To offset this change, the annual percentage yield will be doubled. The dividend rate and annual percentage yield will continue to be variable and can change at any time. The ADB is calculated by adding the full amount of the principal in the account each day for the period and dividing the figure by the number of days in the period. Fees may reduce earnings.
