Understanding Segregated Fund contracts
Learn more about Segregated Fund contracts and the unique benefits they can offer.
When you invest into a segregated fund, you contribute to a large pool of money. This pool is invested back in stocks, bonds or other securities that grow the value of the entire investment. With segregated fund contracts you also have maturity and death benefit guarantees. These guarantees can help protect your investments against market downturns. In some cases you will even have income guarantees for life.

Inflation Risk: The risk of your purchasing power eroding over time.
Market Risk: The risk of loss due to market performance.
Performance Risk: The risk of loss due to assets not being managed effectively
Mortality risk: The risk of being able to provide income continuation after the untimely death of a spouse or partner.
