Seabury Capital Group (Seabury Capital) has announced the formation of Seabury Aircraft Capital (SAC) through a combination of its existing advisory practices and the acquisition of an investment banking firm Structured Finance International (SFI) whose professionals have arranged over the past 20 years aircraft financing with an aggregated acquisition costs exceeding US$18 billion (in 2020 dollars).
By virtue of this combination, SAC will be one of the leading advisory and capital arranging firms for financing for new and used aircraft, using innovative tax- and non-tax-driven financing structures.
With SAC, Seabury Capital professionals have a combined history of advising on over US$300 billion of new aircraft agreements, US$30 billion of aircraft financing structures and over US$100 billion in corporate financing arrangements.
Buttressed with SFI’s investment banking capabilities, market knowledge, and expertise in the development and implementation of structured financing solutions for aerospace clients, SAC will assist carriers in sourcing and purchasing assets, as well as in arranging and executing the financing, specific to each airline fleet and balance sheet’s requirements.
In addition, the unit leadership’s unique ability to analyze transactions from the perspective of all key participants, including airlines, manufacturers, and investors, as well as their long-standing relationships within the investment community, are strategically positioned to expand Seabury Capital’s investor pool, making airlines and aircraft more appealing to a wider array of institutional and other investors.
