3. Retirement Income Options from Equitable Life
   If you have clients who are reaching retirement age and have a Retirement Savings Plan or locked-in funds from a previous employer, the government requires them to convert these plans by December 31 of the year they turn 71.
    
   If your client is converting a plan, ask them about other existing assets. This is a great opportunity for your client to consolidate assets from other providers; and for you to discuss a lower management fee through Equitable Life’s Pivotal Select Preferred Pricing Program.
    
   For more information on the options available for clients who are reaching retirement age and the advantages of each, check out the following materials.

6. Spring update and dividend scale for 2025/2026
   Good news! The Equitable^® Board of Directors has approved continuing our current dividend scale for the period of July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026.
   
   • The interest rate* we use to decide the dividend scale will stay at 6.40%.
   • Other factors used to decide the dividend scale will stay the same.
   • The interest rate for policies with dividends on deposit will stay at 3.50%.
   • The interest rate for most policy loans will stay at 6.50%. This applies to both new and existing policy loans, and automatic premium loans. It specifically applies to Equimax^® policies with a 9-digit policy number that starts with either "3" or "8". Older policies may have different loan rates as they are based on the prime interest rate.
   
   *The dividend scale interest rate (DSIR) is different from the participating account (PAR) rate of return. The DSIR smooths out the ups and downs of the participating account experience. The PAR rate of return is the return on the investments in the participating account over the calendar year.

7. Change to the Equitable Life Active Balanced Income Fund effective July 1, 2025 We’re making a small change to the Equitable Life Active Balanced Income Fund. The fund’s investment split was previously 50/50 between stocks (equities) and bonds (fixed income). As of July 1, the split changed to 40% stocks and 60% bonds.
   
   Clients invested in the Equitable Life Active Balanced Income Fund will be notified of this change via their statement.
   
   Why this change matters:
   This change ensures the three Equitable Life Active Balanced funds are better differentiated from each other, covering a wider range of client needs.

   Fund Name	Before July 1 Equities / Fixed Income	On and after July 1 Equities / Fixed Income
   Equitable Life Active Balanced Income Fund	50/50	40/60
   Equitable Life Active Balanced Fund	55/45	No change
   Equitable Life Active Balanced Growth Fund	70/30	No change

   
   The funds’ risk levels and investment categories remain the same.
   
    If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to your Director, Investment Sales.

9. New Dividend Scale effective July 1, 2021 The Equitable Life Insurance Company of Canada Board of Directors has approved a change to the dividend scale for the period July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022. 
    
   • The dividend scale interest rate* will decrease from 6.2% to 6.05%.
   • All series of participating whole life policies issued in the 2012 series and beyond other than the most recent Equimax Estate Builder® series will see an improvement in the mortality component. The most recent Equimax Estate Builder series, for sale as of September 12, 2020, already incorporated better mortality and its mortality component will remain unchanged. Series issued prior to 2012 will see an increase in the overall dividends but results will vary by series and policy.
   • Other factors that are used to calculate the dividend scale will remain unchanged.
   • The interest rate for dividends left on deposit will decrease from 2.75% to 2.25% for all participating whole life policies.
   • The policy loan rate will remain unchanged at 6.2%. This applies to all new and existing policy loans, including automatic premium loans on Equimax® policies that have a 9-digit policy number beginning with a “3” or an “8”. The policy loan rates on some older blocks of policies may increase or decrease because they are tied to the prime interest rate.
    
   *The dividend scale interest rate is not the same as the participating account rate of return in any given calendar year. The dividend scale interest rate smooths out the ups and downs experienced by the participating account.
     
   Policyholder dividends in the next dividend scale year would be approximately $85 million, compared to $67 million in the prior dividend scale year.
    
   The sustained low interest rate environment continues to put downward pressure on the experience in the participating account. If low interest rates continue, investment returns in the participating account will also be lower, and we may need to decrease the dividend scale in the future. 
    
   Your participating whole life clients will receive a notice of the dividend scale change with their annual policy statement. The Equitable Sales Illustrations system will be updated to reflect the new dividend scale. Updated illustration software will be available for download after 9 a.m. ET on June 25, 2021.
