Assessment:
- NCDs are taxable, thus the return get reduced by individual’s Tax bracket.
- TDS is not deucted if NCDs are held in Demat form.
- The issue of DHFL NCD has almost same interest rate as the recent issue of Edelweiss Retail Finance NCD which has recently listed but DHFL NCDs enjoy better credit rating of AAA
- Some investors are able to get upfront brokerage from brokers in range 1% which increases the YTM (Yield to Maturity).
- The newly listed NCDs of Edelweiss Retail Finance NCD have been able to trade at par or about 1-1.5% above.
- I do not intend to apply in DHFL NCD issue as I already have significant exposure to earlier NCDs issued by DHFL in two tranches in 2017. If I were to park some money in these NCDs I would prefer 3 year annual option as interest rates could harden over the long run and Generally I would not prefer to invest for very long periods with private companies in their NCDs.
- Investors looking for a fixed interest income can get better rates than Banks FDs in these NCDs and can invest preferably in 3 year NCD.
- Forthcoming JM Finance NCD (in May end) are rated lower (AA) but are expected to offer higher interest rates.
