Investment Philosophy
Photon Yields 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, Photon Yields 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
Photon Yields 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, Photon Yields 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 us to quickly detect and preempt or manage any difficulties that may arise during the investment period.
As investments mature, we seek 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. Photon Yields'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 Photon Yields 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.
