Investors Group Fixed Mortgage Rates

This security allows you to plan better and feel more confident in your monthly mortgage payments. This has made the 5 year fixed mortgage and the 3 year fixed mortgage the most popular mortgage terms, because home buyers like not needing to renew your mortgage too often. If you get pre-approved for a mortgage from the Investors Group, you will be able to lock-in the same mortgage rate for up to 90 days before purchasing.

Investors Group Solutions All-In-One
The Solutions All-In-One mortgage product from the Investors Group provides you with a mortgage, a HELOC, and your bank accounts under one product. This can make managing your finances much easier, while allowing you to have the flexibility and lower interest rate that a HELOC provides. With your HELOC, you are able to borrow up to 80% of the value of your home. Whenever you deposit money into your All-In-One bank account, your debt is automatically reduced. When you go to pay with your account, you will access your credit amount, meaning you are able to pay less interest over time. As well, you will have access to credit at a lower rate, which makes it perfect for paying for a large purchase, home renovation, or for education costs.
Investors Group History
Investors Group Mortgage Break Penalty
A mortgage break penalty will be charged to you if you decide to break your mortgage before the term is up. This penalty can be thousands of dollars, meaning that the expenses associated with breaking your mortgage early should be considered. For the following mortgages, the mortgage break penalties are:
| Bank or Lender | Variable Rate Mortgage | Fixed Rate Mortgage |
|---|---|---|
 | 3 Months’ Interest | Greater of 3 Months’ Interest or the IRD amount |
The IRD is a common calculation used to determine how much is owed for breaking your mortgage. The calculation starts by finding the difference between your current mortgage rate and the current posted rate for the time remaining on your term. Then, the difference is multiplied by the amount of time left on your mortgage and mortgage amount, to get your mortgage break penalty.

Paying Down Your IG Mortgage Sooner
The Investors Group offers you multiple ways to help pay your mortgage off sooner, which includes:
Lump-sum prepayment: You are able to prepay up to 15% of your original mortgage balance every year, which will help to reduce the amount of money you owe in interest. This can be a good way to make use of leftover money at the end of the year in your bank account, helping you to pay off your mortgage sooner.
Increase your mortgage payment: Every year, you are able to increase your regular mortgage payments by up to 15%. This will help you allocate more of your budget to reducing your mortgage, with any additional payment allocated going directly to your mortgage balance.
Double your mortgage payment: For a few periods or for as many as you like, you are able to double up your monthly mortgage payment without incurring a prepayment penalty. This can be helpful if you have money leftover in your monthly budget, and want to put more towards your mortgage. Similar to increasing your mortgage payment and a lump-sum prepayment, all of this additional payment will go directly towards reducing your mortgage balance.
Making more frequent payments: By choosing more frequent mortgage payments, you are reducing your principal mortgage balance more often, leading to less interest expenses over time and with more money going towards your mortgage. Although making monthly mortgage payments is most common, choosing weekly or bi-weekly payments may be an option to explore, as long as your budget works with it.
