I have been playing with the new ROI tool this morning.  In some ways it is quite cool, but I don’t have a good feel for what it is trying to tell me except stay away from the old HR.  No problem there the RateLadder Portfolio is AA-D with a B+ average weighting.  At first glance, it seems they made some trade offs between ease of use and transparency.  Here is the documentation for the ROI calcualtor: http://www.prosper.com/public/help/topics/lender-marketplace_performance.aspx 

I think I will be attending the 9am Portfolio Analysis for Lenders and the 10:30am Lender Panel.  I am the 6’10″ guy with a beard, please say hello.

Portfolio Analysis for Lenders:

This presentation begins with an expert demonstration of the marketplace performance tools, lender statements and accounting details by the engineers who built them.  Then Kirk (CFO) will demonstrate how to use these tools to derive optimum lending portfolio ROI.  Attendees will have opportunity to ask questions of the pros.

Lender Panel:

Learn from Prosper old timers in this session featuring several of Prosper’s biggest lenders who will share their personal strategies for lending including:

• What they look for in a listing
• What types of listings they steer clear of
• What pitfalls they avoid in lending decisions
• Their ‘secret sauce’ based on their personal experiences
