Structuring example for a Regional Aviation Investment Fund
Aviation Fund as investment
for regional aircraft
Assumptions for structuring a Regional Aviation Investment Fund for regional aviation with Prime Invest
- The passenger aircraft market doubles every 15 years
- Demand growth independent of regional developments, as there is a huge pent-up demand in emerging countries
- In the next 20 years demand for 33,070 new aircraft worldwide. This corresponds to 165 new aircraft per month over the entire period
- Aircraft leasing is increasingly preferred by airlines
- Regional aircraft market is particularly attractive
- A high degree of diversification can be achieved by a relatively small investment sum per aircraft
- Climate-neutral air traffic targeted by 2050, therefore also a sustainable investment
- Investors participate in a Luxembourg special fund (RAIF, SICAF)
- Structuring/individualisation of a club deal/individual investment possible
- Investment objective Regional aircraft:
- Large regional aircraft with a seating capacity of 70 to 150 seats
- New or young aircraft (0 to 5 years old)
- Aircraft types popular with the airlines
- Chartering to airlines with a solid credit rating
- Long-term leasing agreements with terms of generally 8-12 years
- Diversification by aircraft type, airline, region and maturity bands
- 40-60% leverage at SPV level
- No running time limit. If the market environment is attractive, the sale of individual aircraft can increase the yield.
- Investment units can be redeemed once a year with a notice period of five months to the end of the month
- The target return of the fund is conservatively 8-10% p.a., opportunistically 10-12%,
Funds launched after a crisis have always performed well. It also takes some time before a fund is launched, the necessary equity is committed and sufficient underwriting capacity is achieved. Therefore, it makes sense now to consider an aviation investment fund for regional aviation from Prime Invest.
The proportion of the middle class is growing disproportionately in relation to the growth of the world population. The middle class represents the largest demand for air travel worldwide.
Demand is particularly strong in the Asia-Pacific region.
