Far from the passive income myth, investing in crowdlending increasingly involves monitoring and seizing new investment opportunities as soon as they appear. To help investors, alongside manual investment, Loanch offers an automated solution called auto-invest.
Unlike manual investment where the investor searches for and selects each loan themselves, Auto-invest allocates capital without requiring investor intervention.
On the one hand, manual investment offers total control over each selection, on the other hand, Auto-invest automates the process. But these two approaches are not mutually exclusive: it’s possible to switch from one method to another depending on the strategy, or even combine them.
Auto-invest on Loanch
The Auto-invest system implemented by Loanch continuously analyzes the market using an algorithm that compares available loans with parameters defined by the investor. The system automatically makes investments as soon as a matching opportunity appears.
The investor benefits from the same regulatory framework and the same level of protection whether they choose to invest manually or automatically through Auto-invest.
The investor can create multiple investment strategies with different parameters to optimize their portfolio diversification. Loanch also offers two predefined automated strategies: ‘Go Short’ for short-term loans at 13.60% return and ‘Go Long’ for installment loans at 14.50%
The 6 Benefits of Auto-invest
Auto-invest offered by Loanch improves the crowdlending approach by automating time-consuming tasks while optimizing returns generated by each investor.
Significant time savings : The investor no longer needs to log in to check for market opportunities since the algorithm handles this 24/7.
Enhanced responsiveness : Auto-invest improves the chances of capturing listed opportunities, especially on highly sought-after loans where speed is essential.
Automatic diversification : Investments are placed according to the chronological order they appear on the market, creating organic diversification.
Automatic reinvestment : Repaid capital and generated income are automatically reinvested, maximizing compound interest.
Rapid fund deployment : Available funds are invested as soon as a loan matching the criteria appears, thus minimizing periods of inactivity.
Total flexibility : Settings can be modified at any time and Auto-invest can be activated or deactivated as the investment strategy evolves.
The 6 Limitations of Auto-invest
While Loanch’s Auto-invest offers numerous advantages, it’s important to understand its limitations for optimal use.
Loss of control : It’s impossible to individually examine each loan before investment, as allocation is automatic according to predefined filters.
Incorrect settings : Poorly defined parameters can lead to overexposure to certain risks or leave funds inactive for too long.
Delegated selection : The investor relies on Loanch for risk assessment and loan selection matching their criteria.
Limited diversification : Overly restrictive criteria can reduce portfolio diversification and result in missed opportunities.
Lack of nuance : Automatic criteria cannot capture certain specificities that a human could detect during detailed manual analysis.
Limited learning : Automation reduces exposure to how the market works and can limit the development of crowdlending expertise.
Auto-invest Setup and Settings
Auto-invest setup on Loanch follows three steps: accessing the dedicated page, defining investment parameters, and activating the strategy. Settings remain modifiable at any time to adapt to evolving investment objectives.
- Buyback guarantee : Selection of loans with buyback guarantee in case of delays.
- Country of origin : Selection of countries where investment opportunities originate.
- Interest rate : Expected returns range (minimum and maximum).
- Amount per loan : Minimum and maximum amounts to allocate per loan.
- Lending companies : Selection of lending companies with which to invest.

- Portfolio size : Maximum total amount to invest via the strategy.
- Loan duration : Selection of loan duration based on liquidity goals.
5 Optimization Tips
Auto-invest performance on Loanch depends not only on chosen parameters, but also on how the investor adapts and evolves their strategy over time. The following principles help achieve best results:
Using broader criteria : Overly strict filters can leave funds inactive for extended periods. Broader selections increase investment opportunities.
Raising limits : Setting higher limits per loan and per strategy accelerates capital deployment and reduces cash drag.
Using multiple strategies : Creating several strategies with varied parameters and different portfolio limits enables diversification and spreading risks.
Combining approaches : To optimize fund allocation, it’s advisable to combine auto-invest with manual selection of specific opportunities.
Staying informed : Even with auto-invest, following industry developments and market performance enables strategy adjustments and return optimization.
Should we use Loanch Auto-invest?
Loanch’s Auto-invest doesn’t replace manual investment but complements it effectively, and vice versa. Thus, investors can keep their portfolio active without daily monitoring, and switch to manual mode for specific opportunities.
Besides the volume of loans offered, Auto-invest effectiveness depends greatly on the parameters set by each investor. It’s an interesting tool but overly strict criteria can create risks by concentrating investments or leaving some funds inactive.
In summary, Auto-invest is strategic but its configuration requires careful consideration and regular adjustments based on results. Furthermore, the investor should always maintain a manual approach in parallel to keep control and continue to understand market trends.
