My portfolio update: December 2020

Month of satisfaction and disappointment (say Housers)

That’s it, month of satisfaction (Crowdestor and Robo.cash) and disappointments (Housers and Mintos), because December has been less profitable than October and November, mainly because Housers has ignored its payment obligations and has contributed nothing to the 636€ generated this month by the rest of the platforms. 

Below you can see the profitability of each one in detail:

Mintos has been a disappointment for another month, but I have paid back 39 euros and I am below the 1000 euros invested. At this rate I will forget about Mintos in two years. I now have only 6.5% invested (60 euros), as the rest (920 euros) is still in the process of recovery. 

Peerberry remains constant, maintaining a high number of available projects which last month reached the milestone of EUR 22.3 million funded.

Another 9 Euros were given to me by Viainvest in December, which continues to consolidate as a safe and smooth bet. 

This month, Robo.cash was the main attraction, contributing 286 euros in interest thanks to the investment campaign in projects in Singapore, which gave me 226 euros. 

As usual in Crowdestor, they have had a month with lights and shadows. The lights: the Mafia Stars project has made an advance of 21% on the capital to be delivered on 6 January and the Saapio project has been brought up to date with payments.

The shadows: five projects are more than 90 days overdue, although we have a commitment to pay for one of them (Forestland Investments) from January, another without news since early November (Inch2) despite the publication by Crowdestor and, as a novelty, I have acquired in the secondary market the project Wholesale Food Trade with an amount of 34€ to try.

In spite of this, this month they have contributed 320 euros very welcome. Furthermore, they have launched a vote to accept or not the proposal of the promoter of the Consumer Loan Portfolio Acquisition project, which seemed to be a joke.  

Regarding Wisefund, they have surprised the market by launching a new projectwhen we all anticipated the probable end of the platform. Last attempts? It should be remembered that they are unprincipled people who have not informed their investors for months and do not provide a solution to their short-term defaults.

In Lenndy I have stopped the autoinvest since December 29th because they hardly launch any projects and I have 35 out of 38 projects delayed.In addition, new investors will not be able to registeruntil mid-January, so I have deleted the bonus link to avoid any inconvenience. December has contributed only 4 euros, when previously it was no less than 10 euros a month.

This month I sold my scarce Swaper portfolio, as they could hardly publish any projects. It has been an 11-month test that has not convinced me and I will not return to them until they increase their available projects. 

On the other hand, for almost a year now I have been following Iuvo and Lendermarket, in which I have started to invest at the end of December with small amounts to see their evolution and test them. Below and in the Crowdlending section I leave you more details. 

Bondster has given me €13 in December, which I hope will continue to work in the same way: high profitability, immediate returns and strict application of the Buyback. 

This month, the developer of the Baltic Forest project, whose first meeting of creditorswas held on December 21, has been declared bankrupt. Crowdestate has informed that a bankruptcy committee has been appointed, which will have to analyse the situation and make claims on behalf of the debtors. 

Grupeer published their latest news on the blog at the beginning of November, which I don’t know if it’s good news, and Bulkestate continues at their pace, slowly but surely, working quite well, even though they have only published two projects this month that have celebrated their 4th anniversary.

As a disappointment, Housers has not ceased to surprise us with a new lack of payment, in which they have failed to comply with the agreementwe reached three months ago on the Albufera III and Torres de Paterna projects and of which they only paid for the first month.

They did the same in the previous agreement, signed more than a year ago, so they are fooling investors again. How long will the CNMV (National Securities Market Commission), allow Housers to do this?

The President of the Association of People Affected by Housers has published a table with ALL the delayed projects and they are MANY. You will be amazed… Here you can see it in detail. 

Finally, on Envestio there have been some new developments, while Kuetzal and Monethera have hardly changed from last month. You can see them all below.

And here are the details of each platform:

Updating my portfolio: November 2020

Month of joy and hope

That’s right, month of joy and hope. So it was November: a good month with 967 euros obtained from interest,but with two sides. The joy represented by Crowdestor and the hope that Housers would fulfill his commitments.

In short, both Housers   and   Crowdestor some outstanding   payments have been left along the way, although the former I have little confidence.

The commitment made according to the payment schedule proposed by Housers lasted one month, so we are returning to the usual pattern of delays in payments. 

Mintos continues to disappoint in its figures, as its profitability has been a few cents, since I have only invested 10%of my funds, since the remaining 90% is in the process of recovery. 

Peerberry   hascontributed the same 4th last month and   it still works well. They transfer confidence in their parent company Aventus Group in Poland, despite pandemic regulations.

Viainvest has contributed this month with 9€ who know me to glory. Its parent company VIA SMS Group has submitted its excellent consolidated reports for 2019, with a net profit of almost 400,000 euros.

Robo.cash   surprised me this month with 31€ profit and continues to offer its usual stability. Now that you have completed a project in Crowdestor and taking advantage of the additional 1% that you offer until December 10, I will reinvest the entire amount in them.   More information here.

Crowdestor’s had a irregular month. On the one hand, I have been returned to the entire Minst 19 project with 13.4% interest meeting the date. But, on the other hand, seven projects accumulate with delay,some more than three months: Kabuki at Salaris, Foresland and Fertilizer Export. In the first two, news was expected at the end of November that have not arrived.

In any case, it has contributed 162 euros that are very welcome and have continued to inform investors conveniently about the situation of each project. 

Lenndy has contributed 11 euros in November and I remain confident in his good work to maintain a very diversified portfolio   .

