Theorem Marketplace Lending specializes in investing in loans from online lenders using data science and machine learning. The company analyzes large datasets with algorithms to identify loans that are likely to be repaid, focusing on marketplace lending, which is different from traditional bank loans. By combining quantitative data with credit insights, Theorem aims to make accurate credit pricing decisions. Their strategy is to generate strong returns for investors by selecting loans with lower default risks, such as wedding loans, which have a higher repayment likelihood compared to business loans. Theorem manages investment funds for various clients, including endowments and pensions, and earns revenue through management and performance fees based on investment returns. Theorem's goal is to provide reliable returns across different economic conditions by leveraging technology to make informed investment choices.
