With 'softer' assets like pure financing, coming into more destabilized conditions; harder assets are more preferable in investments. One of the mainstays in hard assets is real estate; and this institution is far more vested in real estate financing, as opposed to outright ownership in ratio to financing. If they had a solid commitment to baseload energy competition to fossil fuels; they'd get more of my attention.

I'd have to agree with other comments. You can get 5% from more reputable banks - don't think the extra quarter percent is worth the risk

Can you please rephrase/explain that in a way that a dummy unfamiliar with the finance world (me) would understand. Thanks.

Fair enough, but with FDIC insurance, does it really matter which financial institution your money is with?
Checking out the banks that provide a 5% return, the only one that stands out as more reputable is Barclays. They have a similar penalty of 3 months' interest for early withdrawal.

I'd rather get a 3 year multi year guaranteed annuity from athene or Lincoln Financial or some insurer that's backed by a massive financial institution which won't collapse and collect 5.5% principal protected coupon which is basically a certificate of deposit from an insurer versus a CD from one of these fly by day no name banks after what's happened during the past week

You have to search through your brokerage for Brokered CDs, You're buying other bank CDs through your brokerage.

Be sure it's non-callable.

Isn't the 5.45 for 6 months at schwab marked as Primary CD?

I read the investor doesn't get the interest for primary CDs, instead it goes to the bank/brokerage.

Exactly what I was goi g to say. Steer clear of any bank or investment fund with a political agenda— especially any bank or investment company that uses —or even mentions —ESG or ESG ratings.

this is the most ridiculous thing. You do remember 2008 right? WaMu, Lehman, etc? What about Signature Bank and now CS?

All banks nowadays have ESG components and diversity officers and all that good stuff. Goldman, JPM, all of them. If it wasnt good for business they wouldnt do it.
