Skyward Specialty Insurance Group, a specialty property and casualty insurer, has announced a strategic partnership with Sixfold to accelerate its transition towards fully AI-powered underwriting across its domestic P&C lines.
The launch of the partnership is driven by Skyward Specialty’s ambition to further strengthen underwriting performance through data-driven decision-making, operational efficiency and improved service delivery.
Through the partnership, Sixfold’s platform is being deployed across Skyward Specialty’s underwriting operations to enhance speed, consistency and analytical depth. Underwriters remain in full control of final decisions, using the AI-generated insights to support judgement and improve responsiveness to broker partners.
The platform is already live across six Skyward Specialty business units and more than 10 product lines. Deployment timelines have averaged between eight and ten weeks.
Skyward Specialty operates across a broad range of specialty P&C segments, offering tailored insurance solutions for businesses that require technical expertise and disciplined risk selection.
Sixfold is an AI underwriting company focused on transforming insurance workflows. Its platform pre-processes submissions and produces data-driven recommendations for underwriters, including submission prioritisation, appetite alignment and structured risk summaries.
Andrew Robinson, Chairman and CEO of Skyward Specialty said, “We are several years into our AI-powered underwriting journey. Our focus is about elevating our people – giving underwriters stronger insights, faster access to information and liberating their time to focus on making exceptional underwriting decisions and delivering top-notch service to our broker partners.
“Our partnership with Sixfold is another major step in this journey. The platform enhances underwriting insight, consistency, speed of analysis and response, and creates a virtuous learning loop that drives the best results while keeping human expertise at the center of underwriting decisions.
“This is disciplined innovation that continues to position us for outperformance, and it forms a critical part of our learning curve and early mover advantage in the AI underwriting arms race. We are determined to maintain a leadership position in our use of advanced technology to serve the specialty insurance market, and our partnership with the team at Sixfold is a critical part of that ambition.”
