The Hughes Trustco Group

Montreal, Canada, March 21, 2006 --(PR.com)-- The Hughes Trustco Group (Segfunds.com) announced today, the return of the 100% guarantee for segregated funds. Segregated funds with a 100% return of capital guarantee have been dying a long drawn out death, sinking to a low of 75% and even less in recent years.

Now, Empire Life have re-introduced a 100% guarantee of the return of your capital with a 15 years holding period. This will provide a great advantage for those who like to invest for the longer term, all the while being able to switch between different types of funds.

“With the stock market volatile and investors nervous, mutual funds can be a risky investment. But segregated funds, mutual type funds with a guarantee, can provide the basic guarantee you need to sleep well,” said Mr. Hughes, president of The Hughes Trustco Group.

“If clients do not choose the 100% maturity guarantee option, they receive a 75% maturity guarantee. Now with the choice of a 75% or 100% maturity guarantee option, a 100% death benefit guarantee and the ability to reset guarantees to lock in growth, it is one of the most comprehensive guarantee packages available.”

Segregated funds of all types are available on the website at segfunds.com.
