Invest in a GIC Ladder

Steps To Start Building a GIC Ladder

Step 1.

Schedule your periodic payments or expenses like quarterly income taxes.  You can use a calendar to do this easily to make sure the GIC ladder meets your needs.

Step 2.

Document all your other sources of reliable income such as dividends, employer pensions, annuities and other payments like Old Age Security and CPP.  If you're a business, you could also go through this exercise to see when you may need cash available whilst getting a return on your funds.

Step 3.

Determine the timing of these obligations with the different GIC terms available to you to make cash available just before the obligation is due.  A GIC ladder can be constructed using different terms from 30-270 days all the way to 5-10 years.  It all depends on your needs how you structure the GIC ladder.

Step 4.

Get the best GIC rates from Blue Alpha Wealth for each part of your ladder and plan out how you want to deposit and cash out when you believe you would want to look at new interest rates.

Now, say after the first year, your GIC matures with income of $420. Add that to the $20,000 and you'll have $20,420 cash available to pay obligations or you could decide that you want to reinvest into another GIC.  Let's assume after that year current GIC rates for 4 year maturity are at 3.2%.

If you invest that $20,420 into a 4-Year GIC @ 3.2% your GIC earned income after 4 years would be $2,613.76 which would give you a balance of $23,033.76.  So you took advantage of a rise in interest rates as the 4 year GIC after the first year of your GIC ladder is 0.10 higher than the 5 Year GIC.
