Insurance companies began centuries ago in marketplaces, where individuals or corporations met to discuss, combine, and distribute risk. In 1688, individuals who provided shipping insurance often gathered at a coffee shop on Tower Street in London. To encourage their patronage, the ovmer of the shop provided them with reliable shipping information. The presence of the insurers attracted sailors, ship owners, and other merchants and before long the coffee shop became a commercial center for maritime trade. The name of the coffee shop ovmer was Edward Lloyd, and it was his Edward Lloyd s Coffee House that evenmaUy became Lloyd s of London.

Risks for rarely occurring events provide business for the Lloyd s Syndicate of London. Lloyd s is a consortium of wealthy investors who agree to back insurance contracts with their entire personal fortunes (unlimited hability) for such events as the loss of an opera singer s voice or an oil-tanker catastrophe. Lloyd s was a primary purchaser of corporate environmental liability reinsurance contracts, but it suffered many losses on those contracts and was forced to restructure itself in 1993, ending its 300-year history of unlimited personal liability (Raphael 1995).
