When is a Default on a P2P loan not a Default?
Jul 9, 2017
How to peer to peer lenders treat defaults? Very differently actually and the astute investor will need to be aware that each platform defines a default differently.
A record-breaking fortnight for Assetz Capital… Cash Flow! Don’t mention Cash Flow… Another outage for the ThinCats’ website… Only a single loan has been listed on FundingKnight in the first half of 2017
InvestUp introduce RoboLending… Assetz Capital launch yet another managed fund – this one features loans secured against property but the target rate of return is only 5.5% pa… Daring investors can now invest via an IFISA wrapper on the high risk/return ReBuildingSociety platform…
Funding Circle have received full authorisation from the FCA although, looking ahead, they appear a little concerned as to how they will cope with the expected demand from investors when they introduce an IFISA product now they have permission to do so… Zopa are managing this problem by initially offering their IFISA to existing customers only
Funding Circle overtake Zopa to become the P2P that has lent the most… There is good news for Zopa as it becomes the first of the “Big 3” to receive full authorisation from the FCA paving the way for it to offer an IFISA… Meanwhile, the top rate of return at the third of the “Big 3” – Ratesetter – falls 2% in as many months to just 3.2% pa.

Last post: Dec 21, 2015
Diversification. That is the key to successful P2P lending but such a strategy, with funds spread across many platforms, can be extremely time consuming. The InvestUP Crowdfunding brokerage has been established to alleviate this problem by enabling investors to distribute their capital across many P2P hosts using just one account. Currently, offerings are listed from over 20 P2P sites in this online superstore of opportunities.
