Depending on your investment strategy, CommSec Notice Investor could help diversify your portfolio with its notice-based liquidity.
A notice period is the amount of time required to wait before you can withdraw some or all of the money from your Notice Investor. The longer the notice period, the higher the interest rate.
When opening a Notice Investor, you will need to choose either a 2 or 7 day notice period. Once you have opened your account, the notice period can’t be changed. However, you will be able to open multiple Notice Investor accounts, including for other account structures such as eligible joint, trust or SMSF accounts, to suit your needs. There is no limit to how long you can leave your money in your Notice Investor.
Interest rates on a CommSec Notice Investor are variable, and the interest earned depends on which notice period you choose when you open your account.
Interest rates differ for customers classified as Financial Institutions - refer to CommSec Notice Investor Interest Rates for applicable rates.
There are different interest rates when the funds are on hold, on notice, or at call. Once you open a Notice Investor, the notice period can't be changed - however, you can open multiple accounts with either notice period, and leave your funds in your account for as long as you choose.
This means your funds are sitting in your Notice Investor for as long as you choose to leave them there. There are no minimum or maximum balances.
