The addition of call provisions to CDs creates reinvestment risk to investors. This is the risk that the time deposit may be retired early, forcing the investor to reinvest his or her proceeds in a CD paying lower interest. The amount of the call premium usually shrinks as the maturity date of a CD draws closer.
What does it mean when a CD is callable?
A callable certificate of deposit is a CD that contains a call feature where the CD can be redeemed (called away) early by the issuing bank prior to their stated maturity. … Because of the risk to investors that these are called in early, they generally pay a higher interest rate than traditional CDs.
What happens when my CD is called?
When a certificate of deposit (CD) matures, you get your money back without having to pay any early withdrawal penalties. The CD’s term has ended, so there are no bank-imposed withdrawal restrictions at maturity. You can do what you want with the money, but if you buy another CD, you won’t get the same interest rate.
