\ud83d\udcdd Quick Summary:<\/div>\n

<\/span>ALM mismatch is primarily a timing problem rather than a credit-quality problem. It describes a lender whose repayment obligations arrive faster than its loan collections, and it is why a well-rated NBFC can still face a liquidity crunch.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

A strong credit rating tells you an NBFC is likely to repay its bonds. It does not tell you whether the cash will be there on the day the money is due. That gap in timing is called an ALM (asset-liability management) mismatch, and it is one of the risks associated with NBFC bonds <\/a>and NCDs. It arises when a lender funds long-term loans with short-term borrowings and has to keep rolling them over to stay afloat.<\/p>
