Series EE Bonds

Trading Term

Thirty year investments that are issued in denominations that range from $50 to $10,000. Investors are able to purchase them at a 50% discount from their face value. Investors who purchased Series EE bonds between May 1, 1997 and May 1, 2005 receive an interest rate that is equivalent to 90% of the average yield on five-year Treasury bonds over the last six months. Series EE bonds issued after May 1, 2005 have a rate of interest that is reset twice per year. These investments may be cashed in any time after 12 months. However, if investors cash in bonds that are less than give years old, a three-month interest penalty will be assessed.
