Investment Accounts

With a CIBC Investor's Edge investment account, you can have access to a complete range of investment vehicles designed to make investing easier. And remember there's no annual fee when you maintain a balance of $10,000 in your account. For more details, see our Fees and Commissions schedule.

Cash Account

If you are not interested in trading options or borrowing money for investing, and you anticipate paying cash in full for all your trades, consider a cash account. You'll be able to take advantage of all the services and savings offered by CIBC Investor's Edge while earning competitive interest rates on the cash holdings you maintain in your account.

Margin Account

If you are planning to purchase securities by borrowing money against securities you already hold with CIBC Investor's Edge, consider a margin account. As with any loan, you must meet certain credit requirements to have your margin approved.

Option Account

If you're a more sophisticated investor and you decide that you'd like to invest in exchange-traded options listed in Canada and the U.S., consider an Investor's Edge option account. You can select from equity, index and bond options. An option account lets you implement a wide range of options strategies to match your investment style. Margin account approval is required to open an option account.
