Aircraft asset manager Amentum Capital (‘Amentum’), Tokyo Stock Exchange listed Financial Products Group Co. (‘FPG’ – 7148:JP) and JOLCO structuring specialist FPG Asset & Investment Management BV (‘FPG AIM’) are further expanding their successful cooperation to provide quality aircraft investment solutions to investors. As part of this next phase of their strategic partnership, FPG has increased its share in Amentum from 25% to 75% and FPG AIM has acquired 5% of the share capital of Amentum. Amentum, FPG and FPG AIM started their cooperation in November 2013, when FPG acquired its initial 25% minority shareholding in Amentum. FPG and FPG AIM are leading JOLCO arrangers, covering aircraft, shipping and marine container industries as part of their product offering. With Amentum the group has access to an aircraft asset & operating lease manager, with a strong track record in sourcing, managing, transitioning and divesting commercial aircraft for investors. Since 2014 Amentum has closed several aircraft JOL transactions with FPG and FPG AIM. The JOL arranging activities will be up-scaled significantly with the expanded partnership.
