LC financed:  0.05%

Derived from data on page 52.



I had read about the Springstone acquisition, but had not heard about all of these details:

Springstone Acquisition

In April 2014, we acquired Springstone, which offers education and patient financing options. Springstone utilizes two issuing banks and a network of providers. Springstone facilitates two loan products:

  •   An installment loan with amounts ranging from $2,000 to $40,000, terms from 24 to 84 months, fixed rates from 3.99% to 17.99%, fixed monthly payments and no prepayment penalties. 

  •   A deferred interest loan with amounts ranging from $499 to $25,000 that provides for no interest if the balance is paid in full during the promotional period, which can be six, 12, 18 or 24 months. If the loan is not paid in full during the promotional period, interest is imposed from the issuance date at variable rate based upon the prime rate. There is no prepayment penalty and borrowers have the flexibility to pay as much or as little, subject to applicable minimums, of the outstanding balance per month during the promotional period as they chose. 

Currently, each of Springstone's issuing banks originates, holds and services each issued loan. For its role in loan facilitation, Springstone earns transaction fees paid by the issuing bank and service provider at the time of origination, which averaged 4.9% of the initial loan balance in 2013. We plan to incorporate these education and patient financing products into our platform over time.


Springstone's balance sheets and such are also included.  I haven't pored over that yet.

Randawl, nice spotting of the current state of loan distributions, dangling between column 3 and column 4 of page 52.

I'm confused though - are certificates, which make up 44% of current principal outstanding, just another way of packaging loans (whole or fractional) to institutional investors? What are certificates?

TravelingPennies

I am guessing that certificates are issued to the LC Advisor Funds and therefore may also be considered Institutional for your purposes

TravelingPennies

Perhaps it is to that fund and others, because it's a large share of the volume.

So the retail investor - whether through automated, manual, or API access, is currently getting a slowly shrinking pct of a rapidly growing pie.  Still growing in absolute terms, but the IPO will bring in more retail investors too, so more competition for whatever slice of the loan volume one is seeking.


TravelingPennies

I believe that Randawl derived this by subtracting the cumulative loan volume from last December from the cumulative numbers for June, for each category, and then dividing those by the total volume for that time period.  So it represents the breakdown for the new loan volume for the first half of this year.


TravelingPennies

You're right, I stand corrected.  Any definitive answer to what class of loans Certificates represent in this table, anyone?  They are the largest category at the end of June.

Notes         $ 880.8
Certificates  1,481.1
Whole loans     980.7
LC financed       0.5

I might have missed this, but does anyone know how big of LC value is the $500M? 20%?
