Obviously there are many who would say there have been endless moments and signals that it's time to walk away from Lendy but despite all the shocking loans my return has remained at a level where I was content to hang around. However for me the fact that numerous people are now reporting that they've been told on the phone that Lendy are basically going to preserve their higher quality stuff for Lendy Wealth, signals time to wind down for me. This was obviously going to leak here so they clearly have no care about isolating self select customers and are assuming Lendy Wealth is their future no.1 product. I guess it would be way too much to hope for clarification from Paul64 where their products sit in relation to each other and in regards to whether they share loans or operate separately. Until then, in selling to others, they've put me off! |

I’ve not seen anything high quality this year! In reality the quality property loans are being snapped up elsewhere, at rates significantly below Lendy’s.

But, this all makes sense. Higher quality loans = lower rate of return.

Hey, I said 'higher quality', not 'high quality'  What I meant was, better quality sounding proposals and apparently more viable projects with less apparent risk will attract lower rates... |

Not sure " The majority" is a correct description. LY rarely defaults anything. They may however be non-paying interest accruing + Bonus loans
P.S I have Mid £20K in LY when and if thy repay I move to Welendus

Surprisingly relatively few of the lower rate loans have defaulted, though helped by the upping of the rate on several. I suspect if you'd diversely invested in the lower rate loans your rate of return may actually be better than in the higher rate loans. Not done any numbers but just a perception that has registered.

I noted the same thing with REBS (where my A rated loans did worse than the B and C), my conclusion being if you (a dishonest borrower) were going to fiddle the figures you might as well do the job thoroughly.

No data, but I also suspect that there may be correlation with loan size.
Valuation is far easier to get right on a £500k loan vs a £5m one.
I don't think many of the diddlers (ie <£500k) have had a commensurate number of problems.
The DFL model frankly is just not worth it for investment on the whole, as the borrower can simply choose to abandon it if things don't look like working out. That's before the people that have no intention of doing anything and just use the loan for a above market value sale.

I remember Lendy called me few days ago to sell me Lendy wealth product.
They said it's a tool to help investor saving time doing due diligence. It was a very popular request.
I told them people wanted due diligence to be done for them, not removing it completely by spreading investment to all loans. And they just miss-understood what investors want!!
He said that Lendy wealth will have better loans and will report my feedback to management.
I suppose they need to do that to sell this product!

So I count 45 loans issued at sub 12% - 7 were subsequently bumped to 12%+ (1 has repaid)
Of the remainder
5 @ 7% all repaid 8 @ 8% 7 repaid, 1 in claims 12 @ 9% 9 repaid, 1 in recovery, 2 live 8 @10% 4 repaid, 2 very late, 2 live 5 @11% 2 repaid, 1 a disaster loss, 1 in recovery (disaster pending), 1 late
So maybe a Wealth product investing in smaller, lower rate loans isnt a bad product. Unforunatately until Lendy get there comms, lender info, technical errors etc sorted its a non-starter for me.
There are some parallels to AC who had a bad patch with similar citicisims (less vocal) but Im yet to be convinced that Lendy have the plan or the skills to repeat AC's improvement. Time will tell.

As long as they get their wedge.

Great news i noticed the other day about 250k went into three loans with the same investor ID must have been the dedicated portfolio manager.any way the more the better to get this pile of overvalued DFLs completed and hopefully repaid in the near future.
