Pursuant to Rule 461 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), Kinsale Capital Group, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby requests that the effective date of the above-referenced Registration Statement be accelerated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) so that the Registration Statement, as then amended, will become effective under the Securities Act at 4:00 p.m. ET on July 27, 2016 or as soon thereafter as practicable.
The Company hereby acknowledges that:
| · | the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosures in the filing; |

We request that we be notified of such effectiveness by a telephone call to Dwight S. Yoo at (212) 735-2573 and that such effectiveness also be confirmed in writing.
