Benefits of Class A Shares

""
Fixed redemption value

Unlike common shares, which are valued by the market and fluctuate in price, Class A Shares have a fixed redemption value. This means you redeem them for the same price you paid for them.

""
No minimum purchase required

You don’t need a lot of money to get started. You can invest as little as
$1 CAD (1 share) when you’re offered the chance to purchase investment shares from the waitlist.

""
High rate of return

Class A Shares pay an annual dividend. The minimum rate of return, or “the dividend floor rate” ranges from 4.00% to 6.50%*. The annual dividend rate can be higher than the dividend floor rate (with the exception of Series 96).
