All interest rates are calculated up until the repayment date and expressed as annual figures. Interest rates are calculated based on the following formula: Residual amount invested x Interest rate (%) / 360 x Period of investment.

Net annualized return (NAR) is an annualized measure of the rate of return on actual investments made in loans, after actual write-offs and service charges. NAR is not a forward-looking projection of performance. NAR is only calculated for the amount of money invested in loans. Please note that funds that are not invested in loans are not included in NAR calculations.

To calculate NAR, the methodology called XIRR (Extended Internal Rate of Return) is used. Extended Internal Rate of Return (XIRR) is a method to calculate returns from investments done at different periods. To calculate XIRR we apply Excel formula. XIRR formula in Excel is =XIRR (values, dates, [guess]). Values represent the transaction amounts, dates are the transaction dates and guess is the approximate return.

Interest rate shows the weighted average interest rate for all the investments you have made.

You can find the Tax Report download button on your Profile page, on the Tax Report section. Please, select the range you want your report to include and download as a PDF document.

Assuming the borrower pays according to the loan schedule and the repayment is done on time, the investors will receive the funds to their investor account on a day following the scheduled repayment date. The interest is calculated up until the repayment date.

A Buyback Guarantee is a guarantee from the Loan Originator to the lender for a particular loan to buy back the loans that are more than 60 days overdue from their original due date at the nominal value of the outstanding principal, plus accrued interest income. All loans at Lendermarket come with a Buyback Guarantee.

The term “skin in the game” is commonly used in the finance industry. It refers to a situation when an owner(s) or principals of an investment vehicle maintain an equity stake in circumstances where outside investors are solicited to invest. This is to ensure the interests of the originator of the asset are aligned with the interests of the investor, as both sides have a stake in the investment.
All loan originators that place loans on Lendermarket are required to keep a certain percentage of each loan. For example, if a loan originator keeps 10% skin in the game, then 90% will be available for investors to invest in.

You can see the payment schedule for each loan under the section "Payment Schedule".

As with all investment opportunities, there are risks involved. Lendermarket has taken the following measures to mitigate the risk for investors, among others:

• 1. Before being accepted to the platform, Lendermarket conducts due diligence of the loan originator. This includes review of the underwriting process (i.e. how the loan originator assesses the risk of the borrower's ability to repay), key financial metrics, review of owner and management information, including criminal conviction records.
• 2. The contract between Lendermarket and the loan originators has certain financial and other covenants, which ensures that the risk associated to lending does not unexpectedly deteriorate from what is expected from the loan originator. Loan originators are required to provide financial reports to Lendermarket on a quarterly basis.
• 3. In certain cases, additional security may be in place. This may include a receivable pledge, or a bank account used to service the borrowers. The purpose of a pledge is to secure the fulfilment of a contract or the payment of a debt. The enforcement of a pledge gives the pledgee the right to take control of the underlying cash flows.
• 4. All loans offered for investment on Lendermarket come with a buyback guarantee, which means that the loan originator will buy back the loans that are more than 60 days overdue from their original due date. The loan originator repurchases the investment for the nominal value of the principal and interest accrued up to the date of repurchase.

The security of your information and private data is a priority for us. Lendermarket deploys organized data storage following the highest security standards and legislation.

For security reasons and to comply with data protection laws, we do not reveal any personal data of the borrowers.

In the event the borrower does not pay, the loan originator will pay you back the principal amount and accrued interest, thereby eliminating the risk of you losing your money.

When the borrower repays the loan before the scheduled term, your earned amount will be calculated according to the actual loan repayment date and transferred to your investor’s account.
