Summary

  • Mariner said its new Cariloop partnership will give clients and employees support with healthcare, long-term care and complex caregiving decisions, extending the firm's services beyond investing and estate planning.
  • Cariloop provides professional coaching, caregiving tools and a vetted provider network, including help finding insurance-accepting companies, locating caregivers, contacting Medicare or long-term-care insurers, and navigating special-education plans.

  • Mariner says uptake has already exceeded expectations, underscoring how wealth advisers are shifting from transactional investment roles toward broader, holistic support during clients' major life changes.
