GICs are secure investments that guarantee to preserve your principal. Your investment earns interest, at either a fixed or a variable rate, or based on a pre-determined formula. GICs often form the foundation of a well-balanced portfolio.

Benefits⁽¹⁾:

• Security and safety—both your original investment and interest payments are guaranteed⁽²⁾
• Competitive interest rates—guaranteed for the full term of the investment
• Flexible investment terms—ranging from one day to five years, and seven years and ten years
• Choice of interest payment frequencies e.g. monthly, annually
• Eligible for registered investment plans

Three Types for Greater Flexibility

• Guaranteed-return GICs guarantee that your money will grow as expected
• Interest rate-linked GICs make it easy to benefit from any increase in interest rates without having to adjust your investments
• RBC Market Access GICs™ offer you the growth potential of equity markets by linking to one or more indices or mutual funds. Your principal is guaranteed, while return⁽³⁾ is variable and will depend on the performance of the underlying investment
