While saving for significant purchases, down payments, or major investments, TD offers various facilities to support your financial goals, providing a favorable interest rate on your total sum.
There are five distinct investment options that offer a stress-free way to achieve a good return:
- Market Growth GICs: Aligned with market growth and stock market potential, this option carries no risk to your capital. It guarantees interest returns based on terms, minimum investment, and plan, all without any fees.
- Special Offer GICs: Depending on the chosen term ranging from 100 days to 3 years, these GICs offer a 5.25% interest rate per annum. A minimum investment of 500 CAD ensures a fixed rate of return, making it suitable for short-term and medium-term investments.
- Cashable GICs: Ideal for both short and long-term investments, this option guarantees a return rate for the specified period. With flexible terms spanning from thirty days to 5 years and a 3% yearly rate of return, it provides versatility.
- Non-Cashable GICs: In this option, investors cannot withdraw their funds before maturity. However, it ensures 100% security for your money, offering a flexible period of 30 days to 5 years with a 5.35% yearly rate of return.
