INTEREST RATE
PROTECTION

THE ROYAL Bank is offering an
investment opportunity for per-
sonal clients with an interest rate
hedge said to be unique among
major Canadian deposit-taking
institutions.

Competitively priced one-year
investment certificates, extendable
for a further year at the same rate
of interest, will be offered until
May 9.

The new investment option call-
ed Option Advantage GIC offers
personal clients investment certifi-
cates regardless of whether rates
go up or down.

Because the certificates are ex-
tendable, if rates drop over the
year holders can renew their in-
vestrment at the original rate for
another full year.

If rates increase,when the certif-
icates mature holders will have the
option of reinvesting their money
at a higher rate.

The certificates, issued by Royal
Bank Mortgage Corp., were of-
fered at an iterest rate of 6.75%
when they went on sale in April
with a minimum investment of
$500 and no maximum limit.

“Clients have told us that in a
period of declining interest rates
and economic uncertainty they’re
looking for a competitive return
on their investment, together with
security and flexibility,’’ said
Garry Bader, Royal Bank area
