After taking a dip in April, originations picked up again in May. As discussed over the last two months, Bondora made the conscious decision to focus on Estonian loan originations in an effort to keep the platform sustainable throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. This also means no new originations were made via Go & Grow in May, and will not be made until partial payouts are no longer active. But, this opens up the opportunity for our other products, Portfolio Manager, Portfolio Pro, and API, to take a bigger total share. Read on to see a detailed breakdown of the share of funding on the Bondora platform for May 2020.
Funding for May, excluding Go & Grow, totaled €2,221,201, which is up by 8.2% compared to April. All 3 product categories grew in funding on the month. Interestingly, API saw the biggest increase, rising by a whopping 37.1% to €162,392.
Portfolio Manager’s share continues to climb, from 40% in April to 43% of the total in May. Portfolio Pro’s share on the other hand decreased slightly from 54% to 50% of the total. API’s share continues its upward growth from the last few months, increasing to 7% of the total. These products are typically favored by our more active investors who like to be hands on and have more control over the specific investments in their portfolio.
