Targeting a specific date for some of your investments can help you better plan for your first house, or big events such as having a baby, celebrating a wedding or even retiring.
Short- and Long-Term Investment Options
Your goals vary, just as the ways we can share our faith vary. For some of your investment portfolio, you may have specific goals that need to be achieved by a certain date. That's why an LCEF Term Note might be the right choice: the funds are invested for a specific period of time and remain yours to redeem at the end of the term or re-invest.
You may select:
- Fixed-Rate Term Note—this note carries a constant interest rate, and requires a $500 minimum investment. Variety of terms available from 6 months to 20 years.
- Floating-Rate Term Note—rate is adjusted monthly based on prevailing market rates, and requires a $100 minimum investment. 30-month and 60-month terms available. Investments of $25 or more accepted throughout the term.
For complete disclosure information about LCEF, see the Offering Circular or request a copy by calling 1-800-843-5233.
The True Value of Your Investment
Your LCEF investment represents more than a monetary "net worth": it represents a desire to reach more people with the Gospel. The value to your heirs will not come in the balance, but in the fact that you want your funds to help expand or renovate churches, and support Lutheran schools and church workers. As you periodically review your beneficiary designations, tell them why LCEF is special to you.
Build a Better School Brand
Times have changed for today’s Lutheran schools. Leaders and parents must do more to attract and retain students and staff. To help schools remain viable, LCEF offers Project School Zone. In addition to coordinated marketing materials, Project School Zone is a resource for developing branding strategies with a downloadable handbook, quarterly e-newsletter and periodic free webinars.
