What are Savings Bonds and Should I Invest? 1 Credit
Select your learning mode
With an increase in inflation, how can individuals protect some of their cash or invested assets?
Against this backdrop, the federal government issued an I-Bond that individuals can use with rates tied to inflation.
I bonds are safe investments issued by the U.S. Treasury to protect your money from losing value due to inflation. Interest rates on I bonds are adjusted regularly to keep pace with rising prices. I Bonds pay an interest rate that is a combination of a fixed rate and an inflation rate. The inflation factor is set by semi-annual inflation figures based on CPI-U and it resets every six months in May and November.
In addition, series I bonds are exempt from state and local income taxes, which makes them an even better low-risk investment for investors who live in high-tax states and cities.
Join this CPE Finance webinar to learn more about I-Bonds and get a detailed breakdown of how one should invest in I-Bonds.
