Pivotal Select™ segregated funds are a type of investment option that offers growth potential with financial protection. While segregated funds are similar to mutual funds, segregated funds have unique features that protect your investment throughout your life, and assist in the efficient transfer of assets when you pass away. When you invest in a segregated fund, your money is pooled with the money of the other people who have invested in that segregated fund. The fund manager of the underlying fund will strategically buy and sell a variety of investments, such as stocks and bonds.

Notable features
