Should you invest in Muthoot Finance NCD in December, 2020?
Here are a few thoughts about such NCDs:
1) Banks are reducing the interest rates month on month and the interest rates are now between 4% to 5.5% per annum. Muthoot Finance is offering secured NCDs that offers high interest rates up to 7.75%. This would definitely attract investors who are looking to earn high income.
2) One should not forget about NBFC crisis (e.g. DHFL crisis) that started 12 quarters back. Your investment as well as interest could be at risk and there could be delays in repayment of your matured NCDs.
3) Don’t put your hard earned money in single NCD pond. Always diversify your portfolio by investing in multiple investment options.
4) If you are a high risk investor and willing to consider all the risks indicated above, you can invest a small portion of your portfolio in such NCDs.

Dear sir,
First of all thank you once again for such informative post.
I have a specific question on sbi healthcare opportunities fund. I have been invested in this fund since 2015 through SIP mode ( monthly 5k with 10% increase every year). Should I book a part of profits now, and park it ?? Should i hold? I don’t have any specific requirements of this money however, plz suggest.
Hello Shivani, SBI Healthcare opps fund invests in pharma/healthcare sector. This sector was under performer till precovid time, but zoomed post covid. I am still positive on this for 2021 first half. I would advice you to wait till you see a market correction of say 2,000 or 3,000 points and then exit.
