BOSTON, November 04, 2021 -- Risk Strategies, a leading national specialty insurance brokerage and risk management and consulting firm, today announced it has acquired benefits general agent and retail property & casualty agency Hibbits Insurance, Inc. Terms of the deal were not announced.

Founded in Orangeburg and headquartered in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, Hibbits is a full-service insurance brokerage specializing in group and individual health, life, and disability insurance.
