Investment return is defined as the weighted average interest rate across loans that were active in the year (net of fees, by each loan's balance) minus the annualised loss rate on these loans.
First year: Tends to show higher returns as it looks at a portfolio of entirely new loans which cannot default for the first four months.
Zopa Core was not introduced until 2017.
Annual net losses
This compares our expected net losses to what actually happened in a given year. By net losses we mean the amount lost to defaults, after taking into account any recoveries made by our Collections team.
