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. -

Equitable Life of Canada ends 2020 in a position of financial strength
Equitable Life of Canada is pleased to report that our strategic approach continued to serve us well in 2020, despite operating in a global pandemic.
Equitable Life, one of Canada’s largest mutual life insurance companies, closed out 2020 with strong earnings and solid growth.
The Company reported earnings of $153 million, equating to a return on policyholders’ equity of 16%. This result was driven by strong sales, investment performance, positive impacts from favourable expense ratios and reserve assumption changes.
“There is no doubt the global pandemic has had, and continues to have, a profound impact on the lives of Canadians and created challenges for all of us in 2020 that we could never have envisioned,” said Ron Beettam, Equitable Life’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Thanks to the resiliency and commitment of our entire team, we effectively responded to unfavourable impacts caused by the pandemic, including market volatility, and continued to achieve a high growth rate on most key measures, ending 2020 in a position of financial strength.”
Equitable Life reported premiums and deposits of $1.7 billion in 2020, contributing to $6.0 billion of assets under administration. This growth was supported by very strong sales during the pandemic, as more Canadians turned to insurance to protect the financial security of their families. Dividends to participating policyholders increased by 24% over the prior year.
The Individual Insurance business reported 2020 sales of $149 million, reflecting the third consecutive year of double-digit sales growth. Savings & Retirement reported sales of $401 million, driven by sales of segregated funds. Group Benefits delivered sales of $46 million, despite competitive industry pricing strategies and the impact the pandemic had on businesses.
Equitable Life finished the year with an impressive LICAT ratio of 166%, well above the regulatory target and one of the highest in the industry. This capital result demonstrates that we are well-positioned to continue meeting our commitments to our policyholders. In addition, DBRS Limited (DBRS Morningstar) upgraded our Financial Strength rating to A (high) with Stable Trends in September.
“While we don’t yet know what future impacts the global pandemic could have on our business, we know we can face the future with confidence,” said Beettam. “I am very proud of all that we have accomplished together, especially throughout this unpredictable year, and I know the Company is very well positioned to meet the challenges ahead and will continue building on those achievements by focusing on organic and profitable growth across all lines of business, with a continued emphasis on meeting the needs of our policyholders and distribution partners.”

Increased auto approval means more time to focus on your complex cases
As the year draws to a close, we are pleased to reflect back on our many enhancements geared toward improving our auto-approval rates and the notable impact they have made on our service standards.
Throughout 2021, we have invested significantly in our services and technology, including data & analytics to ensure that more of our new business applications are approved automatically without any intervention, leaving our teams available to engage in settling your complex cases. As a result of these enhancements, over the past 3 months we have improved from 8% of our new business flowing straight through to approval, to an impressive 25% of cases requiring no underwriting*.
There are a number of factors that contribute to this straight through approval success in processing applications, such as simpler cases, applicants with no medical history or medical issues, younger applicants and applications for lower face amounts. These factors, alongside our ongoing efforts to fortify our processes, has resulted in positive feedback from the field.
Advisors have mentioned you’ve felt the impact on our speed and service, and we will continue forward into 2022 with this positive momentum, with further enhancements to help make it easier for you to do business with Equitable Life.

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.
