Key Account Information
30 Day Access Account

We have designed the 30DAA to provide simple access to your cash with just 30 days' notice (in normal market conditions). The 30DAA is part of the overall Access Accounts (AA). We do not impose any minimum term before you can serve notice in this investment account and make no charge if you request withdrawal of your cash. Following the 30 day period, transferring funds between Assetz Capital Investment Accounts should be possible within seconds, while complete withdrawal of funds from our platform should happen within two working days, although access times cannot be guaranteed. Unlike some of our other Investment Accounts we maintain a level of cash within the Access Accounts to satisfy withdrawal demand. The Access Accounts are designed to automatically adapt to market conditions and levels of cash within the accounts. For more information about how this works and the amount of liquidity you can expect click here.

We will publish the recent 30DAA access speed regularly and have processed well over £1bn of withdrawal requests since the Access Accounts launched.

Withdrawal Instructions from this account will be set at par value (0% discount). However, investors also have the option to transfer their loan holdings which have served their notice period to the Quick Access Account (QAA). Then, if desired they can apply a discount to those QAA loan holdings which may potentially speed up their withdrawal, depending on demand from other investors. For more information see ‘Using the Access Account Marketplace’ section.

Series 1 of the 30DAA has a capped, target lender return which is currently 4.00% p.a. gross (before tax and any losses and protected by a discretionary Provision Fund). This cap may vary from time to time, but we will never reduce the capped, target interest rate below 4.00% a year (before tax and any losses) in this account Series.

Please note that you could receive less than this rate of return if the 30DAA's Provision Fund were exhausted and then loans were to default or borrowers were no longer able to repay their loans.

The minimum investment in the 30DAA is £1 and there is no maximum, subject to account availability.

Typically, the 30DAA may contain short-term secured business loans of one month through to five-year loans. Hence, loans included within this account should typically be due to repay between one month and five years.

All secured business and property development loans that are approved by Assetz Capital may be held within the 30DAA. Should you choose to invest in this account, your investment will be used only to fund loans that have received our credit approval, will be diversified across a range of secured business loans and will also be protected by a discretionary Provision Fund. Please also see Asset Security below.

Your investment will be actively reinvested into new loans upon receipt of capital, until your withdrawal request has been fulfilled.

The 30DAA auto-diversifies the funds you allocate to it across many matching loans at any given time, subject to availability. This spreads your risk across the widest possible range of loans that we have available in the account.

When changing your investment level in your account, the 30DAA will aim to automatically balance your loans, so as to maintain the maximum diversification that it can achieve.

Interest from loans is calculated on a continuous basis and usually paid into your account on the first day of each month. You will also receive capital repayments from time to time, based on loans' contracted repayment dates (their due dates for repayment). Capital repayments will automatically be reinvested wherever possible, but you have the option to choose to either re-invest or withdraw any interest payments received (see below).

Within your Loan Dashboard, you can choose to set your account to automatically re-invest interest payments back into your 30DAA (if it is still open for new investments and subject to the cap per lender). Investments into the Access Accounts now operate via the Access Account Marketplace. This means that all new investments, including reinvestment of interest will take advantage of the biggest available discount to loan holdings in the Access Accounts. You also have the option to set a target minimum discount to reinvest your interest. Please see the ‘Using the Access Account Marketplace’ section for more information.

Alternatively, you can transfer these interest payments to your Cash Account for withdrawal or investment into other loans or Investment Accounts.

All 30DAA investments benefit from automatic inclusion in a separate, discretionary Provision Fund intended to help to protect investors from income delays or income and/or capital losses within the 30DAA.

The Provision Fund that protects this account seeks to protect against any potential capital losses if, in the event of a loan default, the security taken on that loan does not cover the outstanding balance due on that loan.

In order to provide additional protection to our clients’ investments, at Assetz Capital we always take realisable asset security on all our loans. This security takes the form of charges over property, equipment, or other assets professionally valued to be worth more than the value of the loan. Within the loan details, we will quote a Loan to Value (LTV) (or Loan to Gross Development Value (LTGDV) for construction/development loans) in order to provide investors with an indication of the loan value versus the eventual expected security value.

The value of security can vary across the lifetime of a loan. This may be through ordinary course of business during the natural course of a development/construction project or it could be where security is lost or harmed. Details of security taken are provided in each credit report and, wherever possible, any third-party independent valuations are also provided.

In the case of a development loan/construction project we will provide details of the loan to value when the loan is initially drawn and the forecast end loan to value post completion of all work. The transition of value throughout a development is not, however, linear and will vary according to the development and is also reliant upon continued funding of the development each month. As such, the loan to value during the course of a development/construction project may exceed the maximum opening and closing values quoted.

