LLQP Exam Dumps : Life License Qualification Program (LLQP)

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

To insure someone’s life, there must be insurable interest at the time the policy is initiated. Health Inc. has a business-related financial interest in Leslie, their key employee, which qualifies under Canadian insurance law. The LLQP material confirms that companies may insure key personnel for loss-of-income purposes with insurable interest clearly established.

In the LLQP Segregated Funds and Annuities material, a LIRA (Locked-in Retirement Account) is clearly described as a locked-in, savings-phase vehicle used to hold pension money transferred from an employer-sponsored pension plan when an employee leaves before retirement. A key rule is that withdrawals cannot be made from the locked-in savings account. The curriculum explains that locked-in plans have two phases: a savings phase (LRSP/LIRA) and an income phase (such as LIF/LRIF/PRRIF/RLIF), and only the income-phase accounts permit withdrawals. The text explicitly states that when pension value is transferred into an LRSP/LIRA, the individual gains control over investment choices “except that withdrawals are not allowed.”

That is exactly Stéphane’s situation: his segregated fund investment is held inside a LIRA, meaning the insurer must administer it as locked-in pension money. Even though the segregated fund contract itself has a 10-year term-to-maturity, the maturity date is not the governing restriction here. The governing restriction is the locked-in legislation attached to the LIRA: Stéphane cannot simply “cash in” or redeem the contract to access a lump sum for personal needs such as a divorce settlement.

The LLQP curriculum also notes that unlocking is only permitted in a few specific circumstances (for example, certain cases of financial hardship, shortened life expectancy, or very small balances). Divorce equalization may allow a transfer under family law rules in some jurisdictions, but it does not mean Stéphane can redeem the LIRA for cash on demand; the funds generally remain within locked-in vehicles. Therefore, NRJ Insurance would refuse the redemption request because the assets are locked in.

Accordingly, the correct answer is D: NRJ Insurance cannot carry out the request because the funds are held in a locked-in account and cannot be cashed in right now.

Group segregated funds typically have lower Management Expense Ratios (MERs) than individual segregated funds because group plans benefit from economies of scale and pooled investment options. LLQP highlights that group plans often have reduced fees compared to individual plans due to collective investment and reduced administrative costs​.

Options A and B are incorrect as group plans typically feature lower costs and don’t often charge switching fees. Option C is incorrect as individual segregated funds typically have more flexible death benefit guarantee options, not special rates in group plans.
