Metropolitan's 85th Annual Report to Policyholders
More Benefits for More Poop1
More benefits for more people than ever
before! This keynotes the service of the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. In
1952, payments to policyholders and benefi
ciaries reached a new high $945,000,000.
The daily transactions of Metropolitan
are intimately interwoven with the hopes
and aspirations of men and women through
out the United States and Canada. Behind
the annual accounting lies the story of ram
iliet helped toward eeciTtty, of widow! cared
for, and children educated.
These human objectives far transcend the
procession of cold figures across the pages of
account books. Yet the figures reflect the
planning by policyholders to help assure the
fulfillment of their ambitions.
At the end of 1952, policyholders were
protected by $51,900,000,000 of Metropoli
tan Life insurance a new high record. Old
and new policyholders uicmaaed their insur
ance protection by buying $3,600,000,000 of
new Life insurance.
Newkwg-terminvtstments in 1952 totaled
$1,600,000,000. The major part of thaw
funds went to help meet the needs of com
merce and industry. In many instances,
Metropolitan financed the expenditures nec
essary to bring to the public the benefits of
tochnctocca progress in such fields as
r and i
MKTS
Soma $369,000,000 was invested in dry
' and farm mortgage loans in 1951 Put of
these funds helped finance 30,000 new homes,
and they brought the total outstanding home
loans of the Company to 197,000 at the
year's close.
The net rate of interest earned oa Meero
. poii tan's total investments after deducting
, investment expenses was 3.21 X in compaiv
son with 3.07 m 1951. However, the Fed
eral income tax reduced the net investment
return for 1 952 to 3.0035. On new long-terni
investments made last year, the net interest
rata, after all investment SAptusw but be
fore the Federal income tax, was 3.73
the highest since 1934.
Other high lights In Annual Repodi
1. The number of poticyhoiders sxrsend
to 33,700,000 a new record.
3. Accident and Health protection con
tinued to grow in public favor, and this was
particularly true of tha new forms of pro
lection provided by hospital, surgical, and
medical expense policies. At the end of tha
year about 6,200,000 persons were protect
ed by Accident and Health coverage ander
Metropolitan Group and individual poBctta.
S. The mortality rate among MeUupof
tin's policyholders continued to to Irror-
aUe. Death rate from many
ticulartr tuberculosis and most of the com
mon caOdhood diseases reached all-tiro
lows.
4. In common with the experience of bust-
acts generally. Metropolitan's expenses in
creased somewhat last year. A continuing
effort is made to keep them at a low level
consistent with proper service to policy
holders. $. Dividends to policyholders in 1952
amounted to $192,000,000 the largest sum
in the Company's history.
Metropolitan's Report to Policyholders
for 1952 would not be complete without
afjpreciative reference to the loyal and capa
bit Metropolitan men and women who
made possible the efficient and progressive
service which our policyholders quite prop
erty expect
. Additional details of the Metropolitan's
service last year art given in the Company's
Annual Report, copies of which miy be ob
tained on request
