How to manage investment risk

P2P loans carry default, liquidity, and platform risk — here's how to approach them

Diversify across 20+ loans minimum

Spread risk; one default won't sink your portfolio

Check borrower credit scores and financials

Higher scores = lower default probability, but also lower returns

Understand loan purpose and collateral

Secured loans may recover more in case of default

Review historical default rates

Past performance doesn't guarantee future results, but it helps set expectations

Plan for illiquidity

Most loans run 12–36 months; early exit may not be possible

Use auto-invest for discipline

Avoid timing the market; stay consistent across economic cycles

Monitor repayment schedules monthly

Catch delays early and decide whether to hold or escalate

Never invest money you can't afford to lose

High-risk product: total loss is possible

Explore the loan marketplace

Browse active funding opportunities sorted by yield, risk, sector, and borrower type — updated daily as new projects are vetted and published

About Maclear

Maclear AG is a Swiss P2P/P2B crowdlending platform connecting investors with vetted business borrowers. We operate under Swiss law with AML/KYC supervision via PolyReg SRO. Maclear is not a bank and does not lend from its own balance sheet.

Transparency and reporting

Every loan includes full borrower financials, credit scoring, repayment schedules, and historical performance data. Investors receive monthly statements, real-time portfolio tracking, and notifications for repayment delays or defaults. All fees are disclosed upfront.

  • Monthly portfolio statements
  • Real-time repayment tracking
  • Full borrower disclosure before investment
  • Default and recovery reporting
  • No hidden fees
  • Annual performance reports

Collateral and the Provision Fund help reduce certain risks, but do not eliminate investment risk.

Common questions about P2P investing

Entry point is as low as €50 per individual loan, allowing investors to start with minimal capital. This low threshold enables portfolio diversification across multiple borrowers and sectors without requiring substantial upfront investment.

Maclear maintains a reserve fund that can cover repayment delays in certain cases. If default occurs, the platform initiates debt collection procedures on behalf of investors while utilizing reserve mechanisms to protect against total loss.

Investors access comprehensive borrower information including financial statements, industry classification, loan purpose, and internal credit ratings before committing funds. Full transparency on terms and credit scores enables informed decision-making aligned with individual risk tolerance.

The platform allows investors to spread capital across multiple loans, borrowers, and economic sectors to reduce concentration risk. Small minimum investments per loan facilitate this strategy without requiring large capital allocations to individual projects.

When Maclear assigns a loan claim, investors become legal creditors with formal repayment rights under Swiss law. This structure provides contractual certainty and legal standing for claim enforcement should borrower obligations be breached.
