Cover Holders, as defined in Lloyd's practices, are responsible for:

Cover Holders play a crucial role in the functioning of Lloyd's of London by having the authority to issue insurance documentation on behalf of Lloyd's syndicates. This means they can prepare and manage policies, including endorsements and certificates, streamlining the process for clients and ensuring compliance with Lloyd's regulations. By being able to issue documentation directly, Cover Holders facilitate the coverage of risks and the administration of policies, acting as an essential intermediary between the syndicate and the insured parties.

The responsibilities of Cover Holders are primarily focused on operational aspects rather than managing syndicate operations, employing underwriting staff, or providing capital to syndicates. Their role is centered around executing the underwriting authority granted to them and handling necessary documentation, which makes the issuance of insurance documents a defining characteristic of their responsibilities in Lloyd's practices.
