"Series I Bond Rate Surges to 5.27%: A Strong Fixed Rate for Investors"

The new rate for Series I Bonds starting on Nov. 1 will be 5.27%, consisting of a 1.3% fixed rate and a 3.94% inflation rate. This is the highest fixed rate since 2007. Investors who purchased Series I Bonds during high inflation periods received a 0% fixed rate, while those buying now will receive the 1.3% fixed rate for as long as they hold the bond. There are purchase limits and cash-out restrictions, but strategies can be employed to maximize returns.

Navigating the Treasury Bond Market: Insights and Strategies for Investors

With Treasury bond yields reaching their highest levels since 2007, investors are finding near-risk-free returns in the Treasury market. They can purchase these assets directly from the government through TreasuryDirect.gov, or through brokerages and banks that act as bond dealers. While Treasury ETFs offer exposure to these assets, buying actual Treasurys is considered a nearly risk-free proposition. The TreasuryDirect website allows investors to purchase new Treasurys, while brokerages provide access to both Treasury auctions and the secondary market.
