On the portal: October 2024 Investments

The continuing slide of the OCR have seen an increase in enquiries for investments that offer more than the ever-decreasing term deposits.

The latest OCR reductions have affected lending rates across the board and investment rates along with it. At SCP rates have started tracking down with minimum rates now starting at 7.25%.

However, we are also pleased to consistently offer opportunities with a minimum investment of $10,000, allowing more investors to sample our investments and diversify their portfolios.

Here is a highlight of some of the investments released this week:

We’re seeing an increase in investors needing to resell their investment via the secondary market so you will see more opportunities marked ‘Resale market’ on the portal. There are a variety of reasons why an investor may decide to exit the loan early, including purchasing property, helping out family or winding up of a deceased estate. To learn more about the resale market, see our earlier bog here.

Remember, if you like what you see, login to the portal and scoop up the loan before someone else does!
