How MLCDs Work (cont.) • MLCDs can be purchased in retirement and taxable accounts. • MLCDs are liquid: • If a depositor needs to sell MLCDs prior to maturity, issuers will buy them back from the client and “retire” them. • Depositors who sell prior to maturity may receive less or more than their original deposit. • Liquidation price will depend on a variety of factors including: Interest rates; time left until maturity; and the performance of the underlying stocks or commodities. • Market Linked CDs are FDIC Insured up to statutory limits (generally $250,000 per bank per account registration).
