Are your clients aware that participating life insurance can be used to supplement their retirement income?

A 2025 retirement survey* found that among unretired respondents, 59% believe they will never be in a financial position to retire, while 66% believe they’ll need to continue working even if they do retire, to support themselves financially.

Many Canadians are unaware of their options for potential sources of income in retirement, and how participating whole life insurance (PAR) can be used as both an estate legacy tool and as a source of supplemental retirement income.

Our Retire with Money in your Pocket strategy using Estate Max^® participating permanent life insurance can help provide an additional source of retirement income.
