I-bonds

    0.06 sec.
I-bonds
Treasury savings bonds with a 30-year maturity indexed to account for inflation.

I-bonds
Savings bonds that pay coupons indexed to inflation. The coupon rate is a fixed rate plus an additional percentage adjusted every six months according to the Consumer Price Index. These bonds are sold at face value and pay par upon maturity, which is 30 years after purchase. I-bonds not held for at least five years are subject to a redemption penalty. I-bonds are tax-deferred and zero-risk, but they yield relatively low returns. Savings bonds are non-transferable and must either be held or redeemed.
