  1. An investor wouldn't need the nitty gritty of each and every NCD that exists in the market. In my opinion it is better to have just one article that gives comparision of top 5-10 NCDs. If any new NCD comes up, analyze and update the article if it makes to the top list. This way it would be easy and helpful for an average investor to invest in the best NCDs.

    The same approach could be followed other instruments such as bonds, mutual funds, stocks etc.

    1. Agreed Satish. But every day we are seeing a new investment scheme from companies, hence investors are looking for detailed analysis. I tried your method earlier, but people are looking for more info.

  2. I am looking for your analyses comments about best secondary market NCD available at current market. And thanks for your valuable information about investments.

     

    1. Srinivas, Investing in mutual funds for 3 years would be too short. If you still want to proceed, you can invest in debt mutual funds or balanced mutual funds. You can look for SBI Dynamic bond fund or IDFC bond fund in debt funds category. In balanced fund, you can look for ICICI Balanced fund or HDFC Balanced funds

  3. Hi Sir,

    i wish to invest 1 lac in IIHFL NCD as high interest rate as compare to FD. but  i was seen in internet sites

    1) Many user not got interest amount timely and

    2) If they want to trade in market, less buyer are avalilble as comapre to Shirram finance

    So Please suggest would i buy this NCD or wait for others.

    Also Please suggest me where i shall invest market NCD as you said that their many NCD available in secondary market at lower price.

    1. Manish, We could see the late payment of interest by many companies. Yes no doubt Shriram finance NCD was a good buy. You should always look for high rating NCD + secured NCD. Here this company NCD is secured, hence even if there is delay in interest payment, you WOULD get it. There are many NCD’s available in secondary market at discounted price where I am yet to analyse. I would do that in next 1-2 weeks.

  4. Hi Suresh,

    The post tax returns seem to be reversed. If you are falling in 10 % tax bracket, your post tax returns will be 11.52 x 0.9 = 10.33 %

    Similarly if you are in 30 % tax bracket, your post tax yield will be 11.52 x 0.7 = 7.96 %

    Please check it up.

    Arun
