Arrowhead Intermediaries functions as an insurance distribution firm active in wholesale, program administration, and specialty market sectors. It brings together several of Brown & Brown’s operations—including Bridge Specialty Group, Arrowhead Programs, and One80 Intermediaries—under a unified brand. The organization caters to insurance carriers, brokers, and various industry stakeholders.
Legacy prior to 2025
Before the establishment of Arrowhead Intermediaries, Brown & Brown oversaw multiple specialty insurance entities:
- Bridge Specialty Group – A wholesale brokerage offering access to markets and placement solutions for complex or specialized risks.
- Arrowhead Programs – A program administrator utilizing managing general agents (MGAs) and managing general underwriters (MGUs), providing niche insurance programs across different sectors.
- One80 Intermediaries – Focused on specialty risk solutions and managing general agency services, including binding authority and program management for property and casualty, accident and health, affinity, administrative services, and warranty markets.
In June 2025, Brown & Brown acquired RSC Topco Inc., the parent company of Accession Risk Management Group and One80 Intermediaries, in a transaction valued at approximately US $9.8 billion. Following this acquisition, Bridge Specialty Group, Arrowhead Programs, and One80 Intermediaries were consolidated into the Arrowhead Intermediaries platform, merging Brown & Brown’s wholesale, program administration, and specialty operations under one brand identity.
Establishment and consolidation
The Arrowhead Intermediaries brand was introduced in August 2025 to integrate Brown & Brown’s wholesale, program, and specialty divisions. This consolidation brought together Arrowhead Programs, Bridge Specialty Group, and One80 Intermediaries into a single operational platform.
At its inception, Insurance Business America noted that the platform comprised roughly 7,000 professionals and managed about US $18 billion in premiums during 2024.
In September 2025, Arrowhead Intermediaries strengthened its leadership team and created a centralized data and analytics unit to improve operational integration across its various businesses.
Organizational structure and segments
Arrowhead Intermediaries functions through three core divisions:
- Arrowhead Programs – Insurance programs administered by MGAs and MGUs with expertise in property, casualty, and specialty lines.
- Bridge Specialty Group – A wholesale intermediary delivering placement services for complex and emerging risks within both admitted and non-admitted markets.
- Arrowhead Specialty – Originating from the One80 heritage, this division provides affinity and administrative services along with captives, reinsurance solutions, travel and accident coverage, warranty products, employee benefits, plus life & health insurance offerings.
The company highlights its approach of combining “specialization with scale” to address the needs of diverse insurance market segments.
