Should you invest in Chemmanur Credits and Investments NCD’s?

These NCDs offer high interest rates up to 11.5% and yield works out to 12.13%.  Even small finance banks are offering up to 8% interest rate only, hence it looks as attractive NCD bonds.

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 as of now.

  1. did Chemmanur Credits defaulted earlier NCD monthly Payment of coupon earlier , where can i see history of Chemmanur Credits every defaulted or delayed earlier pay outs

  2. As rightly analysed and summed up, one should refrain from investing in BBB rated companies. Safety of capital is more important than earning.
