Ferratum Capital Germany GmbH: Ferratum launches its new marketplace lending (P2P) - Seite 2

additional countries it can be offered for institutional investors as well.
Jokela on the relevance of P2P Lending for Ferratum: "This is an important
strategic step for us, as marketplace lending is not limited by balance
sheet restrictions. This allows us to develop the lending product
portfolio, comprising higher volume and longer term credits in the very
near future."

Peer-to-Peer lending is already a very established asset class with
FinTechs playing a major role in establishing this market. Institutional
investors have been using consumer loans for decades, not only to generate
attractive returns, but also to diversify investments from bonds and
stocks. It helps to reduce portfolio risk, as consumer loans correlate only
marginally with most other asset classes.
