Bain Capital Special Situations has $24 billion in assets under management and has invested $19 billion in ~250 deals across a balanced geographic mix of investments in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific since its founding in 2018. We provide bespoke capital solutions to meet the diverse needs of companies, entrepreneurs, and asset owners - in all market cycles. The strategy brings together equity and credit expertise, as well as corporate and real asset expertise, to provide solutions which cannot be met by traditional providers or others funds within Bain Capital. Our dedicated, global team of approximately 145 investment and portfolio professionals contribute the local expertise and capabilities that enable these diverse investments.

Aviation is one of our key focus areas, both today and through the market cycle. Over our history, we have invested close to $5 billion in Special Situations aviation investments. Acquiring physical aircraft, including commercial, cargo, and private jets, has been a particular focus with over $2 billion invested in this sub-sector over the past few years. Going forward, we expect to build off our industry-leading track record to continue to grow our presence in aircraft hard assets, including investing dedicated capital for this investment strategy.
