Prosper’s latest investor update highlights the performance of standard product loans “originated through the Prosper platform.”
Delinquencies for the latest origination vintages (2021Q1 – Q3) “remain significantly lower than pre-pandemic vintages used to set credit performance benchmarks, reflecting Prosper’s disciplined and long-term approach to risk management.”
The platform’s strong credit performance is “enabled by innovative risk strategies combined with machine learning models that leverage proprietary data from over one million borrowers across the Prosper platform, along with data from credit bureaus and alternative sources.”
Current Macro Economic Environment
Though persistently high inflation and Fed policy “remain a significant headwind in 2022 amid supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, geopolitical conflicts, and the emergence of new COVID-19 variants, [Prosper] believes the financial health of most US consumers remains resilient.”
Multiple Fed rate increases “are expected in the coming months to combat inflation.”
However, these rate increases are also “expected to drive credit card balance growth and slow credit card payment rates, boosting personal loan demand.”
Tailwinds supporting consumers’ ability-to-pay “include robust wage growth, record household wealth, and low unemployment rates.”
Therefore, although credit normalization is occurring across nearly all risk segments, the platform’s management expects “the performance of prime consumer segments, which comprise most of the standard product loans originated through Prosper’s platform, to remain healthy.”
