9.50% Mahindra Financial Services NCD – Jan’19 – Should you Invest?
Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services Ltd, a leading rural non-banking financial company has come out with public issue of non-convertible debentures (NCD) offering up to 9.50% interest rate. The issue opens on January 4, 2019 and closes on January 25, 2019.
There are 4 options of investment in Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services NCD.
Company shall allocate and allot Series I NCDs wherein the Applicants have not indicated their choice of the relevant NCD Series. Also Series I to III are secured while Series IV is Unsecured.
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.
The present Tax Free Bonds are offering yields up to 6.5% in secondary market, which is better investment for People in highest tax bracket.
Series IV NCD is Unsecured which means it’s not backed by any company asset and in case company shuts down you would be last in queue of lenders to receive money
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.
