Market-Linked Certificates of Deposit can be a smart solution in today’s environment.

With interest rates near historical lows, bonds and typical CDs no longer offer returns that can potentially outpace inflation.  Originally developed by Chase Manhattan bank in 1987, Market-Linked CDs (MLCDs) may be the solution you are looking for as one of the few principal-protected products still offering the potential for annual interest greater than 2.50%.
 
Potential benefits of MLCDs.
1.       Safety - Principal Protection.1
2.       Insurance - FDIC Insurance.2
3.       Potential - Historical interest paid = 2.75%.3
 
The Basics.
§  The issuing bank will return 100% of your principal at maturity.
§  Deposits are insured by the FDIC up to statutory limits, generally $250,000 per bank.
§  MLCDs pay interest each year based on the performance of stocks or commodities.4
§  Some Market-Linked CDs also offer minimum guaranteed interest (such as the one below).
§  If you need to sell your MLCDs prior to maturity the issuer will buy it back at the current market value.5
 
One Example.

§  Minimum interest will be at least 0.30% annually (GUARANTEED).
