Investment Philosophy
Sky Trust differentiated credit-focused franchise combines relative value trading with a deep understanding of fundamental credit investing and legal and structuring expertise. With an emphasis on risk management, Sky Trust opportunistically invests across the capital structure in less efficient segments of the market with the goal of generating consistent, alpha-driven returns across market cycles.
FOCUS
We are focused on global investment strategy. We generally seek to build a concentrated portfolio of scale investments in industries we know well and have developed significant expertise
Culture of transparency
We believe in sharing good (and bad) news early, aligning ourselves with our investors and companies, and truly partnering and empowering management teams. We also don’t charge transaction or monitoring fees to our portfolio companies (and haven’t since our founding)
Commitment to making companies better
We invest for the long haul to support the strategic and financial objectives of outstanding management teams. We believe our deep sector experience allows us to add value and offer insights that enable our companies to flourish.
Industry Insights
Our investment philosophy is enhanced further by the depth of our focus on industry verticals. We have distinguished ourselves as a value-added partner with deep sector insights in select verticals which enables us to take a differentiated approach to sourcing, diligence, and value creation initiatives
Demonstrated performance
We have a clear investment philosophy and disciplined approach to investing and have demonstrated performance across multiple investment cycles over our 10 years history
Responsible Investing
Sky Trust Partners is committed to conducting business in a safe, responsible, and ethical manner. These principals guide our decision-making throughout the investment lifecycle.
From the onset of the investment process, we pursue ideas inspired by environmental, social, and governance (‘ESG’) issues and participate in industries engaged with these themes. All companies in which we invest are first vetted by our professionals, who work closely with expert advisors, to identify and mitigate potential ESG conflicts. Our ESG due diligence program requires an assessment of ten key ESG areas which may impact the current or future performance of a company. One Equity Partners will forego any investment that fails to meet its ESG standards.
Once invested, One Equity Partners reviews and monitors all its portfolio companies to ensure they adhere to its ESG policy, which is periodically reviewed to incorporate best practices as risks evolve. This process allows One Equity Partners to quickly detect and preempt or manage any difficulties that may arise during the investment period.
As investments mature, One Equity Partners seeks to continually improve upon ESG reviews and recommendations, and, together with management, works to ensure that ESG issues are prioritized through to and beyond exit.
Professionally managed investment portfolios
Time is a precious commodity. Researching investments in ever-changing markets and handling investment transactions are more than most people have time for. Global Trust Finance's Asset Management Solutions program allows you to delegate the daily management of your assets and invest with confidence, knowing that your portfolio is in the hands of experienced professionals.
Different goals require different approaches.
At Sky Trust we recognize that each investor is unique. That’s why we take a personalized approach to developing an asset management strategy by selecting investment portfolios that closely match your goals, tolerance for risk, and expectation for returns.
To provide you additional value, we strive to:
- Create opportunities for rewards while managing risk.
- Minimize management and administrative costs.
- Provide ongoing services that adapt to changes in your goals.
wealth planning
A solid Wealth Plan ensures you have a financial strategy that supports your aspirations. Once we understand your lifestyle goals, we look at the current path of your finances to ensure that you are on track to meet them through retirement and beyond.

What we do
ACTIVE MANAGEMENT ACROSS ASSET CLASSES
We offer regional and global high-active-share equities, fixed income across the yield curve, liquidity solutions backed by four decades of experience as a core capability and, in private markets, real estate, infrastructure, private equity and private debt. Beyond investment management, Sky Trust provides engagement in equity and bond markets, proxy voting and policy advocacy.
HOW WE WORK
Outstanding team
Sky Trust is a tightly knit group working together with management teams toward common goals. We have more than 70 investment professionals, including 24 partners with an average tenure at Sky Trust of more than a decade. This allows us to devote substantial time to the companies in which we invest.
Collaborative style
Our objective is to work with portfolio company leadership and create a backdrop in which companies can thrive. We encourage management teams to invest alongside us, and our forward-thinking approach and philosophy to leave companies better than when we found them also means that portfolio company employees often choose to invest alongside Sky Trust as well.
Alignment of interest
We believe that people thrive when they are working toward a common and focused goal. We are proud of our transparency and alignment of interest with our portfolio companies and investors. We believe our focus and significant skin in the game allows us to build true, successful partnerships.
Our Purpose
This means supporting our colleagues, customers and clients, and the communities and environment in which they operate, for the benefit of all our stakeholders. It means helping people and businesses unlock their potential and plan for the future with confidence, building relationships that stand the test of time. And it means that we continue to be there for the long-term, whatever the climate, making decisions that are right for today and for generations to come.
To achieve this, our long-term strategic approach place exceptional service at the heart of everything we do. Each of our diverse, specialist businesses have a deep industry knowledge, so they can understand the challenges and opportunities that our customers and clients face. We support the unique needs of our customers and clients to ensure that they thrive, rather than simply survive, whatever the market conditions.
We believe in putting our customers and clients first. Our cultural attributes bring out the very best of our people, skills and strong reputation that we have built with our stakeholders over many years. A combination of expertise, service and relationships with teamwork, integrity and prudence underpins our approach and gives us the tools to thrive over the long term.
And we recognise that to help the people and businesses of Britain thrive, we also have a responsibility to help address the social, economic and environmental challenges facing our business, employees and clients, now and into the future.
