About Bowhead Specialty Holdings

From its filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission

SEC filings

Bowhead Specialty Holdings is based in New York, New York and is incorporated in Delaware. Its shares trade on NYSE under the ticker BOW. The SEC classifies its business as fire, marine & casualty insurance. In the fiscal year to 31 December 2025, it reported revenue of $551.6m and net income of $53.8m. At that date it held total assets of $2.37bn and shareholders' equity of $448.3m.

In its own words

We were founded in September 2020, backed by capital provided by GPC Partners Investments (SPV III) LP (“GPC Fund”), a private equity fund managed by Gallatin Point Capital LLC (“Gallatin Point”), and our strategic partner, AmFam, to take advantage of favorable pricing environments, and to address a growing and unmet demand from brokers and policyholders for specialized insurance solutions and quality service in complex lines of business. Our principal objective is to create and sustain superior returns for our stockholders by generating consistent, underwriting profits across our product offerings and through all market cycles, while prudently managing capital.

We offer commercial specialty property and casualty (“P&C”) insurance products to policyholders that vary in size, industry and complexity, focusing on casualty, professional liability, and healthcare liability risks. Our products are delivered through two complementary underwriting models designed to support sustainable and profitable growth across market cycles: a “craft” model for large, complex, higher-severity risks, and a “digital” model for smaller, simpler, and scalable business.
