Join us for an Equitable Life Master Class webcast featuring Dr. Ryan Murphy, Morningstar
You’re invited to our next Equitable® Master Class webcast offering compelling topics and unique ideas from leading experts to help you manage and grow your business.
Just asking clients what their goals are may not be enough. Clients may respond in ways that seem reasonable but might not represent the goals that are truly important to them.
In the Behavioural world, this is known as ‘thinking blind spots’ and stems from behavioural biases we all have. The blind spots can prevent clients from expressing their true goals to you and lead to a plan that doesn’t accurately represent their preferences and motivations.
Join us for an informative discussion led by Dr. Ryan Murphy, head of Morningstar’s global Behavioural insights in how you can get clients past their thinking blind spots.

Most employers staying the course on benefits during COVID-19
With businesses suffering hardship due to COVID-19, employers are turning to you for advice on their benefits plans during these difficult times. We’ve received numerous questions from advisors about changes our clients are making to their plans during this crisis.
So far, the vast majority of clients are standing pat and taking a wait-and-see approach. Plan amendments have been the exception – fewer than 1% of our clients have made COVID-19-related amendments as of mid-April. Almost all are clients with fewer than 50 lives.
We know that many of our clients have experienced layoffs, but hardly any have cancelled benefits. Fewer than 0.1% have terminated benefits to date.
Below is a snapshot of plan amendments and terminations relative to our overall block, and an overview of the types of amendments we’re seeing.
COVID-19-related plan changes on Equitable Life’s block of businessAs of April 15, 2020


Have clients who need to make a change?
We know this is a difficult time for Canadian employers. If you have a client who needs to make a change to their plan, please contact your Group Account Executive or myFlex Sales Manager. We have a range of options to help them manage, and changes can be made quickly. The average turnaround time for COVID-19-related amendments is currently about four days.
We’re happy to work with each employer to understand the options that suit their specific situation best.

Important cybersecurity readiness guidance
As an advisor, you collect and store clients’ sensitive personal information. Protecting this information is essential. In July 2023, the Canadian Insurance Services Regulatory Organization (CISRO) released a guide on Cybersecurity Readiness. It includes tips on keeping this sensitive client data and your business systems safe.
Please read the guide in full. Also, check your own practices to be cyber ready and reduce your risk of an incident.
Some key tips in the guide include:
1. Make cybersecurity a priority: Stay alert to cyber threats. These can be suspicious emails, texts or calls. Make sure your team knows how to keep your data and systems safe and has clear, documented processes to follow.
2. Know what to protect: Understand what data and business systems need to be protected.
3. Identify the risks: Spot the risks in your practice and those from third-party service providers.
4. Implement security measures: Take steps to protect your data and business systems.
5. Be ready to respond: Know how to spot and react to cyber incidents. The guide has useful tips on creating a Cyber Incident Response Plan.
And lastly – if you receive client instructions electronically (by email, text, or messaging apps), always confirm these over the phone to ensure it’s really the client sending the instructions.
Keep your business and important client data safe by staying informed and alert. We encourage you to read the full Cybersecurity Readiness document to learn more about how to prepare for cyber threats.
In our industry, protecting clients’ sensitive data and systems is essential. Thank you for your commitment to cybersecurity!
