VIU by HUB EVP and head Bryan Davis said: “Too often we hear about homeowners who only look at their insurance policies when purchasing a new home.

“That’s a miss as constantly changing dynamics in the housing market may impact the kind of coverage you need.

“By merging technology and human expertise, VIU helps homeowners manage their insurance policies easily so they can be more aware of their needs and confident the right coverage is always in place.”

In a separate development, Hub International announced that it had concluded a $6.9bn debt raise to refinance its $6.4bn term loan debt that was due in 2025, thereby increasing the maturity period of the new debt to 2030.
