Direct peers

• Kinsale Capital Group: Pure-play excess and surplus lines underwriter that competes head-on in small-to-middle-market E&S with an analytically driven, broker-distributed model. Closest direct competitor in product mix and go-to-market.

• Accelerant (Niche/Specialty MGA platform): Data-driven specialty insurance platform with an E&S appetite that competes with Westchester's Fast Track and Middle Market on speed of quote and bind for small-commercial risks.

Broad incumbents
