I live in Europe and I like the P2P lending asset class - I mean platforms like Mintos, Envestio, Flender, EstateGuru, Viainvest, Crowdestor, Lenndy, and so on. I think some of them might accept Canadian investors. I'd say that these platforms are even riskier than stocks because you never know when a platform might get into difficulties, but that's why I diversify over many of them, and so far I have had more than 10% p.a. returns on all of them, even more than 15% on two of them. I have about 63% in P2P lending and the rest in stocks. But to be fair, my stache is still small and I can afford to be risky.
