Inside of DJ stained at top half of spine. Minor discoloration at top of end papers (front and back) In the 200 years since its founding, Lloyd's ha grown from a coffee house with a sideline in marine insurance to the most celebrated name in the insurance field. In America, Lloyd's reputation was secured when its underwriters paid up promptly on claims arising from the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire total of over $100,000,000. Lloyd's has continued to be one of the major insurance companies in the United States. Today, nearly two thirds of the risks insured by Lloyd's brokers come from the United States, and Lloyd's is represented in every major American city. Lloyd's of London, generally known simply as Lloyd's, is an insurance and reinsurance market located in London, United Kingdom. Unlike most of its competitors in the industry, it is not an insurance company; rather, Lloyd's is a corporate body governed by the Lloyd's Act 1871 and subsequent Acts of Parliament. It operates as a partially-mutualized marketplace within which multiple financial backers, grouped in syndicates, come together to pool and spread risk. These underwriters, or "members", are a collection of both corporations and private individuals, the latter being traditionally known as "Names". The business underwritten at Lloyd's is predominantly general insurance and reinsurance, although a small number of syndicates write term life assurance. The market has its roots in marine insurance and was founded by Edward Lloyd at his coffee house on Tower Street in c. 1686. Today, it has a dedicated building on Lime Street within which business is transacted at each syndicate's "box" in the underwriting "Room", with the insurance policy documentation being known traditionally as a "slip". The market's motto is Fidentia, Latin for "confidence", and it is closely associated with the Latin phrase uberrima fides, or "utmost good faith", representing the relationship between underwriters and brokers. Having survived multiple scandals and significant challenges through the second half of the 20th century, most notably the asbestosis affair, Lloyd's today promotes its strong financial "chain of security" available to promptly pay all valid claims.
