Segregated Funds come with maturity and death benefit guarantees. You might have heard that before…
In this slide, you can see that in action. The blue segments represent the amount of claims that were paid out as per the market value of the investments.
The yellow segments represent the top-up that was paid out under the maturity and death benefit guarantees.
As you can see, the top-up portion was quite significant in the years 2022 and 2023 when the markets were down.
There is great value in Segregated Funds and it is most appreciated at the time the investment funds are paid/pulled out.

A summary of Registered savings options available to Canadians
Until 2009, most Canadians held their retirement savings in an RRSP, where they could claim a deduction for their contributions and then defer tax until withdrawals were made, which generally occurred at retirement. The introduction of TFSAs has provided another powerful savings vehicle that allows investment growth to accumulate and be withdrawn at any time tax free. Unlike an RRSP, you can’t claim a tax deduction for the contributions you make to a TFSA. On the plus side, if you need to withdraw money from your TFSA, you have an opportunity to replace that money because all TFSA withdrawals are added back to your unused contribution room—but not until the following year.
If you have children or grandchildren, RESPs are another popular option. The subscriber (or contributor) makes contributions on behalf of a beneficiary (the child). The contributions aren’t deductible or taxable on withdrawals. The growth is tax-deferred until withdrawals are made, at which time it can be taxed in the beneficiary’s hands if the beneficiary enrolls in a qualifying post-secondary educational program. Contributions to a child’s RESP may qualify for the Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG), and if your family’s income is below certain amounts, you may also qualify for the Canada Learning Bond (CLB).
