Savvy investors keep at least a portion of their portfolio in fixed-income investments that are not subject to the ups and downs of the stock market. Banks call them CDs, we call them Share Certificates. Whatever you call them, they are a safe and comfortable way to get higher yields from your savings.
With a Certificate from Sandia Area, you deposit the money for a set period of time, usually between six months and four years, and in return, you receive a higher dividends rate than with a traditional savings account. The longer your term deposit, the more you earn. It’s a simple way to boost your savings and prepare for your financial future.
