9. June 4, 2002 Lloyd’s of London9 Where are the weak links? Potential questions: –Premium trust funds: not necessarily released by US regulators –Cash call: if willing to stay in the market. Not an option in the unlimited liability days. –Solvency reserves (part of FAL): if posted at coming in line date Solid –RBC (part of FAL) –Central Fund –Central Fund Reinsurance

13. June 4, 2002 Lloyd’s of London13 My personal speculation on the future of Lloyd’s Lloyd’s will survive as a marketplace It will continue to be the pre-eminent center for Marine risks for the whole world It will be be important for all lines for territories outside the US, but less in the US, especially reinsurance Mutualized security will be abandoned (sadly) The franchise model will add credibility despite separately rated syndicates
