As investors search for risk mitigated yielding investments, the ZINC Income Fund continues to perform well. In third quarter 2022, the fund delivered an annualized return of 8.32%, its highest quarter since inception. The increase in return to investors was fueled by a 1% increase in loan rates during the quarter. This rate increase should lead to higher fund returns over the next year as lower rate loans are replaced with loans that reflect the rate increase.
The fund remains well diversified with 99 loans, 81 of those in California, an average loan size of $300,000, a 64.27% average loan to after repaired value and an average borrower FICO score of 715.
