2.5-year IRA CD
A 2.5-year IRA CD (certificate of deposit) is a savings instrument held within a tax-advantaged Individual Retirement Account (IRA). The deposit pays a fixed rate of interest and remains in effect for a period of 30 months. Funds cannot be withdrawn earlier than the 30-month expiration without penalty. IRA CDs are insured by the FDIC for amounts up to $250,000 per depositor.
