On 10 February 2020, the Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) decided to end the authorised representative oversight of Pohjantähti Mutual Insurance Company. The oversight was based on a decision appointment of an authorised representative made by the FIN-FSA on 14 May 2018, which appointed Pekka Jaatinen, Attorney, to oversee the activities of Pohjantähti Mutual Insurance Company until further notice.

The FIN-FSA considers that the management of the company’s affairs has evolved so that there are no longer grounds for continuing the decision to appoint an authorised representative. The decision entered into effect on 10 February 2020.
