Borrower category data for Sep 2023

  • Self-employed borrowers are primarily small businesses that have demonstrated steady cash flows that reduce the risk of default.

Margin of Safety

The Margin of Safety metric serves as an indicator of the risk to your investment. To understand the metric, we need to define the following terms:
  • Non-performing assets (NPA) – P2P loans that default from the borrowers (i.e., payments for these loans have not been made for more than 90 days after the loan tenure) are considered as NPAs. The NPA metric here indicates the amount defaulted for the month (as a percentage of total investments for the month).
  • Total returns – The total returns are the returns the partner has earned each month from loans that have been lent out to borrowers.
  • Average Investor Returns – The investor returns are the average returns that have been delivered to investors on each platform.
The Margin of Safety denotes the cushion for NPAs that each platform can bear before the NPAs start impacting Investor returns, as is calculated as:

Margin of Safety = Total Returns – Current NPA – Average Investor Returns

The above equation implies that you will earn the expected returns from your investments if NPAs don’t additionally increase by the Margin of Safety. Your principal amount is safe if NPAs don’t increase further by the Average Investor Returns.
