  • Invests solely in Canadian Dollar, interest bearing deposits with Equity.
  • Tax on your share of income earned by the Equity Cash Fund will be taxed at your Prescribed Investor Rate (PIR) of 0%, 10.5%, 17.5% or 28%.
  • All or part of an Equity Cash Fund account balance can be withdrawn at any time. In the case of a partial withdrawal, you must maintain the minimum account balance of $500.
  • There are no account or transaction fees. Service fees may apply.

Units in the Equity Cash Fund are issued by Equity Group Investments Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Equity Credit Union Plc ("ECU"). Investments made in the Equity Cash Fund are not deposits with Equity. Equity guarantees account balances and returns due but not paid (less fees and any PIE tax). The guarantee is unsecured.

The rate of return is before tax and fees and can change at any time.
