Three currencies set to join the euro combined in a single CD
European Opportunity Index CD
Before transitioning to the euro, European Union (EU) members must meet strict financial obligations that may impact the value of their current currencies. The European Opportunity Index CD brings together countries in the process of adapting their economies to the EU currency.
Features of our European Opportunity Index CD:
- Available in 3- and 6-month terms.
- Comprised of 3 currencies from countries transitioning to the euro:
- Returns based on a fixed-interest rate and any changes in the values of the currencies that comprise the Index CD versus the U.S. dollar. If any of the currencies lose value versus the U.S. dollar, you could potentially experience a loss of principal.
- No monthly account fees.
- Open with a competitive minimum deposit of $20,000.
- FDIC insured for bank insolvency.1
Your European Opportunity Index CD Account includes the EverBank® Asset Manager Service
, which automatically combines all of your banking, World Markets and other EverBank investment accounts into one relationship.
What should I consider before I open a foreign currency account at EverBank®?
We feel it's important to assess your tolerance for the risks associated with currency fluctuations. While FDIC insurance will protect you from bank failure up to $250,000 (through December 31, 2009), currency values can be affected by various geopolitical and economic influences and this can negatively and positively impact the amount of your deposit. We recommend that you carefully consider both the potential for currency appreciation (or loss) along with the rate of interest that you may earn when assessing the use of foreign currency products as part of a broadly diversified investment strategy.
We encourage you to use our foreign currency resources to educate yourself about currency investing and the factors that influence currency values.
