Understanding the platform average net return and the general health of the full loan book helps you to appreciate rebuildingsociety.com's performance in the context of other P2P lending platforms and other forms of investment. The average figure is also a useful point of reference to evaluate your individual net return figure, which is visible on your lender dashboard.
During September 2020 we funded no new public loans; the total number of public loans made via rebuildingsociety.com since its inception stands at 271 and the total amount loaned to SMEs stands at £15,393,880.
We had no new defaults and no new refactors in September 2020.
The total capital still out on all loans totals £2,314,286 - only 5.46% of this is currently in default.
During the month of September, we received £55,235 in capital repayments and £40,185 in interest payments on public loans.
The net recoveries position was £9,519 recovered from default.
This led to an overall profit of £42,898 for lenders or an annualised return rate of 21.57%;
September was an above average month in terms of profit and above average for our platform.
We keep a rolling 12-month return figure to track profits over the last year; this month's performance brings that to 5.08%.
We also track the net return rate for the lifetime of the company; as you can imagine this figure remains fairly consistent and currently sits at 6.65% net return per year.
In September, we did not add any new loans to the Primary Marketplace, as none of the applications we received passed our stringent Credit Risk Review. We don't want our lenders to fund loans which are too risky, and which may not be repaid.
As a team we are working hard to keep in contact with our existing borrowers, establish how their businesses are being affected by the current economic impact and where possible offer assistance. This assistance is being offered in the form of short repayment holidays or interest-only repayments. Amendments such as these to existing repayment schedules are only being granted where a borrower has specifically requested assistance and complied with a number of our requirements. We've also been actively assisting businesses to gain access to the numerous government initiatives to support UK businesses.
As a platform we are continuing to lend, but have significantly amended our credit risk processes to account for the current risks affecting businesses.

Notes on the methodology:
This data is generated from algorithms that look at a set of standard rules to classify payments as interest, capital, or recoveries as well as loans as performing, defaulting, or bad debt. This is subject to change, so it may not always match our manual changes to loan status or repayments. This helps to keep the data impartial and consistent, unaffected by human bias or expectation. This data refers to platform average data; individual user data and investment performance may differ according to varying lending strategies and behaviour.
We treat all the users as one ‘Superuser’ that all transactions from public loans are applied to; we exclude private loans and treat refactored loans as a single loan.
More information about how we calculate Net Returns is available in our Lender Education section.
