As i have posted previously the program operating the geia and ggba does not manage the accounts in the manner stated in the proposal document in that no trading between members takes place to even the risk spread as evenly as possible across all the loans on the platforms.It in effect only operates a max 20% limit on any one loan.Program changes have been promised to resolve this issue but still have not been implimented or if they have believe me they do not work.I as a result have 80% ish of my loans in 4 wt one of which is 112
So now the 112 loan is untradeable and i need to sell about £1200 of my geia holdings over the next 2 weeks to fund investment in the new loans ,but i cant without 112 becoming a much higher portion than 20%, does this mean 112 has in effect frozen my entire holdings in the geia because ac has not got around to resolving the issue in the time scales announced by cris on this platform.
What is ac going to do to resolve my problem and i suspect many others who just have not seen this problem yet.
1 Allow the sell of loan parts but what will the program do when then trys to sell 112 to get down to 20% but can not because trading is shut in it 2 Allow trading in 112 3 Rush out the new program but difficult to impliment when a loan is suspended
We need the progam released at a time when liquidity is high just before the next wt to give a pot of units for the program to dip in and out of to rebalance the accounts, but with the new instant account having a high weighted advantage will units just go there when sold and leave previously fully invested accounts under invested. Interesting times ahead

Not impressed, missed investing in part in todays draw down because only the swept up part of my instant account was used and did not use any of the directly invested portion so i withdrew most of that to put into the available wt to find out later at that time there was a monitoring issue but trading had not been suspended . My first loan to go a very little pear shaped .So lost out on investment, lost 3.75 interest , to invest in troubled loan and lost perfect investment history, a quadruple whammy.Getting a little worried here,Cris is on holiday having to work to keep the ship on an even keel, this fundimentily an IT based company and it starts to feel a one man band in this area .That is not good if he leaves god help us all.

Err its hands up for me no funny loans at all, but only being doing this for about 10 months and though i would like to fool myself its my skill i know its been pure luck. Had bids in one but no actual investment when it went very funny indeed and another that well i withdrew from just in time.Use the reading the tea leaves system it seems to work for me.

I totally agree , thank you all at ac. Started with four peer to peer companies now reducing slowly to three all released monies going to ac , why because of the way you all respond to this forum. It must sometimes feel a thankless task but it shows to me commitment and passion by senior figures in the company to it long term future which makes me feel safer.Even like it when things said i do not like or want to hear,better the facts than some wishy washy statement to try and please all by making a meaningless non comment.

This seems to me to be another reason why members of the geia and gbba should have a regular view of their holdings in the funds, my vote around what to do in the case of a loan in trouble would probably be very different based on the amount of holdings i had at risk and i am not sure letting somebody else make those votes for me when its my money at risk is a good idea for me or the provision fund, exposing them to considerable anger if thing go wrong and they had in effect ended up with the casting votes.

Cris when the new program for the geia and gbba is due to be launched would it be possible to give a couple of days notice on this and other communication sites,as this is planned to properly enable balancing of diverification by selling and buying of units between different investers i suspect that a sudden and lot of unussual activity will occur until the site resettles and may save you answering questions for startled users

i agree with the need for some form of visibility of the loan spread in both the gbba and the geia, i do not care if its real time or a midnight snap shot daily or even weekly. the reason i see, is that this this is not a bank and we as investors need to manage are own due diligence and the most important of these in my opinion is diversification of risk. now, at present the program is not producing the kind of management of diversification promised in the proposition document, but i have faith that the forthcoming new software changes will improve matters.But after many years of working with artificial intelligence programs i do not expect it to be perfect and lack of availability of loan parts in some loans will restrict the ability to create an ideal risk profile.But if something goes very wrong in either fund with a couple of loans defaulting in a short period of time which the provision fund cannot handle then investors may with some justification feel upset if the information to enable them to understand the spread and level of risk to which they have been exposed to by the program has not been available in a simple and acessable form,its in AC own interest to make this available.

ah no automatic trading between different account holders to aid diversification at present, that explains all for me, look forward to this working in new program as i have 80% of my holding in 4 wind farms at present and it is making me a little worried.Also a thank you for the discussion around long term returns and the need for spreading risk on another thread, this made me take stock and start reducing my risk,as a real beginner in this investment thing a little warning of the economic cycle is most instructive,i am learning a lot forum this forum thank you all.

Interesting cris comment on the geia churning in the conway wt units to give additional diversity to existing geia accounts.i have been waiting with interest for this drawdown to test some conserns about how the program in effect actually works.at present i reinvest capital payments in the geia and withdraw interest and invest this in the manual market so my geia account is very stable and having about 60 percent of my stake spread across 3 wt i would have expected to see the progam slowly reducing these and increasing my stake in those others ,ac does say the fund is activly managed to provide diversity.but absolutly no activity has been seen just small purchases to use up capital repayments.so at face value all the program seems to do is limit any wt investment to 20 percent and thats it.so if i am wrong i will see conway units added to my geia account over the next month if i am right then i will get none,will let you know in a few weeks what happens.

The problem with buffers is as i see it, is if i was a borrower with a pot of money legally mine held by ac earning no, or less interest than the loan rate i would use it up to pay the loan until it gone as fast as possible. Its called good business practice. i have cut my costs. If ac investers do not like it, or cant trade their loan parts on on the after market because of this , so what . I have no direct contractual relationship with them and am paying my loan. The truth is a buffer is a sop to ac investers giving an illusion of security that does not exist, the borrower can or can not fund the loan and any buffer will not change the outcome in the end at all, so why have them. Only one group are advantaged by buffers i have come across on the fc forum, these people invest in a new loan with x months buffer and sell to in their words the muppets in the auto invest fund at x-1 months hence leaving all risks to those people. So as a muppet invester, buffers actually work to my disadvantage

Can we have a your loans button in the geia ,as i have only the remotest idea of the amounts i have in each individual loan, hence the spread of risk such as it is and also as i am investing in the same loans in the manual market it would influence the target amounts i set in each individual wt ect.Also should ala bina madman steal a plane crash it into a wt ,invalidating insurance ,act of war , god, well at least a man who thinks he is the personal representative of god breaking the provision fund it would be nice to know how exposed i was .The geia program seems very stable now but i would have expected when a new green investment appears a bit of a shuffle arround to even out the spread more evenly this does not seem to occur a price maybe we are paying for the above stability maybe.

Hi Phoenix I got to about 95 per cent in 4 weeks since then it just goes up and down a bit.I think at present there is more investment moneys than total loan available maybe because of a lack of loans in the manual market and people parking cash in the geia until opportunities appear.Maybe people will need to sell soon to raise cash to put in the assetz equity raise and things will improve I hope so as I would like to put more in myself
