Bryan Moss, the former president and vice chairman of Gulfstream, has joined private investment firm Guggenheim Partners as the chairman of its recently restructured business aircraft investment division. The company, which manages more than $80 billion in assets, provides investment management, investment banking and capital market services among other offerings to corporations, governments and individuals. The firm had previously managed a corporate aircraft lending business in partnership with UBS, but it was mutually dissolved during the financial downturn.
Guggenheim re-entered the business aircraft finance arena in January, focused exclusively on asset-based loans, according to Jim Crowley, managing director of the company’s corporate aviation group. Since the beginning of the year, the company has closed several transactions mainly among the larger, newer jets and has established what Crowley described as a fairly robust business pipeline.
