hi there,
regular mutual funds will not have any capital guarantee but regular seg funds ( from life insurance companies ) that gurantee 75% or 100% will have a very low rate of return.
Primerica Asset Builder II is a short term, that has the potential of return like a mutual funds, but have the peace of mind like a seg fund.
10 years minimum investment period doesnt mean you have to put there for 10 years. You can take your money out, but will back end load. Usually the load will decrease in time.
Seg fund is the best choice for business owner, the have the creditor protection feature, but mutual funds can be accessible by creditor means the creditor can take the money from mutual funds and cash it and paid them back.
