Financial professionals can now manage variable universal life insurance policies through the full-service management platform

Equitable, a leading financial services organization and principal franchise of Equitable Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: EQH), today announced that financial professionals will now be able to service their clients’ VUL Optimizer® variable universal life insurance policies through the company’s Corporate Endowment Solutions (CES) platform.

CES provides financial professionals with a full-service platform for their clients’ policies, ranging from front-end sales and advanced illustration support through ongoing modeling and asset and liability reporting. This helps financial professionals more efficiently service and help their clients track the progress of their individual or corporate-owned life insurance policies as part of their broader financial plans. The CES platform is also available to clients, enabling them to easily access illustrations and better understand their policies.

“As we continue to navigate market volatility and inflationary pressures, it is more important than ever that financial professionals have the tools and information to help clients optimize their policies and provide them with real-time guidance and service as they progress towards their financial goals. This includes helping their clients accumulate assets, create tax-advantaged income and leave a legacy for their loved ones,” said Hector Martinez, Head of Life Insurance at Equitable.

VUL Optimizer® is a flexible premium variable universal life insurance product designed to maximize policyholders’ future income. VUL Optimizer® includes access to more than 80 investment options to help investors protect their family and build assets to supplement retirement income. With the addition of VUL Optimizer® to CES and its administration platform, financial professionals will have access to the benefits of contract administration support through the life of the policy. The CES solution is available for VUL Optimizer® policies of $20,000 in premiums or more.

Support for financial professionals through CES includes:

  • Access to daily values to see fund transfers and rebalance invested assets;
  • the ability to prepare annual reviews and provide rebalancing recommendations;
  • access to historical transaction files for premiums, investment elections and investment changes since the start of the policy;
  • access to independent quarterly fund analysis and generation of strategic asset allocation models;
  • and notifications of changes to the policy.

“Our mission at CES is to help financial professionals design holistic plans so they can better serve their small business clients. Today’s announcement underscores our commitment to continue to enhance our platform with the tools small business owners need to not only support their own goals but also retain key employees,” said Randy O’Brien, Head of Corporate Endowment Solutions at Equitable.

Equitable acquired CES in 2020. Since that time, use of CES’s platforms to offer and service corporate-owned and individual life insurance policies has steadily grown. CES is a leader in the design, implementation and administration of corporate life insurance. For corporate-owned and qualified VUL Optimizer® products, CES provides asset allocation and retirement income updates and recommendations to help financial professionals and their small business owner and executive clients accumulate assets and actively manage their retirement portfolios.
