As per offer documents, AIL has no listed peers to compare with.

Conclusion / Investment Strategy

AIL is in a highly competitive field of business. The issue is fully structured (based on issue expenses), and may sail through, but considering inconsistency in financial data and exorbitant pricing, there is no harm in giving this issue a miss.

Reviewer recommends Avoid to the issue.
