Across a number of threads clients have enquired about likely losses, and in particular the expectation that a loan in default will give rise to a loss. The loss given default ratio for BondMason is currently running at 1.3% This is the expected loss on average for a loan, which has gone into default. For example, if you have a £100 loan position which has gone into default on BondMason, then on average, you will suffer a £1.30 loss. High level statistics relating to our portfolio are updated on our statistics page every 3-6 months: bondmason.com/statistics-page
More detailsGiven this thread relates to losses, I though I'd share some detailed up-to-date statistics: Total losses since inception: £56,968 (since Oct 2016) Total amount invested: £35M Losses as a percentage of total amount investment: 16bps. (0.16%) Total interest paid: £1.14M Losses as a percentage of interest paid: 5% NB: Average term of loan: 5 months. (which is why £1.14M / £35M = 3.3%; not 8%) Annual expected loss as a percentage of invested capital: 38 bps Annual expected loss as a percentage of interest earned: 4.75% Proportion of loans going into default / watchlist: 12% The loss given default ratio for BondMason is currently running at 1.3% Any questions

I hope that Steve's optimism for recovery of current positions is well-founded. I have been 'Mr Unlucky' in my own BM experience. I have just achieved 'cash out exceeds cash in' but unless a high proportion of currently unsaleable positions is recovered, I might as well have kept the money on deposit. We are always told to keep a long view, so here is my experience:
- Started with BM May 2016; ramped up to £24.5K invested by January 2017.
- Hit by six defaulting (mainly invoice trading) positions, which yielded, respectively: two total (100%) losses (write-offs); and four write-offs ranging from 57% to 90% of capital. Oh, and by the way I was always at 1% limit per position.
- Written off sum from these losses £526 (cf. gross return £2048 before fees of £300). On the invoice trading side alone it turns out that I did better on my own behalf at a larger scale with Market Invoice over a preceding 18-month period (though nowhere near well enough to want to continue or justify the risks of invoice discounting)!
- Went into drawdown mode with BM May 2017 due to the losses caused by the unsuccessful foray into invoice trading; closed account February 18, except for remaining unsellable positions. Some has trickled back since then but currently have over £1200 waiting on hopeful recovery, which will represent all but about £100 of positive out-turn from my BM experience.
If I just suffer something not much worse than the average loss of £1.30 per £100 on these remaining property-related positions over the next year or so I will walk away reasonably content.
