Maritime Life Assurance Co. has added five new funds to its segregated fund family.

The funds “offer greater access to some popular external funds,” said Serge Pépin, director of retail investment products with Halifax-based Maritime Life.

“All five funds offer investors a diversified approach and Maritime Life’s unique segregated fund guarantees,” Pépin said in a statement.

  • the Trimark Seg Fund, the fifth-largest global equity fund in Canada, with $3.5 billion in assets and a core global holding option.
