The peer-to-peer property lender noted the current volatility of the stock market and said that its tax-free wrapper gives people the opportunity to invest in an income-producing asset backed by tangible UK security.

“We have been developing this product for some time, and while we are clearly not first to market, we wanted to bring a product which we are entirely happy with and which is both simple and secure to use.
