LC lowers rates gain

I just noticed at the 4pm cst drop that rates have been lowered again.  I believe that makes 3 times in a 12 month period (maybe 18 months).

Making hard to maintain returns when reinvestment is at an average lower rate.

Just a general thought.

Interest rates down or stable, and charge off rates up across the board. Yea, us.  https://forum.lendacademy.com/Smileys/default/sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" class="smiley" />

To be expected though - regression. Too much demand (investors), not enough supply (borrowers).

Here's the rates from 12/31/14 and today.  Looks like you may have cut-n-paste incorrectly a few times.

Origination fees for 60 month A grade loans up. 36 month A3 up as well.

More for them less for us. Isn't dealing with a public company great?

If every single note is being funded then this definitely makes sense.  There is too much demand and not enough supply.

Sure it would be great to keep on making the same return, but LC needs to adjust to market conditions.  If I were in their shoes I would do the same thing.

Here's an analysis of the interest rate changes and its implications:
  • Lower rates across low and medium risk loans (A/B/C). The change had the largest relative impact on A3-B5 loans.
  • Higher rates for D loans
  • Lower rates for E loans, but impact relative to net return is lower.
  • Same rates for F&G loans

As long as my precious G crap notes stay the same I'm happy.  https://forum.lendacademy.com/Smileys/default/grin.gif" alt=";D" title="Grin" class="smiley" />

Does lowering yield put more money in LC's pocket directly? Or does it just potentially get them more borrowers via more competitive rates?

Also I agree with the sentiment that investors are fighting like dogs over too few borrowers, they should introduce GR or Greek grade notes with 50% interest and desperately high risk, I'd buy em. Though I guess that would fly in the face of "LC is not a payday loan company." Though why it's striving to not be a payday loan company is a mystery to me, payday loans are wildly profitable, which is why there are so many in Georgia. I seriously doubt any of the sharks investing in LC notes are doing it out of the goodness of their hearts...

LC benefits from lower rates because there will be more borrower interest. 97% of their revenue today comes from origination fees and the rest from payment servicing fees. They're lowering rates as their risk models show that default rates are declining. They can also do this because they have an imbalance of investors-to-borrower ratio. Effectively, LC is adjusting their interest rates so that investors are experiencing the same modeled net returns while stimulating borrower demand. They're not necessarily taking away from one place to another. This is a results of the consumer credit market is improving, which you can expect the contrary occurs.
