Honor reinforces decades-long commitment to expanding access to long-term care planning solutions

RADNOR, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 24, 2026-- Lincoln Financial (NYSE: LNC) has been recognized by industry peers at the 2026 Intercompany Long-Term Care Insurance Conference (ILTCI) for its longstanding leadership and innovation in the hybrid life/long-term care insurance market. The recognition highlights Lincoln’s decades-long commitment to expanding access to long-term care planning solutions and advancing product innovation that reflects the evolving needs of consumers and financial professionals.

For more than 35 years, Lincoln has played a formative role in shaping the hybrid life/long-term care category, consistently investing in product design, flexibility and consumer choice. Today, Lincoln’s hybrid life/long-term care solutions (universal and variable universal life insurance policies with long-term care riders) continue to reflect that legacy—supporting families as they plan for future care needs while balancing protection, legacy and financial confidence.

“Being recognized at ILTCI is a meaningful honor and a reflection of the deep responsibility we feel to the families who rely on long-term care planning solutions,” said Michael Hamilton, vice president, MoneyGuard® Business Management at Lincoln Financial, who accepted the award on behalf of the company. “Long-term care planning is about preserving choice and dignity, and we remain committed to offering products that help make that possible for more Americans.”

In parallel with product innovation, Lincoln pioneered the distribution model that helped bring hybrid long-term care solutions to market at scale. Through Lincoln Financial Distribution (LFD)—now celebrating its 25th anniversary—Lincoln invested early in financial professional education, tools, and support to help financial professionals confidently engage in long-term care planning and expand access to these solutions across the industry.

Lincoln’s recognition at ILTCI reinforces the company’s role as a trusted industry leader and its continued focus on innovation, education and long-term care planning excellence.
