Guardian’s Financial Ratings

We understand completely how important it is to purchase life insurance and financial products for the lowest price possible. We also believe that most people and businesses will agree that doing business with a financially stable company that can honor its promises far outweighs saving a few dollars on the products you purchase. Since the company’s inception, Guardian’s management team has taken a conservative approach to life insurance and financial products and has been awarded with top ratings from national rating companies.

Insurance Products offered by Guardian Life

Guardian Life Insurance is committed to offering insurance and financial products that will accommodate the needs of individuals, families, and businesses, and as such, they provide a comprehensive portfolio of life, health, disability, and specialty products.  

Term Life Insurance

Life insurance shoppers who are looking to purchase a large death benefit insurance policy with very affordable rates should always consider Term insurance as a solution. Guardian offers affordably priced Level Term Insurance with policy terms of 10, 15, 20, and 30 years. All of Guardian’s term policies are convertible, which allows the policyholder to convert their temporary coverage to a permanent plan without regard to insurability (no medical exam). Here are actual rates for a $250,000 10-year policy for a male and female non-smoker in health:

Whole Life Insurance

Individuals that prefer Whole Life Insurance typically purchase it because of the guarantees and benefits that come with every whole life policy.

• Coverage for a lifetime 
• Your policy cannot be canceled except for non-payment
• Your premium will never go up. Not for any reason
• Cash value that grows tax-deferred

Universal Life Insurance

Universal Life Insurance (UL) was designed for individuals who want choices. The UL policy offers coverage for a lifetime or can be structured to provide coverage to a certain age.

Universal Life policies offer flexible premiums and death benefits to accommodate the life events of the policyholder. UL insurance, like whole life insurance, accumulates cash value that earns a minimum interest specified by the insurance company and can be accessed for any reason by the policyholder.

Disability Insurance

Disability insurance provides partial income for people in the event of illness or injury. Illness and injury are responsible for the majority of disabilities, including common conditions like heart disease and arthritis, which are not typically covered by workers’ compensation insurance.

Disability benefits are often provided by employers for their employees. Short-term coverage provides for insurance to be rapidly utilized after an accident, while long-term coverage will provide financial protection for disability issues that may last over a period of years. An employer can also provide more coverage on top of the disability benefits if an employee agrees to pay for it themselves.

If you are self-employed or your employer does not offer disability income insurance, you should consider an individual disability insurance policy so that a considerable amount of your income will be replaced by the insurance company in the event that you are disabled
