Lloyd’s says Schroders Solutions, which manages £150 billion ($262 billion) in assets globally for insurance companies, has been appointed as investment partner of its new market investment platform.

The platform will consist of a series of select funds across asset classes, made available to Lloyd’s market investors who can freely invest in and allocate between them.

Third party managers will be selected for each fund, advised by Schroders Solutions. Lloyd’s Central Fund will act as a co-investor, catalysing the launch of the funds while enhancing the risk return profile of the Central Fund.

“We’re focusing on profitable and sustainable growth at Lloyd’s – which is why we’ve created this new platform to make it easier for investors to access and co-invest in the Lloyd’s market,” CFO and COO Burkhard Keese said.

“Those joining the platform will benefit from greater scale and investment expertise, as well as being able to prioritise green and socially responsible investments in our market.”
