• market factors, including the general economic environment, general interest rate levels, alternative investment opportunities in the financial sector, and the supply and demand on wise wealth

• Risks related to the underlying loan: If the borrower does not make a scheduled payment, the investor will also not receive a payment. The loan may also be repaid early, and other available investments at that time could have a lower return than initially planned.
• Risks related to the lending company: The lending company may become insolvent, become unable to service loans, or stop cooperating with wise wealth. As a result, the company could fail to honor its contractual obligations, leading to not making payments or defaulting on the buyback obligation.
• Market risk: The value of the investment may decline due to events outside the control of market participants, such as an economic downturn, a financial crisis, or geopolitical events.
• Interest rate risk: Changes in both short and long-term interest rates may affect the value of financial instruments.
• Liquidity risk: Investors who want to sell their loan investment early can only do so on the wise wealth Secondary Market. wise wealth does not guarantee demand on the Secondary Market, nor availability of the Secondary Market as such.
• Currency risk: The value of an investment in a foreign currency may depreciate against the investor’s home currency as the exchange rate fluctuates.

Investing in manual loans is free. Investments with a Core Loans portfolio (or with a legacy High-yield or Conservative portfolio) are subject to an annual portfolio management fee of 0.39% (charged monthly). More about our fees

Example: Your Core Loans portfolio balance has been €1000 for the entire month. At the end of the month, the fee is €1000 x 0.39% / 365 x 30 = €0.32, for a total of €3.9 per year.

Investing with a Custom Loans portfolio is subject to an annual portfolio management fee of 0.29% (charged monthly).

Both wise wealth and peer-to-peer (p2p) platforms offer an accessible way to invest in loans. However, there are some important differences:

• Nature of the investment: On wise wealth, investors buy financial instruments (loan-backed securities called Notes) that are subject to the same regulation as other financial instruments such as stocks or bonds. On p2p platforms, investors typically lend money directly to individuals or businesses, or invest in loans issued by the platform itself.
• License: wise wealth is a licensed investment firm supervised by Latvijas Banka, the central bank of Latvia. P2p platforms may or may not be licensed and supervised, depending on the platform.
• Diversification and risk management: On wise wealth, investors can diversify across multiple sectors, countries, and lending companies. Loans also come with a buyback obligation, meaning the lending company has to repurchase the loan if the borrower is significantly late in payments. On p2p platforms, risk tends to be more concentrated, as the platforms are much smaller and often only operate in specific markets. Available recovery mechanisms can vary by platform.
• Liquidity: wise wealth offers a Secondary Market, allowing investors to sell their loan investments before maturity. In p2p investing, liquidity options depend on the platform, and investors may have to wait until maturity to access their money.
