How do I decide which segregated fund to buy?

Because segregated funds contain an insurance contract, only appropriately licensed financial planners and advisors can sell segregated funds.

Analyzing the investment component of a segregated fund is the same as for mutual funds. (See Mutual Funds Q&A)

Segregated funds contain a variety of features and details that can be confusing so they should be approached with the assistance of an advisor.
