Benefits of Segregated Funds
Our segregated funds utilize diversification in their structures. This protects you from mismanaged volatility and ensures that your money will grow in a stable environment
Our funds are connected to industries including:
- Energy sector
- Tech industry
- Banking & financial sector

Protect Your Assets From Creditors
If you’ve named a beneficiary to your policy, segregated funds also offer protection from creditors seizing your assets in case of bankruptcy or in the event of a lawsuit. As mentioned before, this might be particularly important for freelancers or small-business owners.
This is why segregated funds are also associated with life insurances (and why you should name a beneficiary on your policy). Upon your death, there’s a guarantee that 75% to 100% of your initial investment will be passed on to your beneficiary, tax-free.
