Why to invest in Edelweiss Financial Services NCD?
Let us review the positive factors in this NCD issue.
1) This NCD offers attractive interest rates where investors can get interest up to 10.45% per annum.
2) It issues secured NCDs. Its secured NCDs are safe compared to unsecured NCDs. In case company gets wind-up/shut down for some reason, secured NCD investors would get preference in repayment of capital along with interest as those backed up by assets of the company. Hence it is safe to invest in such secured NCD options.
3) It generates consistent profits in the last 4 years (standalone). However, one should note that its consolidated nos show they incurred losses in FY20. Investing in consistent profit making companies would help NCD interest to get seamless interest payments and repayment of their capital.
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) The financial industry is becoming increasingly competitive. This creates significant pricing pressures for such companies to retain existing customers and get new business. Its growth will depend on its ability to compete effectively in this environment.
2) Current difficult conditions in financial markets can adversely affect its business, which could materially reduce its revenue and income.
4) Refer prospectus for complete risk factors.

Is Edelweiss NCD Safe for investment?
Investors might be thinking whether it is safe to invest in these NCDs?
These NCD’s offer high interest rates. These days banks have increased the FD interest rates; however, these are still low compared to these NCD interest rates. These NCDs are rated as Acuite AA-/Negative by Acuite Ratings and CRISIL AA-/Negative by CRISIL Ratings.
On the other hand, such credit ratings may change in future without any notice. One should not forget about NBFC companies defaulting on NCD investor’s payments in the last few years.
Like I indicated earlier, investors should always invest in AAA / AA / A rated NCDs if they are looking for safe NCD investments. Since it meets this criteria, high risk investors can invest in these secured NCDs and get high returns.