For its part, Bondster has helped me with another 11€ and I removed Rapicredit from my Autoinvest because I was accumulating many projects of this originator and I want to diversify. On the other hand, www.todocrowdlending.com appear in the TOP 3 of more profitable platforms. 

Bulkestate   has slowed the pace this month and has published only three projects, but it still offers enormous security and is corroborated by its stalwart investors.

At Swaper I am   very unhappy with their   severing of projects and I have only one euro invested that I will repay in mid-December along with the rest of the balance, when the last project is over.

Crowdestate has been personed to find out the details of Baltic Forest’s bankruptcy petition. In short, they are looking for a buyer urgently, but they convey a certain peace of mind by ensuring that they have the necessary guarantees. The 2,600 euros invested are already 8 months behind schedule and, according to their own forecasts, there are still 73 months to go. 

Grupeer   has published the legal actions it will take against originators who are not fulfilling their existing contracts, continues to manage the collections of 10 million euros through Recollecta and announce that they are still interested in continuing their company.

Finally, after several emails,   Wisefund has informed me that action is being taken to recover the unpaid amounts from the Dutch Flowers project through the company Cis Debt Recovery Solutions, but they do not know how long this will take and the amount to be recovered. It is possible to sue them, but this has not been confirmed to date. 

In relation to Housers, there is good news and bad news, since they have paid everything corresponding to the payment schedule of the Marismas de Odiel project, while in Torres de Paterna and Albufera III they paid only in October and already have missed their second month. Housers informed me that they will try to enforce the promoter’s payment of two months before Christmas, but their confidence is also minimal. 

They have also reactivated the paymentsof Pensamiento and Juan de la Encina, which since March and December were not paying interest despite being both rented. Below is the status of all the projects. 

The platform of those affected by Housers’ non-payment is very active and a few days ago dozens of documents were presented before the National Court accrediting Housers’ lack of contractual compliance.

Finally, about Kuetzal, Monethera and Envestio there have been some news that you can read at the end of this post. 

Here’s the table with the percentages and returns for each platform this month:

And here’s what’s new in the detail of each platform:

Mintos (extended version)

Although their results in my case are not satisfactory, they continue to have a loyal legion of followers who have full confidence in them, having reached 7.2 million euros in their self-crowdfunding campaign with more than 7,000 investors.

With regard to the outstanding payments, I am enclosing a screenshot of my current situation:

It seems that Finko Armenia, where I have the bulk of my investments in recovery, could pay back all the amounts until December 2022. For the time being, this last month they have returned 120,000 Euros out of the total of 17 million that are still pending, as you can see below:

It seems that Capital Service and Express Credit will be the hardest to charge. What I most reproach Mintos for is that, until the moment when the platforms I invested in failed, they had been rated between A- and B.

Mintos now has the new Mexican originator “Podemos Progresar”, which offers returns of up to 12%.

Updating my portfolio: September 2020

Month of high hope

Month of high hope, yes. Although they have only been half-fulfilled,because I expected many charges from Crowdestor and half of them have been made. The ones that did not materialize in September are 91€ of the Saapio project and 459 euros of the Inch2 project.  

If the deadlines had been met, the amount of profitability this month would have been 1,003 euros, but due to these delays, the actual total has been 448euros, which is not bad either. 

Since August, another 186 euros derived from the Forestland Investments and Kabuki projects have been pending payment.

Finally, from May and July respectively, the projects already completed Fertilizer Export and The Catch, with amounts of 1,494 euros and 1,466 euros, are pending.

In Mintos I have returned 13% of the portfolio in September and will continue to lower my exposure with them because I have 882 euros of 1027 euros in recovery and only 141 euros producing some profitability. They have several new features that you can see below. 

Peerberryhas barely made a profitability this month because most projects will be completed in October. I have increased my portfolio by 200 euros and continue to work firmly, even increasing the profitability of some projects.

At Viainvest I have increased 300€ my portfolio in projects to 12% and will remain one of my platforms to consider in the coming months.

On August 31st I increased 2,000 euros in Robo.cash,taking advantage of the promotion to 14% that is not in force today.

Lenndy also received 200 euros to increase the portfolio to the current 1,200 euros and has contributed me 17 euros in interest. 

I am still very satisfied with Bondster,although this month I have half the projects with delays,but they always apply their Buyback that works perfectly. 

From all other platforms – Bulkestate, Swaper, Wisefund, Crowdestate y and Grupeer – you can see below all the details, which are not few. I also update the latest advances in the processes against Monethera, Kuetzal and Envestio. 

And to finish, unlike in my previous publications, I will tell you what’s new in Housers:

Fifth consecutive month without paying me any interest or repayment. It appears that they will start to pay back the interest of two projects and another one could be incorporated if the votes at the shareholders’ meeting dictate it that way – until I see it on my account I won’t believe it –the project to be sold in June has been dismissed and Housers has decided that you no longer need to have your customer service as easy as that. 

Two months ago they announced to all the media that they were moving to super-offices. Well, just out of curiosity I stopped by to see them and it is a co-working space. Will there be any truth to what they say?

As of September 29, I’ve paralyzed Robo.cash, Lenndy and Bondster’s Autoinvest to take care of a family member’s mortgage with the money they report to me.

Here I show you the monthly profitability chart obtained in September:

And here’s what’s new in the detail of each platform:

Mintos (extended version)

It remains P2P’s number one platform, with 92 million euros invested, followed by Peerberry with 14 million.

But I’m not exactly happy with Mintos. The 882 euros that are in arrears could be charged in a period of 10 months, according to the information extracted from the different originators.
