Term Deposits

 

Built for the shorter term, a term deposit is a secure investment that generally offers a higher rate of interest than a traditional savings account. Attractive not only for its security, it also offers a predictable rate of growth and is not exposed to the risk of losses due to market fluctuations. 

  • Can also be held in registered products such as RRSPs, RRIFs and TFSAs.1
  • Flexible terms range from 30 to 270 days.
  • Available in CAD, USD and euro.3

Index-Linked Term Deposits

 

Also referred to as Market-Linked Term Deposits, these are offered in 3- and 5-year terms. Each offers a guarantee of your principal with a rate of return tied to growth in the stock market; these are based on the performance of the S&P and TXS60 Index. 2 

Benefit from a higher potential return than a fixed-rate deposit, but with no risk to your initial investment – no matter what happens in the stock market, you are guaranteed the return of your principal when your deposit matures.
