Diversification 101
With Lending Club Notes
Hi Lending Club Member,
[Diversification]( is a simple but fundamental investing concept that spreading your invested dollars across a variety of assets helps to reduce exposure to any single investment. Or put differently - don't put all your eggs in one basket. Diversification is a key to building a portfolio of Lending Club Notes. As historical Lending Club data show, 99% of accounts that hold 100 or more Notes of relatively equal size have seen positive returns.†
Tracking the Impact of Note Diversification
The chart above1 shows the difference between accounts that have 100 Notes or more (with no Note representing more than 1% of the total account value) and those that have fewer than 100 Notes (with some Notes representing more than 1% of the total account value).
