What are the consequences of a write-off?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, events in the debt space have generated confusion aplenty lately! It also makes it harder for you to judge the impact or the risk in your fund. So here&#8217;s clearing up the confusion so you understand what&#8217;s going on with your fund.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The basics<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A debt instrument has a credit rating. Rating can be upgraded to a better rating or downgraded to a poorer one. When such rating changes happen, it affects the market value of the debt instrument.\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-15680 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/downgrade-shutterstock.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/downgrade-shutterstock.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/downgrade-shutterstock-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/downgrade-shutterstock-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An upgrade leads to a rise in the bond\u2019s value.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A downgrade causes a fall in value. The value change may be market-driven if the bonds are traded or calculated by rating agencies if not.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"blog-highlight\" style=\"clear: both; background: #ff6600; border: none; width: 60%; text-align: center; box-shadow: 0 5px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);\"><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\" https:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/content\/jsp\/investor\/MFBuy.do?actn=add&amp;SchemeExplorer=T&amp;method=showScreen&amp;bSchmId=611&amp;from=main&amp;schemeId=611&amp;?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=referral\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <span style=\"color: #fff; font-weight: bold;\">Open a free-for-life FundsIndia account <\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<h3>Downgrades<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/mutual-funds.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mutual fund<\/a>, whether debt or equity, needs to reflect the market value of its instruments every day to arrive at its NAV. This is, of course, because the NAV should show what the portfolio is worth today. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a debt instrument that a fund holds is downgraded, the fund has to mark down its value (or write-off) to show the new value. The extent of the markdown depends on the extent of the downgrade. The fund\u2019s NAV reflects this markdown and thus clocks a sudden 1-day fall. The steepness of the fall depends on the fund\u2019s exposure to the downgraded paper. Where exposure is higher, the fall is higher.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But remember that a fall reflects the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">market<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> value of the bond. This is important. Why? Because a downgrade is not a default. If the company services its debt, the fund holding that debt hasn\u2019t lost anything in reality. So, when the fund receives payment on the instrument, it will write back the value so received. The \u201cbook\u201d loss will reverse as there is no actual loss. Such a write-back sends the NAV up sharply. The extent depends on the amount of payment received. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This apart, rating agencies can upgrade the paper too. As this will increase the bond\u2019s market value, the fund will be able to add back the markdown it took earlier due to downgrade. The result? NAV rises. Again, the extent depends on how much the upgrade was.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Defaults<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Loss or markdown becomes real only when the debt instrument fails to pay or the fund exits the paper before receipt of dues\/ rating upgrade. Such an event is called a default. Until then, the loss is on books and not actual.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The recent DHFL development is a bit more complicated. Take the ratings themselves. Ratings from BBB- to AAA are termed investment grade and those from BB+ and below are non-investment grade. In March, SEBI drew up a framework for debt funds in valuing debt papers downgraded to non-investment grade after the IL&amp;FS fiasco exposed the gaps in treatment of such situations. Up until then, there were no clear rules.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This dictum came into play lately. DHFL missed paying interest and principal repayment on some NCDs due on June 4. It had a 7-day window as per its agreement to make this payment. But because DHFL failed to pay on the exact due date, funds had to write down the value of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">all<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> their DHFL papers by 75-100% as per AMFI guidelines. That is , funds wrote off all their DHFL papers irrespective of whether they were due or not. NAVs fell sharply as it pretty much amounted to writing off an entire instrument. Rating agencies, too, immediately downgraded DHFL\u2019s papers to D (default) rating due to the skipped payment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Repayment<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DHFL, though, used its 7-day window and met payments. So, funds that held NCDs where interest or repayment was missed on June 4 were able to add back the amount received. NAVs consequently rose on a 1-day basis, to the extent of payment received. If DHFL continues to meet commitments, funds will be able to gradually reverse the write-off. Over time, if rating agencies upgrade DHFL, funds will again be able to write back a larger portion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each downgrade or default is different. It\u2019s important to assess the development before reacting to NAV drops or reacting to the presence of troubled debt instruments in a fund\u2019s portfolio. Sometimes, just holding on to the fund for a time can well reverse the loss. True, it is hard to see your returns tank suddenly in a day. But a knee-jerk reaction has the potential to make your losses worse.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 90%; margin: auto;\">\n<div style=\"float: left; background: #ff6600; border-radius: 5px; padding: 10px; width: 40%; border: none; text-align: center; box-shadow: 0 5px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);\"><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\" https:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/content\/jsp\/investor\/MFBuy.do?actn=add&amp;SchemeExplorer=T&amp;method=showScreen&amp;bSchmId=611&amp;from=main&amp;schemeId=611&amp;?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=referral\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <span style=\"color: #fff; font-weight: bold;\">Open a free-for-life FundsIndia account<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"float: right; background: #ff6600; width: 40%; padding: 10px; border-radius: 5px; border: none; text-align: center; box-shadow: 0 5px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);\"><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/content\/jsp\/advisor\/AdvisorAppointmentAction.do?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=referral\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <span style=\"color: #fff; font-weight: bold;\">Talk to an Advisor <\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, several debt funds dropped significantly on a 1-day basis, because of write-offs due to default.
