G.I.C's - Guaranteed Investment Certificates
Get the most for your guaranteed investment
GICs give your portfolio guaranteed growth and reassurance that your money is secure. However, buying a GIC that’s right for you may not be as straightforward as you might think. GICs feature a wide range of interest rates, terms and options and many Canadians end up with a lower interest rate or less flexibility than they wanted.
Interest rates vary from one financial institution to another. Your advisor will recommend only stable secure financial institutions that offer GIC's.
