Why NOT to invest in Wint Wealth Gold Jun 2021 Covered Market Linked Debenture Bonds?

Here are few negative or hidden factors of this instrument.

1) The credit rating of the company is BBB (Stable) by Infomerics Valuations and Ratings is low. Such ratings can further fall without any advance intimation to investors. Investors should always invest in AAA rated bonds which are one of the safe investment options.

2) There is credit risk in this investment option. While these instruments are covered by pool of assets, in case the NBFC company goes bankrupt, the process of liquidation of these assets might take longer time. One should recall what happened to DHFL secured NCD bonds investors. They are still waiting for their investments to be paid back to them along with interest.

3) There is liquidity risk in this option. You cannot sell them in the open market or to Wint Wealth before maturity. However, Wint Wealth gives an option to withdraw and if new buyers are available, these would be transferred to them.

4) Remember that in case the lender goes bankrupt, investors would get their investment along with interest in maximum period of 24 months. However, investors can get interest of 13.5% XIRR instead of 11% in case of such event for the extra period.

5) There could be fraud risk in this covered bond. While it shows there are underlying collateral properties, but these might not exist. In such a case, investors can lose money.

  1. Hi Sureshji,
    Why the tax is 10% if held for year? Under what category is accounted for? Please clarify.

    Thanks

  2. Sir,
    Why one has to invest 10,167 instead of the original amount of 10,000 and whether my corpus/investment will be treated as 10,167 or 10,000 only. Essentially, it means that 11% return will be calculated on 10,167 or 10,000 only.
