- Tax-deferred earnings – so your money grows faster

In most cases, you can't withdraw the money from an IRA without penalty until you reach the age of 59 1/2. CD-funded individual retirement accounts offer stable investment opportunities, and are FDIC insured. Consult your tax advisor to see if one is right for you.
