A Market-Linked Term Deposit can reduce the risk of investing while still allowing you to benefit from the stock market’s potential

                             
With any investment, there's always a fine balance between achieving a strong return and minimizing your risk. You may be intrigued by investing in the stock market, but nervous about its volatility.

If that's the case, a market-linked term deposit may be right for you.
If you have money sitting in a savings account earning a modest rate of interest, and you're looking for some low-risk growth potential, a market-linked term deposit could help. Plus, it's a good way to diversify your investments with no administration fees or commissions and they’re RRSP & TFSA eligible!

Talk to us today about how Market-Linked term deposits may play a role in your investment portfolio.
