Neuberger Specialty Finance has launched New Bridge AeroFinance, a new aerospace financing platform focused on originating and acquiring loans and other debt instruments across the sector. The platform will be led by Richard Moody, with Debbie Frew and William Glaister as co-founders and principals, and it is targeting a portfolio of more than $2 billion.
The business is positioned around asset-based investments, with a stated aim of providing downside protection and durable cash flows. Its launch adds another specialist funding source for aircraft and broader aerospace lending at a time when operators, lessors and other sector participants continue to rely on tailored financing structures.
New Bridge AeroFinance is part of Neuberger Specialty Finance’s asset-based investment activity and reflects continued interest in hard-asset credit strategies. The available details do not specify portfolio composition, geographic priorities or a timetable for reaching the target size.
