Ryan Specialty Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: RYAN) has created a new Canadian holding company, Ryan Specialty Canada Limited, and appointed Stephen Stewart—President and CEO of Stewart Specialty Risk Underwriting—as its chief executive officer. The Toronto‑based entity will bring together the company’s seven Canadian managing general underwriters under a single umbrella, streamlining operations and expanding market reach across Canada.
The seven MGUs that will now operate under Ryan Specialty Canada Limited are Alive Risk, Global Special Risks, PERse (Power. Energy. Risk.), Ryan Transactional Risk, Stewart Specialty Risk Underwriting, Technical Risk Underwriters, and Trident Marine Managers. The consolidation follows Ryan Specialty’s December 2025 acquisition of Stewart Specialty Risk Underwriting and is designed to unify the company’s Canadian underwriting footprint.
The strategic rationale for the move is to consolidate resources, reduce duplication, and leverage the specialized underwriting expertise that has driven Ryan Specialty’s delegated‑authority model. By centralizing the Canadian operations, the company can offer brokers and trading partners a more seamless platform, improve pricing and risk‑selection capabilities, and position itself for accelerated growth in a market that is experiencing rising demand for tailored risk solutions in energy, construction, and industrial sectors.
Miles Wuller, CEO of Ryan Specialty Underwriting Managers, said the consolidation “provides a single, focused view of the wider Canadian market and enables each of our MGUs to more seamlessly tap into the broader RSUM platform to better serve our Canadian clients and trading partners.” Stephen Stewart added that the new structure “formalizes the structure needed to support long‑term growth in Canada and positions our teams to better serve brokers and trading partners nationwide.”
The creation of Ryan Specialty Canada Limited is expected to deliver operational efficiencies, cost savings, and enhanced broker support. The unified platform will allow the company to scale its underwriting capabilities, share best practices across MGUs, and pursue new growth opportunities in the Canadian specialty insurance market. While no financial performance data for the Canadian entity is available at this time, the consolidation signals a strategic investment in the country’s high‑growth segments.
