United Health and Anthem plans did not spend the required minimum on medical claims.

This is the insurance and wealth management firm’s third acquisition deal this month.

The insurance tech provider is on acquisition hot streak, having secured its fourth purchase in six months.

The insurance tech provider has started 2021, strong with three M&A deals so far.

The fortune of Slack’s billionaire co-founder and chief executive officer increased about $400 million from reports this week that Salesforce is considering taking over the workplace chat tool.

The global insurance brokerage has closed 42 acquisition deals in 2020.

A string of recent acquisitions are meant to help the insurance broker boost and strengthen its employee benefit, wealth management and retirement services.

The insurance technology provider sees the deal as a way to grow organically while also continuing its rapid pace of acquisitions going forward.
