Lloyd's Valuation of Liabilities Rules

Lloyd's syndicates are required to annually obtain a Statement of Actuarial Opinion (SAO). The SAO confirms that, for each syndicate open year of account, the technical provisions held for solvency are at least as large as the signing actuary’s best estimate. Lloyd's Valuation of Liabilities Rules provide guidance and clarification for actuaries preparing SAOs.

The SAO process is co-ordinated by Market Reserving & Capital under the supervision of the Lloyd’s Actuary.
