Should you invest in Muthoottu Mini Financiers NCD of August 2019?


Few thoughts:

1) Though this company is issuing secured NCDs, the company revenues are falling year on year. Means in future company can incur high cost and lesser revenues and can turn to loss making company. In such case there would be a delay in repayment of interest to NCD investors.

2) We are seeing NBFC companies delaying re-payments to the existing NCD holders. This company is still offering higher interest rates for these NCDs as NBFC companies are finding difficult to get credit/loans in India. NBFC Sector is a high risk sector now for any investments.

Considering these factors, I would advise investors to stay away from such high risk NCDs now. You can invest in some of the large cap funds Mutual Funds that can provide high returns though not guaranteed.

Readers, do you feel these NCDs are worth investing?
