Guardian Financial Services, established in 1821, is the collective trading name for Guardian Assurance plc, Guardian Linked Life Assurance Ltd and Guardian Pensions Management Ltd. Based in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire, Guardian has over 300,000 policies, approximately 170 employees and has been processing mainly runoff business for the past decade. The Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of AEGON, and was acquired by Cinven in August 2011.

Through Guardian Financial Services, Cinven is equipped with an attractive entry point into the UK closed life market and a strong platform from which to execute a consolidation strategy for the sector. The fragmented nature of the life insurance market coupled with the ongoing pressure that the industry is facing is set to drive continued consolidation in the market.

Mr. Roni Al-Dor, President and CEO of Sapiens, commented "Our commitment to the financial services and insurance market is undisputed, as we help our customers manage their core business with our solutions. We are proud to continue and service Guardian Financial Services as our customer and help them achieve their business goals."
