What is a GIC?

A safe and secure way to grow your savings. By putting your funds away for a set amount of time, you're guaranteed to get your investment back plus earned interest once the term is over.

Why could a Coast Capital GIC be right for you?

  • You're looking for a short to medium-term growth (30 days to 7 years)
  • You want a low-risk investment where you're guaranteed to get your initial investment back
  • You want to start with at least $500
  • You're looking to build your portfolio, either in a registered plan like TFSA, FHSA or RRSP, or a non-registered account
