NCDs are financial instruments used by corporations to raise capital through public issues. In simple terms, NCDs are debt instruments with a fixed tenure.
There are two types of NCDs:
A secured NCD is backed by company assets. If the company fails to pay, investors can claim the payment through the liquidation of assets.
An unsecured NCD is not backed by company assets, increasing the chances of risk.
