The usual trend for portfolio returns is to decline over time as more origination payments are missed slightly. However, in November, Bondora portfolio returns wholly bucked this trend and were higher across the board compared to October<\/a>. This was led by significant rises in Spanish originations’ return rates, even as Estonian originations saw their returns decline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As always, country-specific performance charts are broken down by the number of loan issuances over the given period, with Orange representing < 50 loans, Blue 51-200, and White > 200.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yearly performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The overall 2020 returns grew from 17.5% to 17.9% in November, which is now more than 5% higher than the target rate of 12.8%. Returns going back for the past five years were also higher. The yearly return rate that saw the most significant increase was 2019, which came in at 19.2%, which is 3.1% higher than in October. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gains for 2020 can be attributed mostly to Spain’s originations, where the return was 25.5% this month compared to 20.8% a month ago. Finnish returns also grew by 1.1% to 13.1%. In contrast, the yearly return for Estonian originations decreased by 1.3% to 18.6% in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
