Wisefund Review

The P2P lending market is unstable at this moment with the crash of Envetio and Kuetzal. Some people are raising concerns about Wisefund. Thus I advise you not to invest in this platform in the medium term until the market becomes more stable. You can invest in more trustable platforms such as Mintos.

Wisefund is a crowdlending platform focusing in the fields of business crowdfunding. This platform is a pretty new entrant on the market as it was founded in March 2019. The platform rapidly started to be trendy, and in the first 9 months of its launch, the platform raised more than 3 millions of investments and attracted more than 1700 investors.

On November 2019 the platform has excited his two first investments allowing her to start building its track record.

Available projects have a minimum size of € 50’000 and can be described in the categories below:

  • Agriculture/Farming
  • Technology
  • Transportation (e.g. railways, car, yacht)
  • Manufacturing
  • Business growing

Sadly, the details of previous investments are only available to their investors.

Location-wise, the platform offer projects located in Germany, Latvia, Estonia and Poland

Projects usually return monthly interests (the last calendar day of the month) and the invested amount (principal amount) is returned to the investor at the end of the investment which is often of a 4-14 month term.

The €10 minimum investment amount is a great advantage of this platform compared to his competitor Crowdestor.

How it works:

Performances:

The ROI of Wisefund investments is in the highest range of the market, averaging at 18.06% ROI (on 11.2019) and with projects ranging from 14% to 20% return on investments (directly related to risks).

Safety:

Wisefund offers two interesting features to investors:

  • Early exit: The platform has outsourced to an independent third-party partner to take care of purchasing back the investments. Investors are therefore allowed to sell their investments in 1-2 business days in exchange for a fee that varies between each investment and displayed in the project description
  • BuyBack guarantee: The buyback guarantee triggers after 60 days that a loan defaulted. This service has been externalized to a partner (unknown). While the buyback pays back 100% of the invested amount, it sadly doesn’t pay back any missing interests. The BuyBack is optional and its fee varies on each project.
  • Protection fund: For each new investment, the platforms is also investing in it (share undefined). This invested amount is used to build up the protection fund that can then be used in case of an investment default to pay back interests and the invested amount to investors if possible. The amount of the fund is unknown.

Advice

Wisefund has really high returns on investments averaging at 18.06% over their available projects and the platform offers interesting alternative projects.

The platform is an interesting new-comer to watch and to start inserting gradually and carefully in your portfolio as it has still a small track record but provides great returns.
