Bowhead Specialty Holdings Inc.

Bowhead Specialty Holdings Inc. underwrites commercial specialty property and casualty insurance across multiple sectors in the United States. The company focuses on casualty insurance for construction, distribution, heavy manufacturing, real estate, and hospitality risks. It also provides professional liability coverage including directors and officers liability, errors and omissions liability, employment practices liability, and fiduciary liability, alongside crime and cyber insurance products tailored for financial institutions. Additionally, the company offers healthcare-focused management liability and specialized coverage for hospitals, senior care providers, managed care organizations, and other medical facilities.

The company operates through both traditional distribution channels and a technology-enabled underwriting platform. Its Baleen Specialty operation targets small to mid-sized risks that fall outside the admitted insurance market, leveraging digital capabilities to streamline underwriting processes. The company distributes its products through wholesale and retail distribution partners rather than direct channels.

Based in New York with approximately 296 full-time employees, Bowhead Specialty operates as a mid-sized specialty insurer. The company was established in 2020 and rebranded from Bowhead Holdings Inc. to its current name in March 2024, reflecting its focus on specialty insurance products. It is incorporated in Delaware and publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
