    Term Deposits

    ​
    ​Term deposits are low risk investments that are well suited for short-term savings goals and can also fit in your long-term investment plans.  ​

    • Redeemable - Earn a guaranteed rate of return with the flexibility to access your money at any time after 30 days. 
    • Non-Redeemable - Lock your savings in for a set length of time. Your interest rate is fixed for the term, no matter what the market is doing. 
    • Market-Linked - Get a guaranteed minimum return with the potential to earn higher returns based on the stock-market.

    ​
    ​Mutual funds are investments that pool money from many individuals and invest the funds according to certain stated objectives. Mutual funds are managed by fund managers and can be ideal investment solutions for all types of investors.  

    • Provide access to a full range of investment solutions from NEI Investments, including the Responsible Investment (RI) solutions.

    • Invest as little as $50 per month and redeem funds should you need them.
    • Own many different types of underlying investments within each fund to reduce your overall risk investments available to suit any risk tolerance.

    Responsible Investing

    ​
    ​We can recommend an appropriate mix of investments to build a well-diversified portfolio suited to your goals, timelines and values.
