EX TI,
--Aers FROM THE REPORT FOR THE YEAR
1862.
Directors of the Royal Insurance ComPanY
called at the
bpon to make their accustomed periodical Report
eeting
of its Shareholders. are now
FIE
The Directors have. as R
p!easinglv asBRANCH. unexpectedly, at the
close o' the year, to announce, for the first time, that the Fire
Premiums have not only reached but exceed £300,000.
The high comparative per,;tio'n held by the Royal in the
y
vovernment Returns of lilnat •is ag'in fully maintained.
.„The profit ot the bUsirt'ess of the year exceeds considerably
Ie amount realised the reced.ng year, and in fact sur-
Passes that of any withP but two exceptions, sine, the
account tilt' office, the balance to the credit ou
„--ourt of Briti`,h and 'Foreign Insurances being £15,107 10s.
"u., and i,f the
rately, £ll North American business, which is kept sepa.
,09'7 16s. 10d.
The "rery BRANCH.oTatifyingTd-JUrtvEnowiails n the Directors to
state the sum assured on n 'w policies for the year 1,,6'2
eXceeds even that of the year 1861 by £lBO,OOO, and has arrived
. at the almost unexampled amount for a single year of'
;701,92'7 on 1,408 new policies issued. Until within the last
few Years it is believed that such a sum ansured as that ishich
just been announced as the result of one year's business
Was all but unheard of.
'nits portion of the Company's busine?s, has been carefully
Watched. and cannot fail to give much satisfact!on to the
shareholder, as well as no small encouragement ibr the
larPre to the participating life assurer.
Evidence of continued care in the selection of lives is amply
afforded by a statement of the number rejected. These have
amounted to 311 for the year, on which the aggregate sum
Proposed for assuran,e amounts to £'43,281, Various degrees
of ineligibility have led to these lives being declined.
No small number of the Assurance Companies of the day
record their accepted lives annually at a sum not much, if at
all, exceeding those which the Royal has declared as inadmis-
stele in a single year from deterioration of some kind or
another.
if to complete their review, the Directors now advert
briefly to the United Kingdom, they have to announce that
in Fire Business its progress has been undoubtedly more
vapid than that of any other Company established either in
London or elsewhere, except when amalgamations have taken
place. The returns of duty have proved this. In Life, the
amount of New Policies already reported make all other
evidence needless.
The Directors conclude their present Report with the
expression of an opinion that the prospects of the Royal
Insurance Company were never bria•hter, and of a consequent
hope, foanded on a grateful remembrance of the past, that
re future may unfold for it a sphere of still greater rn &gni-
de, combining distinguished commercial success to the
uffice with a lengthened career of usefulness and protection
to the public.
