Who are they? • Coverholders are insurance intermediaries appointed by a managing agent to bind risks

on their behalf. Outside the Lloyd’s market they may be referred to as MGAs/MGUs.• Service companies are in-house coverholders that are owned by a managing agent • Coverholders can vary considerably in terms of size, product and complexity• Many brokers are also approved coverholders

What do they do? • Coverholders’ authority to underwrite (bind) policies or pay claims is set out in an

outsourcing agreement called a Binding Authority (i.e. ‘binder’)• Coverholders and Service Companies are primarily focussed on writing SME and

consumer business – but some will write commercial lines

Why do they matter?• Coverholders and Service Companies represent 38% of Lloyd’s premium. They are a

local distribution channel and carry our brand• They provide an excellent route to access SME/Consumer business that would be

difficult or uneconomic to source via open market• They are also an effective fast-track route to market for innovative new entities (e.g.

parametric solutions)

Where are they based?• Coverholders are mainly based in our key markets – especially North America, UK,

Australia and Europe• Service Companies, especially those based on Lloyd’s overseas platforms, tend to write

local/regional reinsurance business – e.g. Asia and Middle East

Classification: Confidential

Oversight Principles: A clear overarching principle is set for each oversight area, supported by a small number of underlying statements

Dimension Overarching Principle Dimension Overarching Principle

PERFORANCE

Underwriting Profitability

Managing agents should produce and execute syndicate business plans which are logical, realistic and achievable and ensure long term sustainability including expense management S

OLVENCY

Capital Managing agents should ensure syndicates Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR) appropriately reflects their risk profile and is calculated using a SII compliant internal model.

Catastrophe Exposure

Managing agents should ensure syndicates maintain appropriate control of Catastrophe risk (natural and non-natural) in line with agreed risk appetites

Investment Managing agents should ensure syndicate investment risk taking is effectively controlled, informed by wider business strategy and adheres to the Prudent Person Principle (PPP) requirements.

Outwards Reinsurance

Managing agents should define and execute syndicate outwards reinsurance strategy and purchasing plan which reflects the wider business strategy

Liquidity Managing agents should ensure syndicates (and their members) they have contractual access to sufficient liquidity in order to withstand a severe liquidity event (defined by Lloyd’s), underpinned by a robust liquidity risk management framework.

Claims Management

Managing agents should deliver a high quality claims service supported by efficient and effective claims management solutions and underpinned by a clear claims commitment which ensures fair and timely claims handling and good customer outcomes. O

PERATIONAL

Governance and Reporting (Subject to ELG review)

Managing agents should have governance structures and internal risk management and control frameworks in place which enable well-informed, timely and effective decision making and consistently accurate and timely reporting to Lloyd’s.

Regulatory, Compliance and Financial Crime

Managing agents should have robust regulatory and financial crime frameworks in place to meet and adapt to relevant legislation and guidance. Frameworks should support well informed, transparent relationships with Lloyd’s and regulators.Customer

OutcomesManaging agents should embed a culture and associated behaviours throughout their organisation to ensure they consistently focus on good customer outcomes

Operational resilience

Managing agents should maintain robust and resilient operations, embedding cyber resilience and effective third-party risk management.

Reserving Managing agents should ensure syndicates set reserves which are underpinned by a robust reserving process. All Actuarial Function requirements should be met in line with Solvency II.

Culture Managing agents should be inclusive and representative, creating a high performance culture.

The 13 Principles set out the fundamental responsibilities expected of all Managing Agents in order to support the Markets’ overall performance, capital strength, financial and reputational credibility
