The issue of secured and redeemable NCD (non-convertible debentures) from JM Financial Products Limited is currently open for subscription and closes on March 9, 2020, with an option for both extension and closure.
This NCD with pre-tax yield of up to 10% per annum looks appealing in the current scenario. This is because retail inflation has surged to 7.4% in December 2019, the highest since July 2014. Moreover, interest rate in the economy is falling and other fixed income options including bank deposits are not close to the high returns offered by this NCD.
So, if your clients have a moderate credit risk appetite and yearn for higher returns that can beat current high inflation rate on post-tax basis, you should consider JM Financial Products Ltd. NCD – Tranche III issue.
Here are the details of the issue to help you take a call on this issue.
