Should you invest in Muthoottu Mini Financiers NCDs Jan-2021 issue?
Here are a few thoughts about such NCDs
1) Currently banks are providing reduced interest rates which are between 4% to 5.5% per annum. Muthoottu Mini Financiers is offering secured NCDs that offers high interest rates up to 10.25%. This would attract investors who are looking to earn higher fixed income.
2) These NCDs are rated as IND BBB Outlook Stable which are considered as low. One should always invest in AAA rated NCDs or fixed deposits which can provide some safety to their investments.
3) One should not forget about NBFC crisis (e.g. DHFL crisis) that started a few years back. Your investment as well as interest could be at risk and there could be delays in repayment of your matured NCDs.
5) For me, this NCD issue is a VERY HIGH RISK. I would advise investors to stay away from such NCDs as of now.
