Lloyd’s, the global insurance and reinsurance marketplace, has unveiled its inaugural public asset fund, the USD Enhanced Yield Liquidity Fund, available on the Lloyd’s Investment Platform.
The fund aims to present an investment alternative to long-term strategic cash reserves at Lloyd’s, focusing on higher returns, optimal liquidity, and efficient Solvency II capital charges, Lloyd’s noted.
