When picking the best 10-year CD, consider more than the interest rate.

“Weigh factors such as minimum deposit requirements, fees and early withdrawal penalties,” said Michael Ashley Schulman, chief investor officer at Running Point. “Fees and penalties can easily water down the interest you earn.”

When picking the best 10-year CD, consider more than the interest rate.

Some banks and credit unions may offer promotional rates for new customers or for a limited time; therefore check if the CD has a promotional rate that may change.

Also note that regardless of how long you lock up your money for in a CD, you have to pay #tax on any CD interest the year it was earned💸. For example, on a 5-year or 10-year CD, you’ll pay taxes annually for quite some time on income that you can’t access! Therefore, don’t forget to consider the flexibility and security of T-BIlls and Treasuries💰

If you are unsure about which CD term to choose or investment to make, consider seeking advice from a multifamily office or fiduciary who can provide you with personalized recommendations based on your financial goals and risk tolerance.
