Retained Asset Accounts (RAA) are best described as which type of account?

Retained Asset Accounts are designed to hold insurance or settlement proceeds in a vehicle that stays invested and earns interest while you can access the funds as needed. This makes them resemble a money market-style arrangement: you have liquidity and the proceeds accrue interest, rather than being locked in for a fixed term or simply sitting in a basic, non-interest-bearing account. Why this fits best: it’s not a fixed-rate savings vault, nor a plain checking account, nor a time-locked instrument like a certificate of deposit. The funds stay invested to earn interest and remain accessible, which aligns with the characteristics of an interest-bearing money market-type account.
