Today we are sharing performance data for the Prosper portfolio for March 2017.
The Prosper portfolio continues to deliver an estimated return above 7% for 2017 vintages. Estimated return on March 2017 production is 7.74% on gross loss expectations of 7.35%. The higher return expectations in the AA-B rating grades reflect the impact of the pricing increase implemented this March.
This shift in rating distribution of the book towards higher-risk ratings is a result of the implementation of our PMI7 credit model and PMI7’s utilization of time series credit data, which we believe provides a significant boost in predictive power. This increase in predictive power enables the effective inclusion of customers that would have been declined using PMI6.
Additional highlights from the March update include:
- The portfolio FICO remains consistent at 707, with intra-grade FICO scores above those seen in 2015 and 2016.
- We are seeing early indicators that Q2 2016 vintages may reach an early delinquency peak when compared to the Q1 2016 and 2015 vintages.
- Consistent with prior months, targeted policy changes have led to a significant improvement in early delinquency rates in Q3 2016 and Q4 2016 compared to Q1 2016 and Q2 2016 vintages.
- Early pre-payment rates for the 2017 vintages are closer to those exhibited during the 2009-2012 period when the overall portfolio was targeting a higher risk portfolio mix.
- Early delinquency rates for the 2017 vintages originated under PMI7 are consistent with the shift in rating distribution. While January performance is worse than expected, February is materially stronger than expected. Both vintages are performing meaningfully stronger than the 2009-2012 vintages.
