Yesterday's Investor's Chronicle has an article on investment trusts (currently 4 available) as a "lower risk" means of investing in P2P loans. I'm not convinced - perhaps they can do better due diligence, but a lots of the risks can be addressed by diversification, but the current premiums on their share prices means that in the case of a high profile failure in the market losses will be magnified by the unrolling of premiums. (Of course, the way for us to boost returns on P2P is to set up our own investment trust, and sell the shares into a stock market hungry for yield.)
