Understanding Life Insurance Replacements at Equitable
All provinces require completion of a life insurance replacement declaration (LIRD) or equivalent form if intending to replace an existing insurance contract with a new one. The LIRD helps clients think carefully before terminating their existing policy. It contains important questions for them to consider.
When do you need to send a LIRD to Equitable®?
Refer to our: LIRD requirements by province
Equitable needs to receive the LIRD only in provinces where it is mandated. Please check the province-specific requirements (linked above).
If a client is replacing a life insurance contract with a new one with us, and the owner lives in one of the specified provinces, the LIRD must be sent to Equitable with the application. It should include a written explanation of the questions reviewed with the client and must be signed and dated.
Important reminder: While you will always complete a LIRD, do not submit the LIRD unless we require it. Doing so may delay the new business process.
Note: The LIRD does not terminate the original policy; it indicates intent to do so.
Questions? Please contact your local Equitable wholesaler if you need additional information.

To transfer funds between existing Equitable contracts, simply go to EZtransact, select Make a Transfer on the policy you want to receive the funds, and view your client’s existing contracts all in one place.
Use the new “Other Institution” option to start transfers from any financial institution, even if it’s not part of the standard list.
You’ll see these enhancements in the “Make a Transfer” flow within EZtransact on EquiNet®. It appears right at the point where you select the financial institution for the transfer.
These updates are designed to:
• Give you more flexibility when managing external transfers

Deposits to the Fidelity Special Situations mutual fund are being limited but the segregated fund is
Fidelity Investments® recently said they would no longer accept deposits from new investors into the Fidelity® Special Situations Fund. This notice however does not affect Equitable Life® clients.
The Special Situations Fund will continue to be open to new and existing Equitable Life clients. This includes clients with Pivotal Select™, Pivotal Solutions* or Personal Investment Portfolio segregated funds contracts.
Why is Fidelity limiting access to the mutual fund?
This award-winning mutual fund has grown significantly and now has $3.6 billion of managed assets. To preserve the integrity of the fund’s investment strategy, Fidelity® decided to limit inflows to the fund. Limiting the amount of managed assets held within the fund allows the fund’s portfolio manager to focus on what he does best - finding special situation investment opportunities and capitalizing on positive change within companies and industries across Canada and around the world.
If you like the Special Situations mutual fund, you will value the Equitable Life Fidelity® Special Situations segregated fund. Segregated funds are similar to mutual funds but offer different features and guarantees. To learn about these features, check out the Investment Advantage.

For more information about Equitable Life’s segregated funds, speak to your Regional Investment Sales Manager or visit our segregated funds page on EquiNet®.
