We were Canadian insurance and investment brokers in business from 1972 and online since 1998. We now refer you to brokers for personal service and to bring you the fullest choice of products, including life insurance, annuities, RRIF's and TFSA's. Our brokers stress the need for clients to be aware of the many different choices in any marketplace.
For example annuity payments can vary by more than $50 to $100 a month or more! And a 10 year term life insurance policy can vary in price by more than 100%! So you need to be careful!

The original reason I uploaded HughesTrustco.com and Segfunds.com in 1998 and LifeAnnuities.com in 1999 was that people were and still are, buying their desired financial product from one supplier without checking the prices and details from other insurance or mutual fund companies.
Also, though I was licensed to sell segregated funds, life annuities and life insurance most people did not and do not, have a good idea of how financial products work.And how each product should dovetail into each other. For example, somebody wanting to buy a term life policy, might be offered a policy for $43 a month.

The experience of dealing with Ivon and Hughes Trustco is a rarity today. He actually is interested in you and cares about your needs and then he delivers. He listens patiently to your questions, gets the facts right, and delivers exactly what you need. I first steered my sister-in-law to him and she was very satisfied. Then I took out one annuity and then a second smaller one. Each time I came away from the experience completely satisfied. If this sounds a bit gushy, it is. You just don't find people like Ivon anymore. I would highly, highly recommend using him.

I would like to thank you very much for helping me place my registered pension plan funds into joint-life retirement annuities.
I especially appreciate the way you compiled quotes from seven or eight different life insurance companies to show the variations in payouts that are available at a given point in time. I also appreciate your patience in responding to my requests for different pay-out scenarios, based on different guarantee periods and other first assumptions.
Your fast turn-around time made the decision making process for me and my wife very easy, and having you run interference on

I found Ivon to be conscientious, thorough and extremely knowledgeable in helping my wife and I purchase an annuity. He answered questions without any effort to pressure or "sell". He took the time to come to Toronto twice to make sure we were buying what we needed.
I'm very happy to recommend him highly.

I am very pleased to have purchased a Payout Life Annuity through Ivon Hughes at The Hughes Trustco Group Ltd. This process started for me about five years ago when I had a curiosity and casual interest in life annuities and how they worked. I used newspaper articles and the internet,especially The Hughes Trustco web site. I contacted Ivon and he gave me comparative quotes from different companies with different scenarios for my personal circumstances. I found him to be very helpful and objective with absolutely no pressure for me to buy.

Ivon and Carlo at Hughes Trustco have helped me with the purchase of several annuities over the years, and their customer service and attention to detail are excellent. They have many years of experience with annuities, and handled all the paperwork for me, which was extremely helpful. I have referred several friends and family members to Ivon, and all were very pleased with the service they received. Thank you Ivon and Carlo for helping me secure my financial future.
