3 HOW LLOYD S WORKS 2 How Lloyd s works Our unique structure creates a market based on trusted relationships and expertise. Lloyd s is a broker market, with brokers involved in all aspects of our distribution channels. The majority of business written at Lloyd s is placed through brokers, who facilitate the risk transfer process between policyholders and underwriters. A Lloyd s syndicate is formed by one or more members joining together to accept risk. Many syndicates write a range of classes of business and others specialize in one or two. The capital which supports syndicates underwriting is provided by members of Lloyd s, among them individuals, limited partnerships and global insurance groups. A managing agent is a company set up to manage one or more syndicates on behalf of the members providing capital. A coverholder is a business authorized by a managing agent to accept insurance risks on behalf of a syndicate. The scope of the coverholder s remit is set out in a Binding Authority Agreement between the managing agent and the coverholder. A service company operates like a coverholder but is a wholly owned subsidiary of a managing agent or its group. Unlike a coverholder, a service company is able to sub-delegate underwriting authority to other coverholders. The Corporation of Lloyd s oversees overall risk and performance management of the market, provides processing services, manages the global network of licenses and promotes the Lloyd s brand.
