    From 0 to 1 billion USD invested in Marketplace Lending

    Erich Bonnet is the CIO, CEO and founder of Smart Lenders Asset Management, a Paris-based asset manager exclusively managing portfolios of loans issued through online lending platforms.

    Erich has had an impressive career with a background in trading and asset management. He began his path as a trader of interest rate derivatives at a French bank. Having worked in both OTC markets and floor trading, he eventually launched ADI, an alternative asset management company specialising in arbitrage strategies. The company became the largest independent alternative investment manager in Paris with more than 400 institutional clients and 6.5 billion EUR of Assets Under Management (AUM). 

    After selling this company, Erich started focusing on niche investments...

    It was in 2012 – when he, for the first time, heard about marketplace lending through his friend Renaud Laplanche (the famous Frenchman who co-founded Lending Club, a successful American peer-to-peer lending company). Erich became very intrigued with this asset class and felt it was very attractive to European investors. Soon after, he decided to launch Smart Lenders Asset Management – a company that is to become one of the largest funds in Europe for this asset class.

    As of June 2021, Smart Lenders Asset Management hit a significant milestone and invested more than 1 billion USD in loans for institutional and professional European investors to date. Talk about being impressive!

    Tune in to this incredible episode to learn how Erich did it all! His remarkable journey, his take on the Europe and US marketplace lending space, the perks of this asset class, and lots more. It's an episode that cannot be missed!
