Mutual Funds - A Solid Foundation

Some of the most popular investment vehicles today are mutual funds. Investors use them as a core holding for many components of their financial plan. In fact, there was $8.624 trillion in mutual funds, closed-end funds, ETFs, and UITs at the end of 2004.*

There are mutual funds of every flavor, all with their own unique objectives and risks. They come in different asset classes such as stocks, bonds and money markets. There are over 8800 mutual funds available.*

Signal Securities has relationships with almost every major mutual fund family and offers closed end funds, exchange traded funds, and unit investment trusts. From Large Cap to Small Cap, Growth to Value we have it all.

It is very important to find mutual funds that fit in with your needs. Your Signal representative will help you find a fund that fits in with your goals and risk tolerances.

Insurance and Annuities

Family Protection

Ensuring that your family can continue its standard of living in the event of a long-term care situation or death is a major concern for most people. No one wants to burden their family with expenses that cannot be paid.

Through our own insurance agency we offer a comprehensive list of insurance solutions. Our product menu includes term insurance, indexed products, whole life, universal life and variable life. We also offer long-term care insurance and disability coverage by some of the top carriers.

Asset and Income Protection

Another concern, especially for those who are retired, is ensuring one doesn’t run out of income or that their money is not exposed to excessive investment risk.

To help those individuals, Signal Securities can provide both fixed and variable annuities of all types.

Consult with your Signal representative to determine which insurance solutions are appropriate for you and your family.
