Where SKWD is headed
Skyward isn't a generalist P&C carrier trying to dress up as a specialty insurer. It's the opposite story. Andrew Robinson took a sleepy Houston-based outfit called HIIG, rebuilt the underwriting bench from Endurance, AIG, and Aspen alumni, and pointed the business at eight specialty niches where pricing is set by expertise, not market cycles. Captives, surety, transactional liability, agriculture, A&H, professional lines, programs, and global property. The combined ratio is running in the high 80s while the broader commercial P&C market drifts into a softening cycle. That gap is the entire investment case.
