Long-Term Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs)

Where applicable, the appropriate regulatory license is required to sell this product.

Your clients who are willing to lock in their deposits for a longer period of time will benefit from the higher rates typically associated with long–term GICs. And that's ideal for those who want stability in their portfolio, or are nearing retirement.
