INVEST IN PEOPLE
SocietyOne Personal Loans Unit Trust
Our Personal Loans Unit Trust gives wholesale investors the opportunity to earn a target return (net of fees and costs but before tax) of 4-6% p.a. from a portfolio of prime fixed rate personal loans originated by SocietyOne and other entities owned by MoneyMe Limited. Interest is credited monthly.
Our creditworthy customers are digitally savvy. Our simple application process and competitive pricing are key to our success in driving consistent loan origination growth. Through our diligent management of loans we can maximise returns to investors.
Proven Asset Class
We target bank grade prime borrowers with the individual interest rate determined by their personal circumstances. Our customers borrow an average of $20,000 per loan, based on loan terms of 2, 3, 5 or 7 years.
Liquidity
Whilst we recommend investors treat their investment in a personal loan portfolio with a 3-7 year time horizon, the trust will offer liquidity (subject to certain conditions) for investors who hold their investments beyond 12 months.
Managed for return smoothing
The target return (net of fees and costs but before tax) for the loan portfolio is 4-6% p.a.
The Trust structure includes a reserve fund to smooth returns during periods of volatility as the loan portfolio grows and the default and arrears profile matures. The reserve fund mechanism also allows investors to earn higher returns should the Trust outperform the target return.

Do I invest directly in loans?
For personal loans, investors own units in the Trust and the Trust invests in loans which are approved in accordance with our credit assessment criteria. Investors have no direct interest (legal or beneficial) in the individual loans.
For livestock loans you receive an equitable interest in the loan which entitles you to receive the interest and capital repayments for the proportion of the loan you have funded. More detailed investor information on our personal and livestock loan products can be found here.
