Interview with Marvin Toy from Equitable Life of Canada
In our video below we interview Marvin Toy, a tax and estate planning consultant that we work with at Equitable Life of Canada.
Marvin started off his career 25 years ago as a tax lawyer specializing in helping owners of businesses manage their tax burdens.
He then started working for insurance companies, due to the great tax advantage opportunities available for his clients through whole life insurance policies and that's how he came to be working for Equitable Life of Canada.
These tax advantage opportunities available to clients through whole life insurance policies is exactly what we focussed on in our interview with Marvin.
Marvin works throughout Western Canada with various Advisors, so he has an excellent perspective on what Canadian Business owners can do with a Whole Life Insurance Policy.
We had the pleasure of asking him a ton of questions as well as learning more about all the different ways Canadian’s are utilizing Whole Life Insurance policies.
