US-based Guggenheim Partners has appointed Bryan Moss as chairman of its business aircraft investments activities, a role in which he is charged with expanding this division’s global reach.

Moss was previously the vice chairman and president of Gulfstream Aerospace, a subsidiary of General Dynamics Corporation. He has also been executive vice president of the parent company. In the past he has served on councils such as the US-China Business Council and he currently sits on the board of directors of RTI International.

“The business aircraft industry is an area where we believe Guggenheim can add value as an industry participant and create attractive investment opportunities for our committed constituency,” said Guggenheim Partners’ president Todd Boehly.

Guggenheim is a privately-held firm with more than $100 billion in assets under supervision. It has headquarters in New York and Chicago, and further offices throughout the US, Europe and Asia-Pacific.

The firm has so far had a busy summer and last week it received a capital injection of $100 million from Singapore-based K1 Ventures.

“K1 Ventures’ investment will provide strategic capital to Guggenheim to support our recent growth initiatives and facilitate further expansion plans both domestically and abroad,” Boehly said at that time.
