PEER TO PEER LENDING CROSSES $1 BILLION


Why Peer-to-Peer Lending is Becoming so Popular
Both Lending Club and Prosper continue to see impressive growth as shown in this chart. What is behind this rapid growth?

1. Investors can earn double-digit returns


After several years of low interest rates investors are actively seeking alternatives. Peer to peer lending offers returns in the 6-10% range and the possibility of even earning more than 10%. While there are risks most investors are earning far more at Lending Club and Prosper than they are in traditional fixed income investments.

2. Institutional investors are moving in


Last year institutional investors started moving serious money into both Lending Club and Prosper. There is now over $100 million in institutional money invested at Lending Club and that number is growing all the time. Prosper has several large institutional investors including one who has invested close to $30 million and pledged another $120 million in coming years.

3. Consumers want to get out of credit card debt


By far the most common type of loan on both Lending Club and Prosper is debt consolidation. People are trying to dig themselves out of credit card debt where rates can routinely climb north of 25% if a borrower misses a payment. Someone with decent credit can get a 36month peer-to-peer loan at 12%, pay off their high interest credit cards and become free of credit card debt in three years. It is a win-win for the borrower and the investors who loan the money.

4. Banks are still not lending freely


It is not news that bank credit remains tight. Personal loans are very difficult to obtain and the popular form of borrowing last decade the home equity loan was killed by the financial crisis. Small businesses are also feeling the pinch so business owners continue to look for alternative means of financing.

5. The industry is gaining credibility


When one of the titans of Wall Street joins the board of a p2p lender, as John Mack (former CEO of Morgan Stanley) did recently at Lending Club, it provides a level of credibility that wasnt there before. Prosper also announced this year that long time Goldman Sachs executive Eric Schwartz has joined their board. No longer could people write off p2p lending as a passing trend. Peer to peer lending is an idea whose time has come. Its rapid growth as it moves past $1 billion in originations reflects that. It provides advantages for both borrowers and lenders, more so now than ever before. Peer to peer lending is only just getting started so dont be surprised if the $2 billion mark is crossed very quickly, probably within the next 12 months.

LOOKING FOR 10% YIELDS? GO ONLINE FOR PEER TO PEER LENDING


The following story appears in the June 25, 2012 Investment Guide issue of Forbes magazine.

CHRIS BARTH , FORBES STAFF

Years ago clipping coupons from bonds was the province and passion of people in retirement. Today a tidal wave of aging boomers want income, but traditional sources are lacking. Ten-year Treasurys yield 1.6%. Safe-money bank CDs? 0.5%. Investment-grade corporate bonds are delivering 3.2%. So coupon clippers are seeking alternatives. Thats why dividend stocks and annuities are all the rage. But theres another neat source of high yield that relatively few consider. Peer-to-peer lending, or making personal loans via the Internet using websites like LendingClub.com and Prosper.com. After six years of experience and some bumps, including a financial crisis and ensuing recession, peer-to-peer (P2P) lending has finally earned its place on an income investors menu. The basic premise of these bank disintermediaries is that they harness the networking power of the Web to match people who have excess cash with people in need of it or those who simply want to refinance credit card debt. The key to its success has been how the sites have managed the inherent riskiness of unsecured personal loans. Believe it or not, it is now possible to earn yields of 6% or more, making relatively safe loans to complete strangers. Los Angeles financial advisor Brendan Ross committed $300,000 of his own money to Lending Club in early 2011. Based on his quarterly interest payments he claims he has accrued about $40,000 in income to date. Annual yield: 10.2%. Id been tracking the P2P space pretty much since inception, Ross says. I was waiting to feel like its loan underwriting model had matured. San Franciscos Lending Club is the largest P2P lender, followed by its crosstown rival Prosper. There are also a host of microlending sites, but their loans are generally low-rate or non-interest-bearing, as they go to people in emerging economies. Lending Club and Prosper have loaned a total of more than $1 billion since inception, in 112,000 loans. Lending Club currently issues about $45 million in loans a month versus Prospers $13 million per month. Prosper ran afoul of the SEC in 2008 and temporarily shut down to revamp its risk-assessment model. At Lending Club, after a quick registration you can sort through hundreds of potential loans. Each loan has its own risk rating, term (either 36 or 60 months) and rate of return. Loans with the highest ratingbased on the borrowers FICO score and some proprietary analysispay in the 5% to 9% rangeabout the same as junk bonds. Interest rates on riskier loans range as high as 31%. Both companies also offer diversified funds of aggregated loans and IRA options. Lending Club and Prosper vet thousands of loan applications, whittling down the pool to only those borrowers the company deems least likely to default. Renaud Laplanche, cofounder and CEO of Lending Club. says his firm declines about 90% of all borrower applications, focusing on the 10% of borrowers with the best credit. Of course defaults happen. Lending Clubs top-rated three-year loans expect a default rate of around 1.4%, and the riskiest loans, offering rates as high as 25%, have a 9.8% default rate. By contrast junk bonds have an average default rate of 1.9%. Its prudent to opt for the pools of hundreds of P2P loans both sites offer. Thats how advisor Ross is earning 10%, despite a handful of defaults on direct loans he made. Indeed, Lending Clubs website prominently features the statistic that investors who have at least $20,000 spread over 800-plus loans have never lost a dollar of their initial capital. John Mack, former chairman of Morgan Stanley, is a convert to P2P lending. After committing several million of his own capital to such loans, he joined Lending Clubs board in April. Says Mack: Three-year Treasurys are about 40 basis points. Lending Clubs more conservative fundthree years, amortizing quarterlyis about 7%. Given where short-term rates are today, theres a real opportunity here.
