FirstOntario Investment Shares
Earn a competitive rate with annual dividend distributions
From time to time, FirstOntario offers a limited Series of Class B Investment Shares to the membership. Besides offering an exclusive opportunity to earn a highly competitive annual dividend rate, it’s a uniquely credit-union-way members can invest directly in the long-term growth and success of our credit union.
Investment Shares appeal to a wide range of investors for returns that are potentially better than long-term GICs, but without the market ups and downs. They can be a great addition to a well-diversified investment portfolio and as such, past Investment Share offerings have sold out quickly.
