GIC Laddering offers investors flexibility, liquidity
Investors looking for safe havens often turn to Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs), but in many cases they do so without realizing that these investment products can inject flexibility and liquidity as well as security into their portfolio.

Beyond offering a guarantee of principal and a fixed rate of return, frequently ignored benefits of wisely managed GICs can include penalty-free access to a source of income just when it's needed, and the elimination of guesswork in relation to fluctuating interest rates.


Interested in stock market growth and a guarantee of principle - stock-linked GICs may provide the answer.

Socially Responsible Investing (SRI): So who or what is it?
It’s claimed to be one of the fastest growing investment concepts to emerge in the last few years is the area of Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) which some people refer to as ethical investing. Recent studies show that this segment of the investment market is growing at twice the rate of the total investment market.
So, what is SRI? Simply put, it is the practice of incorporating a person’s beliefs and values into their investment portfolio. This can reflect someone’s wishes to exclude a particular industry from their portfolio (eg. tobacco manufacturers or military contractors) or to include only companies with excellent records on international human rights (eg. sweat shops) or environmental impact.

Ask An Expert
Dear Money Management Editor, In regards to Guaranteed Investment Certificates, is there a standard policy regarding what happens upon death?

Dear Reader, The industry has a practice (not a standard) that most institutions follow when dealing with the death of a GIC holder. Generally speaking if the GIC is in a single name the executor of the estate will have the option of having the GIC paid out in full, including all of the accrued interest or re-registered in the name of the estate or a beneficiary of the estate. If the GIC were re-registered, the original terms and rate would remain intact. Similarly if the GIC is in joint names the remaining joint owner could request a payout of the principal and accrued interest or have the GIC re-registered just in their name or possibly joint with someone else. Some institutions may limit the payout or re-registration options based on their own policies. There are also different documentation requirements depending on the how the original GIC was registered.
