Hello,
I've decided to exit Bondora, but I am wondering how I should do it. Should I just leave everything as it is and wait 4-5 years until all loans mature or should I sell some of the loans. Is is a good idea to sell current loans? What about delayed and defaulted ones? I believe current loans are my only chance to exit break-even or small in small profit so I don't think its wise to sell them with premium. What is your opinion ?
Thanks

I've first sold defaulted loans -big discount needed- then you can shell current loans with long payment history at pair or small benefit or keep and shell only defaults.
Don't run to shell current loans, first get rid of all the junk.

Thanks Decent loans will sell in 3-5% premium range. Overdues difficult to move unless substantial discounts. Defaults : EE will sell with around 85% discount, others harder (bigger discounts)

Yeah, when I saw that there are loads of loans at ~90% discount i thought to myself - is it it even worth it selling at these prices? Might as well leave them and wait for a miracle.

I have kept nearly all mine and in about 3 months from now I will have withdrawn all the money I deposited. I will still have about 4000€ in current loans and 8500€ in defaults which are recovering about 1000€ in a year. I think it is worth waiting, but it depends on how long you have invested there as the rates are much lower today.

I've started investing September last year and adding funds from time to time. I don't see a point in selling defaulted loans for 85% discount. According to Bondora life stats, I should get 30% of the principal from defaulted loans. Yield to maturity based on my stats says 10.93%...should I believe this number at all ?

Yield to maturity depends on what may happen in future and you can change it by putting in your own expected recovery percentages. Click on the symbol beside the figure they suggest.

I would not advise selling at 85% discount, I just meant that if you want to exit this is around the discount to be thinking of. As for "I should get 30% of the principal from defaulted loans", all I can say is that is not my experience. Concerning "Yield to maturity", follow JamesFrance's comment.

I don't know what should the expected recovery percentage be. My portfolio stats says it should be 35%. If I set it to 0%, yield is 6.62%, so at least i shouldn't be losing any money if I leave the portfolio as it is.

That will change as your loans continue to default before they are fully repaid. There is no way of knowing the final result.

If they are a better judge than Bondora (likely to be the case) then an EE default is worth around 15% and the others around 10%.

You can try packing default loans with green loans into small portfolios where total discount will be less than those disastrous -85% when sold separately. Eg packing 50 Euro green loans with 10 Euro red and selling with 10% discount might look attractive for someone and yields better results than selling the greens for 1-2% margin and the red at 15% face value.
