Should you buy market-linked GICs?
Guaranteed investment certificates (GICs) are safe investments that can be purchased by Canadians. They typically have a term of between one and five years and pay a predetermined rate of interest to investors.
What is a market-linked GIC?

As owner and vice president of London, Ont.-based StormFisher Hydrogen, Moffatt has led the development and construction of more than $1 billion in clean energy infrastructure and is currently developing a facility for creating hydrogen and other low-carbon fuels. He’s an entrepreneur, an engineer and an environmentalist, and he excels at all three. In short, he and his company have a good story to tell. His problem? Finding the right way to tell it.
