Term Finance Certificates
We recommend that the retiree should invest Rs. 100,000 in the Term Finance certificates.
TFCs are a good means of increasing the yield for the investor over the long term. They are
also beneficial since they are risk-free due to which there is a plausible justification for the
increase in the demand for TFCs over the recent years. However, the TFCs are an uncommon
mode of investment due to which the terms of the certificate must be carefully looked over. It
is recommended that our retiree should invest in a corporate term finance certificate.
The Term Finance Certificates for Pak Libya Holding Corporation have been recommended.
Pak Libya Holding Company has emerged as a joint venture between Pakistan and Libya
which was established in 1978. The company operates in energy, chemical, construction and
textile sector. It has a strong financial position in the country and has issues its latest Term
Finance Certificates on February, 2011. As per the annual report 2011, the issue is secured by
fixed charge of hypothecation on all present and future loans and lease receivables of the
Company ranking pari passu with prior charges. The issue is rated and carries a mark-up of
six months KIBOR plus 1.6% per annum payable on a semi-annual basis. The retiree can
invest in the TFCs with the maturity of 6 years starting now (2012). The maturity will be
reached on February, 2016.
Weightage: 20%
Risk Involved:
The risk is minimal as it is pegged against the KIBOR. The issue has a mark-up of six months
KIBOR plus 1.6% per annum. Hence, the market risk is evaded. The ratings of double A
denote a very low expectation of credit risk and there is a very high likelihood of timely
payments.
Return:
As per the data available on Business Recorder, the TFCs are priced at PKR 99.643 currently
which means that the following returns are expected from the invested volume:
100000/99.643
1003 * 0.4 = PKR 401 capital gain in February 2016.
