Y5287: Lloyd’s Insurance Company – Changes to bulking lineslip processing

3 April 2020

Summary

Lloyd’s Insurance Company S.A is mandating the submission of risk and premium reports for all Lloyd’s Europe risks attaching to a bulking lineslip incepting on or after 1 January 2021. This requirement is in line with regulatory and financial reporting standards across the Belgian insurance sector.

Frequency and submission channel will align with risk and premium submissions established for Lloyd’s Coverholder Appointment Agreements.

All submissions must comply with the Lloyd’s Coverholder Reporting Standards (currently version 5.2)
Risk and premium reporting frequency are monthly.
Submission will be via DA SATS.

Note: The reporting deadlines for risk and premium reporting are available below.

The lead will be held accountable by Lloyd’s Europe for ensuring the submission of risk and premium reports on DA SATS within the required timescale. However, subject to the agreement of the broker, the submission of risk and premium reporting information can be

delegated to the broker, in the Bulking Lineslip Agreement.

Bulking lineslip facilities cannot be used where the lead managing agent is unable to comply with this requirement and alternative methods of placements should be used.

Background

The operational model implemented when Lloyd’s Europe commenced operations in November 2018 does not permit the capturing of individual risk and premium information on risks bound under a bulking lineslip*. At this time, the market was informed it was Lloyd’s
Europe intention to implement a more robust operational model that allowed capturing of individual risk and premium directly from the managing agent in the future.
