Forum Markets Expands Aviation Portfolio with $12 Million Engine Buy

Forum Markets has acquired a commercial aircraft engine for approximately $12 million, marking the latest step in its strategy to build a portfolio of income-generating aviation assets. The purchase brings the company’s current fleet to four engines, with a fifth acquisition expected to close in the coming weeks.

The engine, a CFM56-7B model, was purchased from Aero Engine Solutions in an all-cash transaction. It is currently under an active lease with a major U.S. airline, providing Forum with fixed monthly revenue supplemented by usage-based fees. The company anticipates double-digit annual returns when factoring in lease income and the asset's projected residual value.

Management views the CFM56-7B as a strategic anchor for its portfolio. As the world’s most widely used commercial turbofan, the model offers a deep and liquid secondary market for parts and teardowns. CEO McAndrew Rudisill noted that the platform’s ubiquity creates a repeatable pipeline for future acquisitions, supporting the company's broader goal of tokenizing real-world assets to offer investors access to structured, cash-flowing securities.
