Aerospace Maintenance Edge

This strategy captures the non-discretionary maintenance economy behind every aircraft in the sky. With 28,000+ commercial planes flying globally and a 15,000-unit delivery backlog at Boeing and Airbus, the installed fleet is both growing and aging — driving record demand for engine overhauls, proprietary replacement parts, and certified components that airlines are legally required to buy. The strategy anchors in engine OEMs like GE Aerospace and RTX that earn more servicing engines over 20-30 year lifespans than from the original sale, layers in sole-source aftermarket suppliers like TransDigm and HEICO with 50%+ margins and no generic alternatives, and adds emerging aerospace plays for growth upside. A sector-wide regime filter trims riskier positions during aerospace downturns while core holdings stay invested through their contracted maintenance revenue. Monthly rotation drops the weakest momentum name and replaces it with the strongest, letting compounders run. Built for investors who want exposure to a sector where demand is legally mandated, not discretionary.
