Beam Benefits is officially part of Principal Financial Group. They are excited about what bringing Beam and Principal together will mean over time for brokers, employers, and members.

Their priority for the remainder of 2026 is to provide continuity for you and your customers through the busy season.  Your day-to-day Beam experience will remain business as usual, and you should continue working with the same Beam contacts and teams for quoting, servicing, and day-to-day support.

What you can expect now

With the acquisition now closed, we are able to share more about what this means for you and your customers today.  The updated FAQ includes the latest guidance and where to go as additional questions come up. 

What's next in 2027

Throughout 2027, brokers and customers will see the complementary strengths of Beam and Principal increasingly come together through a stronger end-to-end experience from quote through renewal, greater breadth and flexibility in benefits solutions, and a deeper expertise and partnership.

We will keep you informed every step of the way. Any future changes related to product, processes, or servicing will be communicated well in advance, with transparency and support throughout.
