Understanding Certificates of Deposit
- - CDs offer higher rates than savings accounts for locking your money
- - FDIC-insured up to $250,000 per depositor, per bank
- - Early withdrawal penalties typically 3-12 months of interest
- - Longer terms usually offer higher APY rates
- - APY already includes compounding - it is the effective annual rate
- - CD laddering: spread deposits across multiple terms for flexibility
- - Consider inflation when locking money for long periods
