  5. There is still time for your clients to contribute to their Tax-Free Savings Account


    If you have clients that have not contributed to their Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) this year, great news… there is still time!

    You know that an Equitable Life® TFSA is a great way to save. Each year residents of Canada who are at least 18 years of age are eligible to invest up to $6,000* into their TFSA, in addition to any previously unused contribution room. Deposits made into a TFSA are made with after-tax dollars. This means that withdrawals can be made at any time on a tax-free basis.

    Interested in increasing an existing Pre-Authorized Debit (PAD) TFSA deposit?
    Clients with an existing PAD (or who had one in the previous six months), can go online to make any adjustments to a scheduled deposit to their TFSA. Clients can simply login to Equitable Life’s Client Access®. Client Access is Equitable’s secure online client site that connects clients to tools and policy information.
     
    Consider a one-time deposit or set up a PAD?
    To get started with one-time deposit, clients simply log in to their online bank account and select the option to add a new bill/payee and search for Equitable Life Savings Plan. The Equitable Life savings plan policy number will serve as the account number.

    Clients that complete their deposits using online banking do not have to worry about mailing a cheque or missing the deadline. Deposits are applied based on the investment direction on file.

    If you have clients that would like to set up a PAD, simply complete Form #378. For details on how to submit forms during COVID-19, refer to the NEW APPLICATIONS & TRANSACTION AUTHORIZATION REQUIREMENTS webpage.
     
    If you have any questions, please reach out to your local Regional Investment Sales Manager or Advisor Services at 1.866.884.7427 Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. ET or email savingsretirement@equitable.ca.
     

    *The annual TFSA limit is set by Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and is currently $6,000. Your notice of assessment will tell you if you have unused contribution room from previous years. Contributions over the maximum will be charged a monthly penalty of 1% by CRA.

  6. Celebrating our most popular Pivotal Select funds

    In August 2022, Equitable® launched 12 new segregated funds in Pivotal Select’s Investment Class (75/75). We wanted to bring some new innovative solutions to the product, including six sustainable investment funds. To say the launch of these funds was successful would be an understatement.

    The funds are quickly becoming some of the most popular funds in Pivotal Select™, and their performance in 2023 was impressive. Equitable wants to celebrate these funds and encourage clients to consider them for their portfolios.

    As of February 29, 2024, nine out of the 12 funds received a 1st quartile ranking for their 1-year return and two more were 2nd quartile. The table below shows the new funds that ranked in the top two quartiles for their 1-year returns.

  9. Steady may be better than perfect. Why dollar-cost averaging matters.


    If clients are saving for a first home, staying consistent matters. A quick explanation of dollar‑cost averaging (DCA) helps them see why investing the same amount on a regular schedule can help reduce the stress of volatility, remove guesswork and keep their First Home Savings Account (FHSA) savings on track — giving you a natural bridge to Equitable’s Grow Your Way Home contest this summer.  

    Reinforce that DCA is about time in the market and consistent behaviour, not trying to pick the “perfect moment.” Here are a few talking points to work DCA into your FHSA conversations.  

    “Consistency beats guesswork.”  

    With DCA, clients contribute a fixed amount on a set cadence (e.g., bi‑weekly). That discipline can help them keep moving toward their saving goals even when headlines are noisy.  

    “Different prices, naturally.”  

    Regular contributions mean clients buy at various price points over time, which can help smooth out the impact of market ups and downs and also help spread risk.  

     

    “Make it automatic.”  

    Align DCA to paydays. Automating bi‑weekly FHSA deposits builds habit, helps reduce friction and keeps clients progressing toward their first home.  


    As you continue FHSA conversations this summer, remind clients that DCA plus automation helps them participate consistently, through all market conditions. And from May 1 to August 31, 2026, every Equitable FHSA account opened and every deposit to an FHSA account earns automatic entries in Equitable’s Grow Your Way Home contest.  

    Use EZcomplete® and EZtransact® to keep contributions seamless and connect with your Director, Investment Sales for additional support, tools and ideas to help you continue these conversations throughout the summer.
