The Index Powered CD
What is the Index Powered Certificate of Deposit?
This new product has similar features of a traditional bank CD, but combines the power of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, allowing the investor to explore potentially higher earnings in the equity market. Interest is paid at maturity based upon the performance of the S&P 500 Index.****
Product Summary (Features & Benefits):
- Market-Powered Earning Potential* - CD pays 100% of the S&P 500's average rate of return over 51-month CD term (previously, Index Powered CDs paid up to only 90%); earnings are tied to the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500®), allowing the CD to combine the upside earnings potential of an equities market investment with FDIC insurance protection.***
- Bank Guaranteed Return - protects you against market ups and downs; downside risk limited to a minimum 7.00% return (1.61% APY) when held to maturity (previous Index Powered CDs offered no guaranteed earnings);unlike almost any other conventional market investment, the Index Powered CD provides bank-guaranteed return of principal + a bank-guaranteed minimum return (when held to maturity)... and it's FDIC-insured***!
- CD pays whichever is GREATER: 100% of the S&P 500® return over the CD's 51-month term, or a minimum guaranteed 7.00% interest rate over that same period (equivalent to a 1.61% annual percentage yield); see product disclosure for complete details and return computation method.
- $1,000 minimum to invest, 51-month term (penalty for early withdrawal).
Why would I want to invest in the Index Powered CD?
Unlike investing in mutual funds or stocks (which do not guarantee your principal investment, let alone guarantee a minimum return,) the Index Powered CD offers BOTH bank-guaranteed return of principal AND a bank-guaranteed minimum return. In addition, there are no fees for participating in the CD.
Can I lose money with the Index Powered CD?
No, both your principal investment and a minimum return are guaranteed by the Bank, and insured by the FDIC (up to the standard $100,000).
Is it possible that I will end up with only the bank guarantee minimum return at the end of the 51-month CD term?
Yes, that is entirely possible. There is no way to predict how the
S&P 500 Index will perform over any given period in the future. Each investor must weigh the upside potential of this product against the downside risk (which in this case is limited to a bank-guaranteed minimum return).
Do you have additional information?
Before opening an Index Powered CD, you are required to read the Disclosure Statement. It is very informative and should be kept with your financial records.
Can I check my CD's performance?
Yes. Financial information will be posted daily at www.indexpoweredcd.com.
How do I open an account?
It's easy. Simply complete an account opening form provided by our Bank Representative at any of our three offices.
