Loanify is a peer-to-peer lending fund that gives accredited investors access to high-yield, stable returns traditionally reserved for banks. Schedule a meeting with one of our general partners to learn more.
According to David Swensen's research at the Yale Endowment Fund, extensive studies on various financial markets reveal the average expected return and risk levels over the past 80 years.
Stocks offered an expected return of 10.53% per year with a high standard deviation of 20.33%, while bonds provided a lower return of 5.14% with a standard deviation around 8.37%.
Lending data isn't as easily accessible as traditional market data. To uncover the potential, we analyzed 30 years of 10-K filings from public banks, examining factors like total loan portfolio, interest income, default rates, recovery rates, and provisions for loan losses.
Our findings show an expected return of 10.21% with a much lower standard deviation of 5.75%, indicating that lending can achieve stock-like returns with significantly less risk. This is crucial for the stability of the fractional reserve banking system, where minimizing risk is paramount.
Traditionally, only banks have had access to the lucrative lending markets, using your deposits to earn high returns while sharing minimal profits with you with the low interest on savings accounts.
This model keeps the wealth within the banking sector, leaving individual investors out. By cutting out the middleman, Loanify offers a direct connection between lenders and borrowers, allowing you to tap into the same high returns and stability that banks have been enjoying for decades.
To achieve consistent, high-yield returns with the security banks enjoy, you need a strategic approach built on three core pillars:
Proper Diversification Across Lending Products Diversifying across different lending products ensures stability, providing recession-proof returns by balancing risk across various economic conditions.
Strategic Lending Product Selection for Higher Yields and Lower Risk By selecting the right mix of secured lending products and innovative approaches like accounts receivable financing, we can achieve higher yields while minimizing risk.
Advanced Risk Assessment with Proprietary AI Using cutting-edge artificial intelligence, we go beyond traditional credit assessments to make smarter lending decisions, outperforming even the big banks.
Most people don't realize that income can be generated not only from issuing loans but also from consolidating them. By having exposure to both sides of the market, you can create a more straightforward and diversified portfolio. Unlike companies that focus solely on one side, such as mortgage lending, Loanify takes a balanced approach.
This helps mitigate risk during economic fluctuations, as seen in 2023 when many mortgage companies failed due to rising interest rates. Companies like Sofi and Loan Depot, which diversify by both issuing and consolidating loans, have demonstrated greater resilience. Loanify follows this proven strategy to ensure stability and consistent returns, regardless of market conditions.
Choosing the right lending products is crucial for balancing risk and return. While unsecured lending offers higher returns, it comes with greater risk. Secured lending, backed by actual assets, reduces risk but traditionally offers lower returns.
At Loanify, we bridge this gap by focusing on accounts receivable financing, which combines the higher returns of unsecured lending with the safety of secured assets. Instead of lending for purchases, we advance income that businesses are already earning, providing them access to their funds sooner. This approach delivers high returns while minimizing the risk of default, offering the best of both worlds.
Founded by a team of former Fortune 500 deep learning engineers, Loanify utilizes advanced risk assessment algorithms that surpass traditional methods used by big banks. The overreliance on credit scores limits their ability to accurately assess risk. Our proprietary AI goes further, analyzing various data points to paint a complete picture of a borrower's reliability.
From listening to initial loan officer interactions to scraping the internet for comprehensive data on an individual's financial behavior, and examining detailed payment patterns, our AI creates nuanced risk profiles. This sophisticated approach allows us to make smarter, more informed lending decisions, ensuring higher returns with reduced risk.
At Loanify, our investment strategy is built on a robust framework that allows investors to directly lend money to companies and individuals through a top-down approach:
We strategically allocate capital between lending products that perform well in both market upturns and downturns. This dynamic allocation ensures that we provide recession-proof returns to our investors, adapting as market conditions change.
We focus exclusively on accounts receivable financing. By advancing income that businesses are already earning, we significantly reduce the risk of loss to the overall loan value, creating a more secure investment environment.
Our proprietary deep learning algorithms go beyond traditional credit scoring. By analyzing a wide range of factors, we provide a comprehensive risk profile for each borrower, allowing us to make more informed lending decisions and extend financing to the most reliable candidates.
Overall, our fund offers a way to achieve more diversified, higher-yielding, and consistent returns, even in volatile economic environments.
