• The Equity Funds primarily focus on making control-oriented buyout
investments in Target Market businesses.
• The HorizonX Funds invest in early-stage businesses with strong technology and
perceived growth potential. They are considered “Equity Funds” and primarily
focus on making investments in companies with a broad set of unique technologies
in the areas of mobility, sustainability, space & connectivity, industrial
technology, and enterprise digital solutions.
• The Leasing Funds are considered “Equity Funds” and primarily focus on
making investments in the following asset classes in the Target Markets: (i)
whole commercial aircraft leases, (ii) commercial aircraft engine lease pools, (iii)
general aviation whole aircraft leases, (iv) structured credit solutions and (v)
equity co-investments alongside other Funds managed by AE Industrial.
• Structured Solutions Fund I seeks to offer financing solutions and make non-
control investments in a diversified portfolio of instruments (including, without
limitation, minority common and preferred equity, second lien and subordinated
debt with an equity component and other structured investments in middle
market companies in the Target Markets) typically in situations where AE
Industrial has determined a control-oriented equity investment is not an option.
AE Industrial’s investment advisory services to the Funds primarily consist of identifying
and evaluating investment opportunities in companies operating in the Target Markets (herein
referred to as “portfolio companies”), negotiating the terms of investments, managing and
monitoring investments, and achieving dispositions for such investments. Although investments
are made predominantly in non- public companies, investments in public companies are
permitted. When the Equity Funds make in investment in a portfolio company, the senior
principals or other personnel of AE Industrial will serve on the portfolio company’s board of
directors and/or otherwise will act to influence control over management of the portfolio
company in which the Equity Funds have invested.
AE Industrial’s advisory services to the Funds are detailed in the applicable private
placement memoranda or other offering documents (each, a “Memorandum”), limited
partnership or other operating agreements or governing documents of the Funds (each, a
“Partnership Agreement” and, together with any relevant Memorandum, the “Governing
Documents”) and are further described below under “Methods of Analysis, Investment
Strategies and Risk of Loss.” Investors in the Funds (generally referred to herein as “investors”
or “limited partners”) participate in the overall investment program for the applicable Fund, but
in certain circumstances are excused from a particular investment due to legal, regulatory or other
agreed-upon circumstances, pursuant to the Governing Documents; such arrangements
generally do not and will not create an adviser relationship between AE Industrial and any
investor. The Funds or the General Partners generally enter into side letters or other similar
agreements (“Side Letters”) with certain investors that have the effect of establishing rights
under, or altering or supplementing the terms (including economic or other terms) of, the
Governing Documents with respect to such investors.
Additionally, as permitted by the relevant Governing Documents, AE Industrial provides
investment or co-investment opportunities (including the opportunity to participate in co-
investment vehicles) to certain investors or other persons, including other sponsors, market
participants, finders, consultants and other service providers, portfolio company management or
personnel, AE Industrial personnel and/or certain other persons associated with AE Industrial
and/or its affiliates. At the present time, AE Industrial advises the Co-Investment Funds
detailed above, and in the future reserves the right to advise additional co-investment vehicles.
Such co-investments typically involve investment and disposal of interests in the applicable
portfolio company at the same time and on the same terms as the Fund making the investment.
As of December 31, 2023, AE Industrial managed approximately $6,233,372,296 in
client assets on a discretionary basis. AE Industrial is controlled by its founding partners,
Michael Greene and David H. Rowe.
