Marathon's data-driven analysis informs our acquisition of residential loans, while utilizing our highly qualified servicers to drive improving credit dynamics.

Marathon selectively sources new origination non-qualified (“Non-QM”) first and second lien residential mortgages secured by creditworthy borrowers. Our highly experienced capital markets team has cultivated well-established industry relationships that enable us to efficiently build portfolios and crystalize value through securitizations, bulk sales, and cash flow realizations.

Over the past two decades, we have developed and refined M2PT (Marathon's Machine-Learning Proprietary Technology), a suite of models and analytic tools. Our resources enhance our fundamental analysis and inform our sourcing, underwriting, and structuring of our residential mortgage investments.

Marathon was selected by the U.S. Treasury for the Public Private Investment Program ('PPIP') to manage capital for the U.S. Treasury, investing in residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities to stabilize the housing market through increased liquidity and market price discovery, ultimately achieving the highest Net MOIC among the 9 selected investment managers.
