Why Your Advisor Should Discuss Laddering CDs with You

Episode 50 of The Financial Advisor Podcast with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna explore a strategy many advisors overlook: building a certificate of deposit ladder. They walk through a real example of a client with $100,000 in cash earning 0.5% at a big bank, and how a simple 1- to 5-year CD ladder could have earned over 4% annually in the current rising-rate environment. They explain how laddering works, why it's not just for retirees, and the one question every advisor should ask before recommending it. They also discuss the risks: liquidity, early withdrawal penalties, and the opportunity cost if rates keep climbing. This episode is a practical guide for anyone sitting on too much cash and wondering what to do. No jargon, no sales pitch — just a clear framework you can take to your own advisor tomorrow. #CDLaddering #CertificateOfDeposit #FinancialAdvisor #FixedIncome #InterestRates #Liquidity #RisingRateEnvironment #CashManagement #PersonalFinance #InvestingStrategy #RetirementPlanning #BondLadderVsCDLadder #EarlyWithdrawalPenalty #OpportunityCost #Finance #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TheFinancialAdvisorPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
