LandlordInvest Limited ('LandlordInvest' or the 'Company')

LandlordInvest.com, a fully FCA authorised peer-to-peer (P2P) lending platform who last year became one of the first P2P platforms in the UK to offer a property-backed Innovative Finance ISA (“IFISA”), has today released its second annual IFISA statistics.

The finding shows that LandlordInvest’s IFISA has since launching its IFISA attracted more than £2 million in ISA subscriptions with an average subscription per ISA account of £11,6691. This includes more than half million ISA subscriptions that were transferred in from mainly Cash or Stocks & Shares ISAs, evidencing investors growing appetite for the new tax-free wrapper which enables investors earn up to 12.3% per annum2.

Findings from the 2017-2018 tax year show that:

  • 121 new IFISA accounts opened (2016: 68); a year-on-year increase of 116.1%.
  • £1,646,079 (2016: £419,385) of ISA subscriptions; a 292.5% increase year-on-year.
  • Average ISA subscription per IFISA account of £11,669 (2016: £7,489); a year-on-year increase of 55.8%.
  • £536,404 ISA subscriptions Transferred In; a year-on-year increase of 547.2%. £56,463 ISA subscriptions were Transferred Out.
1 Cash subscriptions and ISA Transfer In.
2 Based on weighted-average annual gross rate on active loans as of 5 April 2018 (https://landlordinvest.com/loan-book).

 

Filip Karadaghi, LandlordInvest’s Managing Director, said: “We have widely surpassed our own forecasts and attracted substantially more ISA subscriptions than expected (Editors note: £1 million in ISA subscriptions were forecasted). Such impressive results are testament to the benefits that investors recognise in our property-backed IFISA: the potential to earn higher and inflation beating returns than offered by Cash ISAs, and without exposure to or correlation with the volatile stock markets as with Stocks & Shares ISAs.

We are looking to maintain this rate of progress in the coming years, by continuing innovating the alternative finance and ISA industry and developing our position as one of the leading providers of the property-backed IFISAs”.
