Fresh from delivering a stellar 2024 performance, regional insurance giant Guardian Holdings Limited (GHL) is shifting from a bi-annual to quarterly dividend payments.

In an advisory to its Jamaican and other regional shareholders, the Trinidad and Tobago-based GHL, which is cross-listed on the Jamaican and Trinidad and Tobago stock exchanges, announces that dividend payments will be made at the end of each quarter on such dates as determined by the board of directors. 

This new dividend payment schedule will commence from the first quarter of the 2025 financial year.

Shareholders’ profit for the year ended December 31, 2024 climbed to TT$850 million, exceeding the prior year’s restated results of $645 million by $205 million or 32%. In terms of normalised core business growth, GHL achieved a year-over-year growth in profit before taxation of TT$415 million or 61% after excluding the prior year’s non-recurring net fair value gain of TT$174 million. 

GHL’s balance sheet metrics remain strong with the group continuing to create value for shareholders in the current operating environment. In addition the company remains sufficiently capitalised and compliant with regulatory ratios.
