Sir
I used to watch your U tube uploads
Is it advisable to invest in this Navi Finserv NCD July 2023 or any other safe NCDs. I am 56 years old presently working in Nigeria
These are secured NCDs, hence somewhat safe compared to unsecured NCDs. However, consider risk factors in such NCDs. DHFL company defaulted NCD investors. SREI has delayed several times in repayment of money. There are several examples like this. Pls consider all these factors and take the decision.
