Learn about consumer credit

What is consumer credit?

Consumer credit refers to personal debt taken on by consumers, and includes credit cards, auto loans, personal loans, student loans, and mortgages. Personal loans are a notable and growing $1T+ category5 of consumer credit; borrowers typically use personal loans to consolidate credit card debt in a simple, easy-to-use installment loan with a fixed interest rate.

Why invest in unsecured personal loans? 

Unsecured personal loans appeal to investors due to their strong return profile and ability to diversify a portfolio. Unsecured personal loans offer high yield and short duration, and can provide diversification for many investors versus traditional fixed income assets.

Why personal loans vs. other consumer credit assets?

Personal loans tend to have a relatively high yield with a short duration. Loan interest rates range from approximately 6 to 36% and are 24 to 72 months, which compares favorably to many longer-dated consumer assets.

About 9% of Americans have an unsecured personal loan6
