“Even in countries where economic growth has been slow or stagnant, residential and consumer asset performance has been strong throughout the economic cycle, with low levels of defaults across residential and consumer asset classes. The lending landscape in Europe varies from country to country, and for investors with jurisdictional expertise, we think there are plenty of opportunities to uncover value across geography and asset types.” - James Sackett, principal with AB CarVal

Emily Wilson, managing director with AB CarVal, will moderate a panel discussion at Ishka: Aviation Finance – Investing in Aviation: Europe conference, discussing how institutional investors are seeking exposure to hard assets through aviation leasing.

Despite recent turbulence for the airlines, we expect to see a strong appetite for aircraft across the board, particularly for the most ubiquitous narrowbody types.
