A Certificate of Deposit (CD) ladder is an investment strategy that involves dividing the amount of money to be invested among several CDs with varying maturity dates. This staggered approach offers a balance between the typically higher returns of long-term CDs and the liquidity of short-term CDs.
By creating a CD ladder with FNC Bank, investors have regular access to a portion of their funds as one of the CDs matures at a predictable interval. For example, if you have $5,000 to invest, you might spread it across a 1-year, 2-year, 3-year, 4-year, and 5-year CD. Each year when one CD matures, you have the option to reinvest that money into a new CD with a longer term at the current interest rate, which can be beneficial if rates have risen.
This strategy can help mitigate the risks associated with interest rate fluctuations while potentially earning more interest than you would from a traditional savings account or a short-term CD alone. CD ladders are a good investment tool for savers who want a predictable, stable return on their money.
