Things to Consider Before Investing in Bonds

Check Credit Ratings

Bonds are rated by credit rating companies to assess creditworthiness. High ratings indicate lower default risk.

Issuer's Financial Health

Fundamentally analyse the issuer's financials to assess its ability to pay interest and repay the debt obligations.

Secured vs Unsecured

NCDs can be secured or unsecured. Secured NCDs are asset-backed, enabling recovery if the company defaults. Unsecured NCDs are riskier.

Liquidity

Check the liquidity of NCDs to ensure they're tradable so you can redeem your NCDs before maturity in case of financial emergencies.
