The economic strength of commodity currencies united into 1 CD
Commodity Index CD
Commodities can be a great addition to a well-diversified portfolio. And commodity-based economies could benefit from a growing global demand for resources. The Commodity Index CD combines the currencies of 4 countries with economies closely tied to the price of commodities.

What should I consider before I open a foreign currency account at EverBank®?
We feel it's important to assess your tolerance for the risks associated with currency fluctuations. While FDIC insurance will protect you from bank failure up to $250,000 (until December 31, 2013), currency values can be affected by various geopolitical and economic influences and this can negatively and positively impact the amount of your deposit. We recommend that you carefully consider both the potential for currency appreciation (or loss) along with the rate of interest that you may earn when assessing the use of foreign currency products as part of a broadly diversified investment strategy.
We encourage you to use our foreign currency resources to educate yourself about currency investing and the factors that influence currency values.