In the event of a loan failing to repay in full this security can be called upon to settle the outstanding balance of the loan, providing a far greater chance of a full recovery in contrast to lightly secured loans protected by just a personal guarantee, or completely unsecured loans.

This security and the above-mentioned Provision Fund is intended to help reduce the potential for investor losses.

The Access Account Marketplace automatically matches those investors looking to buy loan holdings with those looking to sell, by setting ‘Invest’ and ‘Withdrawal’ Instructions.

Investors can sell all, or a proportion, of their 30DAA holdings via our Access Account Marketplace, subject to demand from other investors at that time and also subject to the loans being either tradeable or having their expected loss (if any) being fully ringfenced in the Provision Fund. By setting a withdrawal instruction, the marketplace will seek to withdraw loan holdings from the 30DAA at par value (0% discount).

However, investors also have the option to offer a discount to their loan holdings, should they wish to do so, as this may create a quicker withdrawal (subject to demand from other investors at the chosen discount). To use the discounting functionality, investors must transfer the loan holdings they wish to withdraw to the Quick Access Account (QAA) once the 30 days’ notice has been served. It is then possible to create withdrawal instruction and optionally apply a discount. Please note that funds transferred to the QAA will earn the QAA target rate until the withdrawal at a discount can be matched to an investor and processed.

For those looking to invest in the 30DAA, by default, the marketplace will seek to invest at the best available discount, or at par value if there are no discounts available. However, if desired investors have option to set a minimum target discount invest instruction which will be automatically matched with sell instructions that meet their criteria. It’s important to remember if you choose to invest at a discount, some or all of your funds will not be invested and become interest bearing until a matching withdrawal instruction is found.

Via your Loan Dashboard, all of your Assetz Capital investments can be tracked, monitored and managed through our comprehensive and market-leading portal.

In addition, you can invest directly in the underlying loans that the 30DAA invests in, subject to the availability of these loans in the Aftermarket, but without the protection of the Provision Fund. You can do this by using the Manual Lending Account (MLA) and directly selecting these individual investments. Without the protection of the Provision Fund, these manually selected loans may deliver higher or lower net returns after any losses than the 30DAA.

With effect from 1st May 2021, the Withdrawal Fee of 1% per annum, or the equivalent of 0.083% per month will apply to investors making withdrawals from the Access Accounts but only on the amounts which are awaiting withdrawal and only when the accounts are not operating within Normal Market Conditions. The fee only applies to the value of tradable loans that are being sold and withdrawn and is time-weighted, so investors will only be charged for the time they are actively withdrawing eligible funds. Please click here for full details.

The 30DAA will be open for an undefined period. However, at some point, the Account Series may be closed for investment and, therefore, all capital and interest received back on loans within this Account will be repaid to your cash account or to another Account of your choice over time, as the underlying loans repay. If any material changes are required to these Terms, a new 30DAA Series may be issued in the future, but this would not affect your current investments in a previous Series.

“Normal market conditions” means economic conditions are reasonably stable, our lenders are making withdrawals from the ‘Access Accounts’ (Quick Access, 30 Day Access & 90 Day Access Accounts) in the normal course of business and other lenders are willing and able to buy their loan units through those accounts and others that we offer. Our Access Accounts may hold a certain amount of cash “liquid” to help increase the liquidity of withdrawal requests above and beyond normal market supply and demand. In Normal Market Conditions, withdrawals from the Access Accounts to a lender’s Cash Account are completed within one business day at a 0% discount.

However, past performance doesn’t guarantee future performance and abnormal market conditions could possibly change the speed of withdrawals. Abnormal market conditions would typically arise from a very large, sudden and extended demand to withdraw cash from the Access Accounts. This might be caused by a global recession, a pandemic, an abrupt and widespread loss of faith in peer-to-peer lending or a number of other situations. Therefore if a significant number of lenders chose to withdraw their cash in significant quantities and no (or few) new lenders were available to buy their loan parts, conditions would at that point become abnormal and the Access Accounts would not be then able to maintain their standard speed of access for withdrawals.

Ultimately this could mean that lenders may have to wait until a buyer could be found for their loans held within the Access Accounts, or until the loans were repaid over time by the borrowers (through monthly repayments made by borrowers or by loans naturally reaching the end of their term for full repayment). The repayment of loans should continue to create some capital which would be available for withdrawal by investors regardless of market conditions being abnormal.

This is the reason that we quote the “in normal market conditions” message everywhere that we refer to Access Account withdrawal times; we can’t guarantee access times in all possible economic scenarios and we want our lenders to understand that.
