Segregated Funds

A segregated fund is a type of investment vehicle commonly used by Canadian insurance companies to manage individual, variable annuity insurance products. A segregated fund offers investment capital appreciation and life insurance benefits.

Security benefits + Insurance benefits

Segregated Funds, like Mutual Funds, are investments based on market dynamics. A large amount of money belonging to many people is invested in stocks, bonds or other securities under the operation of fund managers with the purpose of increasing the value of the entire pool of funds and creating returns for investors.

However, since segregated funds contracts are insurance contracts, they have something special that mutual funds do not have.

Benefits of Segregated Funds

Maturity & Death benefit guarantee

With a segregated fund contract, you’re guaranteed to receive at least 75 per cent of your deposits (or 100 per cent, depending on the contract), reduced for any withdrawals, when the contract matures or investors pass away.

Named Beneficiary + Probate-free

Because segregated funds are technically insurance contracts, they let investors name a beneficiary to allow the investment to bypass probate and the estate at death.

Creditor protection

Segregated fund contracts have the potential to protect your assets from creditors. If a family class or irrevocable beneficiary to the contract is named, the segregated fund contract may be protected from the owner’s creditors during his/her lifetime.
