How does a winwin® Market-linked GIC work?

A winwin® Market-linked GIC offers the best of both worlds by combining guaranteed principal protection with market‑linked growth potential.

Principal protection

Part of your investment is placed in a fixed‑income component that guarantees your original investment (principal) at maturity, so your capital is protected.

Market‑linked growth potential

The remaining portion is linked to stock market performance, allowing you to earn returns based on selected markets, sectors, or themes.

Diversified exposure

Gain exposure to a variety of companies and sectors, helping keep your investment diversified

Is a winwin® Market-linked GIC
right for you? 

May be a good choice if you:

  • You prefer an investment with the principal guaranteed
  • You do not need to access your money for the entire duration of the term
  • You want the potential to earn more than traditional GICs

May NOT be a good choice if you:

  • You are looking for an investment with a higher guaranteed interest rate
  • You may need to access your funds prior to maturity

Frequently asked questions

What is a winwin® Market-Linked GIC?

A winwin® Market-Linked GIC guarantees that 100% of your principal investment is protected with the potential to earn more based on the performance of the underlying securities.

What are the differences between a winwin® Market-linked GIC and a regular GIC?

A winwin® Market-linked GIC is a non-redeemable GIC tied to a group of stocks from select companies - like financial, healthcare or insurance services - which gives the investor an opportunity to benefit from higher potential returns compared to traditional GICs, up to a specified maximum return.

A traditional GIC provides a fixed return known at the time of purchase and may be redeemable or non-redeemable depending on the type of GIC (e.g. cashable GICs vs. non-redeemable).

Which winwin® products are available?

The following products and terms are included in the current offering:

  • winwin® Canadian Markets: 2-year and 4-year terms
  • winwin® Global Markets: 2-year and 4-year terms
  • winwin® Financial Services: 3-year and 5-year terms 
  • winwin EarthLink™: 3-year and 5-year terms
Is there a guaranteed return? Is my principal protected?

Each product and term may or may not offer a minimum guaranteed rate of return and the minimum guaranteed rate of return (if any) may change from one sales period to another. The minimum guaranteed rate of return may be zero, allowing you to always protect your principal investment when held to maturity. Members should review the full product agreement for applicable eligibility requirements, redemption conditions, and other terms.

What does “maximum potential cumulative return” mean?

It is the highest total market-linked return that may be earned over the full term of the investment. It is not an annual rate and is not guaranteed.

How is the final return calculated?

You could experience a higher than usual interest rate payment on the maturity date of a 
winwin® term depending on the final index performance. In the final year, the interest rate paid would be the difference between the final rate of return minus the minimum rate (if any) already paid. Please seek independent tax advice as required for your unique financial situation

    The minimum guaranteed annual interest rate is paid out annually and does not compound. This product has a ceiling that determines the maximum return that you may receive at maturity. Terms and conditions apply.
    The return of a winwin® GIC depends on the performance of the index return that it is linked to over a certain time period, the Minimum Guaranteed Return and the Maximum Potential Cumulative Return.

    • If the index return is between the Minimum Guaranteed Return and the Maximum Potential Cumulative Return, you will receive the principal plus the index return.
    • If the index return is below the Minimum Guaranteed Return, you will receive the principal plus the Minimum Guaranteed Return.
    • If the index return is above the Maximum Potential Cumulative Return, you will receive the principal plus the Maximum Potential Cumulative Return.
