Should you invest in JM Financial Credit Solutions NCDs?

JM Financial Credit Solutions Limited is a relatively new company with a strong promoter background. The company reported revenues of Rs. 103.73 crore during FY 2014-15, Rs. 788.36 crore in FY 2016-17 and Rs. 959.93 crore in FY 2017-18. Profit after tax (PAT) of the company has grown from Rs. 48.80 crore in FY 2014-15 to Rs. 277.25 crore in FY 2016-17 and Rs. 328.29 crore in FY 2017-18.

Loan Book as on March 31, 2018

The company has been able to grow its loan book from Rs. 1,844 crore in FY 2014-15 to Rs. 5,658 crore in FY 2016-17 and Rs. 7,339 crore in FY 2017-18. As mentioned in the table below, 50.2% of its loan book is of project finance, 17.3% loan against property, 8.7% loan against shares, 8.9% project at early stage loans, 13.2% loans against land and 1.7% unsecured loans.

This issue has been rated ‘AA’ as compared to DHFL’s issue which is rated ‘AAA’. That is because DHFL is a much larger and stable company with a long history of being a loan financier as compared to JM Financial Credit Solutions. There is a coupon rate differential of just 0.50% p.a. for 5 years and 0.65% p.a. for 10 years. So, if somebody trusts the the JM Financial group and its management and wants to reap the benefits of its growth story going forward, then I think investing in its shares would be a better option rather than investing in its subsidiary’s NCDs.

Risk-averse and tax-exempt investors, however, can consider investing in these NCDs for a period of 38 months or 60 months, preferably with monthly or annual interest payment option.

  4. Thanks , for the article

    At 9.1% per annum, the post-tax earning for an investor in the highest tax bracket will be around 6.2%; for those in the 10% tax bracket, it will be around 8.16%.

  5. Hey Shiv,

    Wanted to know.. how did u calculate yield for monthly interest paying NCD in excel. The yield formula considered only upto quarterly payments.

    Thnx in advance

    1. Also, can u pls provide preferably BSE link to similar traded NCDs (same rating, similar coupon).
      Thnx and sorry for the long thread.

        1. Opened the above link, but did not find the CREDIT RATING (AAA etc) mentioned against each. Hence, makes it difficult to select safer opportunities. How should novice investors select? Will be grateful for any Bonds with good returns, having AAA recommendations available at a reasonable price.
          Please share similar link for NSE traded bonds.

  6. 1) For a 36/38 months tenure with annual interest option, which one between DHFL & JM is better from a risk-averse investor’s point of view?
    2) Have you any other information about forthcoming investment avenues/opportunities? Please do share in advance if possible, since in absence of information, Investors tend to lock in their money sometimes days before the OFFICIAL announcement.

    1. Hi S.K.,
      1. From a risk-averse investor’s point of view, DHFL is definitely better.
      2. As of now, I have no info about any new issue coming in the next 15-20 days.
