Article Abstract:
Investment trusts which give exposure to Lloyd's of London have performed well and they do not involve risks that Lloyd's Names were exposed to. There are 12 investment trusts and the biggest risk faced by investors is the loss of the sum they have invested. Returns from insurance tend to be volatile and this is especially applicable to Lloyd's. Returns are also likely to be profitable over the longer term. Such investments are not appropriate for investors who are wary of risks.
