Strong outlook for Lloyd’s market in 2024: Howden
A recent report by Howden highlights that the conditions and prospects for the Lloyd’s market remain strong in 2024, characterised by strong rate adequacy across nearly all business classes, and minimal indications of new capital entering the market that could disrupt this stability.

Strong outlook for Lloyd’s market in 2024: Howden

Howden notes that Lloyd’s has achieved excellent underwriting results for three consecutive years, with an exceptionally strong performance in 2023. The net combined ratio was 84%, and the return on capital was 25%.

These results mark a significant improvement from the poor performance between 2017 and 2020.

This turnaround is due to a focus on price adequacy, leading to 28 consecutive quarters of rate strengthening, the non-renewal of unprofitable business, and the removal of weak franchises.

Additionally, Lloyd’s reduced aggregate catastrophe exposures, strategically repositioned the market’s remaining catastrophe exposure, and implemented efforts to reduce expenses through modernization and technology. Howden states, “The excellent underwriting result of 2023 was supported by strong investment returns, in part boosted by the unwinding of material mark-to-market losses booked in 2022, resulting in a market wide return on capital of ~25% – the highest figure for well over a decade.”
