Segregated Funds
Like mutual funds, these are market-based investments. Money is pooled and invested in stocks, bonds or other securities with the goal of increasing the value of the entire pool. Appeal to investors who are looking for both growth and protection (of principal). Because segregated fund contracts are insurance contracts, they have special benefits that mutual funds do not, these include:
- 75 – 100% of premium guaranteed premium upon maturity or death
- Creditor protection – this can be a big advantage for business owners and professionals wanting to protect against an unexpected lawsuit or bankruptcy.
- When purchased with non-registered money – beneficiaries can be named, allowing funds to bypass your estate, and go directly to them. Funds can also be paid as a lump sum or in the form of a payout annuity.
