Maintain the strong position of the Lloyd’s brand, protecting against any risks arising from negative perceptions of the wider financial services industry or the actions of managing agents as they grow and develop their own brands

Lloyd’s strengths (cont.)
Capital Efficiency and the Chain of Security
Lloyd’s capital structure provides financial security to policyholders and capital efficiency to members
Mutuality and market cohesion
The layer of mutuality represented by the central fund underpins Lloyd’s capital strength, licences, ratings and the market’s reputation for claims payment. It also provides market participants with a common interest, helping to make the market more influential than the sum of its parts
Subscription market
The subscription market remains a key characteristic of the Lloyd’s market and operates to the benefit of market participants
Solvency II remains a major priority over the plan period and underpins many of Lloyd’s strengths

Lloyd’s strengths (cont.)
Diversity in market composition
Diversity is an important characteristic across all aspects of the market and is desirable from a risk management perspective and in Lloyd’s offer to its clients and stakeholders
Underwriting expertise and innovation
Lloyd’s has a reputation for underwriting expertise and product innovation
Ratings
Lloyd’s ratings – independent opinions of Lloyd’s financial strength and ability to meet ongoing insurance policy and contract obligations – remain at the market’s target level

Areas of focus: Market Portfolio DiversificationThe Lloyd’s market portfolio has some notable areas of concentration
Product – a gradual shift towards catastrophe business over the past decade
Geography – heavily focused on North America and the UK
Response
The response to these trends is unchanged. It is for managing agents to decide on their business mix
The Corporation will support that activity through its market development activity;
o Promoting Lloyd’s in established and emerging markets
o Pursuing distribution initiatives
o Securing regulatory access to new markets in response to market demand

Areas of focus: Distribution Model
Lloyd’s is a broker market
This model continues to serve the market well
The consolidation of brokers continues, both in Lloyd’s and the wider industry. This concentrates much of the flow of business to Lloyd’s with a small number of brokers
Response
Broker relationships – the importance of brokers and the need for mutually beneficial relationships between brokers, managing agents and the Corporation is unchanged
Coverholders – delegated authority arrangements continue to be an important part of Lloyd’s distribution model, subject to appropriate controls
Routes to Market – the development of deeper relationships with local producing brokers and continue efforts to improve processing and operational efficiency remain important

Areas of focus: Market modernisation
Market modernisation is about changing the way business is processed. The guiding principles are:
To improve market efficiency and give more choice around how to operate
To reduce cost and risk
Response
A number initiatives will deliver key aspects of Lloyd’s future operating environment:
Enabling Initiatives Lloyd’s Information and Reporting Project Information Use and Management The Exchange
Future Processing Model (including Claims Business Systems Options)

Continue to work with the Lloyd’s market bodies and other industry groups to promote the industry, and specifically Lloyd’s, to potential employees
Where appropriate, to lead initiatives to attract and develop talent for the benefit of the market as a whole
To attract and develop the appropriate skills and expertise to allow the Corporation to deliver its role efficiently
