Investment potential. Insurance features.
A segregated fund contract is an insurance contract with an investment component. Its value can increase or decrease as markets change.
Some contracts include maturity or death-benefit guarantees, subject to specific conditions. Those features do not make every withdrawal or market value guaranteed.
Look at the whole picture.
- Investment objectives and the funds available
- Management costs and insurance-related fees
- Maturity dates and guarantee conditions
- How withdrawals affect guarantees
- Beneficiary designations and contract options
- Liquidity needs and your investment time horizon
Read the information folder and the specific contract before committing. This website does not recommend a particular insurer, fund or investment return.
Three things to keep in mind
Understand the trade-offs
Insurance features can come with additional costs and conditions. Compare the full contract rather than focusing only on a guarantee headline.
Keep expectations grounded
Historical performance does not guarantee future returns. Any savings tool on this site is arithmetic, not a product forecast.
Big life decisions. A clearer next step.
