Types of Investment Income

The most difficult, and important, decision to make when investing your hard-earned money is which type of investment account should you choose. Certificate of deposits mature at a fixed rate on a fixed length of time, so you know what you’re getting up front. Mutual Funds may give a higher return, but are risky because they rely on the success of the stock market and the choices of the firm doing the investing on your behalf. Be sure to do your research on Chicago Banking Rates before you decide.

Common types of investment income accounts:

  • Certificate of Deposits (CDs)

  • IRAs
  • Savings Bonds
  • Stock and Mutual Funds
  • Money Market Accounts (MMAs)

No matter what type of investment you decide to make, or even if you’re just seeking more information to help you make the right decision, Chicago Banking Rates can help make that decision easier.

Best CD Rates, IRAs and Investments in Chicago

Chicago Banking Rates want to help you earn money, save money and put yourself in the best position for your own financial situation. If you have a savings account that you do not need for the rest of this year, it may be a good idea to invest into a 6-12 month CD and take advantage of the higher interest rates. You can earn up to 1% or more in a CD versus a savings account with a $5000 CD over 10 years; that can be over $500-$1000 more in interest payments with the higher CD rate.

Many local Chicago credit unions offer competitive CD rates, money market accounts and IRAs, as do the larger national banks. If you want to get the highest interest rates, be sure to thoroughly research banks with the best offers before you make your decision. Chicago Banking Rates has relationships with many banks to maximize the potential of finding the best rates.
