No. Why would you tie up money for 3-4 years for 2%?


Because it would come with a put option in case rates go up, probably 6-months interest, which is better than buying 3-4 yr term bonds or a fund where he would lose principal if rates increased and he wanted/needed to sell. Really depends on what he wants to do with the money. Not like the stock market only goes one direction.
