Are CD Investments Risky?

All investments have some degree of risk. The primary risk associated with CDs is issuer default. However, a credit union can minimize its exposure by limiting total deposits at any one issuer up to the standard maximum deposit insurance amount. On-going monitoring of your portfolio assures that the standard maximum deposit insurance amount limit per institution is not exceeded.
