Understanding debt: A key to building wealth
Why debt matters in wealth conversations
Debt is part of life for many Canadians. But not all debt is the same. As an advisor, you can help clients understand their debt and how to manage it. This is key to building wealth and confidence. Financial Literacy Month is a great time to “Talk Money.”
Types of debt1- Secured: This is backed by something the client owns, like a house or car. Its cost of borrowing or interest rate is usually lower.
- Unsecured: This includes credit cards and personal loans. These debts have no asset behind it and often cost more.
- Revolving: These are like credit cards. The balance owing can carry over to the next month.
- Installment: These are like car loans. Clients pay a set amount each month.
Helping clients manage debt- Pay off high-interest debt first: Credit cards are often a good place to start.
- Consolidate: One lower-interest loan payment can replace many.
- Make a budget: Include debt payments and savings.
- Use insurance-based investments: Segregated funds and Daily/Guaranteed Interest Accounts offer protection and guarantees. These can help clients manage risk while growing wealth.
Why reducing debt matters
Less debt can mean more financial freedom. Clients can save more, stress less, and plan better for retirement. It also helps them leave a financial legacy.
Your role as an advisor
You do more than sell products. You guide clients to make smart choices. Use this article to start a simple, clear conversation about debt—and how Equitable Individual Wealth solutions might fit into their overall financial picture.

Clients with eligible plans can now choose to make beneficiary changes directly online. It is another step in Equitable’s journey of enhancing the client experience.
Which plans are eligible?
Eligible
• Individually owned plans with revocable beneficiary designations.
• Plans with policy owners not living in Quebec.
Not eligible
• Plans with irrevocable or preferred beneficiaries.
• Plans with policy owners living in Quebec.
Our previous process, using form (#671BCF), has not changed. It continues to be available for those who prefer that option.
Note: The new Digital Beneficiary Change Request is currently only available to clients. We will be launching an advisor online option soon. Going forward, we will not make self serve transactions available to clients ahead of advisors.

Request standard in-force illustrations with the click of a button
At Equitable®, we are making continuous improvements to our advisor and client services. We are excited to share an upcoming enhancement.
What’s new?
Beginning on August 15, 2024 , you and your clients will be able to request standard, current in-force illustrations—at any time—for your clients’ whole life and universal life policies with the click of a button.
Currently, standard in-force illustrations for whole life and universal life policies are autogenerated only on policy anniversaries. These in-force illustrations will no longer be autogenerated after August 15, 2024.
Please note: For specialized illustrations—such as those with segregated funds, D2000/D2000+ policies, policies where the insured’s age falls outside existing illustration parameters, or policies that were originally from Clarica—you will still need to use the in-force illustration request form for whole life or universal life policies.
How do I access this?
You can request an in-force illustration by logging into EquiNet® and going to the Policy Details page via Policy Inquiry. Under the Coverage tab, you will now see a button called Inforce Illustration Request. Click the button to request the illustration. Learn more about how to access here.
