Is Now the Time to Get a Certificate Of Deposit?

2022 Market Conditions to Consider

• The market is volatile. When the market fluctuates, your investments are at risk. You could make a lot of money, but you could lose money, too. A certificate of deposit is a much smarter investment strategy in a volatile market if you have funds to invest or save for emergencies, upcoming major expenses, or other close savings goals.
• Interest rates are increasing. As inflation continues to rise, so do interest rates for high-yield accounts. A higher interest rate. means a higher return when you cash out your certificate of deposit. For example, you can make 10-20 times more in interest with a certificate of deposit compared to a traditional savings account.
• Certificates of deposit have guaranteed returns. Unlike investments in stocks, certificates of deposit are FDIC-insured for up to $250,000. That means you'll never lose your investment even as the market rises and falls.
• Your goals matter. High-yield accounts are a sound investment solution when you have a specific goal in mind. For example, a different type of investment strategy might make you more money if you want to invest money for returns in 10-20 years. But if your goal is more specific, such as wanting to purchase a car or fund a wedding, and you won’t want or need the money for the next few months or years, now is the time for a certificate of deposit.
