Segregated funds – a secure choice for small-business owners
Canadian small-business owners may be gambling with their financial future by foregoing personal financial protection, especially during times of economic uncertainty. Small-business owners can potentially put their personal property, investments, and even their retirement savings in jeopardy, if they fail to protect these assets. One way to do that is through investing with segregated funds.
Because segregated fund contracts are held outside of the estate, they offer privacy and discretion in passing assets to those you care about most. Segregated funds offer the potential for creditor protection on both registered and non-registered assets, which can be especially advantageous to small business owners and entrepreneurs.
Segregated funds offer small-business protection:- 75% - 100% of your premiums (less withdrawals) are guaranteed when your contract matures or on your death.
- Bypass probate and associated fees by naming a beneficiary.
- No deferred sales charges at death.
- Quick payment to beneficiaries after you pass away.
- Private and confidential beneficiary designations.
- Creditor protection may be available in the event of bankruptcy or lawsuit.

Take emotions out of investing
Taking the emotion out of investing can be easier said then done. Most of us at one time or another have decided upon something strictly because of how we felt at the time, not because it was logical or made good financial sense. I am sure most of us have a good story to tell.
When it comes to financial planning, you always want to encourage your clients to be a rational investor and accept that market fluctuation is part of the investment journey. Over the last few months, even the hardiest rational investor has been challenged to accept the market fluctuations. History shows us that this too, shall pass and markets will rise once more. The biggest question asked is always, when?
While no one has a crystal ball with that answer, the best we can do is help our clients understand that when building portfolios, risk is always at the forefront of any good investment strategy. The level of risk is just one of the building blocks to constructing a financial portfolio that will see the client through good times and bad.

We have also included a template letter that you can personalize and use to reach out to your clients. To download an editable copy, click here.

Reminder: Deadline to opt out of Alberta biosimilar coverage changes
In November 2020, we announced via eNews that on March 15, 2021, we are changing coverage for some biologic drugs in Alberta in response to the province’s Biosimilar Initiative. These changes will help protect your client’s plans from additional drug costs while still providing access to equally safe and effective biosimilars.
Do my clients need to take any action?
Traditional groups who wish to opt out of this change and maintain coverage of these originator biologics for Alberta plan members can submit a policy amendment. Amendments must be submitted no later than January 15, 2021.
Advisors with myFlex Benefits clients who wish to maintain coverage of these originator biologics for Alberta plan members should speak to their myFlex Sales Manager to confirm their eligibility to opt out of this change.
Otherwise, no action is required on their part. Plan members taking these biologics will be contacted directly to allow them ample time to change their prescription. Any cost savings associated with the change will be factored in at renewal.
Questions?
We have compiled a list of frequently asked questions to help you understand Alberta’s Biosimilar Initiative. If you have a question that isn’t answered here, please contact your Equitable Life Group Account Executive or myFlex Sales Manager.
