Standard and Poor's rating of the Lloyd's Market

Standard and Poor's issued their 2009 Rating of Lloyd's and affirmed the A Insurer Financial Strength Rating (IFSR) with a stable outlook.

"Lloyd's competitive position is strong, supported by the positive attributes associated with its unique brand, attraction as the world's largest subscription market, London's continued position as a major International insurance and re-insurance market, and policyholder loyalty.

In our view, the impressive level of resilience that Lloyd's has demonstrated to the events of the past 12 months further reinforces its attractiveness as an operating platform"   S&P October 2009

 Optis

Citynet Insurance Brokers arranged a liability facility for Optis Insurance in the Republic of Ireland with Amlin which is now well established and proving a major success. The partnership has been expanded and a new range of products are now available.

Optis are an innovative product producer who use the internet to distribute "small ticket" commercial insurance products to their panel of retail brokers, in Ireland.

Using web technology, all policy quotations and cover are provided and bound in real time, along with the relevant documentation.  This system provides contract certainty in real time, which is a major attraction to underwriters, along with the considerable efficiencies involved in electronic trading.

Citynet worked closely with Amlin and Optis to bring this project to fruition.  "We are delighted at the close partnership which we developed with Optis in getting this project up and running in a short time frame" said Richard Scott a Director of Citynet.  "Optis are a start up company who have a vision of efficient product distribution which closely mirrors that of Citynet, and we are very optimistic for the long term future of this and other joint-ventures".

"We believe this is a text-book" example of the partnership approach we can bring to developing innovative arrangements with other brokers seeking access to the London market for their scheme as well as bespoke business", Richard added.
