When default occurs
(Assumption: Chance of default = 3% | Chance of loss = 30% | Diversify to Similar SMEs)

WITHOUT DIVERSIFICATION,
your returns will decline drastically and can even become negative.

The more diversified you are, the more protected your investment. Even defaults hardly disturb your rate of return.

Reinvestment simply means using your capital gains to fund other SMEs while maximizing your returns!
