The Canadian Stock-Indexed GIC is a 3-year term investment whose return is based on the performance of the S&P/TSX 601 Index (excluding dividends).
Your principal earns a potential return based on the percentage increase, if any, in the closing value of the index during the period that starts two business days after your GIC issue date and that ends two business day prior to the maturity date of your GIC, which is then multiplied by the participation rate. The participation rate is set in advance of each new issue and varies by issue date.
How It Works
You can purchase Scotia Canadian Stock-Indexed GICs anytime with a minimum investment of $1,000. During the period between your purchase date and the next available issue date you earn interest at our regular 3-year non-redeemable GIC rate. On the issue date, this interest is added to the amount you invested and becomes the principal issue amount, which is fully guaranteed.
The term of your Stock-Indexed GIC starts on the issue date. The Stock-Indexed GIC is non-redeemable and non-transferable prior to maturity.
If the closing index value two business days prior to maturity is less than or equal to the closing value two business days after issue, your return is 0%, but your guaranteed principal is returned. Principal and any interest earned are paid at, and not before, maturity.
