Marathon Asset Management Limited (Marathon-London) is an independent investment management firm with a 35+ year track record of managing regional, international and global equity strategies on behalf of institutional clients. Marathon-London’s distinctive investment philosophy, referred to as the capital cycle approach to investing, focuses on understanding the supply-side longer-term dynamics within a competitive ecosystem, management behavior in driving an attractive capital cycle dynamic, and how the evolution of supply-side forces impact the economics of the businesses within a particular industry. Marathon-London operates a multi-counselor model in which portfolio managers are generalists focused on specific regions (Europe, Japan, Pacific ex-Japan and the Emerging Markets, and North America) and are independently accountable for their own buy/sell decisions. Each portfolio is then aggregated up for broader international and global equity mandates. There are no committee-based decision-making structures which, in turn, allows the portfolio managers the independence and flexibility to execute their skills as stock pickers and aligns their incentives with that of Marathon-London’s clients.
