Marathon Asset Management (“Marathon”), a leading global asset manager specializing in private and public credit, has broadened access to its long-established asset-based lending (“ABL”) strategy on iCapital Marketplace.

This expanded presence on iCapital provides the wealth management community with another access point into Marathon’s ABL program. Built over two decades, the program focuses on investments secured by hard assets such as airplanes, railcars, commercial and residential real estate, healthcare, and other types of mission-critical property, plant and equipment.

Ed Cong, Partner and Portfolio Manager of Asset-Based Lending at Marathon Asset Management, said, “Asset-based lending is a multi-trillion dollar market that remains an under-penetrated segment of private credit and a key growth driver for the asset class. We’re pleased to broaden access to our strategy on the iCapital Marketplace at an exciting time for alternatives, as more investors seek to diversify their fixed income and private credit exposures. We believe ABL offers robust cashflows backed by real assets, resulting in a differentiated and non-correlated return profile.”

Marathon is an incumbent in the asset-based lending market with more than $30 billion in investments spanning over 20 years. Designed as an all-weather strategy, the firm’s ABL program is built on capturing through-cycle value in asset-based investments by creating highly diversified and resilient portfolios.
