Inflation is higher than it’s been in decades, which is creating an interesting opportunity to invest in US I Bonds. I Bonds are a special type of US Savings Bond that earn interest based on combining a fixed rate and a variable inflation rate that gets announced every 6 months. Historically low yielding, I Bonds are currently paying 9.62% annual interest through October. This is a fantastic rate for a low risk bond! Depending on your situation, I bonds may be a good place to park cash or become part of your bond portfolio. Before rushing out to buy them, know that there is a $10,000 per person annual purchase limit, you can’t touch the money for at least 12 months, and there’s a penalty for selling within five years. Additionally, you can only buy them in electronic form through an account with the US Treasury, known as TreasuryDirect. Keep reading for more information.
