Even though current interest rates are low, many investors are turning to CDs as they are trying to find a balance between capital preservation and capital growth. There are many different types of CDs, and their rates vary with the maturity dates and amount of money invested, thus you can always find a CD to consider for your investment portfolio and individual risk tolerance.

CDs have many benefits: CD rates tend to be higher than money market savings rates; they are liquid investments; your capital is preserved; and CDs are FDIC insured. Read our articles below to learn more about CDs.
