1. Certificates of deposit are offered through Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. CDs from Schwab CD OneSource are issued by other FDIC-insured institutions, and are subject to change and system access. Unlike mutual funds, certificates of deposit offer a fixed rate of return and are FDIC-insured. There may be costs associated with early redemption and possible market value adjustment.
2. Based on a comparison of CD rates on Bankrate.com as of 8/3/06.
3. The temporary increase of FDIC insurance coverage to $250,000 for all insurable capacities has been extended through December 31, 2013. If not further extended, FDIC coverage will revert to $100,000 on January 1, 2014 for all insurable capacities except IRAs and certain other self-directed retirement accounts and plans.  Unless the increased coverage is extended, deposit insurance coverage for CDs with a maturity date after December 31, 2013 will revert to the prior FDIC coverage on January 1, 2014, regardless of when you purchased the CD. You should not rely on a possible extension of this increased coverage in purchasing CDs.  The FDIC considers any other deposits you may have with an issuing bank. CDs you purchase from a particular bank are aggregated with any other deposits you may have with the issuing bank for determining FDIC insurance coverage (e.g., if you already have deposits of $250,000 with a bank, don't purchase CDs from the same bank in the same ownership category). Because the deposit insurance rules are complex, you may want to use FDIC’s online tool, Electronic Deposit Insurance Estimator (EDIE), to estimate your total coverage at any particular bank. 

An investment in a money fund is neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency. Although money funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in a money fund.
