Kadiha’s investment in a segregated fund with a 75% maturity guarantee means that upon maturity, she is guaranteed to receive 75% of her original investment, which would be $7,500 (75% of $10,000). The payment is considered part of the maturity guarantee under segregated fund contracts, and the difference paid out by the insurer to meet the guarantee ($2,500 in this case) is not subject to capital gains or interest income tax as it’s part of the guaranteed benefit. According to LLQP guidelines, segregated funds with such guarantees only tax the difference as capital gains if the payout exceeds the original investment, which is not applicable here​​.

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation: Under Quebec’s Civil Code, specifically within the framework of family patrimony (Articles 414–426), the partition of property upon divorce includes assets acquired during the marriage that are designated as part of the family patrimony. The family home, cars, RRSPs (Registered Retirement Savings Plans), and benefits accrued under the RRQ (Régie des rentes du Québec, or Quebec Pension Plan) are already listed, as they are explicitly included under Article 415. However, family patrimony also encompasses other property used for the family’s benefit, such as bank accounts that hold funds accumulated during the marriage for family use. TFSAs (Tax-Free Savings Accounts) are individual savings accounts, but if they were used for family purposes or funded with marital income, they could also be considered. The Ethics and Professional Practice (Civil Law) manual emphasizes that advisors must ensure clients fully understand the scope of divisible assets under family patrimony rules to avoid omissions. Life insurance cash surrender values (option C) are not automatically included in family patrimony unless designated for family use, and “nothing else” (option D) overlooks additional divisible assets like bank accounts. Option B, “Bank accounts and TFSAs,” correctly expands the list to include other relevant marital property, aligning with the Civil Code’s broad interpretation of family patrimony.

This question is a direct application of the time value of money concept—specifically present value (PV)—as taught in the LLQP Segregated Funds and Annuities material. Present value “works backwards from a future date” and answers the question: how much is needed now to achieve a future savings goal. The LLQP text provides the formula:

PV = FV ÷ (1 + interest rate)ⁿ

Here, Davy’s future goal is FV = $200,000, the annual return is 3% (0.03), and the time horizon is n = 10 years. Substituting into the LLQP formula:

PV = 200,000 ÷ (1.03)¹⁰

(1.03)¹⁰ ≈ 1.343916, so:

PV ≈ 200,000 ÷ 1.343916 ≈ $148,818.9, which rounds to $148,819.

Therefore, if Davy has at least $148,819 in his RRSP today and earns an average of 3% per year for the next 10 years with no additional contributions, he should reach approximately $200,000 by age 65.

This aligns exactly with the LLQP explanation that PV calculations are used “to help a person determine how much needs to be saved today to yield a specified pension at a future date.”
