Why you should not invest?
- There have been issues with some well rated companies like DHFL,
IL&FS where rating agencies suddenly downgrade the rating. This risk always existed but it has come to forefront in last few months - There are NCDs available in secondary market which have higher yields with similar rating. The problem is low liquidity and hence is difficult to buy in large numbers.
- You can also invest in high rated company fixed deposits
How to Apply?
You can apply online by 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.
In case you don’t want to do it online, you can download the application form from company site or Financial Institutions and submit to collection centers.
Recommendation:
- My recommendation is to invest some 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 good NCD issues are over-subscribed before the end date.
I am planning to invest in NCD.
I have two similar Questions.
1. What is about the Quality of various NCDs (Non-Convertible Debentures) of SERI Group (SREI INFRA & SREI EQUIPMENT FINANCE)? Why the Price for some of these 10 Yrs NCDs are falling like anything? Face Value of Rs. 1,000/- NCDs are selling at Rs. 820 / Rs. 800 or even lower. Is it advisable to buy 10 Yrs Maturity (say Maturity Date is in 2027 or 2028) NCDs of SERI Group or chances of Default is High?
2. What about various NCDs (Non-Convertible Debentures) of DHFL? Is it advisable to buy 10 Yrs Maturity (say Maturity Date is in 2028) NCDs of DHFL or chances of Default is Very High?
