New: Total cost reporting resources to help you manage the transition

With the Total Cost Reporting (TCR) rule changes in effect as of this year, we want to ensure you have the tools you need to explain these changes and the value of segregated funds to your clients. 

 

While the costs associated with segregated funds aren't new, clients will now see a clearer breakdown of these fees starting with their December 2026 statements. To support you during this transition, we've created a TCR Advisor Resource Page to reinforce the value of the professional advice and protection Empire Life segregated funds provide.

 

We've also updated our Empire Life GIF client pieces to emphasize the features and benefits, including the maturity and death benefit guarantees and death benefit resets:

  • Empire Life GIF 75/75 One-pager: For clients looking to build their wealth with protection.
  • Empire Life GIF 75/100 One-pager: For clients looking to grow and protect their legacy.

    Locked-In Retirement Accounts

    Locked-in retirement accounts (LIRAs) are often misunderstood, yet they play an important role in retirement income planning when clients leave an employer, go through a marital breakdown, or receive pension assets as a survivor. This webinar explains how LIRAs work, how they differ from RRSPs, and the rules around access, withdrawals, and conversion at retirement.
