How you'll benefit
Flexible guaranteed return
When looking for modest return you can feel confident in, a term deposit might be your answer. The choices are broad so consider the following before investing:
- When do you plan on needing the money? Is this a short or long term investment? Choices range from 1 year to 5 years.
- Saving for a long term goal or still want the option to access the cash? Choose between a cashable, redeemable, or non-redeemable.
- Is this part of your tax strategy? Consider holding your term deposit in a registered account, like RRSP or TFSA.
- Are you willing to risk some return for the potential of higher growth? If so, a Market Linked Term Deposit might be for you.
SASCU Advisors are here to help you through these choices.
