Sir, I want to invest Rs 3000000 in one account for 66 month monthly option , is it possible. Is it safe for me?
Arshad, There is no straight YES/NO answer. Read the risk factors indicated in the article which can help you to take the decision.
While 9.7% Edelweiss August 2021 NCD is having a rating of A+(negative) by ICRA offering 9.15% (monthly payout) for 60 months tenure; Muthoottu Mini Financiers having BBB+ rating from offering CARE offering 9.50% for 42 months (monthly payout). Edelweiss is a big entity as such, but, Muthoottu being in gold loan business therefore we are presuming that the NCDs are having gold as security (secured NCDs).
Tough decision.
I agree..though decision. is it good to invest 50-50 in both scheme? I want to invest 2 Lac.
Edelweiss – Series 5
Muthoottu – Series 4
Your suggestion is much appreciated.
If given a choice among these two, I would prefer to go for A rated bonds instead BBB rated bonds. Yes both are NBFCs and there is risk element.
