Segregated Funds

Back to Home

When it comes to building wealth in Canada, many investors find themselves torn between the high-growth potential of the stock market and the safety of traditional guaranteed investments. Segregated Funds (Seg Funds) offer the perfect bridge, combining the growth power of mutual funds with the robust security and benefits of a life insurance contract.

Whether you are looking to secure your retirement, protect your family’s future, or safeguard your business assets, Segregated Funds provide a unique investment structure designed to weather market volatility while keeping your hard-earned capital safe.

The Seg Funds Advantage: Growth Potential Meet Absolute Protection

Unlike standard mutual funds, Segregated Funds are individual insurance contracts with unique features that offer unparalleled peace of mind for business owners, professionals, and families across Ontario:

Principal Investment Guarantees: Seg Funds protect your downside. Depending on the contract, 75% to 100% of your original principal investment is guaranteed upon maturity or the policyholder's death, ensuring your hard-earned savings are never completely wiped out by market downturns.
Creditor Protection: For business owners, entrepreneurs, and independent contractors in Ontario, this is a vital shield. If structured correctly with a family member named as a preferred beneficiary, your Seg Fund investments are generally protected from lawsuits and creditors.
Estate Planning & Private Wealth Transfer: When a standard investment account owner passes away, the assets go through probate—a timely, public, and expensive legal process. Segregated Funds bypass probate completely. The money transfers directly and privately to your named beneficiaries within days, saving your family from heavy estate fees.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Segregated Fund, and how does it protect my principal investment?

A Segregated Fund is an individual insurance contract that functions similarly to a mutual fund but comes with powerful built-in insurance guarantees. The primary structural benefit is the Principal Investment Guarantee. When you invest in segregated funds through Fanni Finance, the underwriting carrier guarantees that upon maturity or your passing, your beneficiaries will receive 75% to 100% of your original principal, regardless of macroeconomic market volatility. It bridges the gap between market growth and absolute capital protection.

What is the "Reset Feature" in Segregated Funds, and how can I lock in my market gains?

The Reset Feature is one of the most powerful wealth-preservation tools available in the Canadian financial market. If the market performs exceptionally well and your portfolio value increases, you have the legal right to "reset" your guaranteed amount to this new, higher market value. This effectively locks in your profits.

However, it is critical to understand the mechanical trade-off: when you trigger a reset, the contract's maturity timeline resets as well (usually a fresh 10-year holding period from the reset date). Everything restarts from that point, meaning your capital must remain in the fund for the duration of the new timeline to secure the newly increased maturity guarantee.

How do Segregated Funds offer creditor protection for business owners and independent contractors?

Because Segregated Funds are legally structured as insurance contracts rather than standard investment accounts, they offer an elite layer of Creditor Protection. If you are a business owner, corporate director, or self-employed professional in Mississauga or the GTA, your personal assets can potentially be exposed to business liabilities. By investing in segregated funds and naming a family member (like a spouse or child) as a preferred beneficiary, your capital is generally shielded from personal or corporate creditors in Ontario, ensuring your family's wealth remains secure.
