Empire Life Insurance

Empire Life Insurance

Founded in 1923 by Milton Palmer Langstaff in Toronto, Ontario, The Empire Life Insurance Company later found its permanent home a little further east in Kingston. Since 2001, President and CEO Leslie C. Herr has driven the company’s growth, leading Empire Life to become one of the top-10 life insurance companies in Canada. Today, Empire Life is committed to remaining Canada’s most convenient insurance and investment company by offering insurance products and investment options to satisfy individuals, families and business owners.

Simple, Fast & Easy Insurance

Comprised of more than 800 financial advisors across the nation, Empire Life helps nearly half a million clients to build their wealth and protect their financial security. The company offers three primary lines of business: Individual Insurance, Investments, and Group Benefits.

Individual Insurance

Empire’s advisors simplify insurance, making your experience quick and easy to understand. Using a combination of formulas, calculators and software, Empire advisors will help you determine exactly what type and how much insurance is right for your individual needs. To minimize risk while maximizing coverage, Empire believes that having the right balance of insurance is the key to a healthy financial plan.

Fact: 65% of Canadians indicate that they either have too little
or no life insurance coverage.

Let an Empire Life insurance advisor help you choose:

• Term Insurance: When you need affordable protection for your family or business, Term life insurance provides four options, Solution ART, Solution 10, Solution 20 and Solution 30. Term life insurance is ideal for families with a mortgage, or individuals looking for affordable coverage with future flexibility. It’s also ideal for small- to medium-business owners who need to cover overhead and start-up costs, and for business owners with employees and complex business arrangements.
• Permanent Life Insurance: Empire Life offers one permanent life insurance option called Solution 100. This non-participating permanent life insurance is ideal for mature clients who want to protect their estate or provide generous gifts to their favourite charities, and for young children needing long-term value today. Solutions 100 is simple, affordable insurance for complex strategies.
• Permanent Participating Life Insurance: A type of whole life insurance, Permanent Participating life insurance offers cash surrender values, allowing clients to “participate” profits paid out via dividends. Empire Life offers two permanent life insurance options, Optimax Wealth and EstateMax, each of which offers three payment options. Permanent participating life insurance is best suited for young children and individuals looking for short or long term growth of their estate protection, as well as for families adverse to volatile market swings and small business owners with short and long term protection needs. While no one can guarantee dividends, Empire Life has a track record of paying dividends on its participating plans every year since 1923.
• Critical Illness Insurance: Empire offers two simple, affordable critical illness insurance protection options, Empire Life CI Protect and Empire Life CI Protect Plus. These plans offer peace of mind to individuals who are concerned about future health problems, and to high-net-worth clients looking to protect their retirement plans.
