Parama Credit Union’s Canadian Index-Linked Term Deposit’s rate of return is based on the S&P/TSX 60 (Standard & Poor/Toronto Stock Exchange) index.
How the rate of return is determined
The index-linked term deposit’s return is based wholly on the performance of the S&P/TSX 60 index. This index is a list of the 60 largest companies on the Toronto Stock Exchange as measured by market capitalization. The rate of return is determined by the average of the stock market indexes (based on a specific day of the month). Interest earned is paid at maturity.
