Overview
One of the oldest financial markets in the developed world, the Lloyd’s of London insurance market is one of the least understood by the wider investor public. Providing the capital to support the business of underwriting insurance risks can, with appropriate guidance and control, add significantly to returns over the medium term. The market has been extensively modernised and recently has enjoyed a strong track record of performance.
WealthBriefing is joining forces with the Association of Lloyd’s Members, an organisation representing private investors in the market, to outline the opportunities and challenges of Lloyd’s, and to explain the relevance of the sector to wealth managers.
Topics to be discussed include:
- An outline of how the market works and an explanation of the role of private investors, known as “Names”. Who are these people?
- Breaking down some of the jargon by explaining terms.
- The state of the Lloyd’s market and the investment returns. How does Lloyd’s compare against private equity or listed securities, for example?
- Is this more than just a niche market and what sort of private investors should consider Lloyd’s? What part should the market play in a person’s portfolio?
- What sort of diversification and correlation benefits can Lloyd’s investments offer?
- Why should a high net worth individual consider becoming a Name?
- Where in the world are the most significant investments coming from?
- What sort of investment time horizons apply to being a Lloyd’s name?
- Tax advantages go with being a Lloyd’s Name – what are they?
- What sort of minimum investment thresholds apply to the market?
