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. It also gives you the opportunity to benefit from increases in global equity markets without risking your capital.

Is It Right for You?

This GIC may be an appropriate choice if you:
  • Want the potential to earn a higher rate of return than traditional GICs.
  • Want to guarantee the safety of your original investment.
  • Will not require regular income from this investment.
  • Are willing to accept a variable, rather than guaranteed, rate of return.
