GE-Backed Trust Said to Seek $700 Million in Singapore
By Joyce Koh and Fox Hu - Oct 22, 2012 4:39 PM GMT+0800
Aircraft Capital Trust, a business trust backed by General Electric Co. (GE), is seeking about $700 million in a Singapore initial public offering, said three people with knowledge of the matter.
The company plans to start trading by next month and may offer a yield of 8 percent to 9 percent, the people said, asking not to be identified as the process is private. The trust will be backed by planes from GE’s aircraft leasing unit, which will also own a minority stake in the company, they said.

Interesting! First time I'm coming across such a business trust.
Actually, they did attempt to launch an IPO back in Nov 2007 !

Planes typically have a 20-year life, that means 5% of the yield is a return of capital. So an 8-9% yield is really a 3-4% yield, and your counterparties are hardly the strongest corporations in the world...

If investors are lucky, the Trust might only pay out its earnings (as opposed to its total cash-flow) ? Guess we have to wait and see how they define distributable income. If they are following FSLT pre-crisis model, then
At the moment, the closest SGX listed peer is GIL with its 2 aircraft on lease till Apr 2013.
