Here\u00b4s an update of my P2P investments portfolio for May.<\/p>\n

As you may remember from my previous update, my overall strategy is to gradually increase my portfolio size in P2P loans and to earn a minimum blended yield of 10% p.a.\u00a0Both goals were met successfully in May. <\/p>\n

As last month, my only significant investments are in Mintos and Income. I\u00b4m still hesitant to add other loan marketplaces to my portfolio, but will keep testing a few of the better ones. If I add any to my portfolio of material size, I will report on them here.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Portfolio split by marketplace<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I\u00b4m currently invested in two main marketplaces. My portfolio increased from the previous month (\u20ac54,229) to \u20ac57,773.96, and is divided between Mintos (23%) and Income marketplace (77%)<\/p>\n

I\u00b4ve been slowly withdrawing from Mintos, but still have \u20ac13,000 invested in older Iute Credit loans and ESTO loans. For me, both companies have good risk profiles and professional management, so I\u00b4m confident the investments will be repaid, and I\u00b4m not in a rush, or considering selling on the secondary market. Finko is the only company where I have funds in recovery anymore, but only \u20ac0.16, I\u00b4ll remove it from the listing next month regardless of repayment as its not material. <\/p>\n

I\u00b4ve been switching my exposure from Mintos to Income, and while I consider all loans on Income to be equally safe investments I\u00b4ve mostly invested in the shorter term loans of Danabijak (58% of my P2P portfolio), as I like the cashflow and fast turnaround of these loans. I also find Indonesia a very interesting market with a lot of potential, and I\u00b4m following it closely.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I\u00b4m also planning on increasing my investments in ClickCash (17% of my P2P portfolio), as they recently raised USD 1 million from institutional investors, and I think the company\u00b4s progress looks very promising.<\/p>\n

I\u00b4ve also recently bought a few FIN Yritysrahoitus (3% of my P2P portfolio) loans, as the company\u00b4s EIF (European Investment Fund) co-operation gives them an edge over other SME lender offers in Finland.\u00a0 I\u00b4m planning on increasing my exposure to FIN-Y also in the future.\u00a0

Income will be soon adding more loan originators, so looking forward to diversifying to these also.

Income Account overview<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I\u00b4ve been investing on Income marketplace since the end of January and have gradually increased the size of my investments. I\u00b4ve since earned 11.85% on my investments p.a., which equals \u20ac544.08. I have also accrued \u20ac250.23 of interest on my investments which will move to the \u201cinterest\u201d and \u201ctotal profit\u201d line in time. The portfolio split is normal and current loans are 78.1% at the moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Income marketplace does not have pending payments as status, so the 1-15 day late \u201cbucket\u201d I normally don\u2019t pay too much attention to, as it is normal for borrowers to pay their loans a few days late. Once loans hit the 16-30 day \u201cbucket\u201d the likelihood of them going all the way to 60 days late increases. The first buyback guarantees for loans 60 days late were also executed in May and cash was reinvested into new loans.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mintos Account overview\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I started investing on Mintos in 2019 and quickly grew my portfolio to over \u20ac100,000. I\u00b4ve since earned 10.59% on my investments p.a., which equals \u20ac12,046.49.
I\u00b4m following the % offers on Mintos, especially for Iute and Esto, but did not make new investments on Mintos in May.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
