About J.C. Marlin Capital

J.C. Marlin Capital is an investment firm which focuses on investing in a broad range of credit and hard asset classes, including corporate loans & bonds, liquidations, and real estate. The investment focus is special opportunities where credit may be scarce, and the downside is protected by tangible asset value or future cash flow. J.C. Marlin Capital Partners comprises the in-house Legal Execution team, based in Barcelona, and with €155 million in assets under administration and no losses.

Members of J.C. Marlin Capital’s investment team and investment committee have been working together since 2009 through the wave of restructurings that took place in Spain following the Global Financial Crisis. In 2018 J.C. Marlin Capital became an independent firm, establishing a proprietary and successful track record ever since.  

Investment Criteria

J.C. Marlin Capital acquires opportunistic credit situations in Spain at a significant discount to extract value from market dislocations. Given our focus on smaller investments, transactions are sized appropriately to reach controlling stake or sole lender position, allowing to command all future negotiations.

The firm is uniquely positioned to profit from “off-the-run” and non-competed opportunities, as most pan-European funds require a minimum ticket size of €50 million. Our local footprint and established track-record has developed into strong, bilateral relationships with banks and secondary funds, allowing from direct, non-intermediated sourcing.   

• Target Net IRR: 15-18%

• Net Money Multiple: +1.4x/1.6x
