Is there any possibility of Wisealpha introducing a pipleline, or at least giving investors an idea of any new investments that might be on the horizon?

or an email when new investment gets launched. I've received email notification previously. The last was for "Travelex 8.0% Senior Secured Bonds Maturing August 2018" on 13/12/16. If you've signed up prior to that date and not received the email, it's probably worth dropping support@wisealpha.com a query. cheers, Ian.. thanks better have been signed up while never got one but I check the site every so often.

Hi @wisealpha (Can't get that to tag. Give up.)
I see the existing 'notes' are being run down. What's the business outlook at Wisealpha for the year ahead? Any timetable for rolling out the secondary market?

Hi Guys,
Sorry I missed the previous posts - thanks for the tag P2P. We've been a bit tied up in getting the new version of the site ready (hopefully mid next week it will come out) but will also be launching a short duration 1 year investment bond as well. We've been waiting for prices to settle as well so should have more bonds coming on soon too (plus we wanted to shift a little more of some of the bonds we hold already). We'll notify investors of all the updates from next week and you can let us know your thoughts.
Kind regards,
WiseAlpha

Hi Guys,
We've just launched our new site - would be great to hear what people think. There is likely to be one more version in the future (that one we think will be amazing) but for now I hope you find the main site a little more uplifting with the new branding and easier to read. We've also launched a one year WiseAlpha Investment bond with an 8.0% coupon. This will invest in the same bonds we list on the site and also help increase the rate of loan and bond purchasing we do on the site and hence the opportunities available to investors. At the same time it gives investors the upper end of the 5-8% coupons the asset class offers for a short duration of time.
In terms of near term pipeline we are looking to bring on Domestic & General and potentially Iceland bonds as well. Look out for those next week.
Kind regards,
WiseAlpha

Hi wisealphateamSo is the new 8% bond a loan to Wisealpha, like a retail mini-bond and thus more dependant on the operating success of Wisealpha, or could it be directly affected by underlying performance of issued notes (as in a complete default). In other words, where is our risk concentrated? What about secondary market plans? Although I understand that we can sell out at par by arrrangement, there is still no 'sell' button and thus no real secondary market. A full up-and-running liquid secondary market is probably a must for many potential investors.

Hi Kaya, The WiseAlpha Investment Bond is a bond issued by a newly formed lending company. It's structured like a retail mini-bond except the company has no operational cost because it uses the WiseAlpha platform to transact so the underlying risk is effectively on a portfolio of fixed income investments that are predominantly the same as those that are listed on the WiseAlpha platform. There are full details and T&Cs located here: www.wisealpha.com/loan/detail/26/wise1 It's similar in concept to how a bank issues savings bonds in order to finance it's lending but here obviously these are investment bonds (so capital is at risk but obviously a higher rate of interest). This new WiseAlpha Investment Bond will actually help us to do a full roll out of the secondary market because the liquidity there can also be used to buy from users looking to sell their exposure. Kind regards,

Hi, yes that's right no annual platform service fee (1% for other bonds) but 0.25% Sale fee before 1 year. Since it's the first one it's an introductory offer. Going forward if we issue new tranches of the bond, rates on shorter duration like one year will go down and 5 year will remain at 8%.

Looks like the Iceland bond has been put on the site now. More than half of the 200k seem to be gone though already.
