AM Best Opens Office in Amsterdam as Part of Brexit Planning

Credit rating agency AM Best will this week formally open its second European office, located in the city of Amsterdam.

AM Best, which rates more than 3,500 companies in over 90 countries, currently has regional offices in London, Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai and Mexico City, with its world headquarters in the United States. The company will hold a networking event on March 7 to mark the occasion.

“We are excited to be in Amsterdam. This new office in the Netherlands supports our growth strategy to provide rating services for the re/insurance industry in Continental Europe,” said Nick Charteris-Black, managing director, market development for Europe, Middle East and Africa at AM Best.

“AM Best was drawn to Amsterdam for a variety of reasons, including its well-established financial center, strong pool of talent and good transport links to the key European locations where our clients are based,” he added. “This also brings a successful conclusion to our planning for Brexit to provide ongoing services to our EU 27 clients.”
