Take a look at how Guardian touches the lives of real people.
“Working with an advisor is not just about your current balance sheet,” explains Financial Advisor Yan Katz.1 “It's about finding the right person to work with.” He helps clients like Shant and Kara Banosian grow their wealth and protect their assets.
For over a decade, Shant and Kara have been steadily growing both business and family, and Yan has been working alongside them. "Planning with someone like Yan can help eliminate the unknown," says Shant. Ultimately, the goal of all this planning isn't simply financial success. It's freedom. "Our most valuable asset is time and we just want to spend it with each other."
Tina Landry didn’t think she’d ever need something like critical illness insurance. But as she approached her milestone 50th birthday, she decided, “You never know. Maybe I should sign up.”
Soon after, what started as a routine mammogram led to a breast cancer diagnosis. Within a matter of months, she was electing to undergo a double mastectomy.
“My critical illness benefit was financial support during my toughest fight,” she said. Having that support meant she didn’t have to dip into savings or hesitate before scheduling something important for her recovery. And it was easy. She simply filed her claim online via Guardian Anytime (uploading the required documentation), and a week later, her benefit payment was deposited directly into her bank account.
“I never thought I’d need it,” she said. “But I’m so glad I had it. It let me focus on healing, not stressing.”
“You never know when someone’s going to need a lifesaving blood transfusion. It could be your neighbor. It could be your family member. It could be yourself. Donating blood is an act of kindness, and it makes a difference.”

I was a successful triathlete and trial attorney, and I developed a career-ending disability at a young age. If a rare cancer could enter my life, it could enter anyone’s. My Guardian disability policy has been a blessing. Purchasing this policy while I was healthy helped make my future better.
