Edelweiss Financial Services NCD – Jan-2024 – Should you invest?
- These NCD’s offer high interest rates. Though banks have increased the FD interest rates these days, they are still low compared to the interest rates offered in these NCDs. These NCDs are rated as CRISIL A+/Stable by CRISIL Ratings and ICRA A+/Ratings Watch by ICRA Ratings. Also, secured NCD bonds are relatively safer compared to unsecured bonds while risk is not 100% eliminated.
- On the other hand, recently these long term ratings were downgraded and these can change in future too. In the last 5 years, company revenues have fallen and margins are shrinking, however, started regaining now from FY23. One should not forget about some of the NBFC companies defaulted NCD payments and some NBFCs delaying NCD re-payments in the last few years.
High risk investors who understand all these risk factors can invest in these NCDs.
