The Assetz Capital platform is no longer open to investment from individual investors. No new investments into peer-to-peer loans are possible and, as a result, no new funds should be deposited. The existing loan book relating to the Retail platform is now in run-off and this will, over time, deliver the return of capital to investors. Full information can be found here . Existing Retail lenders can still log in, view information regarding their account and loan holdings and operate their account in accordance with the information regarding the run-off provided on the link above.

Rate increase on key account pulls in £10m worth of new investments in just three weeks

Rate increase on key account pulls in £10m worth of new investments in just three weeks

Since the rate increase went live on 13 April, investors have had access to a target, capped return of 4.75% per annum gross (before allowances for tax or any possible losses) and still have until midday on 11 May to take advantage of the new rate. Investments in the 30 Day Access Account made before this date will benefit from the increased target rate for up to 90 days.

Our CEO, Stuart Law, commented, “Due to strong borrower demand we decided to temporarily raise the target rate on our 30-Day Access Account.  This has gone against the grain in a period where many P2P platforms have been dropping rates. It's been a roaring success as new investment in peer-to-peer loans has flowed into the account."

The 30-Day Access Account allows lenders to invest automatically in both short and long-term loans and interest is earned and paid monthly. Many investors choose to invest for the long term in these accounts but like the prospect of relatively easy access in normal market conditions, although we make it clear that access times cannot be guaranteed. The 30-Day Access Account always retains substantial cash balances in order to facilitate access for investors who want to liquidate their investment after the 30 days notice period. Over £200m of withdrawals have been facilitated since launch across all of the Access Accounts and all those have been delivered on the expected time and date - although past success definitely is not a guarantee of future performance.

Investors can automatically invest any amount from £1 in a diverse portfolio of secured business loans that have passed Assetz Capital’s strict credit checks.

Stuart concluded: “The start of 2017 has been an incredibly successful one for Assetz Capital and both our investor and borrower demand is increasing exponentially. We expect to facilitate £250-350m worth of lending this financial year and will be funding £30-40m per month shortly."

Assetz Capital has over 19,000 registered investors and to-date over £245m has flown through the platform, earning investors total gross loan interest of over £21m.
