Our markets are categorised into active, non-active, and closed. We currently issue new loans only in our active markets—Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania—where we focus on credit quality and growth.

In inactive markets like Finland, Germany, and Portugal, our efforts are dedicated to recovering existing loans.

Closed markets, such as Spain and Sweden, have been fully resolved, with all loans repaid and no further activity planned.

EU Regulations require publishing of a default rate calculated as follows: the number of loans that defaulted over the course of the year divided by the number of non-defaulted loans at 1 Jan of that year. Loans for which no payments are scheduled within the 12-month observation period have been excluded from the default rate calculation dataset.

ESTATEGURU’S ACTUAL AND EXPECTED DEFAULT RATES OF LOANS BY RISK CATEGORY 2024

Regulation (EU) 2020/1503 (the “Crowdfunding Regulation”) requires us to calculate actual and expected default rates of loans by risk category. This is to enable investors to make informed investment decision. To give you a better understand of how the given values have been calculated, we have provided some explanations below. The table reflects the data on loans per category in 2024.

Estateguru has been facilitating loan projects since 2014 but started to assign risk categories to projects in 2023. The total number of loans includes all outstanding loans as of January 1, 2024. This includes loans which were financed before risk categories were assigned to loans but had not matured by January 1, 2024.

The number of defaults in period reflects the number of defaults that occurred in 2024.

Methodology for calculating the expected default rate of loans by risk category. Estateguru uses Moody’s rate for probability of default as the basis for calculating the expected default rate. For this, weighted average (investment amount as basis) default rate is calculated based on the probability of default for all loans in a relevant risk category.

For more information on how the probability of default is calculated and the risk categories are assigned can be found here.

Methodology for calculating the actual default rate of loans by risk category. For calculating the actual default rate, the number of defaults in a risk category is divided by the total number of loans. Loans for which no payments are scheduled within the 12-month observation period have been excluded from the default rate calculation dataset.
