//BestWire// - AM Best will exhibit at the Managing General Agents’ Association’s (MGAA) annual conference, which will take place 7 July 2026 at the Business Design Centre in London.

During the full-day event, AM Best representatives will be available at exhibit booth 4 to discuss its rating and assessment services, including its Performance Assessments for Delegated Underwriting Authority Enterprises (DUAE). This industry-first tool provides a framework for differentiating among DUAEs, which is a blanket term to capture managing general agents (MGA), coverholders and other similar entities. A Performance Assessment helps insurers make more-informed decisions when choosing underwriting partners.

Nick Charteris-Black, managing director, market development, EMEA; William Mills, senior director, market development, EMEA; Roisin Gallagher, associate director, market development; and Naz Botea, financial analyst, EMEA all of AM Best, will attend the event.
