The Company maintains on deposit with
United States Trustees approved securities in excess
of the net liability to American policyholders.
Total investments in United States' securities
exceed $225,000,000.
EXTRACTS FROM DIRECTORS' REPORT
, . , After deducting amounts re-assured, the
total assurances in force now amount to $1,896,
P15,934.57, an increase of $408,925,254.48. Poli
cies in force number 633,240, and in addition,
136,293 certificates of assurance are held by
employees of corporations and firms under the
group plan.
While every field of operation contributed its
full share to these impressive advances, the
rapid development of our business in Great.
Britain and the United States is especially note
worthy. The generous reception of our Com
pany in countries served by powerful domestic
institutions is particularly gratifying, as testify
ing to widespread appreciation of our record
and services.
, . . The amount paid to policyholders since
organization, together with the amount at pres
ent held for their security or benefit, exceeds
the total amount received from them in prem
iums by $111,370,229.10.
The strength and resources of the Company
have been still further enhanced.
The net rate of Interest earned on the mean
Invested assets, after making provision for in
vestment expenses, has risen to 6.58 per
cent. Dividend increases, bonuses, and stock
privileges, accruing on many of the Company's
holdings, contributed substantially to this gra
' tifying result.
A net profit of $1 1 ,028,854.59 has been realized
from the redemption or sale of securities which
had risen to high premiums.
The securities listed in the assets have been
valued at figures substantially below the values
placed on them by the Government. This under
valuation of our securities represents an import
ant safeguard against possible adverse market
fluctuations, additional to the reserves specifi
cally provided against that contingency
We are again able to report that on the bonds
and preferred stocks listed in the assets not one
dollar, due either as interest or as dividend, is in
arrear for a single day; while the dividends ac
cruing to common stocks exceed by several
million dollars those payable on the same stocks
at the time of purchase.
The surplus earned during the year, based on
the values given in the accounts, amounted to
$40,264,088.52.
$10,000,000. has been deducted from the
already heavily marked-down value of securi
ties, as additional provision against possible
fluctuations, increasing the amount so set aside
to $20,000,000.
The special amount set aside as a liability to
provide for unforeseen contingencies has been
maintained at $12,500,000.
$15,822,339.65 has been paid or allotted as
prorits to policyholders during the year.
After making all deductions and allocations,
$9,157,966.34 has been added to the undivided
surplus, bringing the total over liabilities,
contingency accounts, and capital stock to $54,
438,852.48. The continued prosperity of the Company
enables your Directors to announce, for the
ninth successive year, a substantial increase in
the scale of profits to bq distributed to partici
pating policy-holders during the ensuing year.
In addition, your Directors have inaugurated
the principle of granting a Special Dividend on
participating policies maturing after having
been in force ten years or longer. This new
bonus will enable policyholders or beneficiaries
whose withdrawal is occasioned by the maturity
of policy contracts, to participate in the accu
mulated surplus which it has not as yet been
considered prudent to divide.
The effort to provide life assurance at the
lowest net cost obtainable has been increasingly
appreciated. Our policyholders will be gratified
by this further evidence of our desire that the
Company's prosperity shall be fully shared by
its members.
