less of a risk than shares, very small amounts in several loans, so spreading my investments as much as i can in this area,  I think you should be aware that p2p is very risky compared to buying and holding shares for the long term. The riskiest part isn't the loans, it's the possibility of the p2p platform going out of business. and part of the reason P2P is only about 5% of my invstment

I still can't get my head straight on investing in saving stream, currently have a lot of money in there. Had one months interest come through which is nice and appealing but I dont like losing £1 let alone a £15k plus

Sooner or later you WILL have a loss somewhere - the only question is when/where/how much. Past performance is no guarantee of future etc etc

But as with everything the economy could crash and nobody wants the gin palace you have invested in
