Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs)
A Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) is a type of term deposit. When you purchase a GIC, you are loaning money to the financial institution which issued the GIC (the issuer). In return, you are guaranteed an interest rate for the term of the investment, as well as the repayment of your initial investment at the end of the term.
