  6. Request standard inforce 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 inforce illustrations—at any time—for your clients’ whole life and universal life policies with the click of a button.

    Currently, standard inforce illustrations for whole life and universal life policies are autogenerated only on policy anniversaries. These inforce 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 inforce illustration request form  for whole life or universal life policies.  


    How do I access this?


    You can request an inforce 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. 
     
  7. See how choosing Equimax Participating Whole Life can help Raj plan for his family’s future
    Raj wants to buy life insurance. He has wealth he’s grown over the years. He wants it to go to his family. He likes what participating whole life has to offer.

    By choosing an Equimax participating whole life insurance policy with Equitable Life, Raj gets permanent insurance coverage with tax-advantaged cash growth. His policy can also earn annual dividend payments.

    He learns about how his premiums go into a participating account and are invested. Some of that investment can come back to him as dividends.

    With Equitable Life, dividends are shared only with participating policyholders. This makes Equimax Participating Whole Life an easy choice for Raj.

    Watch our new Dividends with Equitable Life of Canada video to learn more. View on Vimeo or YouTube.






    You can use this video to send to clients before or after meetings to help them understand Dividends with Equitable Life.

    Plus, visit our Equimax product page, then click on the Marketing Materials tab for the latest Dividend marketing materials.
