Product Features
Symfonie managed accounts are designed for investors who want their portfolio tailored to their specific
requirements, such as maturity and risk ratings of loans in which they would like to invest.
While no investment is guaranteed, the rating and maturity structure of peer to peer loans provides some
predictability of investment performance. Loans with higher ratings should offer lower overall risk than loans
with lower ratings. The maturity structure also provides investors a concrete point in time by which they can
expect the return of capital invested.
Peer to peer loan platforms provide credit scores that offer an estimated loan-loss rate across groups of loans in
each ratings category. Symfonie selects loans based in part on the ratings categories assigned by the Peer to
Peer lending platforms. Symfonie also uses its proprietary risk models to select loans within each ratings
category that Symfonie believes more likely to produce better risk adjusted returns.
Symfonie’s leading investment principal, Michael Sonenshine, has a proven track record of success and more
than 15 years of experience analysing and investing in bonds and credit instruments.

Featured P2P Platform – Funding Circle (UK)
Funding Circle sets a benchmark for excellence. Each loan is presented with a set of information about the
borrower, its business, the purpose of the loan and the borrower’s financial history. Investors have
opportunity to ask questions of the company and to do company financials reports. Further information can
be found on publicly accessible sources via the internet. Thus there is ample scope to carry out a sufficient
amount of due diligence.
Interest rates are transparently set via an auction process. The borrower pays the weighted average rate of
interest and the investors each have loan parts reflecting the interest rate they bid. Thus, some investors
own loan pieces at better than average rates, others own loan pieces at lower than average rates.
Many loan parts are available in a secondary market. Investors thus can purchase in the secondary market
and pay a premium ranging from 0.1% to 3% of principal value of the loan part.
Funding Circle has originated more than 4,000 loans to date with value of about GBP 230 million.
