An Investment that
does not fluctuate
in value
ife I
nsurance
OWNERS of life'insurance have had occasion
recently to compare the stability of this form
of investment with that of even the highest grade
securities.
A chart of the market price averages of
leading stocks for twenty years shows an irregular
line that rises and dips, sometimes vertically, with
"peaks and valleys".
There are no "depressions" in the investment
values of life insurance policies.. They do not fluc
tuate with business cycles. From year to year, the
44 million Metropolitan Life Insurance policies
show a steady increase in values to policy-holders.
The man who regularly invests part of his
earnings in life insurance can go to sleep each
night with the knowledge that he is building an
, estate of the greatest security and with a sure
investment return for every dollar paid in.
Life insurance is an investment whose value
constantly increases the longer it is kept in force.
