Isn't that an excellent reason to include Desjardins market-linked guaranteed investments in your portfolio?

Remember that when you invest in market-linked guaranteed investments, your capital is completely guaranteed. The return is not known until maturity, because it is based on the performance of one or several stock indexes.

1. Past returns are not a guarantee of future performance. The return on market-linked guaranteed investments may be nil.
