ADVANTAGES OFFERED BY THIS SOCIETY.
Particular attention is requested to the rates, which, being founded on
the most accurate observations of the duration of human life, are as
moderate as is consistent with perfect security.
The Profits are declared in each year, on the second Wednesday in May,
on which date all those whose Policies have been in existence five
complete years, are entitled to participation therein.
This practice of an annual division, as observed by Mr. Babbage,
"distributes the Profits with more regularity and justice than any
other," and it is especially advantageous to persons of advanced
years, who cannot hope to participate in many septennial or decennial
divisions.
One-fifth of the ascertained Profits of the five preceding years is
divided between the Policy-holders and Shareholders, three-fourths to
the former and one-fourth to the latter. The remaining four-fifths are
set apart to enter into the average of the succeeding years, and thus
to provide against unforeseen contingencies.
_The Annual Reduction has averaged considerably above 40 per cent.,
and in no one year has it fallen below that amount._
The following Table will show the operation of the reduction of 40
per cent. made by the Society to all holders of Policies entitled to
participate in Profits, by reason of their having paid six complete
original annual Premiums:--
+----------+------------+-----------+-----------------+
|Age when | | | |
|Policy was|Sum assured.|Original |Reduced annual |
|issued. | |Premium. |Premium for |
| | | |the current year.|
+----------+------------+-----------+-----------------+
| | | | |
| | £ | £ s. d.| £ s. d. |
| 20 | 1000 | 19 6 8 | 11 12 0 |
| 30 | 1000 | 24 8 4 | 14 13 0 |
| 40 | 1000 | 31 10 0 | 18 18 0 |
| 50 | 1000 | 42 15 0 | 25 13 0 |
| 60 | 1000 | 66 11 8 | 39 19 0 |
| | | | |
+----------+------------+-----------+-----------------+
Thus it will be seen that the benefits arising from the Division of
Profits will be experienced by each whole Life Assurer on the payment
of his seventh annual Premium.
This system of reduction in the Premiums affords immediate benefit
to the Assured, or enables them to secure a considerable bonus by
effecting a new Policy.
INDIAN BRANCH.
Policies are granted in London, and by resident Committees at
Calcutta, Madras and Bombay, on India Risks, at very advantageous
rates, calculated from extensive data and tables, exclusively in the
possession of this Society, to show the true risk of life during
residence in India, and after retirement from foreign service.
To parties who are proceeding to India, this Society offers advantages
such as are not attainable in any other Assurance Company; for, while a
fair and equitable rate is charged for the increased risk of residence
in a tropical climate, the assured are, upon permanent return to this
country, reduced to the English rates, corresponding with the age at
which the assurance was originally effected, without reference to their
state of health, and without being subject to any medical examination
whatever.

for the purpose.
