Course Overview

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.

Major topics discussed in this CPE Fraud Course:

  • Obtaining Equity Loans
  • History of Savings Bonds
  • Redeeming Older Paper Bonds

The instructor presented in a very understandable manner and the materials were pretty extensive within the time allocated. This was also a topic of interest to me and one I did not know as much about.
