CornerstoneCU - Investing at Cornerstone Credit Union

One Member, Multiple Goals

No matter how much you have to invest, you can benefit from having a combination of short, medium, and long term investment goals.

Whether it’s retirement, children’s education, or a major purchase – you invest with a goal in mind. And your investments should be structured to help you achieve your goals. Consider what is most important to you and your family and prioritize.

What are your goals?

Short Term Goals

For short term goals, you may value peace of mind over higher returns. You're more conservative, as your principal is guaranteed while earning interest, and accessibility of funds is greater.

Short Term Goals include:

Emergency fund
Travel/vacation
Minor repairs and home improvements
Immediate retirement needs

Medium Term Goals

For medium term goals you'll likely expect your savings to grow over time, not overnight. Suitable investments often strike a balance between income and growth potential.

Medium Term Goals include:

Down payment on a home
Vehicle purchase
Home renovations

Long Term Goals

For long term plans, you may find that you are willing to take on more risk to enjoy the potential for higher rewards. Suitable investments vary, but usually focus on capital appreciation.

Long Term Goals include:

Starting a business
Saving for your child's post-secondary tuition
Retirement

Our investment solutions allow for a mixed balance of savings that will have you prepared for all your goals.

Term Deposits

Invest in a secure, worry free investment with a Term Deposit. You can decide how long you'd like to invest, with options ranging from one to five years.
