LIMIT
Article Abstract:
LIMIT is a Lloyds insurer, and its stock price was affected by a profit warning from Cox, another Lloyds insurer, in Dec 1998. The company faces a competitive market in 1999, but LIMIT has enough resources not to need to return to stockholders. There could be problems from long-tail company risks, but the company has large reserves which are producing investment income. LIMIT has the biggest reinsurance syndicates of Lloyds with strong reserves. The company no longer has an investment trust structure and will come to resemble other insurers over the long term.
