No F or HR rated loans issued in Estonia in Q4 of 2017 – More stats here

Welcome to another data blog post from Bondora, below we take a look in to the actual and targeted net returns from investments by country, year and quarter. It’s important to note that the most recent quarter will nearly always show a higher return as the loans have only recently been issued and at this point the interest element accounts for a high percentage of the total payment, this is why we discuss data that is specifically over 12 months old below.

We have marked the figures with three different colors, firstly light orange to represent 50 or less loans issued, light blue for 51 – 200 and white for 201+. This is a great way to spot anomalies, such as high volatility in low risk ratings.

Key takeaways

  • Across all countries, the best performing quarter so far was seen in Q1 of 2016 at 15.59%, 1.86% above the target.
  • C rated loans in Estonia are the only credit grading which have been issued over 200+ PCS each consecutive quarter since 2015. In Spain, the same is true for HR rated loans except for Q2 of 2015.
  • Q3 of 2017 was the first quarter that saw more than 200 PCS issued in AA and A credit ratings in Estonia. This followed suit in Q4 of 2017.
  • The best performing year overall was in 2010 at 29.74% actual net return.
  • Q3 of 2017 was the first quarter that saw more than 200 PCS issued in F and HR rated loans in Finland.

Actual and targeted net returns across the board by year

Across all countries and risk ratings, the highest actual net return was seen in 2010 at 29.74%. While this is significantly higher than the most recent figures, it’s important to note that this is from a much smaller sample of loans (1,126 to be exact). Compared to the most recent year, a total of 17,933 loans were issued in 2017.

As mentioned in previous posts, the most recent data will nearly always show a high return as the loans have only recently been issued and at this point the interest element accounts for a high percentage of the total payment. Older data, for example 2009 – 2013, have the highest return as loans from this period may still receive a cash flow from recovery payments. This reinforces how you can maximise your absolute return in P2P by taking a long term view with your investments.
