Manulife Investments GIC specialty account types
For deposits made up to November 13, 2020.
Specialty account types are GICs that can diversify and add flexibility to a portfolio. Specialty account types from Manulife Investment Management offer very competitive rates and 30-day rate guarantees. In addition, a Manulife Investments GIC provides insurance company benefits, such as tax advantages for nonregistered contracts, the ability to pass on money tax free to beneficiaries, and potential creditor protection. A large case program¹ is also available for investors with GIC assets of $500,000 or more.
Two investment options are available:
1. Laddered GIC Account
- Helps provide protection against fluctuating interest rates
- Offers diversification as a portion of the investment matures each year and is reinvested at attractive long-term rates
- Provides the flexibility to cash in if the need arises²
2. Escalating Rate GIC Account:
- The interest rate is guaranteed to increase each year of the term
- Has a higher effective yield to maturity than the corresponding basic GIC account (cashable) rate
- Offers the ability to lock in now for attractive rates in later years
- Provides the flexibility to cash in if the need arises²
