Description: A trowel scoops a seed into a pile of dirt. The frame splits in half. The left side shows saving $500/month at age 25. The right side is later, $1000/month at age 45.
Narrator: Then why not start saving money today.
Description: A watering can is lifted and waters the seed. The trowel covers the seed.

Segregated fund and/or mutual fund fees will lower your rate of return.”
