Short Term Investments

Repurchase Agreements (Repos) are short term investments secured by debt instruments such as government or corporate bonds. Under a Repo, clients’ funds are invested at an agreed upon rate for a fixed period of time with a specified maturity date and backed by a specific security. At maturity, full payment of the initial investment plus the return becomes due as per the Repo contract.

This product is suited to the investor who is seeking a safe, short-term investment with an attractive return.
