Overview
Markin Asset Management, LP (“Markin” or the “Firm”) is a Delaware limited partnership that
was established in October 2020 and is headquartered in Rye, New York. David M. Marra and
Matthew K. Kinzer own equal stakes of Markin Asset Management GP, LLC, Markin’s general
partner.
Markin provides discretionary investment advisory services to a pooled investment vehicle
(referred to herein as the “Fund”) and discretionary investment sub-advisory services via
separately managed accounts to individuals, trusts, endowments, and family offices (referred to
herein as “Sub-Advisory Clients”). Together, the Fund and its Sub-Advisory Clients are referred
to herein as “Clients.”
Markin provides discretionary investment management services through multi-asset class
investment strategies that target a consistently risk-managed profile. The strategies seek to
maximize total return and preserve capital by reducing exposure to large drawdown cycles. The
Firm’s proprietary quantitative analysis is applied systematically to products including highly
liquid exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”).
Each Client’s investment objectives and strategy are set forth in a private placement
memorandum (in the case of the Fund) or written sub-advisory agreement (in the case of a Sub-
Advisory Client). Such documents, together with the subscription agreements, operating
agreements, and other governing documents of the Clients (as applicable), are collectively
referred to as the “Governing
Documents.” The Governing Documents contain detailed
information regarding the investment strategies utilized and any investment restrictions imposed;
investment strategies and restrictions vary by Client.
For Sub-Advisory Clients, Markin will recommend the strategy that is most appropriate based
upon the Sub-Advisory Client’s investment profile and in direct consultation with the Sub-
Advisory Client’s primary adviser. Once a strategy is selected, Markin will manage the Client’s
account in accordance with its model portfolio employing the investment strategy.
Generally, Markin does not tailor its portfolio management services to the individual needs of
Sub-Advisory Clients. Upon request and at Markin’s sole discretion, the Firm may offer
customized strategies on a case-by-case basis depending on several factors, including, but not
limited to, account size and strategy. In that instance, Sub-Advisory Clients should be aware that
imposing investment restrictions may limit Markin’s ability to manage their account in
accordance with the model portfolio, resulting in investment performance that differs from the
model portfolio or other client accounts utilizing the same strategy. Markin does not tailor its
advisory services to the individual needs to investors in the Fund (“Investors”) and does not
accept Investor-imposed investment restrictions.
As of December 31, 2023, Markin had $96,234,728 of regulatory assets under management on a
discretionary basis.
