In February 2010, a Working Group of industry and regulatory representatives was established to consider reviving a New York based syndicated insurance risk exchange, intended to be a Lloyd’s type insurance market in the US. Because of the interest in the exchange project, a section devoted to the project, including historical documents and materials on the original New York Insurance Risk Exchange, has been added to this site.
