USA – Stratus Financial, a leading provider of aviation-training financing solutions, announced that its investment fund has reached $20 million in assets and has distributed over $2.7 million in returns to investors since its inception in 2021. The milestone underscores Stratus Financial’s continued growth and success in providing financing for aspiring pilots while delivering attractive returns to investors.

Launched in 2021, the Stratus Financial Fund is a 506(c) passive income fund that finances purpose loans for commercial aviation training, serving super-prime borrowers in an underserved $2 billion market. The fund’s success reflects Stratus’s disciplined underwriting, deep industry expertise, and mission-driven approach to helping students pursue careers in aviation.

“Reaching $20 million in the fund is a milestone that represents more than growth—it represents trust,” said Brandon Martini, Co-CEO and Co-Founder of Stratus Financial. “Our investors believe in our mission to empower aspiring pilots, and this success proves that strong financial performance and meaningful impact can go hand in hand.”

Since its launch, the Stratus Financial Fund has helped student pilots access the training they need while providing investors with consistent, preferred returns. The fund continues to expand its network of investors and flight school partners to meet the growing demand for pilot training.

“We designed this fund to serve two critical needs: helping students achieve their dreams of flight and giving investors access to a stable, transparent, and high-yield investment opportunity,” said Anthony Geraci, Co-CEO and Co-Founder of Stratus Financial. “Crossing $20 million in assets demonstrates that our model works and that our impact continues to grow.”

“What excites me most is the loyalty of our investors,” added Eljona Shkreli, Managing Director of Investor Relations at Stratus Financial. “Many joined us in the early days and have continued to reinvest year after year. Their confidence fuels everything we do as we expand access to flight training and deliver meaningful returns.”

Looking ahead, Stratus Financial plans to continue scaling its lending operations, deepen investor relationships, and expand its impact on the aviation training sector.
