Guardian report evaluates new wealth-building tools for families

The report, titled Next-Gen Wealth: New opportunities for families and business owners, emphasizes the necessity of disciplined investing and the compounding effects of starting financial planning early. By shifting focus toward multigenerational goals, the insurer aims to provide a roadmap for individuals looking to balance retirement readiness with the transfer of assets.

Nancy DeRusso, Head of Client Solutions at Guardian, notes that these planning tools function best when treated as components of a broader financial strategy rather than standalone solutions. The firm underscores the importance of consulting with financial advisors to navigate tax implications and align business priorities with family-focused outcomes. This release follows a strong fiscal year for the company, which recently announced a record $1.7 billion dividend allocation for 2026.
