Segregated Funds
A segregated fund, also known as a separate account or distinct account, is an investment vehicle used by insurance companies to offer investment products, such as investment funds or annuities.
Unlike mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which are separate entities owned by many investors, a segregated fund is a separate account owned and managed by the insurance company.
Benefits
Maturity
Guarantee
Segregated funds often offer a capital guarantee at maturity, which means that the investor receives at least the initial amount invested on the maturity date, regardless of market performance.
Benefits
Possible Protection
Against Creditors
Assets held in a segregated fund may benefit from protection against creditors in the event of bankruptcy or personal financial litigation, offering greater security for investors.
Benefits
Death
Benefits
Segregated funds may offer death benefits, ensuring a minimum payment to a named beneficiary in the event of the investor's death, often in the form of a specified amount or the highest market value achieved by the investment.
Benefits
Avoid the costs associated with probate fees and delays
By designating a beneficiary directly in a segregated fund, assets can be transferred quickly and efficiently upon the investor's death, thereby avoiding the fees and delays associated with the probate process.
Annuities
Annuities are financial products offered by insurance companies that provide a stream of regular payments to an individual in exchange for a sum of money, usually paid in the form of premiums or a lump sum.
They are often used as a means of guaranteeing a regular income during retirement or to meet long-term financial needs.
Types of Annuities
Life Annuities
Life annuities provide the investor with regular payments for the duration of his or her life. They offer long-term financial security and can be particularly useful for those looking to guarantee a stable income after retirement.
Types of Annuities
Term-Certain Annuities
Certain annuities guarantee payments for a specified period, often a fixed number of years. Even if the investor dies before the end of the guaranteed period, payments will continue to be made to a designated beneficiary.
Types of Annuities
Variable Annuities
Variable annuities offer payments that can vary according to the performance of the underlying investments, often mutual or segregated funds. They enable investors to participate in the markets while guaranteeing a regular income.
Types of Annuities
Prescribed or Non-Prescribed Annuities
Prescribed annuities are annuities whose payments are governed by specific, pre-established tax rules, often offering tax advantages for investors. By contrast, non-prescribed annuities are more flexible in terms of payments and management.
