Income Lab launches ‘Life Hub’
Income Laboratory, Inc., a retirement income planning software provider, has introduced Life Hub, an interactive tool for that allows clients of financial advisers to “visualize their financial lives on one page, at any level of detail, and at any point in time.”
Life Hub is the only tool that seamlessly integrates dynamic retirement income plans and tax-smart distribution strategies. More than 200 advisors have been beta testing Life Hub for the past six months and the tool has just gone live, an Income Lab release said.
Financial advisors use Income Lab’s advanced technology to build and monitor dynamic retirement income plans that help retirees adjust for evolving economic and market conditions and make tax-smart distribution decisions. Income Lab’s software monitors retirement plans monthly to see whether circumstances have changed sufficiently to warrant modifications and then notifies advisors, who can discuss any adjustments with clients.
Life Hub is currently included as part of the Income Lab retirement planning software available to advisors at rates ranging from $159 per month for a single advisor to $139 per month for large teams of advisors.

Ubiquity also plans to rollout a suite of IRA solutions this year to meet the needs of companies where a 401(k) may offer more savings than is needed, and to satisfy state retirement plan mandates. Additionally, a Pooled Employer Plan (PEP) solution will be available.
