Altamira Active Management GIC (Currently not for sale)
Growth and security. Looking for potentially higher returns than what you'd get from a GIC with fixed interest rates? Consider the Altamira Active Management GIC. Your return is based on publicly traded stocks and bonds, and alternative investment markets such as currencies. Because of this, your return is potentially higher than a Fixed Rate GIC, and subject to less volatility than other equity linked GICs because this GIC is based on a broad range of investment markets that move independently of each other. And you benefit from the security that comes from investing in a GIC because your principal is guaranteed.

Important
†The Altamira Active Management GIC is issued, managed and guaranteed by National Bank of Canada, not Altamira. Altamira obtains the GIC on your behalf as agent and will hold it in your Altamira account. Several issues of the Active Management GIC may be offered in the same year and features may vary for each issue. Please consult an Altamira Advisor.
*GICs offered by Altamira are issued by financial institutions that are members of the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC) and therefore are eligible for deposit insurance from CDIC (subject to maximum coverage limitations as outlined in CDIC's brochure entitled "Protecting Your Deposits"). Active Management GICs with a term of 5 1/2 years are not eligible for this insurance, but the principal is guaranteed by the National Bank.
