What is a Segregated Fund?
A segregated fund is the insurance
industries equivalent to a mutual fund - with some very
unique benefits not available with a mutual fund
investment.
We invest in the same type of
securities as mutual funds
Our portfolio managers are mutual
fund companies
Why are they called
"Segregated Funds "
The assets in these funds are
separate from the general assets of the life insurer -
therefore " coining " the term segregated.
Segregated Funds vs. Mutual Funds:
the Unique Benefits
Segragated funds offer guarantee of
principal at maturity and death
Segregated funds offer creditor
protection

Segregated funds offer avoidance of
probate
The 100% Guarantee - How does it
work?
It guarantees 100% of deposits less
reductions for withdrawals or fees at maturity or death
regardless of the market value of the funds
Maturity is selected by the client,
but must be at least 10 years after the first deposit
We do not start a new 10 year cycle
for each deposit
The Freeze Option
Allows clients to lock-in
investment gains and increase their guarantees of
principal at any time
No limit to the number of freezes
per year
Powerful concept when markets are
rising
