Transition period
Issuance of the license marks the beginning of 6 months transition period ending in March 27, 2022 within which VIAINVEST will gradually shift from selling claim rights to listing asset backed securities. For better user experience VIAINVEST intends to maintain the previous user interface as much as possible. During and after this period, VIAINVEST’s place for the provision of the services (both for investments in claim rights and asset backed securities) will be in Latvia, irrespective of an investor’s country of origin. We will be passporting our investment services across the EU/EEA only after this transition period and after the receipt of the respective authorization from the FCMC.
How it works with claim rights:
Borrowers request funding (loans) from the VIA SMS Group and its daughter companies. Active contract is then published on VIAINVEST website making it available for investment. Each investor has full control of how much he wants to invest into a specific loan.
How it works with claim rights:
Borrowers will request funding (loans) from the VIA SMS Group and its daughter companies. Loans from each loan originator will be combined into pools of loans. After the securitization process, all securities linked to a certain pool of loans will be published on VIAINVEST platform with the same ISIN (International Securities Identification Number provided by Nasdaq Riga). This makes them available for investment and from this point each investor has to decide on how much he wants to invest into a specific pool of loans.
VIAINVEST guarantees a transparent investment environment and full investor support at any time. More information about investing risks and security could be found here

*Two component compensation model: interest of 8% p.a. on monthly basis plus interest paid at maturity of the agreement, providing investor with yield to maturity range from 8% to 12% p.a. Interest paid at maturity derives from project Capitalization Rate and Real Estate sales price as follows:
Calculation example:
| Capitalization Rate | Sales price | Yield to maturity |
|---|---|---|
| 5,75% | < 38 093 071 € | 8% |
| 5,25% | 38 093 071 € - 41 720 983 € | 10% |
| 4,75% | 46 112 665 € < | 12% |
Capitalization rate indicates the expected rate of return an investor is likely to achieve on an investment property. The rate is calculated by dividing net annual operating income by the value of the property and multiplied by 100 to get the percentage.
