Risk Strategies acquires National Insurance Consulting Group

US insurance brokerage and risk management firm Risk Strategies has expanded its presence in the Southeast US with the acquisition of National Insurance Consulting Group (NICG).

NICG offers benefits consulting, outsourced benefits administration, human capital management software delivery, and outsourced HR.

“The uncertainty in today’s benefits environment requires specialists who can expertly combine innovative funding approaches with technology to deliver great programs that control costs,” said John Greenbaum, Risk Strategies’ national employee benefits practice leader. “NICG has proven abilities in both areas and will be a great fit in our practice.”

Zain Hasan, NICG’s founder and CEO, said: “NICG’s proven approach turns health plans into a competitive advantage with better benefits and quality of care. As part of Risk Strategies, our clients will have access to similarly effective risk and liability management capabilities for virtually any aspect of their operations.”
