CHIEF OFFICE: HOLBORN BARS, LONDON. Summary of the Report presented at the Forty-eighth Annual Meeting held on 4th March, 1897. S ORDINARY BRANCH.—The number of Policies ) issued during the year was 64,241, assuring the sum of 16,507,820, and producing a New Annual Premium Income of £ 354,526. The Premiums received during the year were X-2,543,262, being an increase of £ 239,249 over the year 1895. The Claims of the year amounted to £ 588,874. The number of Deaths was 4,598, and 365 Endowment Assurances matured. The number of Policies in force at the end of the year was 455,795. INDUSTRIAL BRANCH.—The Premiums received during the year were £ 4,578,793, being all increase of £ 226,168. The Claims of the year amounted to £ 1,706,481. The number of Deaths was 183,959, and 1,630 Endow- ment Assurances matured. The number of Free Policies granted during the year to those Policyholders of five years' standing, who desired to discontinue their payments, was 59.534, the number in force being 499,296. The number of free policies which became Claims during the year was 9,283. The total number of Policies in force at the end of the year was 12,130,542: their average duration is almost exactly eight years. The assets of the Company, in both Branches, as shewn in Balance Sheet, are £ 27,059,111, being an in- crease of 13,143,221 over those of 1895. A supplement showing in detail the various investments is published with this Report. In their last Report the Directors drew attention to the success which had attended the introduction of the special tables combining Life Assurance wi th a provision for old age. The popularity of these tables still con- tinues, and it will interest the Shareholders to learn that Endowment Assurances and other forms of provi- sion for old age are largely adopted by the public, the number of Policies securing benefits at age 60 and up- wards being over 550,000, and securing capital sums exceeding £ 23,000,000.
