Doug,

I'm in the process of educating myself on these as well. While in contact with a new prospective GIC broker last week, this was part of his presentation, which prompted my initial research.

I'm not aware of comparative sites at the moment, but as I learn more, I'll share what I know for the benefit of the Forum.

Hi Stephen,

It's nice to put a first name to the Nehpets username. 😉

That's great...keep us posted! And, anyone else that wants to "chime in" with such comparative websites, feel free, too. sf-cool

Cheers,
Doug

Rates of accumulation annuities are mixed with those of regular GIC's in Cannex's Canadian GIC rates table.

The accumulation annuities/guaranteed interest contracts aren't flagged explicitly. But, one can tell by the issuer. For example, "Sun Life - Insurance" versus "Sun Life - Trust".

Information about Assuris' coverage is on their Accumulation Annuity Protection page.
