Japanese investment bank Nomura is working with Lloyd's members' agency
Soc Group to launch a new company to provide syndicates with additional capacity.
The vehicle will be called Soc Insurance Fund (Socif) and will inject an additional £1.2bn of risks over the next three years.
It will be funded by private investors and bond money, with Nomura arranging the asset-backed bond.
Lloyd's chairman Sax Riley will be the non-executive chairman of Socif.
He said: "The deal is a significant step towards the modernisation of Lloyd's."
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
