Our Origins
Infinite Branches - Through the power of collaboration investments are transformed
Infinite Branches is inspired by Yggdrasil, the Tree of Life in Norse mythology who connects those in her universe to the possibilities associated with curiosity.
Her roots run deep.
Her branches intertwine infinitely.
And above all else, she seeks to lift others up to achieve their goals.
Our roots run deep
We think of aviation as an investment in your brand built upon your values that provides flexibility, safety, and efficiency, which enables you to achieve your goals. Investment in the $30 Billion+ global business (or what most people think of as "private") aviation industry (TAM based upon IBIS World, Magna research, and GAMA) that encompasses wholly owned aircraft; fractional shares; memberships, clubs, and jet cards; and aircraft charter use, which continues to increase due to demand caused by the global pandemic. Many companies provide customized services to facilitate business aviation travel; however, investing in this industry is complicated due to unique and complex tax, regulatory, maintenance, and valuation issues.
The founder of Infinite Branches, Shelley A. Svoren, oversaw the portfolio management for an aviation lending portfolio that originated over $1Bn+ in aviation secured loans and financing facilities for aviation service providers (aircraft operators/Part 135 and wholly-owned aircraft brokers) without any losses or repossessions during her tenure. She worked with the bank's clients located throughout the US who are involved in diverse businesses - real estate, private equity, venture capital, and entrepreneurs - where she developed her extensive understanding of their business models, unique capital and market needs, as well as the portfolio companies that drove their past and future successes - and aircraft are an investment that are used to expand their brands.
She is an aviation industry leader who is known for her experience in conducting due diligence and structuring transactions that return a recurring and increasing yield. Her extensive career background includes banking, regulatory, and corporate finance, which enables her to creatively mitigate issues that result in opportunities.
