Term Share Certificates (CDs)

A CD ladder is a strategy for investing in certificates of deposit (CDs) that involves dividing the money you want to invest into several equal amounts and investing those amounts in CDs with different maturity dates. This approach allows you to earn higher interest rates on longer-term CDs while still maintaining some liquidity through shorter-term CDs.

For example, if you have $10,000 to invest in a CD, you might divide it into four equal $2,500 investments and put one in a one-year CD, a second in a two-year CD, a third in a three-year CD, and a fourth in a four-year CD. This way, you can take advantage of the higher interest rates offered by longer-term CDs, but still have access to some of your money every year when the shorter-term CDs mature.

To find out if a CD Ladder strategy is right for you, or to open any Term Share Certificate, call 661.952.5945 or stop in at one of our branches.
