    I have been reluctant to post my own results as my Harmoney investments are obviously on the riskier side, but I am certainly pleased with my current RAR at 17.57%. Since you are all so open to sharing I've felt rude just snooping and thought you might be interested.
    I have been in for 12 months now, hopefully the RAR curve settles!

    Today is my 3rd anniversary of Harmoney lending. Report card so far over this period; over 1840 all time loans taken, of which 48% have been repaid.

    Personal RAR has increased to 14.31%, 410 pips above today's platform RAR. All time Charge-offs 35, E and F grades 16/101= 15.84% and A-D grades 19/1740= 1.092%

    A note to these stats, 500 of my current loans have been taken since August 1 2017 when Harmoney introduced V1.5 interest rate card, so I expect more Charge offs and a possible stabilization of the RAR.

    The sharp glitch downward on the chart toward the end of 2015 was a result of heavy charge-offs in the E-F grades. Today have less than 40 active loans remaining in A,E,F.

    Nice.
    It seems the E's and F's where not as good as we thought they where. Once they cull themselves from your portfolio then your RAR can creep back up a bit.

    So I've been in half of what you have (18 months), with 1,907 all time loans, the current number (active or arrears) being 1,049. I started with $100 in each loan, but now rarely do this, usually $50 or $75, my current average loan value is now $70.73.

    My RAR currently sits at 13.73%

    At peak I did have 43 F's and 138 E's, this has now reduced to 21 F's and 108 E's (i still invest in E1's). By value however, at peack E/F's where 18.6% of my portfolio, now they are 13%.

    I hope my rar slowly edges back up as I focus on B/C/D 36 month loans with Harmoney 1.5.

    In the absence of tax guidance or a ruling for retail investors "not in business", given the seemingly high proportion of non-deductible charge-offs to gross interest for a moderately risky (b's and c's) portfolio of notes, would it make more sense for those investors to invest in Lending Crowd and Squirrel? In other words is Harmoney best for Big peers in the business of lending and should little peers be best investing in other P2P vehicles?

    Even for less risky lower interest earning Harmoney notes (a's and b's) the Harmoney fees are higher than Lending Crowd's - and without the level of security Lending Crowd has.

    Have you actually tried investing in Lending Crowd? I only have $25k in there and unless I put $250+ in each loan (only B1 or B2) it's impossible to get it all invested. I had $700 sitting in there for a fortnight and managed to get $300 out yesterday in one loan, but missed the second loan. Loans disappear in a matter of seconds so unless you have your own software that auto invests you're going to be out-of-luck; even the available auto investor doesn't pick them all up because it only checks every couple of minutes.

    I'm also claiming my Harmoney fees and write-offs as an expense. I treat it like a job.

    Agree there are pros and cons with all P2P. However at least your LC balance sitting unused can be withdrawn in full and deployed elsewhere should you become impatient or decide not to use an off-site auto-investor.

    I think that is how it should be treated however there has not been guidance to that effect from the IRD (or from Harmoney for all retail investors for that matter). Clarity would be great. In fact I have only seen Financial Review articles - sorry no citations - that would cast doubt on that, especially in regards to write-offs. If everyone could claim Lender fees why doesn't Harmoney deduct RWT from gross interest less fees? One could pay a couple of hundred? for an accountant's researched opinion (and for an investor with say $10,000 that would severely diminish their year's interest) first but would the accountant's opinion coincide with the IRD's - whatever that is? Definitely DYOR.

    It would be great to have guidance for all investors to the effect that the net blended return (interest-fees-chargeoffs) from P2P is taxable income. Still no sign of that.

    they are claimable, Like I have said, I have checked with the IRD, you guys should check for yourself though.

    and I did ask harmoney this, but they just gave some generic stupid answer



    You didn't really answer my question.



    You are paying my tax based on gross interest.

    Tax is normally paid on profit, that being gross interest less harmoney fees.

    Is it possible for you guys to do this or do I need to keep doing an adjustment with the IRD?

    Thanks heaps!


    Hi Alistar - thanks for your reply.

    Harmoney allow lenders to set the rate for the RWT deductions based on their personal tax situation and the RWT percentage can be reviewed and updated in the tax section of your lending account:
    https://www.harmoney.co.nz/lender/po...ax/tax-details

    We expect that fees paid by Lenders to Harmoney will be tax deductible and recommend seeking independent tax advice from an accountant or tax specialist when preparing a tax return.

    The platform loan volumes over time are now available on our Marketplace Statistics page (currently: $710m for NZ as at 18/02).
