One year ago, we highlighted a high return and low risk investment, Series I Savings Bonds (I Bonds), which were yielding an annualized 9.62% due to the high inflation rate in the United States. Since then, the inflation rate has decreased and the inflation component of the I Bond yield has declined to 3.38% as of May 1, 2023. As a result, investors have redeemed over $1.2 billion since the beginning of May. In this episode, we discuss the one-year return of I Bonds for those who invested last fall and consider whether now is the right time to redeem.

If you are interested in revisiting I Bonds to see how the investment turned out and whether they remain a good option going forward, we think you’ll enjoy this episode. Thanks for listening!
