In addition, since Bondora+ loans are considered higher risk, it also means that using this strategy may significantly reduce ROI and cause potential losses, in case the investments are not properly diversified.<\/p>\n<p>It is recommended to use proper diversification for optimizing your returns and risk levels.<\/p>\n<h2>Bid limits for investors<\/h2>\n<p>If you are investing through an investment profile, each automated investment (into 1 loan) is subject to bid limits of 500 EUR or 20% of the loan application amount, whichever is smaller.<\/p>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; you can invest up to 500 EUR into 10,000 EUR;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; you can invest 100 EUR into 500 EUR loan.<\/p>\n<p>For manual investing there are no bid limits, meaning that a single investor could fund an entire loan, once it is available on the market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Low diversification leads to higher risks Loan diversification, as mentioned before, is one of the main investment strategies in peer-lending to reduce investment risks.
