About Kestrel Group

From its filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission

SEC filings

Kestrel Group is based in Pembroke and is incorporated in Bermuda. Its shares trade on Nasdaq under the ticker KG. The SEC classifies its business as fire, marine & casualty insurance. In the fiscal year to 31 December 2025, it reported revenue of $34.0m and net income of $46.7m. At that date it held total assets of $1.01bn and shareholders' equity of $128.3m.

In its own words

On May 27, 2025, Kestrel Group LLC (“Kestrel LLC”) and Maiden Holdings, Ltd. (“Maiden”) completed their previously announced combination ("Combination"), forming a new, publicly listed specialty program group operating under the name Kestrel Group Ltd (“Kestrel Group” or "Parent Company"). The Combination was previously announced on December 30, 2024. Maiden shares ceased trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market ("Nasdaq") at close of market on May 27, 2025. Kestrel shares began trading on the Nasdaq at open of market on May 28, 2025 under the ticker symbol “KG”. Upon the closing of the Transactions (the “Closing”), Maiden and Kestrel LLC are now wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, which was rebranded as Kestrel Group and renamed “Kestrel Group Ltd” ("Kestrel").

The Combination creates a capital light, fee-based insurance platform with the ability to selectively deploy underwriting capacity to optimize shareholder returns, with a commitment to innovation, client service and long-term relationships.

Our strategic focus centers on growing the fee income component of our Program Services business, which will increase our pre-tax income while effectively managing the continuing run-off of the legacy Maiden alternative asset and reinsurance portfolios.
