Asked by Cory on June 21, 2024
5i Research Answer:

There are several options in this category, such as PSA, HISA and CSAV. All are similar and we are comfortable with them. They are not guaranteed like a GIC, but are about as safe as one can get without a specific government guarantee. Yields vary but are generally very tight, and we are largely indifferent here. Not all brokers will offer all of these, so much depends on what is offered.
