Segregated Funds, also known as Seg Funds, are types of investment funds with certain insurance-related features. These features make Segregated Funds a popular choice for investors who are looking for potential stability and growth when planning for their financial future. Segregated Funds consist of professionally managed portfolios with a mix of stocks, bonds, and other investments held as one pooled fund. The money from Segregated Fund investors is kept separate from the issuer’s money and backed by an insurance guarantee that may be offered subject to specific limits depending on the fund’s objectives and features. Segregated Funds can provide numerous benefits to investors including death benefit protection, access to returns not typically available to all investors, creditor protection, and contractual flexibility.
