3) These NCDs are rated as Acuite AA-/Negative and CRISIL AA-/Negative. NCD instruments with this rating are considered to have a high degree of safety regarding timely servicing of financial obligations. Such instruments carry very low credit risk.
Why not to invest in Edelweiss Financial Services NCD?
Let us review some of the negative factors or risk factors in this NCD issue.
1) Company consolidated revenues are falling and its profits are shrinking in the last 5 years between 2018 to 2022. However, for 9 months ending Dec-22, the company showed some improvement.
2) Company Net NPA has reduced from 5.8% in FY21 to 1.93% as of 30-Sep-2022. However, there is no guarantee that the company can continue to maintain such low NPAs in future.

Is Edelweiss Financial Services NCD Safe for investment?
These NCD’s offer high interest rates. Though these days, banks have increased the FD interest rates; however, these are still low compared to the interest rates offered in these NCDs. These NCDs are rated as Acuite AA-/Negative by Acuite Ratings and CRISIL AA-/Negative by CRISIL Ratings. Also secured NCD bonds are relatively safer compared to unsecured bonds while risk is not eliminated.
On the other hand, credit ratings may change in future. In the last 5 years, company revenues have fallen and margins are shrinking. One should not forget about NBFC companies defaulting on NCD investor’s payments in the last few years.
High risk investors who understand all these risk factors can invest in these NCDs. However, investors can avoid long term NCD bonds of 120 months and opt for short to medium tenure bonds as we do not know how such companies would turn in the long term.
