Investopedia explains 'Inflation-Linked Certificates of Deposit'
Because they pose little inflationary risk to the investor, this type of CD offers slightly lower interest rates than regular CDs. This inflation protection together with the regular low default risk of CDs makes for very safe investments. An investor will never realize huge gains with these securities, but they may play a role in a diversified portfolio or serve as an ideal investment for risk-averse investors.
