6. Competitive GIA rates and more!
   With many bond funds declining in value over the past year, clients are looking for fixed income alternatives to reduce portfolio risk while providing a principal guarantee and an attractive interest rate.  
   
   Equitable Life® Guaranteed Interest Account (GIA) investment options are ideal for clients who want to create an emergency fund or save for a special purchase. And we’ve recently increased interest rates to make our GIA options even more competitive! 
    
   A few reasons to consider Equitable Life for your GIA business:
   • The GIA advantage – a life insurance contract can provide many estate planning benefits.
   • Industry-leading compensation – we currently pay 40bps of commission per year of term.¹ Many competitors only offer 20 – 25bps per year of term.²
   • Cashable option³ – allows clients to access their money in case of unexpected circumstances. Not many competitors offer this feature.²
   • Advisor rate discretion – advisors can forego up to 40bps of commission for an equal increase in interest rate, making our great rates even better.
   • Step Up Your Wealth Sales program – 100% of GIA net deposits⁴ are used to calculate the 0.75% bonus commission earned on net deposits for 2022.
   • Win-Win – our GIAs allow you to give the client a better interest rate while still earning a good commission.
    
   
    
   For more information, please contact your Equitable Life Regional Investment Sales Manager.

10. 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.
