MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE CO. Of New York.
This Company held its third quinquennial meet- 1 ing on the 10th February, 1858.
A Dividend of 40 per cent. was declared on. al participating premiums received during the last five years ; the reversionary value of which is added to the face of the policy, and varies according to the age of the assured from 47 to 119 per cent. on the amount of participating premiums paid.
The Receipts of the Company for the five years ending 31st January, 1858, were $4,751,169.10.
The Claims paid on account of death, during the same period, amounted to $1,445,786.17.
The net increase of accumulations for the same time amounted to $2,627,468.22.
The total net Assets of the Company, and which are the property of the assured, amount to nearly $4,750,000.
The business of this Company is conducted upon the mutual principle, in the strictest sense of the term ; the entire surplus, deducting necessary ex- penses alone, being divided pro rata among the assured.
SECURITY FOR THE ASSURED.
Security is, in Life Assurance, the paramount consideration. If a man insure a house or a ship with a company or an individual of whose credit he gets doubtful, he will forthwith insure somewhere else But Life Assurance is quite a different affair. The bargain is one that may not, perhaps, be finally concluded for fifty years ; and any inability on the part of an establishment in extensive business to make good its engagements, would be productive of a degree of misery not easily imagined.
Parties therefore, about to assure, should look well to the circumstances best calculated to guar- antee to them the security of their investments.
INVESTMENTS.
The Assets of this Company are entirely made up of receipts of premiums and interest on its loans, and are exclusively cash.
As the premiums and interest accumulate, no unnecessary time is lost investing them on Bond and Mortgage on first-class unencumbered real es- tate in the city and State of New York.
The outstanding loans of the Company are all at 7 per cent. interest, and amount in the aggregate to nearly 43 millions of dollars. The real estate mortgaged to the Company is situated mostly in the city of New York and vicinity, and is, in all cases, worth double the amount loaned. There are also Fire Insurance Policies assigned to, and deposited with the Company, as collateral security, amount- ing to 24 millions of dollars, besides personal guar- anties to a considerable amount.
Each Bond and Mortgage is examined by the Finance Committee, and also by a Special Com- mittee of the Board of Trustees. Thus it will be seen that the securities are sound, reliable, safely kept and properly managed.
