Your plan offers the Deposit Fund, which has upcoming changes that we want to make you aware of. The Deposit Fund is an interest-bearing account that credits daily interest at rates that can change daily. It allows maximum flexibility for members to transfer money in and out of the same fund without short-term trading costs.

The Deposit Fund is also commonly referred to as a Daily Interest Account (DIA).

Starting in June 2024, Sun Life will be reducing Deposit Fund base rates to align with industry practice for short-term savings accounts. This will not impact the Guarantee Interest Accounts (GIA), Guaranteed Daily Interest Account (GDIA) or Guaranteed Interest Certificates (GIC).
