Hence it is safe to invest in such secured NCD options.

Should you invest in Chemmanur Credits NCD Bonds of Oct-23 issue?
These NCDs offer high interest rates up to 11.5% and yield works out to 11.9%. These interest rates are attractive.
On the other hand, the company has a BBB credit rating, which is considered as a low credit rating. Also company profits are on declining mode. Investors should not forget about NBFC’s that defaulted investors on NCD payments and companies which have delayed or delaying NCD interest payments to its investors.
Like I always indicated earlier, investors should invest in A / AA / AAA rated NCD bonds, which are little safe compared to low credit rating bonds while the risk is not 100% eliminated.
Personally, I would like to avoid such NCD bonds for now.
