More than insurance. A legacy.

Participating life insurance for children: the most underrated financial product in Quebec.

Lifelong protection. A cash value that grows every year, sheltered from tax. A flexible asset your child can use for school, a home or retirement. All in a single product — and the earlier you start, the more powerful it is.

Here is what makes this product unique
The problem: waiting is expensive

Every year you wait, your child loses tens of thousands of dollars.

Most parents put this decision off. The problem? Time is the number one growth factor. A lost year can never be made up.

  • An RESP is capped and taxable on withdrawal
  • A savings account earns next to nothing
  • Stock market investments are volatile for a child
  • The longer you wait, the higher the premiums
⏳

Starting at age 1 vs. age 10

The difference? Hundreds of thousands of dollars.

At age 1, premiums are at their lowest and growth has the most time to work. At age 10, premiums are higher and the capital has 10 fewer years to grow.

Happy family
How it works

You plant a seed. Time does the rest.

Participating life insurance is a unique financial vehicle: lifelong protection, tax-advantaged growth and flexible capital — all in a single product. Payable over 20 years, over a custom period, or even for life, depending on your budget.

🛡️

Protected for life

From day one, your child has permanent protection. Forever.

📈

Growth year after year

The cash value increases every year through the insurer’s participating dividends.

🏦

Tax-sheltered growth

The capital grows in a tax-advantaged environment, with no annual tax on the growth.

🔑

A flexible asset for life

School, a down payment, a business, retirement — your child decides when and how to use it.

It is the only product that combines protection, savings and tax-advantaged growth in a single contract — and the earlier you start, the more spectacular the result.

Imagine the day your child discovers this gift.

You started when they were a baby. They don’t even remember it. But the day they need it, it is all there — a capital that grew quietly for years.

🎓
At 18

They pay for their education

The accumulated value can help fund university, on top of the RESP. A safety net few students have.

Education funded

🏠
At 30

They buy their first home

They use the cash value as a down payment or as collateral for a loan. A concrete advantage when it matters most.

Down payment available

👴
At 65

They enjoy substantial capital

After decades of tax-sheltered growth, the cash value and the protection have reached significant amounts — all because you acted early.

Six-figure capital

Why start while your child is young?

Three advantages that time multiplies.

💰

The lowest possible premiums

A healthy child = minimal cost. The longer you wait, the higher the premium.

⏳

Decades of growth

Dividends accumulate year after year. Every extra year amplifies the result.

🔒

Guaranteed insurability

You lock in their protection now, whatever the future holds for their health.

The best time is always as early as possible. But it is never too late.
