I just got an email from Hubert Financial, advising that their terms rates will be going down again, Effective Tomorrow (Sept. 27th) :
.
" Rate Update
We want to give you a heads up that our term rates are scheduled to decrease tomorrow.
The new rates are as follows:
1-year term - 2.50% average
2-year term - 2.55%
3-year term - 2.60%
4-year term - 2.65%
5-year term - 2.75% "
.
Except for their one year term, all their other rates are going down. Their posted rates already show tomorrow's new rates, but I would imagine that their old rates will still be effective until midnight tonight.

I was surprised to get an 'advance' notice from Hubert !
Have they ever done that before ?

As I recall, they did it once before, but normally they just tell us after the fact.

I wish they'd do it all the time❗
I took advantage of the advance notice they sent me yesterday, and bought into two more Terms before their rates went down today.

Be sure to include the recommendation that such notices always be sent in advance of any changes when you get your next customer satisfaction survey from Hubert - or compliment temon it if they continue to do it, and ask for longer notice, like Oaken which gives one week, which is enough time to transfer in some funds.

Loonie. Keep in mind you only have to do a transfer in to Oaken to order a GIC. The funds do NOT actually have to be there....same for Hubert. Bad transfer equals a cancelled GIC.

I and my wife have all our TFSAs at Hubert in one year GICs. One of my wife's RRSP GIC is maturing pretty soon - at a different FI. We had been planning for a while now to transfer those RRSP funds to Hubert, as soon as they become available ... not any more. We will have to find them a different home.

So what is your point??? Hubert does not read nor cares if anybody from this forum moves money there. They do what they do; take it or leave it.
Instead of giving them finger, it will be more productive for the all members of this forum if you say WHERE are you going to move your $. Then we all might benefit.

Soon everyone will follow suit, rate wise, and PT & Oaken may hold out. Sometimes Hubert’s 1 year GIC is very attractive.
Where are you moving to?
Hubert has in the past, followed this site.

At least they gave us a one day advance notice again ... that's two times in a row now❗
I wonder if we'll ever be able to talk them into a 5 or 6 day notice. Doesn't Oaken do something like that ?

Hey jgclghrn ... just how is your name pronounced❓

Oof, for the 1-year quarterly, that's only 0.10-0.20 above the best 1-year brokered GIC available through Scotia iTRADE and other discount brokerages, I believe. Believe 2.23-2.27% is still possible with Scotia iTRADE. If the spread is this low, or lower, I will move out my 1-year Hubert GIC with an effective annual interest rate of 3.15% when it matures in mid-January 2020.

This is for sure a race to the bottom for rates. Hubert rates are now only marginally better than the banks. For me CDIC guarantee is stronger than the Manitoba type guarantee so moving on from Hubert...........
Must say I feel much better about my reset preferred shares these days. The values have increased in the last month (people no doubt looking for yield better than 2% with GICs currently on a downward trend) and the Div Tax Credit makes them even more worthwhile.
I sure do not see GIC rates improving for a while and if a recession arrives (not unlikely) that will likely depress GIC rates even more. GICs back closer to 1% could become reality.

I'm guessing Hubert's next step will be to lower their rate on their HISA again ... it's just a matter of time.

Tongue in cheek.
I think they will wait for results of current FeedBack before they make any more changes.
