Should you invest in  Indiabulls Consumer Finance NCD of July 2019?


Here are my few thoughts.

While company issues secured NCDs, we are seeing NBFC companies delaying re-payments to the existing NCD holders. This company NCDs are still offering highest interest rates as NBFC companies are finding difficult to get credit in India. Political statements about fraud is also negative news about the company. I would advise investors to stay away from such high risk NCDs now. You can invest in some of the good large cap funds or Consistent performing Multicap Mutual Funds that can provide high returns though not guaranteed.

Readers, do you still feel one can invest in these NCDs?
