CIBC EasyBuilder GIC™

The CIBC EasyBuilder GIC takes a popular investment strategy called "laddering" and packages it into a one-stop GIC solution that helps you maximize your returns over time.

Your initial investment is divided equally into 5 portions and invested in 1-, 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-year terms of the CIBC EasyBuilder GIC. As each GIC matures, the proceeds are automatically re-invested into a 5-year CIBC EasyBuilder GIC, allowing you to benefit from the higher rates that longer-term GICs typically offer. The CIBC EasyBuilder GIC offers added protection from interest rate fluctuations, and provides convenient access to one-fifth of your investment each year.

Type	Non-redeemable
Minimum investment	$5,000 ($1,000 for each of the 5 terms)
Terms available	From 1 to 5 years with automatic re-investment of each term into a 5-year term (unless another option is selected prior to maturity)
Access to funds	Each year, 20% of your initial investment matures and can be redeemed
