Business

Bowhead Specialty Holdings Inc. is a commercial specialty property and casualty insurer offering underwriting solutions for casualty, professional liability, healthcare liability, and small-business risks. Products are delivered through a 'craft' model for complex, large risks and a 'digital' model for smaller, scalable business, primarily on a non-admitted, excess and surplus lines basis. The company operates four underwriting divisions—Casualty, Professional Liability, Healthcare Liability, and Baleen Specialty—distributed through wholesale and retail channels nationwide. Bowhead issues policies on American Family Mutual Insurance Company paper through a managing general agency subsidiary and cedes all underwritten business to its wholly-owned insurance company subsidiary.
