Analyzing the EstateGuru Loan Portfolio – Summer 2019

The last year has been one of unprecedented growth for EstateGuru, so we’ve decided to take another detailed look at our loan portfolio.

Since our launch in 2014, we have funded an incredible total of €136,289,338. Last year was by far the biggest in EstateGuru’s history in terms of loan volume.

As part of our mission to give our investors as much diversification as possible, we offer loans on projects in six European countries, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Finland, Spain and Portugal. Of these, Estonia is still the largest market, as it was in 2018, although the margin has shrunk significantly, with Latvia and Lithuania both showing healthy growth.
