Returns by platform in 2021

Median net return (XIRR) of the portfolios our users track on each platform, after defaults and fees. The range next to it is where the middle half of those portfolios landed.

How these numbers are made

  • Every figure is an XIRR calculated from transaction data imported by P2P Dash users: the return the money actually earned, after defaults and fees, not the rate a platform advertises.
  • A platform is listed for a year once at least 10 tracked portfolios cover it. The privacy pipeline suppresses smaller cohorts before we ever see them; this floor sits on top of that, because a median over a handful of portfolios is not worth citing.
  • The median is the middle portfolio, not an average, so one outsized portfolio cannot pull it. The range next to it shows where the middle half landed, which says more about a platform than the median alone.
  • These are our users' returns, not a platform's total book. They describe a sample of engaged retail investors, which is exactly the number platforms never publish about themselves.
  • Past years are not frozen. When somebody imports years of history, a closed year gains portfolios and its median can still move. Every page is rebuilt nightly; what you see is the state of the data on October 28, 2026.

Earlier years

Every year keeps its own page, so a link you share keeps working, and the figures on it stay up to date as more history is imported.

About this data: The figures on this page are aggregated from anonymized data that P2P Dash users import themselves, plus platform details we maintain by hand. We check both, but we cannot guarantee that they are complete or free of errors. Spotted a mistake? Write to tim@newnow.de and we will correct it.
