LIFE DEPARTMENT.

Life A ssuranees, in a variety of forms, are granted on moderate terms and liberal con- ditions. Attention is specially directed to the Company's Endowment Assurance lables.

. under which the amount of the Policies becomes payable at a given age, or at death, it it shall happen before the stipulated age is attained. "Whole World Policies are granted on favourable terms.

Lives of Ettropeans proceeding to or resident in India are assured at a moderate addition to the Home Rates of Premium. nt-sn nnn

The Subscribed Capital of the Company is £5,000,000, of which £550,000 has been paid up.

The Sums Assured under the Life Policies in force with the Company at the close of 18b8, when the last actuarial investigation was made, amounted to £3,173,983, and the Lille Reserve Fund to more than £943,000 {which sum is exclusive of. and in addition to, the paid-up Capital and the Fire Reserve Fund), being equal to nearly 30 per cent, ot the sums assured, or to more than 10* times the Annual Life Premium Income. Under the Carlisle Table of Mortality, taking interest at 3 per cent., the estimated present value ot the liabilities under the said policies was £762,953..

The total Funds of the Company are over £1,600,000, and the investments are or the safest description, yielding interest at an average rate exceeding 4} per cent, per annum.

In a Contract of the nature of Life Assurance, Security should obviously be the first consideration, and it may be confidently asserted that the Policyholders in the Alliance enjoy the highest degree of security: for, besides an ample Accumulated Beserve Fund there is the additional guarantee of a Subscribed Capital of not less than Five 'Millions Sterling, coupled with the responsibility of a numerous body of Wealthy Proprietors.

While the Constitution of the Company has been framed so as to provide the most undoubted Security, rendering it unquestionable that all engagements entered into under the Policies i-sued'by the Company will be faithfully discharged, however remote may be the event upon which the sums assured become payable, the Policy-holders under the Participating Scheme are now entitled to Eighty per cent, of the declared divisible Life Profits. , _.

Under the Non-Participating Scale Policies are granted at reduced rates.
