Segregated
investment funds ("seg" funds) are mutual funds
offered by life insurance companies. The fund assets are separated
or "segregated" from the insurance company's other
assets to protect the investor in case of the company's insolvency.
When you purchase a segregated fund, you are actually buying
an individual variable insurance contract.
Segregated
funds offer several advantages over regular mutual funds:
1.
Guaranteed Principle - Most funds guarantee
100%of the principle invested at the
end of ten years.
2. Reset Feature - The guaranteed principle can be
reset or "bumped up" during
the ten year period.
3. No Probate Fees - Fund assets pass directly to beneficiaries,
avoid costly estate and probate fees.
4. Creditor Protection - Fund assets are generally
protected from creditors.
