How do I choose the right GIC for me?
The right choice of GIC depends on your financial situation, investment goals and time horizon. Please see below for a comparison of our GIC types:
Key feature and needs | Cashable GIC/MPSA | Personal Redeemable GIC | Non-Redeemable GIC | Market-linked GIC |
---|---|---|---|---|
Investor’s need | Accessibility coupled with competitive rate | Accessibility coupled with competitive rate | Earn a guaranteed rate of return | Keeping pace with inflation |
Principal protection | ||||
Flexibility | — | — | ||
Higher returns | — | — | ||
Return Guaranteed | ||||
Exposure to market | — | — | — |
For example, if you are saving for a new car, a Cashable or Personal Redeemable GIC is a better choice because you have the flexibility to redeem your cash anytime.
In general, less access to your funds will mean higher interest return. Cashable is the most accessible GIC, but will have relatively lower interest rate vs. Market Linked GIC that is least accessible but carries the highest potential interest return.
