Product Description

The Canadian Advantage 8 Plus GIC offers the growth potential of a Canadian diversified equity portfolio all while ensuring 100% principal protection at maturity. The 8 Reference Shares with the highest price returns are automatically assigned a 35.00% return, regardless of the actual price realized. The remaining 12 Reference Shares will be assigned their actual price returns.

Highlights

  • 5-year term (non-redeemable).
  • Principal invested on the Issue Date is 100% protected at maturity.
  • Eligible for deposit insurance offered by CDIC.
  • Guaranteed Annual Interest: 0.50% payable annually; 2.50% over the 5-year term.
  • Variable Interest payable at maturity is based on the price return of a Reference Portfolio composed of the common shares of 20 Canadian companies.
  • The Reference Portfolio Return is an arithmetic average (expressed as a percentage and rounded to two decimal places) of the price return of the Reference Shares over the period starting on the Issue Date of the Canadian Advantage 8 Plus GIC and ending on the Valuation Date, where each of the eight Reference Shares with the highest price return will be allocated a fixed return of 32.50%, for the purpose of such calculation, notwithstanding the actual price return. The remaining twelve reference shares will be assigned their actual price returns.
  • If the Reference Portfolio does not generate a positive return greater than 2.50% at maturity, the Canadian Advantage 8 GIC will not generate any Variable Interest and only the Guaranteed Annual Interest will be paid.
  • Potential return: 35.00%, including the Maximum Variable Interest at maturity of 32.50% and the five payments of the Guaranteed Annual Interest of 0.50%.
  • No Secondary Market.
  • Exposure to a diversified portfolio of Canadian equities, allowing for the potential of a higher return than conventional fixed-rate GICs.
