RBC Market Access GICs

 

Global Market-Linked GICs®

Global Market-Linked GICs offer the best of both worlds – the security of a GIC and the growth potential of the equity markets. This GIC is a three-year GIC whose return is linked to increases in a weighted basket of international stock market indices. This GIC gives you the opportunity to benefit from increases in global equity markets without risking your capital.

Benefits

  • Higher return potential: You’ll participate in the growth potential of five major international stock market indices
  • Peace of mind: Your original investment is 100% guaranteed at maturity
  • Simplicity: You’ll have principal protection and growth potential in one solution

Key Features

  • Variable return is linked to a weighted basket of international stock-market indices in Germany (DAX 30), France (CAC 40), Japan (Nikkei 225), UK (FT-SE 100) and the U.S. (S&P 500)
  • Three year term
  • Minimum investment of $1,000
  • Early return lock-in option* available on the GIC’s second anniversary, providing you with control and flexibility
  • Available for RRSPs, TFSAs, RDSPs and RESPs
  • Eligible for CDIC coverage

*The lock-in option allows you to take your return on the 2-year anniversary. If you decide to lock in gains before maturity, the return is paid out on the second anniversary, but the principal is paid back on the maturity date.

Your return will depend on whether and how much the weighted basket of international stock-market indices increases over your GIC's term. This GIC does not provide you regular interest or provide a guaranteed rate of return. It is possible that there may be no return.
