Placing risk

The diversity of our market sets Lloyd’s apart.

|

Customers have access to the combined scale, expertise and capacity of the entire market, not just a single reinsurance company.

Brokers identify the underwriters best placed to insure your risk. They have exclusive access to the most up-to-date information, informed insight and specialised tools that help them create specialised, well-priced solutions in response.

Because Lloyd’s is uniquely well-placed to consider even the most complex, high-risk exposures, the market has covered Arctic explorers, international aid organisations, satellite launches and taken on major global risks including cyber, terrorism and the consequences of climate change.

Of course, insurance cannot eliminate risk. But as our world is reshaped by economic, environmental, geopolitical, societal and technological shifts, the breadth, depth and responsiveness of the Lloyd’s market gives you the confidence to move forward in the face of uncertainty.
