Short Term Investing from GE Interest Plus

By issuing corporate notes, companies can borrow capital directly from investors at a fairly low cost, while providing investors with benefits such as:

Higher rates of interest than other cash alternatives like FDIC-insured savings accounts, short-term CDs, and money market mutual funds
Investments that are fully redeemable at any time
Convenient banking-type features like check writing, free electronic transfers between linked checking accounts, and the ability to wire funds

Corporate notes are a direct, unsecured investment in the debt of a corporation, and so are not FDIC-insured. Unlike short-term bond funds or money market mutual funds, they are not diversified pools of investments. Because they are a form of unsecured credit, you would be treated as an unsecured creditor in the event of a default. That’s why it is critical for you to evaluate the financial strength of the company you choose to invest in.
