HISAs, for those in the know, are “High Interest Savings Accounts” and offer a nearly zero risk way to earn some interest on your cash holdings. Read all about them here. “Class F” funds are usually available via your online broker, often bought and sold in the same module as mutual funds, although they are NOT mutual funds.

The table hasn’t changed since May¹, but I’m going to start adding HISA-alternative ETFs to the table just for comparison purposes. CASH and HISA are frequently-used Canadian ETFs that buy HISAs exclusively. I instead use ZMMK, which does not invest in HISAs at all, but instead uses very short term bonds to generate income. This is admittedly a bit riskier than the alternatives but as long as it pays me a bit of a premium, I’m ok with that. I did a market overview of cash and cash-like ETFs back in March, if you’re interested.

Since I hold a substantial amount of USD-denominated ETFs, I also track US interest rates.

iShares	ICSH	ICSH Fact Sheet	n/a	4.70%7

UCSH and HISU invest in HISAs exclusively; I instead use ICSH which is a rough equivalent of ZMMK in terms of portfolio makeup. Like ZMMK, I enjoy a slight premium in yield as a reward for taking a bit more risk.

1. The next possible change to Canadian interest rates will be on July 30. The next possible change to US interest rates will be on July 29 or 30, so next month’s table may have some changes, most likely downward. ↩︎
2. Calculated by dividing most recent distribution (June 30, 2025) by NAV price and multiplying by 12. What the providers show on their ETF fact sheet seems a bit random. ↩︎
3. Based on June 26 distribution. ↩︎
4. Based on June 27 distribution ↩︎
5. Based on June 30 distribution ↩︎
6. Based on June 26 distribution. ↩︎
7. Based on July 1 distribution. The 30 Day SEC Yield as of July 2, 2025 shows 4.73% which is in the right ballpark. The SEC Yield appears to be a US effort to provide the investor with apples-to-apples comparisons of current yield. ↩︎
