Skyward Specialty Insurance Group, Inc. is a U.S.-based commercial property and casualty insurance company that underwrites business in niche markets where it has deep expertise. The company delivers solutions on both a non-admitted (E&S) and admitted basis, focusing on areas that larger, more generalized carriers often avoid. Formerly known as Houston International Insurance Group (HIIG), the company rebranded to Skyward Specialty in 2020 to better reflect its mission of providing smart, forward-thinking solutions and underwriting excellence in the specialty insurance sector. It became a publicly-traded company on the NASDAQ in January 2023 under the ticker "SKWD".
