AM Best will participate in the 2019 Bermuda Captive Conference as a silver level sponsor and will also join a panel discussion on credit ratings at the event, which takes place June 10-12, 2019, at the Fairmount Southampton in Bermuda.
Susan Molineux, AM Best director, will take part in a panel session, titled, “Lifting Your Captive to New Levels, Can a Rating Help?” The panel will explore whether a rating can elevate a captive to new levels and provide additional efficiencies to its operating model.
