PFC Bond Listing

Tax Saving Mutual Funds Online

Current open Infra Bond Application form

 

THE premium listing that the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) bonds got in the markets last week has stepped up the expectations and set the benchmark for the bonds of Power Finance Corporation (PFC) that will list in a day or two. Like the NHAI bond, which listed at a 3 per cent premium on its debut last Wednesday, expectations are riding high for the other tax-free bonds that raised funds recently, including PFC, IRFC (Indian Railway Finance Corporation) and Hudco (Housing and Urban Development Corporation) to have a premium listing.

We expect most of the recent bond issues to list at a premium, since the pricing at the time of issue was also at a similar level. There may be a 5-7 basis point high or low, that too based on the frequency of these companies coming to the market. For instance, NHAI has not been coming to the market quite often, whereas, PFC has been around more frequently to raise funds.

NHAI raised Rs 10,000 crore through a tax-free bond issue, while PFC raised over Rs 4,000 crore.


Both issues promised annual tax-free returns of 8.2 per cent for the ten-year bonds and 8.3 per cent for the 15-year bonds. The 10 year bond of NHAI, the N1 series, closed at Rs 1,032 in the NSE on Monday, while 15-year bond, the N2 series, closed at Rs 1,038.

Bonds of IRFC, Hudco will take some more time to list, and the premium will depend on the interest rate scenario then, Manglunia says.

However, Rural Electrification Corporation (REC), whose Rs 4,000 crore tax-free bond issue is expected to open next month, may not meet with a fervent response.

REC's issue will come at a time when there would be expectations of another CRR (cash reserve ratio) cut and interest rates will be expected to soften. We

expect the REC issue to have a reduced coupon rate and also may not get this kind of a listing.

Bond markets perform conversely to the interest rate movement. Since the interest rates peaked in the recent times, the bond issues also received excellent response from the corporate investors and high-networth individuals (HNI).


Also, we do not get to see such tax-free bonds by public-sector companies every year, which make them much more attractive, experts say.

In most of the issues, the institutional investment and the HNI portion were  oversubscribed, while the retail portion was barely subscribed. For instance, NHAI's bond issue was a Rs 10,000 crore issue, but the retail portion of the bond was only Rs 600-700 crore, and even that was not adequately subscribed despite a good overall subscription because of lack of awareness among the public, experts point out.

Unlike equity markets, prices in the bond markets are more or less stable. It changes with a change in the interest rates or credit quality. The prices are stable and investors are comfortable holding on to their investments.

Understanding Your Cibil Credit Information Report

   WE ARE all familiar with the anxiety and uncertainty that we feel when applying for a loan. After all, it's the lender who decides whether we can own our dream home, our first car, or whether our children can pursue higher education. In a nutshell, a better life depends on the lender's decisions.    While other factors do play a part in the lender's decision, the Cibil Credit Information Report ( CIR ) plays a crucial role in a lender's decision to approve a loan application.    Previously, lenders would treat all loan seekers equally. Each applicant, if approved by the lender's internal credit policy, would be charged at the same interest rate for a particular loan size and purpose. The lenders would charge a higher interest rate to all the borrowers, in order to compensate for the possible default of a small portion of the loan disbursed. In other words, it's like a professor (the lender) punishing an entire class (borrowers) for the mischief played b...

Financial Planner - Do Integrity & Dependability Check

How does one can find value proposition when it comes to financial planning, which is a new area? There is nothing to benchmark it with. So, how does one figure what is the right fee to pay? Look at what you want. You probably want to hire a financial planner to get a blueprint for your life ahead and want to know how to achieve your goals. For creating a tailor-made financial plan, our experience is that it takes 25-30 man-hours in all. Taking an average of Rs 500 per hour for hiring the services of a qualified financial planner like one who has a CFP(CM) certificate, the fee would come to Rs 12,500 to Rs 15,000. But the per-hour rate can be higher or lower depending on the process adopted, the experience and expertise of the planner, etc. That's how planners arrive at their fee. Now, is that value for money? For that you need to find out what benefits you would derive by engaging them. The financial plan will give you clarity, direction and pathway to achieve your goals. Th...
