Dear Tony: We are in need of a special assessment to cover an emergency underground repair in our townhouse complex. We have enough funds in our reserves to cover the cost, but our strata president decided to invest the funds in a three-year non-redeemable GIC, so we have no choice but assess the owners. Obviously, our owners are quite unhappy about this.
Bonds or non-redeemable investments are generally not recommended unless you have a well-planned investment laddering scheme that coincides with scheduled renewals. At current rates, high-nterest savings still offer the best returns and are quickly accessed. Investments must be in the name of a strata corporation, “the owners, strata plan ABC1234” and copies of the investments and bank statements can be included with the council minutes or reported on a financial statement to show interest yields.
You may also contact the financial institution and request early release of the funds, but you will likely lose any interest and there may be a fee if possible.
