  1. Equitable Now Accepts eSignatures on all documents (Ind. Ins. & S&R)

    View the Guide to completing eSignatures


    What are the benefits?
    ● It’s secure because you no longer need to upload or email documents to us.
    ● It also removes a step in the process for you -  we will get the eSigned documents directly once all signatures are completed and therefore you no longer need to notify us once the documents are signed.
    ● Your documents will be processed quickly and efficiently.

    How does this work?
    ● Including esign@equitable.ca as a non-signing reviewer is the preferred method as it ensures the security embedded documents are accurately and immediately available for Equitable. We will be automatically notified when signing is complete and will download eSigned forms immediately for processing.
    ● If not using esign@equitable.ca we require the original signed form and audit trail with all the security features intact.
    ● The email addresses used to sign must match what is in our file (as provided on the application, for electronic policy delivery or through previous communication). If an email address has changed, or we don’t have an email contact for the signer, we will follow up for confirmation.
    ● We will accept all eSigning Vendors that have the functionality to place the eSignature in the correct signature fields on all applicable documents. If the eSigning vendor does not have the functionality to do this, we cannot accept it.

  3. Reframing retirement with help from Equitable and the Franklin Templeton Academy 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
    The traditional view of retirement income assumes clients will need a specific percentage of their annual pre-retirement income through their senior years. 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.

  9. Let’s “Talk Money”: November is financial literacy month This November, we’re joining the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada’s national campaign to help Canadians feel more confident about money. This year’s theme is “Talk Money”, and it’s all about normalizing money conversations.

    Talking about money— including topics like saving, budgeting, or dealing with debt—can feel hard. But when we speak up, we help reduce stress and build stronger financial habits. As advisors, you can lead the way by starting these conversations with clients.

    How you can help
    • Start the conversation: Ask clients about their goals and worries.
    • Share tools: Use Equitable® Individual Wealth calculators and learning modules to help guide conversations.
    • Support wellness: Money stress affects mental health. Be a calm, helpful voice.

    What’s next?
    Watch for more Financial Literacy Month updates throughout November. We’ll be sharing tips, tools, and conversation starters to help you connect with clients and support their financial journey.

    Let’s help Canadians take small steps toward better financial futures — one conversation at a time.
