Provision Fund coverage ratio
Throughout the COVID-19 period, we have sought to keep investors updated on our credit performance and our expectations regarding the Provision Fund’s ability to protect investors from loss.
The Provision Fund buffer has increased to $18.82 million as at 30 September 2020. Accordingly, the Provision Fund coverage ratio has now also increased to ~157% of expected credit losses.
We are pleased that despite the significant economic disruption caused by COVID-19, the Provision Fund has continued to compensate investors for all borrower late payments and defaults and the Provision Fund coverage ratio remains above 100%.
Note that the Provision Fund is not an insurance product nor a guarantee. You should read the PDS for more information about the Provision Fund.
