The London Market Group (LMG) is diving headfirst into the world of data with its latest initiative: the Core Data Record (CDR) Consultation. Launched on November 26th, 2025, this 12-week consultation seeks to extend the Core Data Record into claims and settlement processes. Sounds fancy, right? But what does it really mean for the market? Members can access this consultation via the LIMOSS website, with briefing sessions organized through the IUA, LIIBA, and LMA. It’s like a data party, only with more spreadsheets and fewer snacks.
This initiative builds on the open market CDR released back in 2023 and is gearing up for the treaty CDR set for a January 2026 release. There’s more! Further enhancements are planned for delegated authority in 2026. So, if you thought this was a one-off thing, think again! It’s a data revolution, or at least that’s the pitch. The focus on Core Data Record (CDR) aims to integrate claims data with placement data for a more cohesive understanding of risk.
The CDR content aligns with ACORD’s Global Reinsurance and Large Commercial (GRLC) standard. Why does that matter? Well, alignment with ACORD means that systems can actually talk to each other—imagine that! Market firms are encouraged to embed this standard in their data structures. Good luck with that! The LIMOSS Market Business Glossary (MBG) serves as a centralized source for business definitions, aiding this endeavor.
CDR v3.2 was published on March 29, 2023, featuring a refreshed Market Reform Contract (MRC v3). There’s even an interactive version available on the LIMOSS Market Business Glossary. Because who doesn’t love a good glossary?
The CDR isn’t just about looking pretty; it holds critical transactional data needed across four downstream processes. Premium validation? Check. Claims matching? Double-check. Tax validation? Yup, it’s in there too. The CDR framework seems to cover all bases, which is good because no one wants a regulatory headache. Just as businesses need to regularly review coverage to ensure adequate protection, market participants must assess whether CDR implementations meet their evolving operational needs.
The CDR isn’t just a pretty face; it’s packed with essential data for premium validation, claims matching, and tax validation.
Now, let’s talk claims. The extension of CDR brings placement and claims data closer together. Insurers and brokers might actually understand how risks underwritten relate to claims made. Shocking, right? The CDR Claims Working Group has collaborated with Lloyd’s and LIMOSS representatives, marking what they’re calling an important milestone in market data coordination.
Stakeholder participation is robust, with representation from IUA, LIIBA, LMA, Lloyd’s, ACORD, and Velonetic. Cassandra Vukorep leads the charge as the Chief Data Officer.
