Email from ZAG I have some terms coming due you must inform them 10(?) days ahead to not have GIC renew at prevailing rates. Hopefully everyone has checked their GIC's, I checked when I suffered excruciating pain when I got them but didn't check later now 2 out of 3 are not compounding, me bad, sounds like a discussion coming up.

Even after giving ZAG instructions twice, once at the time of purchase and once again 14 days prior to maturity, the GIC still autorenewed at the prevailing rate. It needed a bit of hand-holding and supervision, but the whole thing got straightened out to have proceeds credited to our savings account. Kind of annoying when these things don't happen the way they are supposed to but I guess that is part of the cost of promotional rates.BRIAN5000 wrote: ↑16 Jan 2018 20:46 Email from ZAG I have some terms coming due you must inform them 10(?) days ahead to not have GIC renew at prevailing rates.

I had the same thing recently with Alterna bank. Gave them instructions prior to maturity and then had to hound them when maturity day arrived and no cheque. Took me a couple weeks after maturity to get my money out of them. I guess a lot of these small financial institutions are finding it hard to get good help.good4u wrote: ↑16 Jan 2018 22:55 Even after giving ZAG instructions twice, once at the time of purchase and once again 14 days prior to maturity, the GIC still autorenewed at the prevailing rate.

Re: High interest rates for savings, GICs and MMFs (2018)
It seems to be the 'system' in banks with respect to GIC rollovers. Maybe harks back to a time when the bulk of investors were really savers and wanted their GICs rolled over into new ones (nowhere else to go when you bank at one brick and mortar institution). No reason any of this should be difficult... i.e. a simple toggle in a dialog box in their system software. At least in a brokerage account, the GIC goes straight to cash when it matures.

Canadian Western Bank's 5 year rate is 2.86%, but they lowered their TFSA rate slightly.

Any idea how long after a rate hike it takes for GIC rates to go up, usually? I haven't ever watched it closely. I've made the decision that it's time to dump a substantial portion of my fixed income position in favour of a GIC ladder.
Oh and one more question, any idea why Oaken GICs aren't available on BMO IL?

As for the second part, I don't know why Oaken is no longer available on BMOIL but I think it had something to do with them not being able to negotiate a deal. It is too bad because I would probably look to work with a broker who offered Oaken given that their rates are some of the best out there.FI40 wrote: ↑18 Jan 2018 10:55 Any idea how long after a rate hike it takes for GIC rates to go up, usually?

I believe Oaken is the retail online offering while Home Trust is the brokerage offering.

Wait for 30 minutes after the market opens, then put a bid inside the spread, say at 75% of the spread.BRIAN5000 wrote: ↑18 Jan 2018 20:07 Canadian Corporate Bond Index ETF (VCB)

Watch it for a while, if it does not get filled, move it up a penny.
Rinse and repeat.

I now see 1.10% for TDB8150 on the link you quoted. If you continue to see less try re-loading the page, it might be cached by your browser?
Re: High interest rates for savings, GICs and MMFs (2018)
It also tends to be updated in your TDDI accounts screen before they update that page.
Re: High interest rates for savings, GICs and MMFs (2018)
RBF2010 on RBC Direct Investing is also 1.10% now.
