What Are Segregated Funds?

Segregated funds (or “seg funds”) are investment funds managed by insurance companies.
They work similarly to mutual funds but include unique insurance features, such as:

  • Capital protection guarantees (typically 75%–100% of your original investment)

  • Death-benefit protection, ensuring your beneficiaries receive your guaranteed amount

  • Creditor protection for business owners and self-employed professionals

  • Bypassing probate, so your loved ones receive their inheritance faster

Unlike traditional investments, segregated funds give you both growth potential and peace of mind.

Why Choose Segregated Funds for Your Financial Plan?

Whether you’re saving for retirement, building wealth, or creating a legacy, segregated funds provide:

  • Professional investment management with diversified portfolios

  • Guaranteed protection against market losses at maturity or death

  • Flexible withdrawal and reinvestment options

  • Estate-planning advantages that save your family time and taxes

If you’re self-employed or own a business, creditor protection can be a valuable safeguard. Learn how our Business Insurance solutions can complement your segregated fund strategy.
