PROSPECTUS.
This company is for r.e t w• h the special object of uniting
'nto one strong institution, with its chief office in London,
numerous small kcal and colonial inst to ions, requiring
con solidat on anl additional strengt'r and resource.
The principle of so uniting small colonial institutions has
leen most successfully applied to colonial and foreign bank-
ing companies ; and as London is becoming daily more and
more the great " cleariog :house" of the oromercial world,
the different colonial insurr.nce offices have experienced the
absolute neces ity of being effectually repiesonted there, and
tole representation they new realise can only be ful y secured,
as in the case ot the colonial local banks, through amalga-
mation with some London company of ample means and com-
manding general confidence.
The directors of the Home and Colonial Company have
been applied to by shareholders in these companies to estab-
lish sues London institution, and are now in treaty wi h
several very successful colonial insurance offices, either fur
entire amaiga•oatiov, on very favourable terms, or for that
beneficial reciprocity of agency which will at once secure to
the Home and Colonial Assurance Company a most valuable,
safe, and lucrAtive business as a co-operative assurance com-
an
p y.
It may be mentioned. as indicative of the success of the
colonial insurance companies, that their selling prices
range from 1 0 to as high as 1,000 per cent. premium, and
the increase of insurance business in the Australian, South
African, Canadian, and Baste -n settlements is at a rate of
progress which has no parallel in European countries.
The princip e of assuring investments made through the
comp n y's agenov—a principle so u tcesqfully carried out by
colonial offices—will enter as anew feature into •ha objectsas of
the "Home and Colonial Assurance C rnpany ;'' end in
s numerous agencies in all parts it will possess peon iar
facilities for making assured investments for individuals in
sound foreign and colonial securities, the Directors confi-
dently anticipate, from the agency and insurance charge
eadYs in
this department of their business, a very I,;rge and st
revenue to their shareholders.
While, however, the Home and Colonial Assurance 'Com-
pany will specially direct its attention to foreign and colo-
nial businY as, it will not neelcct at the same time to cultivate
a home business—a department which will be greatly fos-
tered through its colonial connection. It will also, as a Fire
Assurance Company, share in that large increase of fire in-
surance business here, which may be expected to follow the
anticipated aboliton of the heavy and imp Aide stamp tax
at present imposed on r olcies of insurance.
No promotion money given in connection with this Com-
pany, and the Lirectors' remuneration to be left to the share-
holders.
Applications for hares to be made in the folowing form,
copies ot which and of the prospectus to be had of the solici •
tors, or brokers, or acting secretary of the company.
