Why you should not invest?
In case the property market remains subdued for longer time, the home loan business can suffer. This might lead to rise in NPAs and lower the rating of DHFL.
Early exit might not give you the right privce as the liquidity on exchanges for NCDs are low. So invest only if you can hold till maturity.
If you have Demat account apply through ASBA facility provided by banks. It’s the easiest way to apply and also avoids a lot of hassle in terms of KYC and paper work.
DHFL NCD is AAA rated with attractive interest rate, so the recommendation is to invest good part of your Fixed Income investment in this NCD Issue
You should always have diversified portfolio be it fixed deposit, NCD or equity investment
Its good idea to remain invested till maturity because liquidity on exchanges are low and hence you would get lower than market value
If you plan to invest in this issue, do it early as most NCD issues are over-subscribed before the end date.
