Selecting a brokered CD through Trade Prime Station can help you take advantage of competitive rates from a broad range of issuers and provides access to advanced tools and professional guidance.

Certificates of Deposit (CDs) are savings certificates that entitle the owner to receive interest on their deposit. Investing in a CD lets you lock in a set interest rate for a specific time period. The CDs available to you through TD Trade Prime Station are called brokered CDs.

Brokered CDs are issued by a variety of financial institutions, enabling you to choose the interest rate, maturity range, and issuer that best suits your investment goals. They are similar to CDs purchased directly from a bank except they can be traded on the open market. Brokered CDs sold prior to maturity in a second market may result in loss of principal due to fluctuation of interest rates, lack of liquidity or transaction costs.

More Choices - Buying a CD through TD Trade Prime Station gives you access to a wide variety of issuers, so you can survey the marketplace for the CD that fits your investing goals.

FDIC Protection - CDs offered through TD Trade Prime Station are FDIC-insured up to $250,000 per depositor per insured bank, including any interest accrued. Your CD investments are insured up to the FDIC limit for each depositor at each issuing institution.

Knowledgeable Support - No matter what level of support you need, our Fixed Income Specialists are available to help.

Reliable Income: CDs are designed to provide a steady and predictable income over the time period you choose.

Affordable Minimum Purchase: CDs are available for an initial investment as low as $2,000.

Estate Planning: Most CDs offer estate protection which allows the investment to be redeemed at face value upon the death of the holder.

Selling Before Maturity: If you need to sell a CD before its maturity date, the sale proceeds may be more or less than your initial investment.¹

Call Features: Some CDs may include a provision that allows the issuing bank to "call" or redeem the CD prior to maturity at a given price.

FDIC Coverage Limits: CDs are insured up to the FDIC limit per depositor per institution. If the total amount you have in deposit obligations at a specific institution exceeds the insurance limit, your deposits may not be fully protected.

Credit Risk: Since CDs are a debt instrument, there is a risk that the issuing institution will default. FDIC insurance helps mitigate that risk.
