Willis Lease Finance Corporation Announces Investment Partnership with Liberty Mutual Investments

Willis Lease Finance Corporation (WLFC) has announced the closing of an investment partnership with Liberty Mutual Investments (LMI) that will provide up to $600 million to fund WLFC's credit strategy. This partnership, supported by a warehouse debt facility from Bank of America N.A., will focus on loan and loan-like engine financings, a business pioneered by WLFC. WLFC views this as a significant step in growing its asset management business, with LMI's involvement underscoring the credibility and strength of WLFC's platform in the aviation finance sector. LMI, in turn, sees this as an opportunity to combine its capital and expertise with WLFC's operational strengths to scale the business and explore adjacent opportunities in aviation finance.
