《財富》水晶球:2014全球大事預測
????眾籌公司迎來大年 ????借貸俱樂部(LendingClub)將成功上市,應該不會出現(xiàn)太大的波折。但過不了不久,它將感受到一股強烈的反沖氣流。如果貸款違約率因經(jīng)濟不景氣而上升,貸款人現(xiàn)在獲得的天價回報將隨之大幅回落,從目前大約9%的平均收益率下挫至5%左右。傳統(tǒng)的貸款機構(gòu)也可能抱怨來自眾籌平臺的競爭壓力,他們會說這種點對點(P2P)的融資方式正在削弱美國公司經(jīng)典的構(gòu)筑渠道(即小企業(yè)貸款)的長期生存能力。但儲貸協(xié)會(S&L)和點對點融資平臺依然會安然度過今年,盡管后者將面臨更加嚴格的監(jiān)管。借貸俱樂部在2014年啟動IPO的概率是:85%。 |
????Crowdfunding's big year ????LendingClub will go public in a highly successful, drama-less event. Then will come the blowback. If loan default rates rise because of a stumble in the economy, then the sky-high returns that lenders are getting now may well tumble -- from the current average 9% or so to about 5%. Traditional lending institutions are also likely to grumble about the competition, claiming that peer-to-peer funders are crippling the long-term viability of that classic American company-builder: the small-business loan. But somehow both the S&Ls and P2Ps survive the year, albeit with increased regulation for the latter. Odds of a LendingClub IPO in 2014: 85%. |
