Building a CD Ladder for Return and Liquidity

Spreading deposits over multiple CDs with short-, medium-, and long-term maturities provides greater liquidity than a single long-term CD, while still earning a competitive rate of return. Once established, “laddering” has your CDs maturing regularly for immediate use or for re-investing into potentially higher-yielding, longer-term CDs. For more information, speak to a Brookline Bank representative.
