Peer-to-peer lending
Peer-to-peer (P2P) lending is a favorite way of investing for some alternatives investors. This type of investment removes the middleman (the financier) out of the equation. P2P lending produces mutual benefit — a higher return for you as an investor and a lower cost of borrowing for the other party. It adds diversification to your loan portfolio, and you can invest through third-party P2P lending platforms.
