SHORT SU3IIIARY OP THE POSITION
OF THE

I)RUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY
62, Ludgate Hill, London, E.C.

Branch Office:7, King-street, St. James's.

The Annual Premium Income of the Oompany, at the
close f 1868, was .£220,978 Os. 106., and the Total Amount
Assured £4,832,197.
The Business is divided under two heads:-
Ist --The General or Ordinary Business, being the
same as that transacted by other Companies.
2nd —The Industrial or Working Class Assurances.!
The Premium Income of the General
Business was £52,432, and the sum Assured
£1,662,960. The present value of the lia -
Unity of this Branch by the Carlisle 3 per

ing, wa= £139,322 15 8
The Premium -income of the Industrial
Branch was 168,546, the sum Assured
£3,169,237, and the Estimated Reserve 50,000 0 0

£lB 322 15 8

The Liability of the Industrial Branch
does tot admit of being estimated in the
same way as that of the General Branch,
on account. of the very largo proportion of
Policies which constAntly 184 se, so that
the bulk of the assurances are, in fact, risks
for short terms only ; the estimated re-
serve for the liabilities of this Branch of
the business is shown by the result of 11
years' experience to be abundantly suffi-
cient.

The Assurance Fund on 31st Decem-
ber, 1868, was £241,301 12 4
The average duration of the whole of
the Industrial Policies was considerably
under three years.
