Smarter saving with GIA Laddering

Smarter saving with GIA Laddering
Want to show clients how to grow their savings in smart ways? Try Guaranteed Interest Account (GIA) laddering—a simple strategy that helps clients earn more interest and stay flexible.

How does it work?
Instead of a client putting all their money into one-year GIAs, laddering means splitting the money into different GIAs with different end dates. This way clients can:

• Earn better interest rates.
• Get access to part of their money every year.
• Be ready if interest rates go up or down.
Use our new calculator
Equitable’s new GIA Laddering Calculator shows clients how this strategy compares to putting all their money in one-year GIAs each year. It helps clients see which option could give them more money over time.

Contact your Director, Investment Sales to see how laddering can work for clients.
