Invest in Justice with Nera Capital and Earn Up to 3.5% Cashback!  https://bondster.com/en/blog/invest-in-justice-with-nera-capital-and-earn-up-to-3-5-cashback/ Thu, 22 May 2025 09:30:27 +0000 https://bondster.com/?p=11409 Nera Capital, a leading litigation finance provider, is now live on the Bondster investment platform. With a fixed annual return of 14% and up to 3.5% cashback for new investments, this offering combines strong financial returns which are uncorrelated to traditional assets, while also having a meaningful societal impact. 

Why Invest with Nera Capital? 

Founded in 2011, Nera Capital is one of the original pioneers in litigation funding.  Specialists in funding law firms to pursue claims on behalf of individuals and small businesses against large corporations or public institutions, each loan is secured against an underlying legal claim, providing a structured and asset-backed approach to litigation funding. The firm has financed over 400,000 claims to date and built a robust track record with zero defaults to date. 

Nera operates in countries where judicial precedent is a key legal foundation, including the UK, Ireland, Germany, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, and the US, providing greater legal predictability. Unlike direct consumer lending, in the UK Nera lends to reputable law firms, regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, which are subject to rigorous due diligence and provide security over their assets. 

INVEST

Key Investment Features: 

  • Fixed 14% p.a. return 
  • EUR-denominated investments  
  • Redemption guarantee 
  • Invest via Nera Capital Funding 4 DAC  – ensures segregation and transparency 
  • Up to 3.5% cashback for new deposits (e.g., a €20,000 investment earns €500 cashback)  
  • Promotion valid until 30 June 2025 (minimum cashback: €2; paid the month after investment) *
Example: if you invest €20,000 as a new deposit, you get back 2.5%, i.e. €500 extra. The minimum amount of cashback to be paid is EUR 2. The cashback will be paid the month after your investment.

* This offer is valid until 30.6.2025 and applies to all loans from NERA Capital on the Bondster primary market. The “Cashback for Investment” bonus is conditional on investing in NERA Capital loans on the primary market until the end of the promotion. The condition for the “New Deposit Cashback” bonus is to deposit new funds and invest in NERA Capital loans on the primary market. The bonus will be paid by the end of the month following your investment. If you make multiple deposits or multiple investments in NERA Capital loans in a month, the cashback will be calculated for all of those investments and deposits.

Built-In Risk Mitigation:

Every claim goes through a strict selection process, focusing only on high-probability, high-merit cases and mirroring traits of claims that already have a proven track-record of winning. If a claim fails, an insurance policy covers the principal—meaning the investor does not bear the litigation risk. This risk is borne by the insurance company and the law firm. 

Legal and economic evaluations, budget monitoring, claim progression monitoring and possible compensation evaluations are carried out continuously through Nera’s proprietary claims management system which integrates directly with the system of the law firms and the claims undergo continuous and rigorous auditing by Nera’s experienced in-house audit team. 

How the Investment Structure Works?

Investors participate via Nera Capital Funding 4 DAC, a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) created solely for Bondster investors. This structure ensures greater portfolio transparency and investor protection. 

The process operates as follows: 

  1. Claim Finance & Administration Co. Ltd (CFAL), a sister company of the SPV, issues loans to law firms to fund litigation secured by the underlying individual claims. 
  1. CFAL sells the claims to Nera Capital Funding 4 DAC to raise investor capital. 
  1. CFAL acts as trustee, managing the repayment flow from law firms back into the SPV. 
  1. Investor returns are distributed from the SPV, while CFAL receives a predetermined management fee. 

This setup guarantees full transparency and professional oversight across every stage—from capital deployment to repayment.

ACEMA has a new product: Business Invest AI Operating Loans. https://bondster.com/en/blog/acema-has-a-new-product-business-invest-ai-operating-loans/ Mon, 19 May 2025 10:38:57 +0000 https://bondster.com/?p=11361 ACEMA Credit Czech, a.s., has developed a unique operating loan product for entrepreneurs called Business Invest AI. Read on to find out what benefits it brings to investors.

ACEMA is introducing a new type of non-purpose operating loan for entrepreneurs to the Czech market. These loans will start appearing on the Bondster investment platform on 19 May 2025. You can find them in the Current Investment Offer section under the ‘Business Invest AI’ preset filter.

The entire process of assessing a new loan relies on smart data analysis and modern technologies, including AI – fast, simple, and paperless.

ACEMA operating loans are used by sole traders and businesses as a fast and flexible way to finance operations or attractive investment opportunities. Compared to conventional banking products, they offer the distinct advantage of deferring principal repayments for up to six months. During this period, the entrepreneur pays only the interest, in a similar way to a conventional overdraft. Investors receive only interest payments during this period.

After the maturity period, the borrower has two options. They can either pay the full principal in one lump sum, or choose to spread the repayments over a further period of up to twelve months. In the latter case, the new loan is repaid in instalments and the investor receives a pro rata share of the principal, in addition to the interest.

These loans are not secured by assets. The applicant’s creditworthiness is verified through the Finbricks application from Komerční banka, which provides a direct view of business accounts. A scoring model based on real data helps evaluate creditworthiness and identify the risk of borrower default more effectively.

Business Invest AI loans can currently be invested in Czech crowns and will soon be available in euros. The minimum investment is CZK 100; there is no upper limit.

