ZOPA investors outperformed the FTSE 100 in 2018, the peer-to-peer lender has claimed.The consumer lending platform compared the returns from investing £15,000 equally across a FTSE 100 exchange traded fund (ETF), a cash ISA or a Zopa Plus account last year.
By investing £5,000 in Zopa Plus, investors could have grown their money by up to 5.2 per cent or £260 in 2018, 13.5 per cent more than if they’d invested in a product tracking the stock market, Zopa said. The total value of the FTSE 100 fell by 12.5 per cent in 2018 – the worst performing year since the financial crisis in 2008.
