Starting my P2P Portfolio – But how?

I analysed the performance of 6 different EU P2P investing blogs to figure out which platforms offer the highest returns. However historic performance is never an indicator for future performance.

So remember my investment strategy/policy? No? Check it out in the About page.

Let’s get right to the point, I will have ~30k CHF available to invest on 1st of January and another 30k CHF by the end of January. So my portfolio should be around 60k CHF/EUR at the beginning of February 2020.

Analysis

Let’s check out the XIRR of the 6 best performing EU P2P investing blogs:

DoFinance12.94%11.1%12.02%
PeerBerry12%11.53%12.47%11.9%11.45%11.87%

And that’s it, these 15 platforms qualify for my 12% XIRR minimum target. I will add (affiliate) links to each of the platforms in the table after I signed up with them.

Plan

I will therefore try to invest 2’000 € in each of the platforms beginning in the first weeks of January. When the January salary + bonus rolls in I will add another 2’000 € by the end of January/beginning of February.

Wish me luck!

Thanks for reading.

Update 25.12.2019

Jørgen from financiallyfree.eu published some background information about Kuetzal which clearly disqualifies the platform for me. A potential owner that was historically involved into money laundering and another owner which is too shy to show up to a meeting are two clear red flags. I will put the 4’000 € therefore in other platforms instead.

Update 26.12.2019

I’ve added PeerBerry as the new candidate platform. It should be able to perform above 12% when using the correct AutoInvest settings.
