what we do

Skybound’s investment strategy aims to provide investors with diversified, global exposure to Private Capital

Skybound uses the umbrella-term ‘Private Capital’ to describe their investments in the underlying asset classes of:

Debt, debt-equity, equity in privately-owned companies, real estate, trade finance, impact investments and special situations.

Private Capital refers to funds belonging to private investors rather than banks, government entities or stock exchanges that are provided to businesses as loans or equity investments.

Skybound’s funds offer exposure to asset classes with more attractive risk-return profiles relative to comparable public market opportunities. These asset classes provide protection from market noise, with low correlation to traditional assets such as listed stocks and bonds.

In so doing, we aim to provide investors with investment opportunities that provide downside protection and return generation.

COVID-19 Update

COVID - 19 Notice

Skybound Capital continues to operate during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Our infrastructure is designed to allow our teams to work seamlessly from any location, and we are well resourced to operate during these uncertain times.

INSPIRED BY THE SHAPE AND QUALITIES OF A PRISM, THE FUND HAS A MULTIPLICITY OF POSSIBILITIES.

Developed principally as a private debt fund, the Prism Fund engages in specialised financing, within various asset classes.

Its role is to provide simple, streamlined financing solutions to companies with limited access to capital, but that demonstrate they have fundamental value and the ability to repay debt.

We focus on ensuring that the intrinsic value of a business translates into a return on capital invested.

To achieve this, we concentrate our investments in businesses that have a higher probability of superior performance.

We measure this likelihood by testing counterparties according to stringent criteria. If they succeed, further due diligence is conducted before a final decision to include them in the Fund is made.

The Prism team carefully selects investments according to their strategy, assets and geography.

The Fund's return objective is to target a yield of better than cash in any rolling year.

This return is uncorrelated to market performance and independent of systematic market volatility.

The Willow Tree Fund

INSPIRED BY THE WILLOW TREE, THE FUND FEATURES THE STRENGTH, STABILITY AND STRUCTURE OF THE TRUNK, STANDING FIRM AND WITHSTANDING THE GREATEST OF CHALLENGES

The Willow Tree Multi-Asset Flexible Fund consists of a refined blend of bespoke holdings in global equity and Private Capital investments.

It combines asset classes, geographies, currencies and industries to drive strong, long-term risk-adjusted returns.

At the heart of Skybound's investment philosophy are partnerships, relationships and experience, built over many years and based on integrity and trust. It seems appropriate then that the majority of investments within the Fund are secured by strategic partnerships and co-investment opportunities with investment leaders, in their respective areas of expertise.

As a result, the decision to participate is not simply based on an investment thesis, but also on the people involved. The Fund seeks to enhance investor portfolios by targeting absolute returns over the medium-to-long-term, with a slightly higher level of volatility in the short-term.

The Fund takes advantage of opportunities that generate absolute returns irrespective of market conditions.

The Fund aims to achieve a targeted annualised return of approximately 8%-12% per annum.

The Silver Lake Private Equity Fund

The Silver Lake Private Equity Fund is a diversified private equity fund, structured as an en commandite partnership.

The Fund's primary focus is to invest alongside leading private equity houses in South Africa.

Skybound sources, checks, and manages commitments to a concentrated number of the industry's best private equity experts.

The Fund has already committed to a range of private equity deals with an investment horizon of 5-7 years and is expected to see its first exit in the next 12 months.

The Fund benefits from the experience and wealth of its Manager's intellectual capital across the globe. A well-qualified team of analysts and researchers in Hong Kong, London, Australia, Mauritius and South Africa supports it.

At the core of the Skybound investment-philosophy, are partnerships which have been built based on integrity and trust.

In this way, investments are backed not only by the investment thesis of the businesses that the Fund has exposure to but also by the individuals being partnered with.

The Fund allows investors to gain access to a broadly diversified private equity portfolio with a single commitment. The Fund already has over R200m of committed capital invested, providing immediate access to the underlying investments unlike typical private equity funds.
