Edelweiss Financial Services NCD Bonds – July-2024 Issue – 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+/Watch Negative (placed on ‘Rating Watch with Negative Implications’). Also, secured NCD bonds are relatively safer compared to unsecured bonds while risk is not 100% eliminated.
On the other hand, last year these NCD credit ratings were downgraded and such ratings can change in future too. In the last 5 years, company revenues have fallen and margins were shrinking, however, started regaining from FY23 onwards. One should not forget about some of the NBFC companies defaulted NCD payments earlier 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.
