Superior Fixed Return Investments

SUPERIOR FIXED RETURN INVESTMENTS

If you are looking for ways to earn a regular income from fixed return investments, you would normally come across options such as Provident Fund (PPF), National Savings Certificate (NSC), Bank Fixed Deposits (FDs) and Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs). Each type has its own merits and limitations. For e.g., though returns from PPF are tax free, the investment in a year is limited to ₹1.50 lakhs and the money is locked in till the end of a 15 -year period.

Most people think of tax benefits, interest rates or security while considering such investments. However, an important decision that involves your hard-earned money should not be made on the basis of just one or two indicators. NCDs issued by corporates have gained significant attention from retail investors in the recent past and it is worth your time to study the various factors involved before making a well-informed decision.

What is a NCD?

Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) are debt instruments that companies registered under Companies Act 1956/2013 issue to raise money for their business. The period of these instruments is fixed and usually it ranges between 1-10 years. NCDs cannot be converted into equity shares at a future date. Buying equity shares of a company helps you become a shareholder of that company. However, in the case of NCDs, you are only a lender. As an investor in NCDs you can choose to receive a fixed interest regularly during the term of your investment. The other option is to choose to enjoy the benefit of compounding at a fixed rate and receive a lump sum on maturity. Further, Companies may offer an option to investors to withdraw the amount at a pre-determined date, called ‘Put Option’. Company may also reserve the right to redeem the NCDs at a predetermined date, called ‘Call Option’. NCDs may be listed on the Stock Exchange. This will facilitate easy sale or purchase of NCDs on any day and for quantities as small as one unit.
