Segregated Funds vs. Mutual Funds
With both segregated funds and mutual funds, you invest in a diversified group of investments that are managed by professionals and it is easy to access your money.
But this is where it ends.
Segregated funds have:
Maturity Guarantees
This means your money is insured to meet or exceed a certain present percentage value at a certain time (eg. 15 years). If the markets are down when your fund matures, you will receive the actual value or the guaranteed value, whichever is greater.
Death Benefit Guarantees
This means your money is insured to meet or exceed a certain present percentage value when you pass away. If the markets are down when you pass away, your beneficiary will receive the actual value or the guaranteed value, whichever is greater.
Bypass Probate
This allows your beneficiaries to be paid faster, offers a level of privacy and bypass probate fees.
Creditor Protection
In the event of bankruptcy, your creditors cannot access your segregated funds. This is especially advantaeous of you are self employed or own a business.
