Rising interest rates have multiple impacts. Beyond the various declines observed, they have had a positive effect on the returns of GIFs and HISAs offered by iA.

Guaranteed Interest Funds (GIF)

Guaranteed interest funds are among the first to benefit from rising interest rates since they offer higher returns than in the past few years.

For new investments, GIFs represent an interesting complement to bonds for investors looking for more financial stability. The portion of their portfolio invested in GIFs allows them, among others, to:

  • reduce the risks associated with volatility;
  • benefit from a fixed interest rate, as opposed to bonds or equity funds that are prone to fluctuation;
  • improve their portfolio diversification.
