2. Repositioned Wealth Accumulator available

   Repositioned Equimax Wealth available now

   As we continue to grow to meet the needs of various market segments, our product options for your high net worth (HNW) clients have also been improved. Equimax Wealth Accumulator^® has been repositioned to meet the needs of your high net worth clients by providing more deposit room and competitive early cash values.

   Equimax Wealth is now repositioned for your high net worth clients

   Equimax Wealth Accumulator is now targeted for clients ages 45 to 65 with an insurance need but also looking for tax advantaged growth as an alternative to traditional investments. It allows your clients to achieve both while diversifying their portfolio and saving taxes, particularly for corporations.
   

   Highlights of the repositioned Equimax Wealth Accumulator:

   • More deposit room - Allows for significantly more deposit room by reducing the initial death benefit. This means more money can be paid into the policy to promote the tax-advantaged investment growth.
   • Higher early cash surrender values - We are more competitive on total cash value in years 1 to 10 in the target market ages of 45-65. The higher extra deposit room and early surrender cash value allows the illustration to show an earlier premium offset, which is key for the HNW market.
   • More competitive on life pay - Improvements to life pay more notable than 20 pay. Reduced premiums for most male and female non-smokers in our target market (ages 45-65) as well as 2, 3, and 4 year improvement in illustration of premium offset.
   • More competitive at older ages - A shift in the target market means you can support older clients in the HNW market. The Equimax Wealth Accumulator is now more competitive at ages 45-65.

   Changes to Short-Term Disability benefits calculations*

   The Canada Employment Insurance Commission and Canada Revenue Agency have announced the 2024 changes to Maximum Insurable Earnings, and premiums for employment insurance. The following changes to Employment Insurance (EI) will take effect January 1, 2024:
   

   How does this affect your clients?

   To comply with client policy provisions, Equitable will revise Short-Term Disability (STD) benefits with the updated maximums based on the percentage of EI Maximum Weekly Insurance Earnings for policies that meet these conditions:

   • Policies that include a STD benefit that is tied to the EI Maximum Weekly Insurable Earnings, and
   • Policies with a classification of employees that has less than a $668 maximum.
   • The additional premium for any increase from their previous STD amounts and new STD amounts will be shown on your clients’ January 2024 Group Insurance Billings (as applicable). 

   If a client’s STD maximum is currently higher than $668 or based on a flat amount (not based on a percentage or regular earnings), no change will be made to their plan unless otherwise directed.
    
   If your clients wish to provide direction regarding revising their STD maximum, or have questions about the process, they can email Kari Gough, Manager, Group Issue and Special Projects.

6. Paramedicals are Re-opening Shortly We are pleased to announce that face-to-face insurance testing paramedical services, including the collection of vitals & fluids, are resuming shortly.  Our service providers, Dynacare and ExamOne, have been monitoring the public health standards and have established standards they will operate under to protect the health of both the applicant and health professionals.
    
   Our commitment to your client’s safety
   It is Equitable Life's commitment that both clients and advisors will be provided clear and thoughtful communication before initiating any testing. Clients should fully understand the potential risks associated with having a paramedical test taken at this time and are always able to choose not to attend the appointment if they do not feel comfortable or safe.
    
   How will paramedical services be conducted?
   Dynacare is conducting appointments at fixed site facilities where clients will travel to the health professional for their appointment. The paramedical questions will be covered by video or telephone to minimize the time spent in the fixed site facility. For more information, see Dynacare’s COVID-19 client guide that will be provided to the client directly.
    
   ExamOne examiners will travel to the client’s home for their appointment and the entire paramedical will be conducted at that time. Information about ExamOne’s COVID-19 processes and their Preparing for my exam client guide will also be provided to the client directy.
    
   When are paramedical services re-opening?
   In person paramedical services for Equitable Life cases will begin opening gradually. We have worked closely with our service providers, the CLHIA & provincial governments and believe it is prudent to begin re-opening services in the provinces that have a lower incidence of COVID-19.  We will expand the schedule as the incidence of COVID-19 lowers or is expected to lower in specific regions.
    
   Please note if you had an order in process prior to services shutting down, the provider will be looking to re-open and complete those orders. If requirements are no longer needed given the non-med limit changes, the order will remain closed.
    
   Schedule for re-opening paramedical services:

   Province	Start Date
   Saskatchewan	June 1-Dynacare, June 11-ExamOne
   New Brunswick	June 8-Dynacare, June 11-ExamOne
   PEI and Newfoundland	June 15, Dynacare and ExamOne
   Manitoba	June 15, Dynacare and ExamOne

   Note: Start dates are subject to change based on the progress of COVID-19.

10. 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.
