So one would get $1500 vs $1560 annual interest before income tax on a $100,000 GIC. Just saying.

Hey? Forty bucks would get ya a really nice bottle of wine. No? And one could celebrate their clever investment with a bottle every year too!

Got an e-mail this morning from Wealth One. They have extended their five year GIC of 2.88% until 22 October. (This Friday).

Thanks for that, Alexandra. I've been putting it off, just in case something better came along (not likely). This is a busy week for me, so I welcome the extension.

"provider not identified"
Do they ever tell you who is the issuer of the GIC?

the aggressive nature of how quickly wealth one pumps up its 1y GIC offering actually makes me uncomfortable to invest in that name, even tho upto 100k is cdic protected.....

Yes, they do. I called Wealth Management and GIC Wealth and both told me the issuer for their rates.

You are so right on this. As I have noted before, WealthOne Bank is not profitable so far, so CDIC protection is important when depositing with them. Obviously, they need to pay "this top rate" to be able to attract deposits.
This also underlines why exceeding CDIC limits is not a big deal when dealing with the big 5. While the big banks pay lower interest rates, depositors get high safety and security of their money on deposit in return.

Are you allowed to name the institutions, if not the actual names, can you confirm they are of high repute? Thanks.

The times I called brokers, they told me the GICs they quoted in their current offers were from WealthOne and Haventree Bank. You would have to make your own assessment as to the reputation of those individual institutions. At least you would have a name from which to start.

Brokers will tell you issuer's name, esp if ur a current customer. You need to know the name esp for CDIC purposes.

Thanks. Do the brokers provide a list of names and their rates for you/me to select. That's what my investment broker does.
