What is a GIC?

A GIC – or “Guaranteed Investment Certificate” – is a low-risk investment that guarantees a rate of return over a fixed period, typically between 1-5 years. When you invest your money in a GIC, you’re investing in a safe and secure savings method that will help you reach short and long-term financial goals whether it’s for a major purchase, the trip of a lifetime, to start your own business, whatever!
