NEW MARKETING MATERIAL! Equimax Participating Whole Life, Strong and Stable Dividends
Participating whole life policyholders can get some of the participating account earnings back as dividends.1
Dividend scales change over time. This new marketing piece shows how the actual values of policies look like against those that were estimated. It looks at two sample policies and compares them to the original sales illustrations. One example shows an Equimax Estate Builder® policy. The other example shows an Equimax® Wealth Accumulator® policy.
We are proud of our strong and stable dividend results. We have paid dividends to our participating policyholders every year since 1936. And we’re still going strong!
We want to make sure that we can continue to provide long-term income and growth to support the dividend scale and meet the product guarantees. We do this with constant focus on how we invest and manage risk to support the participating account.
As a mutual life insurance company, we are owned by our policyholders who count on us and our services. Their trust in our knowledge, experience, and financial strength helps us keep our commitments to them—now and in the future.
Dividend scales may change.2 But with a balanced approach, Equitable Life’s Equimax® Participating Whole Life continues to deliver excellent value. It gives guaranteed life insurance protection with the potential for earnings.

1 Dividends are not guaranteed and are paid at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors. Dividends may be subject to taxation. Dividends will vary based on the actual investment returns in the participating account as well as mortality, expenses, lapse, claims experience, taxes, and other experience of the participating block of policies.
2 If low interest rates continue, investment returns will be lower, and this may mean decreases in the dividend scale in the future. Dividend payments are not guaranteed, but they will never be negative. -
Elevate your business with industry best practices and needs-based selling
Keeping your business aligned with industry best practices is vital for your success. It not only supports the fair treatment of clients – it also helps you meet certain market conduct requirements and Equitable’s expectations for needs-based selling.
The Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario (FSRA) has a program that checks how well advisors follow the Insurance Act and its conduct rules. FSRA looks at how well advisors follow industry best practices and fair treatment of clients guidance (see CLHIA’s guidance document, “The Approach”). Their focus is on key areas such as giving sound advice, managing conflicts of interest, and putting clients’ needs first. FSRA selects advisors’ client files and looks for documentation that indicates needs-based selling.
In December 2024, FSRA released its latest Market Conduct Supervision Report. It highlights the need for advisors to follow certain rules and industry best practices. The report found five key areas where improvement is needed:
1. Missing notes from client meetings and calls
2. Inadequate advisor disclosure
3. Missing sales illustrations for different product options
4. Missing insurance needs analysis
5. Missing policy delivery receipts
By following industry best practices and keeping thorough records, you show your commitment to providing clients with the solutions they need. For example, taking notes during client meetings helps you track all discussions that support your recommendations. Having an insurance needs analysis shows you are providing clients with suitable advice to buy the solutions that best meet their needs.
Resources: Equitable® has resources that can help improve your business practices and help you treat clients fairly. We encourage you to check these out:

Join us for an Equitable Life Master Class webcast featuring Dr. Ryan Murphy, Morningstar
You’re invited to our next Equitable® Master Class webcast offering compelling topics and unique ideas from leading experts to help you manage and grow your business.
Just asking clients what their goals are may not be enough. Clients may respond in ways that seem reasonable but might not represent the goals that are truly important to them.
In the Behavioural world, this is known as ‘thinking blind spots’ and stems from behavioural biases we all have. The blind spots can prevent clients from expressing their true goals to you and lead to a plan that doesn’t accurately represent their preferences and motivations.
Join us for an informative discussion led by Dr. Ryan Murphy, head of Morningstar’s global Behavioural insights in how you can get clients past their thinking blind spots.

Equitable Now Accepts eSignatures on all documents (Ind. Ins. & S&R)
View the Guide to completing eSignatures
What are the benefits?
● It’s secure because you no longer need to upload or email documents to us.
● It also removes a step in the process for you - we will get the eSigned documents directly once all signatures are completed and therefore you no longer need to notify us once the documents are signed.
● Your documents will be processed quickly and efficiently.
How does this work?
● Including esign@equitable.ca as a non-signing reviewer is the preferred method as it ensures the security embedded documents are accurately and immediately available for Equitable. We will be automatically notified when signing is complete and will download eSigned forms immediately for processing.
● If not using esign@equitable.ca we require the original signed form and audit trail with all the security features intact.
● The email addresses used to sign must match what is in our file (as provided on the application, for electronic policy delivery or through previous communication). If an email address has changed, or we don’t have an email contact for the signer, we will follow up for confirmation.
● We will accept all eSigning Vendors that have the functionality to place the eSignature in the correct signature fields on all applicable documents. If the eSigning vendor does not have the functionality to do this, we cannot accept it.
