- What appetite is there among financiers and investors for green time leasing, midlife leasing and part out? How do their return expectations compare with what’s possible in the market?
- How can more capital be attracted to the space? Who is looking into it? Are new structures required?
- Are alt-lenders able to provide sufficient liquidity in lieu of adequate bank funding?
- How is the macroeconomic environment impacting funding? Is risk now being calculated differently given post-Covid market realities?
