And while I'm on your case the page www.assetzcapital.co.uk/investments/the aftermarket loans have a date just below the big blue View Units for Sale button-This is I suspect the date the auction finished, whereas you could have a more informative date such as notional repayment date (or at least drawdown date) also please display InterestOnly/Repayment in the summary info Thanks |

I'm certain that is the answer... IN EDIT I just had to log out as my browser was starting to go crazy, but with what you were saying shimself when you go to any loan page you have the AI box where you put your bids whatever they maybe, right there is the 'Show advanced options' when you open that then you get the ticks etc for that loan but not before AIUI. Well no, showing advanced options allows you to change them from the defaults (which are ticks everywhere), but those options are set one way or another irrespective, and should be shown on the list, not left blank. Yes, it's a bit confusing having some of them show blank. I can however confirm that the blank ones will still buy on the AM, because I've just recently had my very first AM purchase after a very long wait and it was in one of those for which there are blanks in my AI list due to me not having bothered with going into the advanced options. So, at least you know that's not why you didn't get any purchased shimself.

The blank ones signify that you haven't made any special selections yourself and they're operating on the defaults that we select. The ones with the ticks and crosses are those where you've specifically set the criteria. We could give the same information with another column signifying if you've selected advanced options or not but felt it was cluttered enough.

Would it be possible to have an spreadsheet export of all our loans and auto-investment mandates please?
To include:
Auction Title
Auction Id
Nominal Rate
Actual Rate (e.g. default rate currently in effect)
Term
Type: Interest Only, Repayment, etc
Original Capital lent, or purchased on AM
Outstanding Capital
Accrued Interest
Status: (On Time, Late by x Days, Repaid etc)
Bid Date or Purchase Date
Drawdown Date (so we can calculate our idle time)
Purchase Source: Pre-Bid, Bid, Shadow bid or Aftermarket
Auto-Investment Target
This would enable lenders to analyse the idle time between bidding and interest stating at drawdown.
We could also work out our weighted average return.
Additionally we can monitor our repayments and see which loans are late.
Those of us who are handy with spreadsheets could also see our expected repayments cash-flow.

chris: not so much a suggestion for improvement....unless as I assume its not currently 'doable'. Settling of Shadow Bids: given people 'go away' for periods of time: is it possible to dump money into your account and have a mandate to settle any shadow bids that are called in during a period ? I will be away in not too distant future, and I don't really want to settle all my shadow bids 'on the off chance'. Not least of which 'cos a number of these are on loans which have been through pre-bid status, reversion to 'auction pulled' and conversion to shadow bid, and I have no idea when these might be drawn down.

Probably best to talk to Martin / Dom. I presume they have a plan for dealing with this.

So far I've not really bothered to 'settle' any shad-bids, I just leave the money in the holding a/c. AC seem to raid the account when necessary.

This strategy has legs, unlike your tables......

The ones with the ticks and crosses are those where you've specifically set the criteria. We could give the same information with another column signifying if you've selected advanced options or not but felt it was cluttered enough. But no, the default is ticks all round and <25% and they should be displayed. Blank means not known or thereabouts it doesn't mean Yes, which is in fact the case.

The settings are hidden from view on the page where they matter most and shouldn't be displayed elsewhere. For me that would be more confusing and counter intuitive.

Is there some way that one can see a summary or listing of the aftermarket activity in the previous day or week?
It would be very interesting to see the volume of movements on each loan, especially with a view to judging the liquidity of one's portfolio.
Perhaps the imminent new system has it already, but if not can it be considered for future development?

Do keep reminding me until it, or something similar, appears.
