Berkshire Life specializes in products that are excellent for highly skilled professionals, executives and business owners.In 2001, Berkshire Life Insurance Company merged with The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America. The newly formed Berkshire Life Insurance Company of America is now responsible for all individual DI insurance products for the merged companies. Their combined strength in this competitive field has created a new force to be reckoned with in the twenty first century. But the DI mission is only part of this very positive story. In Berkshire, Guardian also gains greater capacity for specialty life product development. Indeed, the merger has already propelled the subsidiary forward with important new product opportunities to explore in the institutional market and among high-net-worth individuals, which will add to the strength of Berkshire Life and its new parent company.
