CD yields are not always a trade for liquidity
A person who withdraws funds from a certificate of deposit before the maturity date pays an early withdrawal penalty. This occurs because funds deposited into a CD are tied up for a set period of time. The penalty is a cost the person pays to regain access to their money. The result is the only way to avoid these penalties is to ensure funds are not needed for bills, living expenses, or a large purchase before the maturity date. The result is that the person loses a portion of the funds in the CD.
