The table below shows the basic comparison between segregated funds and mutual funds.

While similar to mutual funds, segregated funds offer many unique advantages including maturity and death benefit guarantees, the ability to bypass estate probate and potential creditor protection.

With segregated funds you can take advantage of these features and also benefit from the proven track record and world-class investment management of some of Canada's top money managers.

Segregated funds are insurance products.
