Emerging risks

We have defined an emerging risk as "an issue that is perceived to be potentially significant but which may not be fully understood or allowed for in insurance terms and conditions, pricing, reserving or capital setting".

The Lloyd's Emerging Risks Team exists to advise the Lloyd's market of these potentially significant emerging risks. It will produce a series of reports, which are available to download below.

The Emerging Risks Team has just published its second report which examines the potential risks and opportunities in the emerging field of nanotechnology, a class of materials built on the atomic scale.  This technology promises to improve many industries including medicine, food technology, textiles, materials, cosmetics, defence and more, but the risks are still not fully understood.

This follows on from the first report which reviews why the Lake Okeechobee area is still a risk, what is being done to mitigate this risk and discusses the issues facing insurers and reinsurers as a consequence of the possibility of the failure of Herbert Hoover Dike.