This new type of operating loan offers investors a product with a short investment horizon, stable yields, and a modern approach to risk management. For those looking for an efficient way to invest, it represents an interesting opportunity that deserves attention. If you have set up your own investment strategy, be sure to add the new Business Invest AI loans to your list of desired loans.

If you have set up your own investment strategy, be sure to add the new Business Invest AI loans to your list of desired loans.

ACEMA Credit Czech, a.s., is one of the most important and longest-standing partners of the Bondster platform. It has already financed loans worth more than CZK 1.4 billion through the platform. Bondster’s analyst team has awarded ACEMA the highest possible rating of A thanks to its long-term stability and transparency.

Adjustment of Limits on the Secondary Market: New Boundaries for Discounts and Premiums https://bondster.com/en/blog/adjustment-of-limits-on-the-secondary-market-new-boundaries-for-discounts-and-premiums/ Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:12:51 +0000 https://bondster.com/?p=11079 Changes are being made to trading limits on Bondster’s secondary market. The maximum discount when selling investments is now limited to 15% and the maximum premium to 5%. Previously, it was possible to offer a discount of up to 50% and a premium of up to 10%.

On the secondary market, Bondster platform users can trade loans that have already been funded on the primary market – they can sell them or purchase them from other investors. This gives them another opportunity to diversify their portfolio while increasing investment liquidity.

If an investor needs to access their funds before a loan reaches maturity, they can offer it for sale on the secondary market. When selling, the loan price can be set with a premium if the investment has attractive parameters, or with a discount to accelerate the sale. Buyers can thus obtain investments under more favorable conditions or with interest rates that are not available on the primary market.

INVEST

Details of the new limits:

  • Maximum discount when selling an investment is now 15%. Previously, it was possible to set a discount of up to 50%.
  • Maximum premium is now limited to 5%. The seller can increase the price by a maximum of 5% above the current value. Before the change, the maximum premium was 10%.

These changes aim to prevent extreme price fluctuations and create a more transparent and balanced environment for trading on the secondary market.

If you have any further questions or need advice, do not hesitate to contact our customer support at +420 283 061 555 or by email at info@bondster.cz.

INVEST

SWISS FUNDS emphasizes the use of modern technologies. The entire loan arrangement process takes place online and is fully automated. Algorithmic scoring plays a key role, processing data from various sources in real-time, including credit registers. This advanced system enables precise determination of credit limits and minimizes risks. Automation along with effective risk management significantly reduces operating costs, bringing more favorable conditions to clients. The company also excels in flexibility as it can adapt its services to different customer groups. The combination of speed, technology, efficiency, and adaptability ranks SWISS FUNDS among the leaders in short-term loans.

Clients particularly appreciate the easy loan arrangement and quick disbursement of funds. After the application is approved and the electronic contract is concluded, the money is immediately sent to the client’s bank account, with most banks crediting it within 5 minutes.

Two-factor authentication for enhanced investor account security https://bondster.com/en/blog/we-are-introducing-two-factor-authentication-for-greater-security-of-investor-accounts/ Fri, 29 Nov 2024 08:12:38 +0000 https://bondster.com/?p=10491 At BONDSTER, we prioritize the highest level of security for investment accounts. That’s why we have implemented two-factor authentication (2FA), an additional layer of protection for your login process. This significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access to investor accounts. Even if someone were to unlawfully obtain your password, they would still need to verify their identity through your mobile phone to access your account.

Why have we introduced two-factor authentication?

Two-factor authentication serves as a second layer of security, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access to your investment account. In practice, this means that in addition to your standard password, you will also need a one-time code generated by an authentication app on your mobile device. This system enhances security, particularly in cases where login credentials are compromised—without access to your phone, no one can log into your account.

How to set up two-factor authentication?

Enabling two-factor authentication is simple and takes only a few minutes. Existing investors who have not yet activated 2FA will be prompted to do so when logging into their investor account. Newly registered investors will see this prompt immediately after their first login.

  • Install the authentication app: Install the Google Authenticator app available both for Android and iOS. The application will generate one-time codes that you will need to log into your investor account. 
  • Enter the authentication code: After installing the authentication app, scan the QR code. This will generate a 6-digit code, which you will then enter in the Authentication code field. 
  • Confirmation: Once the two-factor authentication is enabled, you will receive a confirmation email. 

After successful activation, you will receive a 16-digit code. Make sure to keep it safe as this code will help you in case you need to re-link the authenticator app, for example, if you lose your phone.

ENABLE SECURITY

Is two-factor authentication mandatory?

Enabling two-factor authentication is optional but strongly recommended. This security measure helps to increase the security of your account and brings more peace of mind when using the platform.

Secure your investments on BONDSTER by enabling two-factor authentication. We do everything we can to keep your investments safe. Now, there is another tool to help you!

What to do if you lose access to the authentication app or your mobile phone?

If you lose your phone or delete the authentication app, we recommend first checking the recovery options offered by the app. If recovery options are unavailable, please contact our customer support using the contact details on our website. As soon as we verify your identity, we will disable two-factor authentication on your account so that you can set up the authentication app again.

More tips to keep your account secure

When enabling and managing two-factor authentication, we recommend being vigilant against phishing scams. BONDSTER employees will never ask you for your secret code. If you receive an email with information about enabling or disabling two-factor authentication which was not done by you, please contact us as soon as possible at +420 283 061 555. If you have two-factor authentication disabled, we recommend changing your password.
