P2P Managed Portfolio Service: Amid Complexity, Clarity

PetriDishes

Managing money is undoubtedly a complicated business. Money management is a whole sub-sector of financial services dedicated to getting the best value for capital invested. All the while, the money managers have to use their best efforts to keep investors’ capital safe. The universal, financial truth asserts itself again: there is no profit without risk.

All investment managers are overseen by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which interests itself specifically in the safeguarding aspects of the process – transparency, clarity of process, demarcation of funds, etc. The FCA also gives permissions to certain peer-to-peer (P2P) platforms to offer loans and wrap them into the tax-efficient device of an Individual Savings Account (ISA). Money&Co. was amongst the first P2P lending platforms to get such a permission.

What makes us special – we think perhaps unique – in the P2P crowdfunding sector is that our management company also has fund-management authorisation from the FCA. This means our lenders don’t necessarily have to “do it themselves”. With most P2P platforms, lenders come to the site and select the pre-vetted loans. Then they make their own choice, and lend.

At Money&Co., we offer the option for lenders with £100,000 or more to lend via a managed portfolio service. This is no DIY product – we take the capital and spread it across our loan book, diversifying to mitigate risk (remember: capital loaned is by definition at risk – no matter how carefully we vet the borrowing companies).

There’s a video that explains the portfolio service on site. We run a testimony, repeated here, from a satisfied lender, Edward, a lawyer: “The Money&Co. Portfolio Service allows me to lend my money with ease. The experienced team manages everything whilst giving me total access and visibility through my account.”
