Are these GICs not what you’re looking for?
We offer a wide selection of GICs that can help you reach your financial goals.
The best GIC is the one that best suits your financial situation and investment goals. Before choosing, consider different criteria such as initial investment, type of return, investment horizon, etc. To help you decide, here are the terms and conditions of the different types of GICs we offer.
Take advantage of competitive fixed-rate interest rates and varied terms.
Access your investment whenever you need cash.
Benefit from a return linked to the growth potential of the markets.
Grow your savings using USD.
You could maximize your returns while retaining access to a portion of your funds annually by staggering the maturity dates of your GICs. That means dividing the initial investment amount and placing them into equal, but separate GICs with maturity dates ranging from one to five years. For example, if you’re looking to invest $5,000, you would invest $1,000 in a 1-year GIC, $1,000 in a 2-year GIC, and so forth.
