I think fs brokers get a bit automatically for retention wrap or not.
The theory maybe like a credit card ur more likely to spend/invest "silly" at a full serve house.

The deposit/investment brokerage business doesn't quite work that way. There is no trailer fee on a GIC. So, if the brokerage house doesn't receive any net commission, then the firm isn't going to pay the individual broker anything either.

At best, the individual broker with a large book of non-commission generating accounts will be given extra time to generate commissions, should the individual fail to meet their commission quota.

Simplii lowered GIC rates for 1 year to 3.00% p.a. and for 5 years to 3.40% p.a., matching Tangerine.

Not sure what you mean about the rate history. This drop could be anticipated once Tangerine dropped their rates and Oaken announced the same.

GIC rates lowered today. Below Tang now.

Not too surprising - they've done pretty well and retaining their existing business and likely even growing it a bit. Looking at the "Big 5" bank annual reports, Scotiabank (including Tangerine Bank) had the lowest CET1 and Total Capital Ratios of the group.

Cheers,
Doug
