Maturity Guarantee<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the maturity date, the owner is guaranteed to receive the greater of the market value or the maturity guarantee amount, subject to the provision in the contract or product chosen. This means that in the worst-case circumstance, you’re getting up to 100% of all deposited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Payout Benefit Guarantee<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Death Benefit Guarantee <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resets to Lock-in Market Gains<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This feature work to capture market growth by allowing the owner to periodically lock-in increases in the market value of their segregated fund contracts. Resets may be automatic or client\u2011initiated with the assistance of a financial advisor, and may impact the maturity guarantee or Death Benefit Guarantee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creditor protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A segregated fund contract has the potential to protect a client’s assets from creditors. This feature is ideal for professionals and small business owners looking to help protect their personal assets from professional liability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Estate planning benefits<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to guarantees, segregated fund solutions offer your estate planning advantages by helping your loved ones receive an inheritance more quickly and may assist investors to leave more to heirs than they would be able with other types of investment products. Since Segregated funds are insurance contracts, death benefit proceeds pass on quickly and privately to the designated beneficiaries (other than an estate) without any legal, estate administration and probate fees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canadians, who are focused on securing a financial future for their family, after they are gone, can rest assured knowing that their loved ones will not endure additional stress during those difficult times.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Other Additional Benefits<\/g><\/b>\u00a0to<\/g> You<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Potential Creditor Protection<\/g><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assets flowing through an estate (which generally occurs when non\u2011registered assets paid by financial institutions other than insurance companies) may be subjected to creditors of the deceased, which could mean a smaller inheritance for your heirs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Privacy & Confidential<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proceeds bypassing the estate and paid to the named beneficiary can preserve confidentiality as the application for probate is a matter of public record. The ability to bypass probate saves your named beneficiaries time and money as well as estate fee upon your death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick & Fast<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


Settling an estate can be lengthy, frequently taking months or even years should the will be challenged. With a named beneficiary, other than the estate, death benefit proceeds of a segregated fund contract can pass directly to the recipient within a month or two and avoid these delays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Annuity Settlement Option<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


This option automatically transfers segregated fund proceeds upon death into an annuity, in accordance with the terms chosen by the client. You also have the opportunity to replace a lump sum death benefit with smaller scheduled payments while providing savings you legal, estate administration and probate fees. It offers additional privacy and potential creditor protection. For heir(s) with poor money management skills or minors, this option comes in handy to spread the inheritance whiles you’re away, at no cost to you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
