Vested Edge Quarterly Report

At Vested, our mission is to empower you to become a successful investor. Before embarking on any investment strategy, you should carefully consider the risks of the strategy based on your own investment objectives and financial situation. 

As such, we publish a quarterly report on Vested Edge for all our investors. The information provided here aims to bring you transparency on our P2P-NBFC partners, the end borrowers of your investments and describes factors that could affect the risk profile of your investment.

Borrower profiles

Your investments are further distributed across various loan categories and sectors to reduce risk exposure.

Loan Category

Loan category data as of Dec 2023

  • Self-employed borrowers are primarily small businesses that have demonstrated steady cash flows that reduce the risk of default.
  • Salaried borrowers are creditworthy customers who borrow for delayed bill payments, zero-cost EMIs, or small personal loans. Zero-cost EMIs are generally opted for by customers who have set up mandates with their bank to ensure monthly payments are made on time.
Loan Sectors

Loans are distributed to creditworthy individuals to reduce the risk of default. A low average tenure for the loans also ensures more liquidity to manage risk better. 

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 NPAs. The NPA metric indicates the amount defaulted for the month (as a percentage of total investments).
  • Average gross returns – The average gross returns is the average rate of return the partner earns from loans lent out to borrowers.
  • Average Investor Returns – The average investor returns is the average rate of return 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 and is calculated as:

Margin of Safety = Average Gross 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.

Our partners will always ensure your claim to the interest earned on your investments is honored before their claim to any revenue on the same investment.

Withdrawals Honored

Our partners honor withdrawals within two business days from the Liquid Plan.

Past Withdrawals Honored as of Dec 2023
