Important Information:
The rates and yields presented are those available on the revision date and time displayed. They are expressed as yield to maturity (YTM), unless otherwise noted, and are subject to availability and change without notice.
This information is presented to better enable you to recognize the underlying differences between the 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 of return, the greater the relative risk. Unless otherwise noted, the investments shown are for a specified 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 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).
