The U.S. business group of Sun Life Financial has expanded the availability of its private exchange offerings to Gallagher Marketplace, including a comprehensive suite of employee benefits. Customers of this private exchange can select Sun Life products, including voluntary short-term disability, long-term disability, life and accidental death & dismemberment, accident, critical illness and cancer insurance. Now, Sun Life’s employee benefits are available through five private exchange partners.

The Employee Benefits Consulting and Brokerage operations of Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. (Gallagher) launched Gallagher Marketplace to help employers set predictable budgets for their employee benefits programs and to provide employees with a consolidated online benefits store that can offer health, dental, vision, life and disability coverage, among other selected benefits.

“Expanding our offerings to private exchanges is an important part of our effort to meet the diverse needs of employers and their employees,” said Karen White, Assistant Vice President, Product Initiatives, for Sun Life. “Adding Sun Life employee benefits to the Gallagher Marketplace exchange, powered by Liazon’s technology platform, was a natural step for us, as Gallagher has been a strategic broker partner of ours since 2007.”

“We are excited to strengthen our partnership with Sun Life and to provide Gallagher Marketplace customers with greater choice through Sun Life’s benefit offerings,” said Rick Strater, Vice President, Private Exchanges, for Gallagher. “The breadth of Sun Life’s offerings should be welcome to both employers and their employees. Indeed, choice is the crux of Gallagher Marketplace, and Sun Life more than met that challenge.”
