# inform on interest rates — Financial Advisor

As a Financial Advisor, 'informing on interest rates' isn’t just reciting numbers; it’s *translating* them into client impact. Daily, this means explaining how current rates affect mortgage options (fixed vs. adjustable), bond yields within portfolios, CD/savings account returns, and loan costs for things like education or personal needs. You'll be using tools like rate comparison websites (Bankrate, NerdWallet), broker-dealer platforms showing available securities’ coupon rates, and potentially economic forecasts to contextualize where rates are headed. A key task is illustrating the *total* cost of borrowing – not just the APR – factoring in fees and loan terms.
