Sky Investment Counsel's
process is unique in that the firm has a system to quantify both the valuation as well as
the quality of a company. This allows Sky's investment professionals to focus time
on companies that are trading at the low end of their historical valuation levels with
quality characteristics that are attractive. The quality of a company is determined
by a proprietary scorecard which allows them to rate each company based on its
fundamentals. This process ensures that not only is the portfolio good value, but
also good quality. Importantly, Sky will take meaningful portfolio positions (sometimes as high as 7%-8%) in companies that offer attractive upside provided they have the highest quality characteristics. Furthermore, the firm looks beyond traditional value sectors, which allows them to capture opportunities their peers may be forced to overlook. Lastly, Sky may differ from other managers in that they are willing to make unpopular decisions. Often times, the firm buys stocks that are out of favour with the investment community and therefore sell at a discount.
