Certificate Ladders: Enhancing Flexibility in Investments
By Justice Federal

Share certificates have long been a favored investment option for those looking for a secure and steady place to grow their funds. Certificates typically offer higher annual percentage yields (APYs) compared to most traditional savings accounts and provide fixed earnings over a set period (term), ensuring a dependable income stream. However, certificates require investors to lock in their funds for the entire term, limiting flexibility. This is where certificate ladders come in.
