LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY.
Chief Office: 15 ST. JAMES'S SQUARE, LONDON, S.W,
RESERVES. #-
THE Valuation having been made by the most
stringent Tables of Mortality in use (the
H M and H M(5) Tables of the Institute of Actuaries), in
combination with the very low rate of 2^ per cent
interest (a rate employed by two other offices on y),
and to the high reserves so brought out, viz.,
£2.533,078,
further sums amounting to £90. 000 having been added,
the total reserves, relatively to the engagements they
have to meet, were brought up to an amount in excess,
it is believed, of those of any other office whatever.
^ PROFITS. ^
NOTWITHSTANDING these large and exemplary
reserves, the condition of prosperity of the
Society was such that the divisible surplus in lespect
of the 5 years was larger by £53)45° that oi
any previous quinquennium. The sum remaining for
division among the assured, viz., which
was larger by £40,000 than any previous one, provided
a Cash Bonus averaging 35 per cent, on the premiums
of the quinquennium, being the largest Cash Bonus
ever declared by the Society.
