Extracts from the Report of the, Directors for 1853:-- -
" The Directors congratulate their fellow-members on the very grati-
fying result of the recently-completed Quinquennial Investigation of
the assets and liabilities of the Institution, by which it appears that,
on the '2oth November, 1852, after providing for the present value of
all the liabilities in the Life Assurance Department, a surplus re-
mained of 242,6271., which has been duly apportioned as heretofore.
" The reduCtions range from 5 to 89 per cent. on the original Annual
Premiums, according to the age of the party and the time the Policy
has been in force; and the Bonuses vary in like manner, from 50 to
75 per cent. on the amount of premiums paid during the last five
years.
" The total amount of the reductions per annum for the ensuing five
years is 33,3481. 17s. 2d.
" The Bonuses assigned to those policies on which the original pre-
miums continue to Ise paid amount to 89,8801. ss. Od. ; this, together
with Bonuses apportioned at former divisions, makes an aggregate
addition to the sums assured by the Policies in force of 126,5641.
" Notwithstanding the great redaction of Premiums, the net annual
income arising from 12,326 existing Policies is 163,9121. 74. ld.; this
sum, with the interest on invested capital, viz., 37,2981. 7s. 3d.,
shows a total annual income of 201,2101. 145. 4d."
The amount of Capital exceeds ONE MILLION STERLING.
Menibers, whose premiums fall due on the Ist July are reminded
that they must be paid within 30 days from that date.
Prospectuses and all other information may be obtained on appli-
cation to the Office.
