New Dividend Scale effective July 1, 2021
The Equitable Life Insurance Company of Canada Board of Directors has approved a change to the dividend scale for the period July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022.
- The dividend scale interest rate* will decrease from 6.2% to 6.05%.
- All series of participating whole life policies issued in the 2012 series and beyond other than the most recent Equimax Estate Builder® series will see an improvement in the mortality component. The most recent Equimax Estate Builder series, for sale as of September 12, 2020, already incorporated better mortality and its mortality component will remain unchanged. Series issued prior to 2012 will see an increase in the overall dividends but results will vary by series and policy.
- Other factors that are used to calculate the dividend scale will remain unchanged.
- The interest rate for dividends left on deposit will decrease from 2.75% to 2.25% for all participating whole life policies.
- The policy loan rate will remain unchanged at 6.2%. This applies to all new and existing policy loans, including automatic premium loans on Equimax® policies that have a 9-digit policy number beginning with a “3” or an “8”. The policy loan rates on some older blocks of policies may increase or decrease because they are tied to the prime interest rate.
*The dividend scale interest rate is not the same as the participating account rate of return in any given calendar year. The dividend scale interest rate smooths out the ups and downs experienced by the participating account.
Policyholder dividends in the next dividend scale year would be approximately $85 million, compared to $67 million in the prior dividend scale year.
The sustained low interest rate environment continues to put downward pressure on the experience in the participating account. If low interest rates continue, investment returns in the participating account will also be lower, and we may need to decrease the dividend scale in the future.
Your participating whole life clients will receive a notice of the dividend scale change with their annual policy statement. The Equitable Sales Illustrations system will be updated to reflect the new dividend scale. Updated illustration software will be available for download after 9 a.m. ET on June 25, 2021.

Earth Day: A simple way to talk about sustainable investing
Earth Day is a great time to talk with clients about investing with purpose. This year’s theme—Our Power, Our Planet—highlights the impact of individual and collective choices, including how we invest.
Many Canadians are interested in sustainable investing, which looks at environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors alongside long term returns. Clients want to understand how the power of their money can support positive change—without sacrificing performance. Sustainable investing can look at things like reducing carbon impact, supporting fair workplaces, and encouraging strong company leadership.
Watch out for greenwashing
Not all investments labeled “sustainable” are the same. Some products may use the term without real environmental efforts or strategies. This is known as greenwashing.
That’s where advisors can add value. By understanding how funds are built and what they hold, you can help clients make informed choices they feel confident about.
How Equitable can help
Equitable® offers sustainable investing fund options that include ESG considerations as part of a disciplined investment approach. Take this opportunity to review available options and fund details.
You can also support sustainability through how you work with clients. Equitable’s paperless tools help reduce paper consumption and improve efficiency:
• Equitable Client Access® for online account viewing
• EZtransact® for fast, digital transactions
• EZcomplete® for easy, paper free applications
Take action
Earth Day is a great time to:
• Start simple conversations about sustainable investing
• Share Equitable’s sustainable fund options with clients
• Promote paperless tools that are better for clients and the environment
Small steps—done consistently—can make a meaningful difference for clients and the planet. If you have questions, speak with your Director, Investment Sales.

Can’t meet in person? EZcomplete is an EZ way to meet online
Instead of canceling your meeting, why not meet online instead? Our EZcomplete® application makes it easy to process your non-face-to-face applications and do business with Equitable Life.
EZcomplete is available on Pivotal Select™ segregated funds and all life products – Term, Whole Life, CI and Universal Life – and allows for the signing process to change from in-person to non face-to-face at the end of the application, despite how it was started. This gives you and your clients the option to easily and efficiently connect remotely.
How does it work?
EZcomplete gives you the option to conduct your non face-to-face business easily and quickly, enabling your clients to provide their signature remotely on their own device. You simply need to enter their email address and provide them with a secret passcode to securely access the documents to review and sign.
There is no limit on the face amounts or product options and the time to settle is reduced when using the application. It is a flexible, intuitive tool to use, and helps keep business on track now that many clients and advisors are opting for more social distance.
For Life Advisors, please refer to the New Business and Underwriting page on Equinet for details about non-face-to-face delivery. -

Discover the latest Equimax updates
Great news! We’ve made further updates to our Equimax® insurance solution to better serve clients.
Here are some of the changes:
● A new guaranteed 10 pay premium option for Equimax Wealth Accumulator®.
● You can now add an Excelerator deposit option (EDO) on Equimax Estate Builder® and Wealth Accumulator plans with a 10 Pay premium option (term rider not required at issue of the policy).
● We increased our flexibility with EDO. This will make it easier for clients to stop and start EDO contributions without losing their maximum approved contribution room. On top of that, these changes will apply to all inforce policies. A single set of EDO rules will apply to every Equimax policy whether it’s issued tomorrow or 10 years ago, making it simpler to help clients manage their policies.
● We increased the maximum amount of Equimax coverage that can be applied for without a special quote from $20M to $25M.
