  1. The rates shown are the annual projected returns, after fees and bad debts but before tax, that a diversified investor could earn with the Balanced lending option. Your actual return may be higher or lower than projected, for example due to the performance of the individual loans your funds are matched with, or a change in macroeconomic conditions. By lending to businesses your capital is at risk. See the full calculation here.
  2. Interest earned is after fees and bad debt, but before tax.
  3. The tax-free entitlement of an ISA depends on the individual circumstances of each investor, and may be subject to change in the future.

Funding Circle has been the most lucrative [peer-to-peer platform]. Since I joined in August 2012, drip feeding cash in, my returns, after all fees and bad debt adjustment, have been 6.2pc.
