Ahead of two new loan offerings coming online very soon, we thought we’d remind you of the portfolio service. This is a managed service for larger investors with a minimum of £100,000 to invest.
We will manage your loan portfolio for you and ensure that there is sufficient diversification to reduce risk. When money comes back from borrowers each month, we will reinvest it for you in new loans coming through that meet the parameters that we have agreed with you.
You can choose to reinvest the interest from your loans or to pay it out.
The minimum investment for a Money&Co. Portfolio Service account is £100,000.
If you would like to discuss opening an account, please email support@moneyandco.com or call us on 020 3143 4004.
Money&Co. Podcast: We asked David Buik of London investment bank, Panmure Gordon, Baroness Susan Kramer, who holds the Treasury brief for the Liberal Democrats in the House of Lords, and Money&Co. CEO, Nicola Horlick, for their views of the financial highlights of 2017 and their predictions for 2018. This podcast of over 25 minutes also focuses on the outlook for the UK?s small and medium-sized companies, the lifeblood of the UK economy – and of course the borrowers who find funding for growth via our platform.
Peer-to-peer (P2P) lending is about bringing individuals seeking a good return on capital together with businesses seeking funds to grow. The average gross return achieved by lenders is 8.6 per cent (7.6 per cent net). This compares with 1.3 per cent, which is the best return currently available on cash deposit with a bank or building society, according to comparison sites such as Moneyfacts.

In addition to new loan offerings, our secondary loan market, offering existing loans for sale by lenders, is available to registered Money&Co. users.
All loans can be held, tax-free, in an Innovative Finance Individual Savings Account, or Innovative Finance ISA.
Risk: Security, Access, Yield
Do consider not just the return, but the security and the ease of access to your investment.We write regularly about these three key factors. Here’s an earlier article on security, access and yield.
If you haven’t made a loan via Money&Co. before, please read the risk warnings and the FAQ section. You may also wish to consult a financial adviser before making an investment. Capital is at risk, once loaned.
