Brokered CDs do not automatically renew like traditional bank CDs often do. Upon maturity, you typically have a brief window to instruct your broker on your desired course of action, such as rolling over the investment into a new CD or withdrawing the funds. If no instructions are given, the broker might automatically place the funds into a money market fund or hold them in your account as cash, waiting for your direction.
