DUBLIN and STAMFORD, Conn. and NEW YORK and TOKYO, Sept. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AIP Capital (“AIP”), an alternative investment manager focused on opportunities in asset-based finance and BeYoke Capital (“BeYoke”), a global aviation specialty investment platform based in Japan, today announced the formation of a strategic partnership.

The partnership will originate aircraft and engine investment opportunities for Japanese investors via Japanese Operating Lease (“JOL”), Japanese Operating Lease with Call Option (“JOLCO”) structures, and secured loan products. As part of this partnership, AIP has made a minority investment in BeYoke and would join the board of directors. This positions AIP with a Japanese FSA licensed JOL / JOLCO arrangement platform and will go on to further expand AIP’s presence in the Asia-Pacific region.

“We are excited to formally begin this partnership with BeYoke,” said Scott Debano, Managing Director at AIP. “BeYoke is led by a team of experienced and well-respected market leaders. AIP and BeYoke are well aligned with a similar vision, and we believe this partnership will bolster both platforms while enhancing AIP’s financing capabilities and further grow our investor base and serve our airline customers across the globe.”

“We are pleased to announce this partnership to the market,” said Rion Sato, CEO of BeYoke Capital. “AIP has proven its capabilities as an origination partner and asset manager. We believe our shared core values and principles will enable us to deliver innovative solutions that align with the evolving needs of our airline partners and unlock diverse and creative investment opportunities for our investors.”
