I'm being allocated £50-£400 for each autoinvest loan despite a max pledge size of nearly 10k. I haven't added any cash for 2 years. Nearly a third uninvested and cash drag will keep increasing at this rate. Not happy and seeing others have same issue I think I'll transfer out most of the cash. Where else are long time CP lenders in? If your happy to lend large amounts per loan in property secured loans then HNW Lending (£10k min, or £5k in ISA) or SoMo (£5k min) might be worth a look. I'm happy enough with both, but not been with either for very long yet. Also CapitalStackers (£5k min) look good, but I haven't tried them yet. For £1k minimums, CapitalRise, Proplendand and Landlordinvest are working well for me. I also like Blend for £1k min, but they seriously need to address their autolend before I return to them. For lower minimums Kuflink are a direct CP competitor that I'm happy enough with, but I would rate them below CP for many reasons, not least because they charge the borrower much more and give us a bit less on comparable loans. I'm managing to keep near fully invested in CP with a mid 5-figure sum. I do pledge manually occasionally when I have larger repayments, which is becoming more difficult now that so many loans are autoinvest only. For second charge, so higher risk and reward loans, ABLrate seem to be increasing their property development loans. At the other end of the risk/reward scale are Loanpad, who I rate very highly, and have the advantage of instant deployment. Plenty to chew on there!

I got 14.46% of my maximum pledge size in today's Manchester loan. I even managed a manual pledge as well.

Yes surprisingly high- if this had been in line with recent loans, excluding "Autoinvest Only" it would have been 11-12% It is a lower risk loan being completion of a project. The previous CP lenders are all being repaid with interest from this completion loan. 7.8% interest. What's not to like? On the other hand, the recent comparators at this loan size or larger are fairly sparse, so it might just be normal statistical variation. Or perhaps more was allocated to autoinvest on this one.

I also got 14.5% - rather higher than usual - it was for a £900k raise but £750k was already invested and will be repaid.

I am finding it impossible to stay fully invested on CP. My cash balance just keeps increasing despite being auto invested in every loan , a few of which I would prefer not to invest in. My cash balance is approx 20% now and climbing. There seems to be far fewer loans being listed and more big players investing. Not quite sure where this is going to end up.

My accounts seem to have reached a steady state of being almost fully invested now. I currently have only 1% unallocated cash. Only 25% (+ interest) is due to be repaid in the next 6 months, so I'm hopeful it will stay that way for a while. I do make the odd manual investment if the cash builds up too high, but this wouldn't work for smaller accounts as it requires a £500 minimum pledge.

I have also managed to keep a good level of investment -again by using manual bidding on occasions. I autoinvest on most loans but try to keep a good spread of projects/borrowers so miss out on some. All platforms seem to have more cash/investors than borrowers soit is difficult tokeep fully invested. I have found it particularly so with Blend and also, for quite a long time now with AC (where I am disinvesting).

Hi all,
I'm thinking of joining CP.
Is it understood how the autoinvest algorithm works? It seems to mainly split evenly by £ (rather than by %) with normally a minimum £50, and sometimes a small bump for those with higher set autoinvest amounts? Is that right?
Also, once you've got £500 invested, do you need to keep £500 in to keep using autoinvest, or would that be unnecessary?
Thanks

Also, once you've got £500 invested, do you need to keep £500 in to keep using autoinvest, or would that be unnecessary? Thanks Yes, it's understood. When loans are oversubscribed, like they all are nowadays, you get allocated a percentage of your maximum pledge size with a minimum allocation of £50. Sometimes the loan isn't big enough to give all auto investors a minimum of £50, so that limit has to be lowered to say £40. If you invest £500 in autoinvest to get started you would be limited to £100 for your maximum pledge size (20% of your autoinvest total). Given that the percentage of maximum pledge allocated to most loans is in the single digits of percent, most of your allocations would be determined by the minimum allocation, so usually £50. You don't get any allocation unless you have at least £50 of unallocated cash assigned to autolend. So no, there's no need to keep a minimum of £500 available to keep using autoinvest. You only need to keep £50 available.

Thanks for this - very helpful as always.
So for a regular sized loan everyody gets £50 and then anything remaining amount gets split in proportion to pledge size? So like UB?

Yes, pretty similar to Unbolted, except many loans on CP also have an allocation for manual investors. Manual investors have to invest a minimum of £500. Since the manual allocations are also in high demand, there is usually a £1k or £2k maximum limit for manual allocations.
