I was considering a significant GIC purchase with Achieva, because they have unlimited coverage for all deposits.
Does anyone have any concerns over their ability to cover any circumstances?

Thanks, I already read the terms and know that my GICs would technically be covered. I even called the DGCM to confirm. I spoke to DGCM and was told no CU had ever failed and in the event of the DGCM being unable to cover any assets would likely mean the total failure of the province; even though the province has no legal requirement to cover DGCM shortfalls.
I am wondering if any forumites had thoughts on the DGCM abilities to cover all contingencies.

There have been previous threads here on this, including addressing the Manitoba credit union situation and whether or not it's backstopped by provincial gov't (if I remember it's technically no), maybe you can find them.
If I remember right the consensus is that these insurance schemes are good if an institution fails but if there's a systemic failure of a number of institutions failing over a short time there is obviously not enough to cover unlimited failures. Also people think bigger players would buy up smaller failing fi's, if for no other reason than to maintain confidence in the financial system, so that insurance coverage is not a big deal.

No matter how good the insurance is, we should 'Never' put too many eggs in any one basket.

One previous thread is Provincial deposit insurance, Manitoba rates, etc.
There is no legal requirement for the Manitoba government to help.
Consequently, any help provided can come with terms. The terms could turn out to be hard to swallow.

I'm reminded of the fact that the best form of insurance is prevention.
