  5. Competitive GIA rates and more!
    With many bond funds declining in value over the past year, clients are looking for fixed income alternatives to reduce portfolio risk while providing a principal guarantee and an attractive interest rate.  

    Equitable Life® Guaranteed Interest Account (GIA) investment options are ideal for clients who want to create an emergency fund or save for a special purchase. And we’ve recently increased interest rates to make our GIA options even more competitive! 
     
    A few reasons to consider Equitable Life for your GIA business:
    • The GIA advantage – a life insurance contract can provide many estate planning benefits.
    • Industry-leading compensation – we currently pay 40bps of commission per year of term.1 Many competitors only offer 20 – 25bps per year of term.2
    • Cashable option3 – allows clients to access their money in case of unexpected circumstances. Not many competitors offer this feature.2
    • Advisor rate discretion – advisors can forego up to 40bps of commission for an equal increase in interest rate, making our great rates even better.
    • Win-Win – our GIAs allow you to give the client a better interest rate while still earning a good commission.

    Advisors will now notice a new internal transfer enhancement in EZcomplete®, Equitable’s online application platform — and it’s designed to make life a whole lot easier.

    • Helpful alerts that guide you through each step and help prevent mistakes. 

    Everything you need to complete an internal transfer is now in one spot — no more digging through old statements or searching for external documents. It’s a more streamlined, transparent experience for both you and clients. 

    You can access the enhancement directly within EZcomplete (Individual Wealth).
