Equitable® Savings & Retirement and Franklin Templeton Academy have teamed up again with two pre-recorded On-Demand webcasts that can help you reframe retirement goals and planning discussions with clients.
Rethinking Retirement Income

In this session you will learn how our notions of retirement have changed over the years, the difference between the traditional and goals-based planning approaches, and how we can help you implement a goals-based retirement income planning strategy.

AI – Not a replacement for good judgement
When it comes to AI, clients’ interests come first
Artificial intelligence, or AI, is changing how we work in Canada. It helps us do things faster, makes talking to others easier, and takes care of many daily tasks. As of mid-2025, studies show that more than 68% of Canadian financial firms — including about 15,000 advisors and 2,500 agencies — have already started using AI to stay ahead, reach clients, and handle routine tasks.1,2
For financial advisors, AI can be useful and exciting, as long as it’s used wisely and always with client privacy and regulatory compliance in mind.
AI can make your day-to-day work easier but use it with care:
• Know the risks as well as the rewards
• Remember, AI is a tool —it can’t replace your expertise and good judgement!
• When using AI, always protect client privacy and follow the rules
AI is changing how we all work. To help you keep up, we encourage you to stay up to date with industry news and tips about AI. For example, the following recent news article has some helpful tips on using AI safely and effectively in your practice: Using artificial intelligence can pose risks for advisors
When you use AI, stay vigilant and informed, use your good judgement—and always put the client’s interests first.

Understanding debt: A key to building wealth
Why debt matters in wealth conversations
Debt is part of life for many Canadians. But not all debt is the same. As an advisor, you can help clients understand their debt and how to manage it. This is key to building wealth and confidence. Financial Literacy Month is a great time to “Talk Money.”
Types of debt1- Secured: This is backed by something the client owns, like a house or car. Its cost of borrowing or interest rate is usually lower.
- Unsecured: This includes credit cards and personal loans. These debts have no asset behind it and often cost more.
- Revolving: These are like credit cards. The balance owing can carry over to the next month.
- Installment: These are like car loans. Clients pay a set amount each month.
Helping clients manage debt- Pay off high-interest debt first: Credit cards are often a good place to start.
- Consolidate: One lower-interest loan payment can replace many.
- Make a budget: Include debt payments and savings.
- Use insurance-based investments: Segregated funds and Daily/Guaranteed Interest Accounts offer protection and guarantees. These can help clients manage risk while growing wealth.
Why reducing debt matters
Less debt can mean more financial freedom. Clients can save more, stress less, and plan better for retirement. It also helps them leave a financial legacy.
Your role as an advisor
You do more than sell products. You guide clients to make smart choices. Use this article to start a simple, clear conversation about debt—and how Equitable Individual Wealth solutions might fit into their overall financial picture.
Talk to your Director, Investment Sales today for more strategies to help clients with debt.
