Our guide

Guggenheim, with its limited recource product, is a unique financier. It takes an asset finance approach and is comfortable with most jurisdictions in the world. It is a boutique lender and only closes a limited number of transactions that fit its criteria (it turns down far more opportunities than it closes). Guggenheim takes risk seriously and structures transactions to protect aircraft – this includes insisting on third-party operators and maintenance programmes.
