THE LLOYD S MARKET* Lloyd s is the world s specialist insurance market. It was first mentioned in 1688 operating in Edward Lloyd s Coffee House in London and is now housed in the Lloyd s building on Lime Street. Lloyd s is licensed to do business in over 200 countries with a global network of brokers and coverholders, making it easy for anyone to access its unrivalled expertise. Lloyd s is a marketplace, a society of members, rather than an insurance company. Members were originally private individuals but are now mostly corporations and limited liability partnerships, who in turn provide the capital to support underwriting through managing agents, who employ and manage a syndicate s team of underwriters. Members Providing the capital Syndicates Writing the insurance Managing Agents Managing the syndicates Coverholders and Brokers Local access to Lloyd s The Corporation of Lloyd s (the Corporation) oversees and supports the market. The Corporation reviews and approves business plans, monitors compliance against Lloyd s minimum standards and evaluates the syndicates performance against their plans. Syndicates can only underwrite in accordance with their agreed business plans. The Corporation also manages the Central Fund and Lloyd s network of international licences. *Source: Lloyd s

THE LLOYD S CHAIN OF SECURITY Lloyd s has a structure in place to ensure it is able to pay all valid claims. This structure has developed over many years to ensure that a policy holder is never failed in their hour of need. There are three links to the chain of security*: Several Assets First Link Syndicate Level Assets 41,990m Second Link Members Funds at Lloyd s 15,088m Mutual Assets Third Link Central Fund 1,513m Corporation 150m Callable Layer 788m Subordinated Debt/ Securities 721m *Source: Lloyd s Syndicate Level Assets These are the premium funds of each syndicate from which it pays claims. These are held in trust separate from balance sheets. Members Fund at Lloyd s This is members capital that must be held in trust by Lloyd s, in proportion to Syndicate capacity, before underwriting can begin. Investment of this capital, however, is at the discretion of the member. Central Assets These are held by the Corporation of Lloyd s as a fund of last resort. The Central Fund is funded by members annual contributions and subordinated debt issued by Lloyd s, and can be supplemented by the members through a further callable layer.
