Life Expense Rate


Bloomfield j. Miller, president of the
Actuarial Society of America, made some in.
teresting observations recently respecting
the expense rate of life insurance compan-
les. 1t is said that under present conditions
the expense of writing new business takes
up most, if not all, Of the first years pre-
mium; that some companies pay. out from
60 to IS per cent of the initial premium in
commissions, fees, etc. Some officers think
this unavoidable, because of the great strife
between the companies and the desire of
many concerns to make good showings to-
said:
It is held by some that the inequalities
arising from the excessive cost of new busi-
ness, which il now several times as great
as it was. thirty years ago, may be adjusted
by considering the first years premium as
' term p,;n premium, and n IN effect ss dating the
are not prepared for such heroic treatment,
are of the opinion that the excessive ex.
penses incurred by the company without the
policy holders knowledge or consent, should
be charged against him at the outset, and
that no dividends should be paid until the
deficiency is made up out Of his redundant
premiums. Is it not possible that the bet.
ter way to treat the difficulty would be to
reduce initial expenses by paying only
moderate rate of commissions for new busi.
ness and perhaps providing for more lib
eral and Lasting renewal interest? It would
would not be at all difficult TO do 70 il
oil the companies, or even the leading COM
panies, would make the reform at the same
time. While the companies were making
7 or 9. or even per cent upon their invested
reserves, there was a much larger practical
margin in the business for expenses than
there will be II interest rates should cou-
tinue to fall until they reach only 8 or per
cent. 1t seems to me that one Of the most
important services that the actuary can rem
der is to exercise his ingenuity to the ut

cheney OF the company..s management and
the general prosperity Of its business. can
