As per coolbear comments above, default rates unlikely to have changed in the last 2 years... that 3% reduction just a full hit to investor return.

I wonder how the insto's feel about the drastically reduced income with practically no change to the underlying risk?
I agree - I was aiming for a weighted average lending rate of around 20%, which put me at a C2 "centerpoint". I will now have to get down to a D5 (!) centerpoint, which obviously carries a lot more defaults risk. I too think the reduction in rates are drastic. Down 5% in some grades is not fine-tuning, it's a complete change of tack.
