Separate account

Encyclopedia : S : SE : SEP : Separate account

A separate account is an account held by an insurance company not in its general account. A separate account allows an investor to choose an investment category according to his individual risk tolerance, and desire for performance. An account may be a generic conservative or aggressive investment allocation, or a specific mutual fund-type account. Some offshore companies allow the account owners to specify the type of separate account to open.
