The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) represents the interest earned through each eligible call date based on simple interest calculations, an investment price of $1000 per corporate bond, and is accurate as of February 14, 2024. Callable corporate bonds are more likely to be called in a lower interest rate environment, and investors may be unable to reinvest funds at the same rate as the original corporate bonds. The minimum balance required to purchase the corporate bond and obtain the APR is $10,000. Interest payouts are mandatory, and interest cannot remain on deposit. This investment is not FDIC insured. Corporate bond prices move opposite to interest rates, increasing when rates decline and falling when rates increase. Corporate bonds are intended to be held until maturity, as this assures redemption at par value. Investors may sell them before the stated maturity date, if needed, at the prevailing market prices, and proceeds may be more or less than the original investment. Market values of longer tern corporate bonds tend to be more sensitive to interest rate fluctuation. Thus, the longer-term corporate bonds are generally not suitable for investors with a short-term horizon. Other factors that may affect corporate bonds are order size, call features, and investor demand. Sales charges may apply. Consider all risks and benefits and how this investment alternative may help meet investment objectives. For Complete Details, Call: Jeffrey S.
