Arrowhead Intermediaries is an insurance distribution company operating across multiple markets through three divisions: wholesale, program administration, and specialty. The platform brings together several of Brown & Brown’s existing operations — including Bridge Specialty Group, Arrowhead Programs, and One80 Intermediaries — under a single brand identity.[1] The company provides services to insurance carriers, brokers, and other participants in the insurance industry.[2]
History
Pre-2025 legacy
Prior to the formation of Arrowhead Intermediaries, Brown & Brown operated several specialty insurance entities, mainly including Bridge Specialty Group, Arrowhead Programs, and One80 Intermediaries. Each division specialized in different areas of insurance distribution:
- Bridge Specialty Group – Focused on wholesale brokerage, providing market access and placement services for retail agents and brokers seeking coverage for complex or specialty risks.[3]
- Arrowhead Programs – Operated as a program administrator through a network of managing general agents (MGAs) and managing general underwriters (MGUs), delivering niche and specialty insurance programs across multiple industries.[4]
- One80 Intermediaries – Specialized in specialty risk solutions and managing general agency services, offering binding authority and program management for property and casualty, accident and health, affinity, administrative services, and warranty markets.[5]
In June 2025, Brown & Brown announced the acquisition of RSC Topco Inc., the parent company of Accession Risk Management Group and One80 Intermediaries, for approximately US $9.8 billion.[6] Following the acquisition, the three subsidiaries—Bridge Specialty Group, Arrowhead Programs, and One80 Intermediaries—were consolidated to form a single integrated platform under the Arrowhead Intermediaries name. This unification brought together Brown & Brown’s wholesale, program administration, and specialty operations under a shared structure and brand.[2]
Formation and integration
The Arrowhead Intermediaries brand was launched in August 2025 to unify Brown & Brown’s wholesale, program, and specialty operations.[7] The integration combined Arrowhead Programs, Bridge Specialty Group, and One80 Intermediaries into one platform.
At the time of the launch, Insurance Business America reported that the new platform included approximately 7,000 professionals and placed about US $18 billion in premiums during 2024.[2]
In September 2025, Arrowhead Intermediaries announced an expanded leadership team and a shared data and analytics division to support integration across its businesses.[8]
Business structure and divisions
Arrowhead Intermediaries operates through three primary divisions:[9]
- Arrowhead Programs – Focused on insurance programs managed by MGAs and MGUs, offering niche solutions in property, casualty, and specialty lines.
- Bridge Specialty Group – A wholesale intermediary providing placement services for complex and emerging risks across admitted and non-admitted markets.
- Arrowhead Specialty – Built from the legacy One80 business lines, offering affinity and administrative services, captives, reinsurance, travel and accident, warranty, employee benefits, and life & health products.
The company describes its operating model as combining “specialization with scale” to serve multiple segments of the insurance market.[9]
