Short- and Long-Term Investment Options
Organizations have different goals for different streams of their income. For part of that income, you may wish to have it invested for a specific amount of time. LCEF's Term Notes might be the right choice: the funds are invested for a set timeframe and are redeemable at the end of the term or available for re-investment.
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.
Be Prepared for the Unexpected
Don't let financial emergencies sabotage your monthly budget. Start a Family Emergency StewardAccount® to help you cover unexpected expenses, while also providing funds LCMS organizations need for their ministry needs.
Taking Comfort in Our Faith, Mission
The economic and political news can be unsettling. Rest assured, these events are not directly impacting LCEF's financial strength or your investments. Through our strong business model, LCEF remains fully capable of meeting our commitments to LCMS members and organizations as we all serve our gracious God. Find out more.
