Lloyd's foray into the energy insurance business is backed up by a new service, the integrated Lloyd's vehicle, which acts as something similar to a mutual fund.

Lloyd's of London announced that its recently held capacity auctions were successful despite minimal sales. Capacity was bought and sold by investors, enabling all of them to gain access to the syndicates. However, only 246 million pounds sterling in capacity was sold during the four auctions. Access to the syndicates is valuable for investors since many of Lloyd's syndicates are reducing their capacity in 1996.

Lloyd's of London has adopted the US property and casualty (p-c) insurance industry's practice of niche marketing when there is a soft overall market.
