INDEXED CDs (principal FDIC-insured)
Index-linked CDs are certificates of deposit issued by banks for which the rate of return or interest rate is determined by an underlying index, a common benchmark, or CDs which are denominated in a foreign currency. While the solvency of the issuing bank is insured by the FDIC, depositors returns are variable.
