What are CD Rates and the Benefit of Investing on It!

June 23rd 2009 05:39
In this economic turbulence condition, most of the people are choosing to keep their money in the bank, instead of using it to invest in stocks or bonds.

Based on the latest study research, 62 percent of the general population who have been taken the survey mentioned that it’s wise choice to put the money in banks, at least they can earn some interests from it, although the interest rate is considerably low!

Well, some of you might be didn’t notice that there is a term of investment, which is doesn’t require too much of capital fund, but it’s the profit is much better than the saving account’s interest rates!


For your information, the certificate of deposit, or normally known as ‘CD rates’ is a time deposit. CD rates are a little bit different from saving accounts, where is mostly has a fixed term and interest rate. The fixed term can be differing from three months, six months, one yea, three years or five years!

However, there’s a requirement for investing in CD. Once the investors have been invested in a particular CD, he/she need to wait for the CD reaching its maturity date. After it, the investors can withdraw all the money alongside with the accrued interests together!

Basically, the rates of CD are mostly depended by two factors: The total length of time until the maturity date of one CD, and the current interest rate. The interest rate of CD is proportionally related with the length of time investment. This means, the longer you putting the money in one CD, then the interest rate is getting higher as well!

However, you must keep in your mind that CD rates can be increased or decreased over time. That is one thing we can sure about CD is, you won’t have the risk of losing your money, as you did in stocks or bonds investment! As a result, it’s a safer choice to invest in CD.

Good info Wilson, but I think, at the moment, cash is king and people are becoming more cautious and interested in protecting their money, not too concerned about low returns, it's better than losing the capital.

Well, Katyzzz. That's why we should invest the money in CD, rather than stocks/bonds. As CD have been insured by the bankers up to US$100,000 per depositor, which to make sure the investors won't lose the principal!
