Why Invest with Alterna

How would you like to start saving?

Registered Plans

Save for your retirement, your children’s education and other long-term savings goals with accounts that are registered with the government and offer tax incentives, such as a TFSA, RRSP and RESP.

Term Deposits

Looking for a worry-free, guaranteed investment? We offer a wide range of guaranteed investment certificates (GICs) with great rates and terms ranging from 30 days to 5 years, so you can choose the one that best meets your investing goals.

MarketTracer® Term Deposits

Finally, an investment that guarantees 100% of your principal and gives you the potential to earn higher returns. Invest with confidence and peace of mind with Alterna’s MarketTracer Term Deposit. A MarketTracer Term Deposit is similar to a regular term deposit, but the return is based on the performance of an underlying index or basket of securities.
