The combination brings Theorem’s consumer credit funds as well as its engineering and data science expertise under the Pagaya umbrella. This strategic transaction solidifies Pagaya’s overall mission to serve its partners, their customers and investors by expanding access to credit across the lending ecosystem.

In aggregate, Pagaya’s fund management business is expected to grow to more than $3 billion of capital in investment vehicles separate from and incremental to the Company’s market-leading securitization program, in line with the Company’s financial strategy to diversify its funding sources and enhance its capital efficiency. In addition to its existing investment opportunities, investors in Theorem’s credit funds will now have access to credit assets generated by Pagaya’s network of 30 of the top lenders in the US, including over $180 billion of application volume per quarter.

“We are very excited about Theorem and its amazing employees becoming a part of Pagaya,” said Pagaya’s CEO, Gal Krubiner. “I have known the team for several years. As we have seen network volume and institutional investor demand grow exponentially, I believe that their institutional fund management expertise will sharpen Pagaya’s already market-leading capabilities. In addition, Theorem will have access to the Pagaya network’s unique investment sourcing flow, and Pagaya will be able to fully take advantage of the impressive machine learning investment technology that underlies Theorem’s private credit investment platform.”

“Theorem is continually focused on evolving its portfolio management capabilities and increasing the size of its investing opportunity set; Pagaya is the ideal partner for Theorem to take our institutional fund business to the next level,” said Hugh Edmundson, Theorem’s Founder and Chief Investment Officer. “We think the opportunity for our limited partners, employees, and stockholders through the combination of each company’s technology platform is unique and will drive enhanced performance for many years to come.”
