Did you know that you can generate a report detailing all or some of your client’s investment policy
This can be a great tool when meeting to review your client’s account.
This easy to read PDF gives you and your client some, or all, of the pertinent policy information to discuss overall investment goals. The reporting tool also allows you to exclude any “Advisor only information” sections. With active links to fund pages, you can even review risk ratings, calendar and compound returns.
Generate the report just prior to your meeting to ensure the most up-to-date information is available to your client. Located in the top right corner of your client’s policy page on EquiNet®, it also makes a great takeaway or follow up for your client before or after your meeting. -
Retirement Income Options from Equitable Life
If you have clients who are reaching retirement age and have a Retirement Savings Plan or locked-in funds from a previous employer, the government requires them to convert these plans by December 31 of the year they turn 71.
If your client is converting a plan, ask them about other existing assets. This is a great opportunity for your client to consolidate assets from other providers; and for you to discuss a lower management fee through Equitable Life’s Pivotal Select Preferred Pricing Program.
For more information on the options available for clients who are reaching retirement age and the advantages of each, check out the following materials.
- When it is time to convert your RSP to a RIF
- Converting your savings into retirement income

Online banking makes RSP season easier
March 1, 2021 is the deadline for clients to make Retirement Savings Plan (RSP) contributions within the first 60 days and that date is quickly approaching! Why not alleviate some stress by having your clients make their deposits using online banking?
To get started with online banking, clients simply log in to their online bank account and select the option to add a new bill/payee and search for Equitable Life Savings Plan. The Equitable Life savings plan policy number will serve as the account number.
Clients that complete their deposits using online banking don’t have to stress about mailing a cheque. Or worry about whether the money will make it to head office in time for the deadline. Deposits are applied based on the investment direction on file.
Deposits can be made to RSPs as well as Tax-Free Savings Accounts and non-registered accounts. The minimum deposit is $50 per fund and $500 per Guaranteed Deposit Account (GDA).
