The Alternative Investments asset class has its roots in airplane financing, begun in the mid-1990s. To date, over 50 commercial aircraft with an acquisition value of around EUR 2.2 billion have been successfully financed. Along with extensive financing in commercial rail traffic, media, private equity and infrastructure, we have now financed just under EUR 6 billion in alternative assets.
Our investment philosophy for this asset class involves offering innovative investment opportunities as well as structuring limited-access products for the closed-end fund market. Our internationality, flexibility and innovation offer investors new perspectives in investment types and asset classes. By partnering with top international investment firms, we deliver institutional investment standards across the entire spectrum of financial markets.
We design and manage corporate closed-end funds for products ranging from private equity investments to infrastructure portfolios to secondary-market life insurance funds. Structured financing for individual projects, such as large properties, or new types of ventures, such as green and sustainable investments like solar power plants, round out our product catalog. The one-of-a-kind asset expertise of Hannover Leasing and its investment partners, combined with high-quality fund structures, offers investors the best possible investment options at an optimal balance of opportunities and risks.
The Alternative Investments product lines at Hannover Leasing are operated under the names "Flight Invest" for airplanes, "Private Invest" for private equity, "Life Invest" for life insurance funds, "Infrastructure Invest" for infrastructure funds and "Sun Invest" for photovoltaic projects.
