AM Best, a prominent global credit rating agency, is set to participate in the upcoming European Captive Forum, scheduled for November 5-6, 2025, in Luxembourg. This event, recognized as the largest gathering focused on captive insurance in Europe, will provide an excellent platform for industry professionals to engage in discussions about the latest trends and challenges facing the insurance sector.
Mathilde Jakobsen, a senior director of analytics at AM Best, will contribute her expertise during a panel discussion titled “Cash Pooling—Pros and Cons: Intra-Group Lending Across Borders” on the first day of the forum. Having joined AM Best in 2008, Jakobsen leads a team of financial analysts who are responsible for evaluating insurers and reinsurers across Europe from the agency’s Amsterdam office. Her insights are expected to shed light on the complexities of cross-border lending within corporate groups, an increasingly relevant topic in today’s interconnected financial landscape.
In addition to Jakobsen, two other key AM Best representatives will be present at the forum. Riccardo Ciccozzi, the director of market development for Europe, along with Roisin Gallagher, an associate director in the same department, will be available for one-on-one meetings. Attendees interested in understanding AM Best’s Credit Ratings and the rating process, as well as accessing various resources related to captive insurance, are encouraged to connect with them during the event. AM Best will be exhibiting at booth No. 604, offering additional opportunities for attendees to engage with their team.
