KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Lloyd’s
Lloyd’s of London is a well-known insurance market made up of individual and corporate underwriters who come together to insure risks. It was formally established by statute in the 19th century but originated much earlier as a meeting place for merchants and insurers.
Unlike traditional insurance companies, Lloyd’s operates through syndicates, where members (known as “names”) agree to insure portions of risk. These syndicates are managed by professional underwriters who assess and accept insurance proposals.
Over time, Lloyd’s has expanded beyond marine insurance into a wide range of sectors. Its unique structure allows for flexibility and specialization, making it a major player in global insurance markets
