  1. Open doors with our updated CI & UL solutions! Have you heard the news? On October 8th, we rolled out several updates to our competitive Equitable® product lineup—including our Critical Illness (CI) and Universal Life (UL) plans. 

    These updates are all about cost savings for clients and helping advisors like you grow your business. And the response has been fantastic!


    What’s new for CI and UL?

    1. Lower monthly costs for new EquiLiving® critical illness (CI) policies paid monthly – hello savings!

    •    The monthly modal factor for CI decreased from 0.09 to 0.0867.
    •        The monthly policy fee decreased from $4.50 to $4.34.

    *Note:  EquiLiving premium rates and annual policy fees have not changed. 

    2. Lower monthly costs for UL policies with CI riders added – now it’s more affordable to add CI coverage when selling UL!



    Commissions got a makeover too

    Good news! Commissions on Term and EquiLiving CI policies are now calculated based on the total premium paid for the policy year—even if clients opt for monthly payments. No more annual premium commission calculations!

  3. Did you miss our Equimax update in December?
    Equimax – a better and stronger solution!

    Discover the latest Equimax updates


    Great news! We’ve made further updates to our Equimax® insurance solution to better serve clients.  

    Here are some of the changes:

    ● A new guaranteed 10 pay premium option for Equimax Wealth Accumulator®. 
    ● You can now add an Excelerator deposit option (EDO) on Equimax Estate Builder® and Wealth Accumulator plans with a 10 Pay premium option (term rider not required at issue of the policy). 
    ● We increased our flexibility with EDO. This will make it easier for clients to stop and start EDO contributions without losing their maximum approved contribution room. On top of that, these changes will apply to all inforce policies. A single set of EDO rules will apply to every Equimax policy whether it’s issued tomorrow or 10 years ago, making it simpler to help clients manage their policies. 
    ● We increased the maximum amount of Equimax coverage that can be applied for without a special quote from $20M to $25M.
      




    Equimax is now an even better and stronger solution. For a full breakdown of these product updates visit our splash page.

  7. Let’s talk about Critical Illness insurance, the Equitable way. Having critical illness insurance benefits in an important time of need is so valuable. Get the right critical illness insurance coverage for your clients.

    In 2022, we made some significant updates to our EquiLiving® Critical Illness insurance plans to provide better choices and features for clients.

    ●  The addition of Acquired Brain Injury as a covered condition
    ●  The addition of 20 pay options allowing more choice when choosing the right plan for your clients

    Plus, a Canadian first, the addition of Cloud DX. Cloud DX is a value-added service that provides remote patient monitoring to claimants in addition to the full critical illness benefit paid by Equitable Life®. Cloud DX delivers medical grade hardware directly to the client so that Cloud DX can remotely monitor their vitals to help ensure they are on and stay on the road to recovery.

    *Cloud DX is a non-contractual benefit and may be withdrawn or changed by Equitable Life® at any time. To be eligible for the Cloud DX offering, a claimant must be age 12 or older and have received payment on or after February 12, 2022 for a covered critical condition benefit under an individual critical illness insurance policy issued by Equitable Life. An early detection benefit payment does not qualify.   Equitable Life pays for 6 months of Cloud DX subscription fees.  If the claimant wishes to continue the Cloud DX service after 6 months, they will be responsible for the cost.

  10. See how choosing Equimax Participating Whole Life can help Raj plan for his family’s future
    Raj wants to buy life insurance. He has wealth he’s grown over the years. He wants it to go to his family. He likes what participating whole life has to offer.

    By choosing an Equimax participating whole life insurance policy with Equitable Life, Raj gets permanent insurance coverage with tax-advantaged cash growth. His policy can also earn annual dividend payments.

    He learns about how his premiums go into a participating account and are invested. Some of that investment can come back to him as dividends.

    With Equitable Life, dividends are shared only with participating policyholders. This makes Equimax Participating Whole Life an easy choice for Raj.
