Roundup of Social Lending News – June 23, 2012

June 23, 2012 By Peter Renton 3 Comments

Every Saturday I bring you the latest news from the world of peer to peer lending. These are the best of the news articles and blog posts from around the web that I shared on Twitter this past week.

We have another extensive roundup of articles for you this week. I would like to highlight the article by Anil at Random Thoughts. Anil did some quite detailed analysis of the 36-month vs 60-month loans on Lending Club and came to the conclusion that the 60-month loans are already underperforming the traditional 36-month loans. This is essential reading for any Lending Club investor, particularly those with a concentration of the 60-month loans. Enjoy your weekend.

    Thanks for the prop, Peter. I just wanted to add that I will have couple of more posts this coming week on Loan Length and relationship with Interest Rate, Credit Grade, and Defaults. These posts will highlight the quirkiness the loan length causes in loan selection for lenders and lesson learnt for lenders as Lending Club.

    Thanks.

    Anil
