Let's talk about...Guaranteed Interest Accounts

Guaranteed Interest Accounts (GIA) are ideal for investors who are looking for capital security.

What is a Guaranteed Interest Account?

Similar to Guaranteed Interest Certificates (GIC) offered by banks, a GIA which is issued by an insurance company pays a predetermined interest rate on the entire value of the original investment for a set period of time and are ideal for those looking for capital security.
