Index-Linked Deposits

What is an Index-Linked Investment?

Index-Linked investments are tied to the average monthly performance of a stock index, such as S&P 500 Index®. Get the best of both worlds with a Index-Linked Deposit. Index Linked Deposits combine the potential for the higher rate of return of a stock market with the safety of a GIC principal guarantee. The investment stays at Plainsview Credit Union, which means your principal is guaranteed, so even if the index doesn't perform well before its maturity, you'll still get your principal back in full! If the index does perform well, you'll receive an interest payment at the investment's maturity date.

Now that's smart investing!
