Introducing the Wellesley Savings Bond
We are very excited to announce the introduction of the Wellesley Savings Bond. Wellesley has enjoyed an incredibly successful starting chapter, and this bond provides investors with the opportunity to contribute to the expansion of our business and lending opportunities. The funds used from the bond will provide additional operating capital which will be used for lending and growth of our company.
“Our company operates in an exciting frontier which traditionally has been dominated by the high street banks; we lend your money to carefully chosen borrowers. Our speciality is secured lending, presently within development finance and property, however we consider any type of secured lending that offers a tangible asset as security.
We have issued this bond because there remains an unprecedented demand for funding from reliable borrowers who can offer high quality asset security and therefore our business is presented with significant growth potential and we invite investors to share in our success” Graham Wellesley, Chairman of Wellesley & Co.
We are the first peer to peer lending platform to give savers the chance to invest in a bond in their own company. The product offers a rate of 7% for a 5 Year term. In order to give the Bondholders the flexibility we are also offering two other bonds; the 3 Year Bond and the 4 Year Bond. We believe this bond offers a great opportunity to investors. Our simple investment product will provide our customers with a better rate of return on their capital that the UK High Street Banks.
Auto-matching
Auto-matching is a new feature which we have introduced into our loan matching software, which we believe will be a successful new aspect of our business model. It is designed to give our customers the greatest amount of portfolio diversification possible. It runs once a week, and matches lenders proportionately to every loan on our loan book on a volume weighted basis. It also re-matches existing customer’s money each week by allowing them to have the best diversification at that time. This diversification will improve as our loan book grows, reducing the exposure to an individual loan.
The Wellesley & Co Television Campaign
We have launched out television advertisement which promotes our platform to savers in the UK. This advert will give us increased exposure, and we believe that this natural step in the development of our company which will contribute very positively to our continued growth.
New Website Design
Wellesley & Co is evolving at a rapid rate, and we understand how important our website is to our investors and to our business running smoothly. Therefore to coincide with our new bond launch we have made some changes to our website to improve the user experience. The website is now responsive to mobile devices to make it easier to use our website whilst on the go.
For all our Wellesley & Co customers, there is also a new improved visibility on our platform. There is a new feature which enables our lenders to see the number of loans they are matched to at any given time. There is also now a summary showing what percentage of loans you are matched to and individual loan breakdowns. We have introduced these features to enable lenders to have a further understanding of the investment and see how there interest is being earned.
Wellesley & Co hits the £50 million mark
We are delighted to announce that according to the latest Liberum AltFi Index, we have become the 5th largest Peer-to-Peer Lender by 2014 market share. We were also categorised in MoneyWeek as being an ‘A-List Platform’ by David Stevenson, Editor of AltFinance News.
Stevenson recently wrote- “Wellesley & Co. has seen phenomenal growth in 2014, differentiating themselves from the crowd in AltFi Data’s ongoing analysis of the peer-to-peer lending sector. In percentage terms, Wellesley’s 2014 growth is unsurpassed within the Liberum Altfi Volume Index. The platform appears to have nailed its originations methodology.”
