Assessment:
- NCDs are taxable, thus the return get reduced by individual’s Tax bracket.
- TDS is not deducted if NCDs are held in Demat form.
- Manappuram Finance has a track record of stable growth and has maintained good quality of assets.
- NCD are safer than Fixed deposit but carry the risk that the issuer may not be able pay the interest payments. This is not normal but can happen under extraordinary conditions.
- Events surrounding the Default by IL&FS and subsequent pressure in equity market on HFCs and NBFCs accompanied by considerable panic in debt market related to NCDs of DHFL, India Bulls group and higher yields for other NCDs has considerably shaken Investors confidence in Corporate NCDs. However Muthoot & Manappuram Finance in my view are better placed due to underlying Gold Loan business.
- Even though Manappuram Finance business is against Gold Loans which is better protected than other HFCs and NBFCs, some is still advised and those with not much exposure to NCDs can consider to apply in the Manappuram Finance NCD issue.
- My preference is is for shorter duration options in Manappuram Finance NCD issue as interest rates could harden over the long run and many times company’s profitability in the long run cannot be predicted.
