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.

Both central banks in the Canada and the USA declined to decline their interest rates at their last meetings, so there’s no significant changes to report in the table from last month.

If your broker doesn’t give you access to HISAs (or you have to pay large transaction fees to acquire them¹), then there’s also ETFs that fit the bill, and some of them are now in this table, too.

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

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. I’m looking at you, Questrade. ↩︎
2. Per July 31, 2025 dividend ↩︎
3. Per July 29 dividend. Given what HISA holds (mostly National Bank and Bank of Nova Scotia HISAs), it’s puzzling how they managed to increase their per share dividend by 1.5 cents from last month, but that’s where it’s at. I wouldn’t expect that rate to continue. The website shows 2.58% yield (net). ↩︎
4. I combined the two dividend payouts issued in July to come up with this number. Not sure why there were two; it’s certainly not the norm. ↩︎
5. Per July 31, 2025 dividend ↩︎
6. Per July 29 dividend. Same comment as for the Canadian side. This rate doesn’t make sense. Website shows 4.22%. ↩︎
7. Per August 1, 2025 dividend. 30 day SEC yield shows 4.52% ↩︎
