Someone asked a question in another thread to check if anyone had checked xirr returns on zopa plus. p2pindependentforum.com/post/155513/threadSo I thought this might be interesting to try this, trouble is there are a number of people using xirr across the platforms but none are actually showing how one might do this. I thought the best way might be to just check the outlay against the returns using excel but the issue I am having is knowing how to collect and represent the right info. I tried the following example 1 17/08/2016 £1040 Initial investment 07/11/2016 £480 Further investment 12/12/2016 -£1548.17 value today (12/12) 7.62% xirr result example 2 13/05/2016 £1010 Initial investment 12/12/2016 -£1383.11 value today (12/12) 71.38% xirr result Both these example are real values but surely 71.38% on the second one is incorrect. I must be doing something wrong, any ideas anyone. The values I used were totals from the CSV files from mine and my OH account.

In the 2nd one aju it looks like you've made £373 in 7 months on a £1k investment, which means the 71% looks about right! It must be including new customer/ referral bonuses? If you add referral bonuses manually in excel as a 'further investment' on the day you get them it can help get around this.

All my returns are fully re-invested back into the same products, classic being also topped up pre-safeguard items as well.
In the above all I have taken is the values in the all time loanbook for PLUS and I assume that the values included the .5% bonus I received as well but now I'm not so sure as the loanbook has the interest set at zopa rate, the bonus I think is added afterwards although its a bit difficult to check this is the case.
I'm still trying to get a handle on the values and I think the xirr is based on full years so not sure about the figures as its just 7 months not a full year.
I'm a little unsure as the only thing that I have made in real terms is the interest and that is only coming out at 53.12 which is nearer 5.12% so I guess simply assuming the same for the next 5 months ( 5.12% / 7 *12 = 8.78%).

If you look at the statement - then the 0.5% bonus is listed separately, so will be included in the balance but not in the interest figure.
