  1. [pdf] Pivotal Select Application - FHSA
  2. EZcomplete enhancements for segregated fund applications

    When we launched EZcomplete® for segregated funds back in January we heard a lot of positive comments from our advisors. We also heard that we could do better. So that's just what we did.

     

    1. FUNDSERV CODE 

    Advisors with an active FundSERV code no longer need to remember to select the FundSERV code when starting a new segregated fund application. EZcomplete will now default to the FundSERV code.


    2. LOAN DEPOSIT OPTION
    Under the Contributions section of the segregated fund application for Non-registered, TFSA, RSP or Spousal RSP, Loan is now a deposit option under Deposit Types. If Loan is selected, EZcomplete will ask for amount and Lending Company name. Equitable Life® has partnered with B2B Bank to provide investment and RSP loans at competitive rates. Details can be found on EquiNet® under "Loans".


    3. LIMITING SUCCESSOR ANNUITANT
    Applicable to TFSA, RIF and Spousal RIF applications only, EZcomplete will now use validation to prevent advisors from accidentally naming the same person as both successor annuitant and beneficiary, reducing the instances of "not in good order" applications.


    4. ONGOING PAD FUND SELECTION
    If Ongoing PAD is selected as a Deposit Type, an advisor can allocate the Ongoing PAD to a fund allocation that is different than the rest of the deposit options.


    5. TRANSFER FORM NOTIFICATION
    The MGA and advisor confirmation emails now include text to confirm that a Transfer Form has been uploaded and submitted as part of the segregated fund application. This additional information will act as a reminder to the Advisor/MGA to send the Transfer Form to the relinquishing institution.

     

    6. POPULATING FIELDS
    Advisors will no longer need to keep entering the same advisor and MGA information on new segregated fund applications. The first time an advisor code is used on an EZcomplete segregated fund application, the advisor will populate all the required fields. Each subsequent time a new segregated fund application is created with the same advisor code, the following fields will pre-populate with the values that were last entered.

    a) Advisor Email
    b) Dealer/MGA Name
    c) Branch Number
    d) MGA Email

  3. Changes to RRSP to RIF Conversion Form - Pivotal Select (Form #1673)

    Equitable Life® has recently updated the RRSP to RIF Conversion Form (Form #1673).

    Summary of Change - The changes made to the Spousal section include clarification about beneficiary information and spousal consent.

    The paper version of the updated RRSP TO RIF CONVERSION FORM - PIVOTAL SELECT (Form #1673) is now available on the Forms page of EquiNet®.

  7. Take emotions out of investing
    Taking the emotion out of investing can be easier said then done. Most of us at one time or another have decided upon something strictly because of how we felt at the time, not because it was logical or made good financial sense. I am sure most of us have a good story to tell.

    When it comes to financial planning, you always want to encourage your clients to be a rational investor and accept that market fluctuation is part of the investment journey. Over the last few months, even the hardiest rational investor has been challenged to accept the market fluctuations. History shows us that this too, shall pass and markets will rise once more. The biggest question asked is always, when?

    While no one has a crystal ball with that answer, the best we can do is help our clients understand that when building portfolios, risk is always at the forefront of any good investment strategy. The level of risk is just one of the building blocks to constructing a financial portfolio that will see the client through good times and bad.

We have also included a template letter that you can personalize and use to reach out to your clients. To download an editable copy, click here.

     
  8. Take the emotions out of investing

    Investing without letting our emotions take the wheel can be quite a challenge. We've all made decisions based on our feelings rather than logic or financial sense at some point. But following our emotions when investing is a good way to put our investment plan at risk.

    When it comes to financial planning, it's crucial to guide clients towards being rational investors who understand that market fluctuations are part of the journey. Even the most steadfast rational investors have found it tough to stay calm amidst recent market volatility. But history reassures us that this too shall pass, and the markets will rise again. The burning question is always, "When?"

    While no one can predict the future, an advisors’ role is to help clients grasp that risk management is a cornerstone of any solid investment strategy. Risk is just one of the building blocks in crafting a financial portfolio that can weather both good times and bad.

    That’s why Equitable® has created an emotional investing brochure to help clients manage through extraordinary times.  Download your copy of Take emotions out of investing.
