How does Craft Pod’s investment strategy work?

Craft Pod’s strategy combines private jet access with a sound, growth-oriented investment. Members pool their contributions — cash or stock — into a fund that buys and operates a fleet of private jets alongside other investments. The goal is twofold: members enjoy private flight hours each year while their investment aims to grow in value, with returns designed to track broad market indices like the S&P 500.

By blending income-generating aircraft and index-tracking ETFs, Craft Pod delivers both personal benefits and competitive financial performance.

When you join a Pod, your contribution is combined with other members’ into a large capital pool. Instead of investing alone, you’re part of a group able to purchase high-value assets together. These funds are used to acquire and manage a portfolio of private jets and complementary investments.

You contribute assets, and in return own a stake in a diversified portfolio anchored by real, productive assets — primarily business jets.

Once the Pod reaches its funding target, Craft buys a fleet of business jets (and related aviation assets) tailored to members’ needs. We select modern, efficient aircraft with strong resale value, purchasing them at favorable terms and managing them to maintain value and reliability. The fleet is actively managed to maximize performance, resale value, and member availability.

When members aren’t using the jets, we charter them to third parties, turning idle time into income. Charter revenue helps offset operating costs and contributes to your return. The fleet works for you even when you’re not flying.

Owning aircraft through the Pod offers potential tax advantages. We take advantage of accelerated depreciation, letting us write off a significant portion of aircraft value early on — reducing taxable income. These tax savings improve your net return, offering benefits beyond what typical stock investments provide.

Craft buys late-model jets after the steepest drop in value, maintains them to charter standards, and refreshes interiors regularly. This helps flatten the resale curve and preserve more of your capital compared to owning new jets or fractional shares alone.

A standout benefit of joining a Pod: you actually use the assets you invest in. Each member receives a set number of private jet hours per year based on their contribution. This is similar to fractional jet ownership, but with added financial upside. You enjoy private travel without paying retail charter rates, turning part of your return into a tangible lifestyle benefit.

Craft Pod balances personal utility with investment performance. Your contribution generates charter income, captures tax advantages, and grows through diversified assets, while also delivering a luxury experience through private jet access. You choose what to contribute — cash or stock — and we convert it into ownership of a productive, diversified portfolio. The result: portfolio diversification, recurring income, and personal use of the jets. Everyone benefits when the fleet performs well, both financially and operationally.

We don’t want members to miss out on market growth. That’s why part of the portfolio is invested in low-cost ETFs that track the S&P 500. This ensures your Pod investment keeps pace with traditional market returns while also providing the unique benefits of private aviation. The combination of charter income, aircraft value, and market-aligned ETFs delivers a balanced, competitive return.

Your investment in Craft Pod works on multiple levels:

We aim to make every dollar you contribute work twice — as a growth-oriented investment and as your ticket to private aviation. By pooling resources and managing a balanced portfolio, Craft Pod gives you both the luxury of private flights and the discipline of a diversified, market-aligned investment strategy designed to match your lifestyle and long-term financial goals.
