A new data intelligence platform originally built for the insurance industry is gaining traction among wealth advisors, RIAs, and financial planners—particularly those serving high-net-worth individuals, business owners, or corporate clients.
IB+ Data Hub, developed by Insurance Business, provides access to premium carrier data, litigation trends, commission benchmarks, and regulatory insights, making it a valuable resource for financial professionals looking to strengthen their advice around risk management and insurance selection.
While the platform’s roots are in insurance, it’s now being adopted by forward-thinking advisors who see insurance as a core pillar of financial strategy.
