Insurance - Lloyd's of London
Lloyd's, also known as Lloyd's of London, is a British insurance market. It serves as a meeting place where multiple financial backers, underwriters, or “members”, whether individuals (traditionally known as “Names”) or corporations, come together to pool and spread risk. Unlike most of its competitors in the reinsurance market, it is not a company. The Society of Lloyd's was incorporated by Lloyd's Act 1871.The market began in Edward Lloyd's coffeehouse around 1688 in Tower Street, London. His establishment was a popular place for sailors, merchants, and shipowners and Lloyd catered to them with reliable shipping news. The shipping industry community frequented the place to discuss insurance deals among themselves.
