Certificates of Deposit (CDs)

In a well-structured portfolio, cash is as important an element as fixed income and other investment alternatives.  Yet all too often, investors do not spend as much time researching the potential returns on their cash as they do on other investments. Instead, they are content with low returns offered when superior alternatives may be available in today’s marketplace. As rates rise, this nonchalant approach to cash management can prove expensive.

Raymond James Bank certificates of deposit (CDs) provide an FDIC-insured alternative for the conservative portion of an investment portfolio when investors are able to lock in a rate for a few months or longer. With a rate of return at competitive interest rates, these CDs offer conventional benefits and a number of features not available through many investment firms or traditional banks.

• FDIC insurance

  Enjoy the security and peace-of-mind of knowing that your deposits are insured up to $250,000 per depositor by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).*

• Competitive rates

  Earn a competitive rate of interest.

• Flexibility in term and maturity date

  Set the term and maturity date according to your needs, from the minimum (3 months) up to the maximum available maturity (5 years). Your funds will then be available for a real estate closing, a college tuition payment, a future investment opportunity or another situation.

• Flexibility in principal amount

  Open a Raymond James Bank CD in any amount over the required minimum balance.

• IRA Flexibility

  Any penalty for early redemption is waived for all required minimum distributions from CDs held in Raymond James IRAs.

• Compounded interest

  Interest on Raymond James Bank CDs is compounded daily.

• Interest payment method and frequency of choice

  Interest can be paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. Clients may also elect to have interest paid at maturity for CDs with terms of one year or less. Choose to have interest credited to another Raymond James Bank account, recredited to the CD or, for clients who are affiliated with one of Raymond James Financial's broker/dealer subsidiaries, have it paid directly to your investment account custodied by Raymond James & Associates, Inc. ACH payments are available from the brokerage accounts, allowing for easy transfer to other accounts.

• Consolidated account information

  For clients of Raymond James Financial’s broker/dealer subsidiaries, Raymond James Bank offers the convenience of receiving consolidated brokerage and bank information on one statement, including updated Raymond James Bank CD details.
