Beneva offers you an article to help you make sound decisions before investing.
RRSPs offered by insurers and banks are very similar. You put your money in an investment
vehicle: Guaranteed interest account or investment funds.
The difference lies in the types of investment funds offered. Banks recommend mutual investment funds, or simply mutual funds, while insurance companies offer segregated funds.
How are segregated funds better than mutual funds? Let’s see!
Segregated funds offered by insurance companies include a capital guarantee. This protection of capital means that your beneficiaries will receive a minimum amount upon your death, regardless of where the market is.
If the financial markets take a major downturn right before your death, the insurer will guarantee a portion of your savings, based on the options you selected.
In the event of bankruptcy or legal action by creditors, the segregated funds for which you designated your spouse or child as a beneficiary may not be seized.
This exemption from seizure is especially attractive to professionals and business owners.
In the event of death, the amount accumulated in the segregated fund (or the guaranteed amount, whichever is higher) is paid directly to the beneficiary, without having to wait for estate settlement.
By avoiding probate, where the contents of the will may be known by all, the identity of the beneficiary remains confidential.
