Goes some way to explain the depleted PFs at RS and LW, the lower returns at ZOPA and FC, I guess.
FS was reassuringly just fraud, incompetence and poor valuations...

Possible, but on the other hand in earlier years, 2009-13, insolvencies where considerably higher than now and that does not seem to have caused much stress with those that invested in p2p already then. Also, the company data at gov.uk shows spikes in 2016 and 17. I first thought that may have contributed to the FC jumps in defaults, but the spikes probably happened to early. They may have contributed to FC changing their rules, though. Speculation ...

09 -13 credit checks, due diligence and rejecting lower quality borrowers were better. Since 2016 it’s been a race to the dregs - especially FC.
