The London Market
The London market is a distinct, separate part of the UK industry centred on the City of London. Its core activity is the conduct of internationally traded insurance - mostly non-life (general) insurance and reinsurance, with an increasing emphasis on high-exposure risks.
Reflecting the City's status as a dominant international financial centre, the London Market's character is global, with a large number of foreign or foreign-owned underwriting companies.
It is the only market in which all of the world's 20 largest reinsurance groups are represented.
The number, diversity and expertise of insurers competing in the London Market means that brokers can find the capacity and expertise required for the underwriting of virtually any type of risk.
