3. International Women’s Day

   Reflecting on inclusion in our industry
   
   International Women’s Day is a great opportunity to pause and think about how we support the women clients we serve. In wealth management, inclusion is not just a theme for one day a year — it plays a critical role in building stronger relationships and long‑term business growth.
   
   Our recent Master Class – From Insight to Inclusion: Engaging Women Investors with Confidence –reinforced this.

   The 60-minute session, featuring Susan Silma, Client Experience Transformation Leader and industry speaker and columnist, looked at why many women still feel under‑served in our industry and what advisors can do to create a more engaging and supportive experience.
   
   Here are a few key takeaways from the conversation:

   •  Inclusion strengthens your practice. When women feel heard and understood, trust grows —and so does loyalty.
   •  Start with better conversations. Susan shared ways to turn research and insights into everyday discussions that feel relevant and meaningful to women.
   •  Consistency builds confidence. A clear, repeatable process for prospecting, onboarding and reviewing plans with women clients helps ensure they feel included from day one.
   
   Did you know: 82% of advisors who attended the live Master Class identified the need to add more women clients to their business.
   
   As we celebrate International Women’s Day, it is a good reminder that creating a space where women feel comfortable, informed and valued benefits everyone — and positions your practice for long‑term success.
   
   If you missed the session — or would like to revisit the ideas — the Master Class recording is now available on demand. On behalf of everyone at Equitable, Happy International Women’s Day, Canada!

   We’re excited to announce our partnership with Empathy– the company behind the Empathy Loss Support benefit.
   
   As a trusted advisor, you play a vital role in guiding clients through some of life’s most difficult moments. We understand this and believe Empathy can provide vital support at a time of loss. This is why Equitable^® has added this new benefit to all new and existing individual life insurance policies at no additional cost.
   
   About Empathy
   Empathy Loss Support begins when a claim is initiated. When a client’s loved one notifies us, our Client Care Centre connects them to Empathy’s user-friendly app or website. They can choose the Empathy services they need, including human support, and helpful tools. Empathy will help them navigate both the emotional and logistical challenges following a loss.

6. Help clients navigate the tax landscape across investment types with Equitable With tax time in full swing, you’re invited to a helpful webcast that will explain how different investment types are taxed. This will give you simple language you can use to build clearer conversations with clients.
   
   This session will help you explain the key differences between:

   • Registered plans (which shelter or defer tax):
        • RRSP: Contributions offset taxable income. Taxes are deferred until withdrawals are made.
        • RRIF/LIF: All withdrawals are taxable.
        • FHSA: Contributions, withdrawals, and transfers appear on T4FHSA/Relevé 32.
        • TFSA:  Helps your investments grow tax-free.

   • Non‑registered plans (which are taxed yearly):
        • Income is taxed each year (not deferred). 
        • Reporting usually comes through T3 or T5 slips.
