25.01.2022 Marathon’s investment return this year is 13.45%, this increase in Marathon’s Net Asset Value (NAV) to $176.07 has been driven by the performance of our Private Equity investments this year. It’s a privilege (and a whole lot of fun) to be a part of these businesses during their ‘growth phase’ in their respective billion dollar industries. To share the journey of your businesses with you, an update will be included with the NAV each month to provide a deeper insight for Inves...tment Partners. A number of highly attractive opportunities remain in our investment funds and the new cash raised will be quickly deployed to capture these opportunities. These opportunities present compelling investment cases that we believe will contribute to the long-term investment performance of Marathon. In order to fully capture these opportunities, we will raise $8.4m. We’d love for Marathon to become a part of your investment portfolio. Please contact us if you’d like to become an Investment Partner. http://ow.ly/p7Pn50yw7O7 #investment #valueinvesting #investing #PrivateEquity #investmentmanagement

24.01.2022 We’ve been asked what do we mean by the term Investment Partner and who are we talking about? It's you, you're our Investment Partner. Although our Investment Funds are public companies, our attitude is partnership. The investment team and I think of our shareholders as owner partners, and of ourselves as managing partners. We do not view our Investment Funds themselves as the ultimate owner of our businesses and investments but instead view the Investment Funds as a conduit ...through which our Investment Partners own these businesses and investments. This is the reason we use and promote the term Investment Partner, if you’d like to be welcomed aboard, please get in touch to find out more about Our Partnership Approach to investing. http://www.menningercapital.com/our-investment-approach We encourage you to think of investing as a long-term pursuit. #valueinvesting #investmentmanagement #privateequity #investing #wealthmanagement

20.01.2022 Thanks to Simply Italian for hosting the Menninger Capital Xmas party. Great way to celebrate a successful 2019, something a little different. Great food and wine, great hosts and great company. Even though it did mean cooking our own dinner

18.01.2022 Marathon delivers a positive return in February during Bear Market We appreciate those Investment Partners that were in a position to be able to top up their investment in Marathon at $160 per share, thank you.

06.01.2022 Marathon maintains a positive returns during Coronavirus Pandemic Marathon’s NAV is $179.79, steadily growing despite the volatility of the markets. Listed portfolio remains fully hedged with hedges performing to expectations... MBL Food Services has experienced steady growth given its diversified strategy across several food service sectors Property Vine’s growth from its central Queensland assets have assisted the broader portfolio of assets to remain positive Marathon is pursuing acquisition opportunities and we look forward to discussing them with Investment Partners Lloyd and I worked together during the GFC and I’ve learned through that bear market is that nobody is born knowing how to navigate an economic crisis, it’s a learned skill and unfortunately you learn it on the job. What our Investment Partners receive is the benefit of Lloyd’s experience having been an investor his whole life, and being ‘a little’ older than myself, he has invested through the major market crashes. As Value Investors, we make critical decisions with a level of uncertainty. We seek to understand how investments will perform from many points of view. http://ow.ly/hZHS50zfDzP

02.01.2022 Marathon’s share price increases to $190 Marathon’s NAV is $180.22 and the share price increase reflects the investment performance. -Share price increases to remain above the Net Asset Value -Marathon has made offers to acquire well-run businesses -Share registry services are moving to Computershare... The increased share price of $190 ensures that as new Investment Partners join Marathon the existing Investment Partners are protected from dilution the original share price of $100 feels like a lifetime ago. The Investment Team has presented offers to several well-run privately owned businesses. Taking a positive view of the completion of these acquisitions, all the boxes would be met for Marathon to achieve an ASX listing a shared long-term goal of mine and the Board. Marathon may not be the largest company on the ASX (yet) but it would have the second highest share price of all ASX companies. The objective of a high share price is for traders and punters to remain out of Marathon’s share register and reduce the volatility of the share price similar to being unlisted where the share price steadily increases above the NAV, which is based on investment performance. The decision to move onto the ASX is one that will rest in the hands of Investment Partners at an Annual General Meeting. Benefits would include liquidity for Investment Partners and better access to capital markets for future transactions which would need to be offset by the costs involved in becoming an ASX listed company. During the COVID-19 pandemic we’ve have taken time to reflect on all aspects of our businesses including governance matters. Computershare provide best-in-class share registry services and have been chosen given our increasing share registry requirements. Thanks to Chris Rockemer, our COO, for holding the line, ensuring that our operations were tried & tested and have remained unaffected during the crisis. http://ow.ly/9sJA50zNfke
