Unless otherwise specified, rates are expressed as yield to maturity (YTM).

This information is presented to better enable you to recognize the underlying differences between investments featured and the resulting relationships of the rates presented.

There is a risk/reward relationship to every investment. Put simply, this means the higher the rate, the greater the relative risk.

Unless otherwise noted, the investments shown are for a specific term. The rates displayed assume ownership until due date or termination date for the investment. Should your ownership cease for any reason prior to that due date, the amount of principal you receive may differ from that originally invested (market risk), and your return may differ from that shown (interest risk).

Diversification should be a major consideration when selecting investments.
