Where I Invest

My Peer to Peer Lending Investments, December 1st 2023

Total P2P Portfolio Annual Rate Of Return Since 2015: 5.6%

My return rate doesn’t include any new customer cashback incentives or investments held within Collateral, Lendy, Funding Secure, Moneything and The House Crowd which are in administration. Administration processes take time to complete so I will adjust these numbers once the results are known.

As you can see from the above graph, my return rate has fallen over the years as I’ve diversified into more companies to spread the risk and lost money to due failed loans. I’ve also drifted away from the higher-risk p2p loan platforms opting for more stable investments.

Here are my current p2p investments:

When I began investing in peer to peer lending, it was overwhelming. There were so many options and I had so many questions. Which peer to peer sites were reputable and which were the safest? Were they profitably operated and if not, could they sustain losses? Could they recover money from non-paying borrowers? It took months of research to answer these questions and I’m happy to offer my experiences and opinions on Financial Thing.

If you are new to peer to peer lending, I recommend reading my Peer to Peer Lending Guide before you make any decisions or contact me with any questions.
