Is a Guaranteed Interest Annuity for me?

A Guaranteed Interest Annuity can be appropriate for different life stages, and can be customized to meet your unique short- or longer-term needs. Whether you’ve recently accepted your first job or your first big promotion, it’s a wise choice if you’re looking for:

  • a low-risk way to save towards a short-term goal – like a vacation, a wedding, or a new car
  • a simple way to earn more – the more money you invest, the higher the rate!
  • an easier, faster way to ensure your beneficiaries receive funds directly when you pass away
  • creditor protection – when you name an eligible beneficiary, your GIA may be safeguarded from creditors.
