Extracts from the Report of the Dlrectors,lar 1853, presented to
the Eighteenth Annual Meeting of Members, held at the Londen
Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, 22d December, 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 20th November, 1852, after providing for the present value of
all the liabilities in the Life Assurance Department, a surplus re-
mina of 242,6271. Os. Od., which has been duly apportioned as
heretofore.
The redactions 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 live
years is 33,3481. 17s. 2d.
The Bonuses assigned to those policies on which the original pre-
miums continue to be paid amount to 89,880/. 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. Os. Od
Notwithstanding the great reduction of Premiums, the net annual
income arising from 12,326 existing Policies is 163,9121. 74. Id.; this
sum, with the interest on invested capital, viz., 37,2981. 7s. 3d.,
shows a total annual income of 201,2101. 145. 4d.
In the twelve months ending the 20th November last, the Board
has issued 1,33 i Policies of Assurance, the Annual Premiums on
which amount to 21,121/. Os. 4d., being an increase of 209 in the
number of Policies, and of 3,3941. 16s. 3d. in the amount of New
Premiums thereon, over those of the preceding year.
The total sum paid, and in course of payment, to the representa-
tives of deceased Members since the establishment of the Institution
is 371,3171. 17s. 7d.
The accounts for the year ending the 20th November last have
been duly audited, the balance of receipts over disbursements in that
period is 98,810/. 18s. ld., increasing the capital stock of the institu-
tion to the sum of 974,497/. 3s. Sd., which, with the exception of
29.9461, advanced on loan at interest to members on security of their
respective policies, is invested in real and Government Securities.
