When I typed this outfit into Google in quotes, and added "Toronto", only two links came back. One was the web site that you have shared. The second link was to a site in Russia that I was not going to click on to open up.
Is that a coincidence?

100 King Street West in Toronto is First Canadian Place, a 72-floor tower in downtown Toronto.
Scammer is trying to use that address to establish credibility.
In contrast, the postal code M6K 1J7 is in the Beaty Boulevard Park area around 1575 King Street West.
This garbage looks like another incarnation of the earlier GIC Trust scam:

https://www.nationalrateservice.comtoo good to be true?
anyone ever deal with them?
Those are in the realm of reasonability, but my issue is the lack of transparency and accountability with that brokerage. We don't have a legal entity or easy to find contact information; just a brand name.
For the bond, what sovereign country is the issuer of that bond rate? What's the term, and what are the conditions of it?
For the bank bond, is it a bond or a debenture, what are the terms?
It would be best if they actually named their list of issuers publicly, as many deposit brokers do, but not necessarily tying them to specific issues.
Edit: That said, the biggest red flag for me is the links to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, which include Outlook 365 safelinks stanzas prepended to them, and the former of which links to a free Privacy Policy online generator tool.
I'd also suggest Peter remove the hyperlink to the site, just to be safe, and mention the site domain name in bolded plain text rather than as a hyperlink.
Cheers,
Doug

There is an awful lot of sophisticated "too good to be true" offerings out there in the marketplace. People getting caught left and right such as https://www.highinterestsavings.ca/forum/credit-card-reward-programs/plastk-visa-credit-card-holders-are-out-thousands-of-dollars/ There is almost always a catch with new players that have no reputable backers or history. Run, don't walk, from a potential/likely heap of trouble.

I’m pretty sure I recognize the Schroders name from the links above!
"A 24-year-old man has been arrested after a Toronto resident lost over $200,000 in an alleged investment scam that impersonated a global investment company.
Toronto police said the suspects allegedly placed advertisements with internet search engine providers to promote several fake investments.
When the victims clicked on the ad, they were brought to fraudulent investment comparison sites, where they were prompted to enter their name, telephone number, and email address.
“Once the information has been provided, suspects posing as representatives of Schroders Management Inc. will then call victims,” investigators allege. “Suspects will then email fraudulent Schroders prospectuses and application forms to victims.”"
