Corpa rison Of the average gross rates of in
come earned by insurance companies on
mortgages and stocks and bonds, i9lo-l928.

Prior to 1925 the WELD on mortgages
only once fell below 6 per cent, in the
year 1919. Since 1925 the yield on
mortgages has been less than per cent
in each of the three years for which
data are available. On the other hand
it should be pointed out that the yield
on stocks and bendS has been under 5
per cent as far back as this study goes
with the exception of the years 1924
and 1925. when the stocks and bonds
show average yields of Sol per cent and
5.04 per cent. respectively.
The fact that insurance companies
up to the end of last year showed a
strong preference for mortgage loans as
compared with stocks and bonds IS
illustrated in Table II in which the
number of life insurance companies
whose mortgage loans have shown a
greater absolute increase are compared
with the number of companies whose
holdings in stocks and bonds have in
creased more rapidly than their invest
ments in mortgage loans since 1929.
In making this tabulation the absolute
numerical increase in figures represent
ing mortgage loans was compared with
the figures representing holdings OF
stocks and bonds If the figure repre-
senting mortgage loans showed a great
err absolute increase since 1925 than the
figures representing holdings of stocks
and bonds, the company was CLASSIFIED
in the column of Table II headed Num-
Der of companies whose mortgage loans
have increased more than holdings IN
stocks and bonds since 1925 On the
other hand, if the figure representing
holdings of stocks and bonds showed a
greater absolute increase than the fig
IRE representing mortgage loans. the
company was classified in the column
headed, Number of companies whose

MORTGAGES YIELD
HIGH RETURN RATE
Life Insurance Companies
Reports Indicate Earnings
of Investments.

The mortgage investments of 104 life
insurance companies in the United
States in 1923 yielded an average rate
OF return which was 062 per cent
higher than the average yield of stock
and bond holdings of the same COM
panles. according to study made by
the National Association of Real Estate
Boards. detailed findings Of which will
be published in the associations Annals
of Real Estate Practice for 1929. The
current volume of the annals is eX-
pected TO come from the press late in
November.
The study is based upon figures made
public in BeSt's Life Insurance Reports,
published by the Alfred NJ. Best Co.
The companies whose earnings were
studied arc the l04 leading companies.
The report will be accompanied in the
annals with a detailed tabulation of the
data from which its findings were
taken. including for each of the 104
companies statistics as to their total
admitted assets. total mortgage, invest
mentS, total investments in stocks and
bonds and gross rate of earnings on
each type of investment. The report
states:
The average yield on mortgages in
VeStmentS of all the life insurance COM
panieS included in the study for 1928
was $40 per cent. whereas the average
return on stock and bond holdings #
these companies was 467 per cent. In
1927 the average yield on mortgage
loans was 5.63 per cent whereas on
stocks and bonds it was 4.74 per cent
In 1926 these companies mortgage in
vestments yielded an average return Of
SIS per cent While the average return
on their stock holdings was 479 per
cent.

"By referring to Table I and the ac-
eompanying diagram it will be noted
that the average yields of stocks and

ance company investments in stocks
and bonds do not mean the sums paid
for these securities. but represent the
value for which the company takes
credit. In most instances this means
that stocks and bonds are carried under
the assets of the company at the cur
rent market value of these securities.
Accordingly an increase in the market
value of stocks and bonds from one year
to another would show an increase in
the amount of money invested in these
securities even though no additional in
vestmentS in stocks and bonds had
taken place In other words, the
volume of mortgage loans represents
much more accurately the actual in
vestments of insurance companies than
do the figures showing their holdings III
stocks and bonds"
