Michael Schlembach Joins Marathon Asset Management as Senior High Yield Portfolio Manager

NEW YORK, Sept. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Marathon Asset Management (Marathon), a leading global credit investment manager, announced today that Michael Schlembach has joined the firm as a Managing Director and Senior Portfolio Manager responsible for its long-only high yield bond investment program. Mr. Schlembach joins Marathon after an 11-year tenure at J.P. Morgan Asset Management where he served as a Portfolio Manager in its Global High Yield department.

"Mike is an exceptional person who I am highly confident will do a fabulous job for Marathon's clients, managing risk while generating positive results in our high yield bond portfolios," said Bruce Richards, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of Marathon. "Mike has demonstrated a strong track record during his successful tenure at J.P. Morgan and we are delighted that he has joined Marathon to deliver his expertise and high value-add services."
