This year marked several firsts for ISTAT's annual European visit; it was the first time the event took place in a city-centered conference center — rather than a hotel-based conference facility; it was the most highly attended European event to date with nearly 1,600 attendees; and it was the first event under the revised nomenclature "EMEA," to be more inclusive of the society's presence in the Middle Eastern and African markets.

 

The 2017 ISTAT Holiday Receptions are coming up soon! On 6 December, ISTAT members will convene in one of six locations: Dublin, London, Los Angeles, Miami, New York and Tokyo. Members will meet at the PYG Restaurant at Powerscourt Townhouse in Dublin, The Royal Exchange in London, the Casa del Mar Hotel in Los Angeles, the Inside Park at St. Bart's in New York, and the Fish Bank Tokyo in Tokyo. The Miami venue will be announced soon. Please join us as we close out another successful year and look ahead to new opportunities.

Aircraft leasing enjoys many positive attributes as an asset investment class. These are widely understood and include the (predominantly) duopolistic nature of commercial aircraft supply, bond-like characteristics, including long-term fixed rental streams, and mobile nature of aircraft. However, while aircraft leasing as an investment class can be positively differentiated, there are nuances to the asset class, which can result in leases of similar aircraft at similar counterparty credits that generate materially different investment return outcomes depending on the timing of the occurrence of a lease default and factors such as the operating characteristics of the aircraft.
