INSURANCE DIRRCTORT. rx
Standard Life Assurance Companij — continued.
INVESTMENT OF FUNDS.
The Funds of the Company are invested in Government Securities ; in Loans on tlie
security of Land, by bond or mortgage ; in Landed Property ; in advances to the Com-
pany's Policy-holders ; and in other ways affording undoubted security.
ANNUAL REVENUE, a864,) . £437,380 8
ACCUMULATED and INVESTED FUND, £2,620,272 17 9
THE PEOFITS OF THE COMPANY
Have been divided on six occasions — in 1835, 1840, 1845, 1850, 1855, 1860— when large
additions were made to Policies under the pecuhar mode of division adopted by the
Company, which is essentially Tontine, affording every important advantages to Assurers.
The Policies of the STANDARD LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY are more
Valuable than ORDINARY POLICIES,
Inasmuch as they are free from extra Premiums in the case of foreign residence, when
the Directors are satisfied there is no intention or prospect on the part of the Assured to
reside abroad. They are also free from other restrictive clauses. These are great benefits.
Take, as an example, a liferenter who assures his life. In ordinary Policies, he is limited
to residence in Europe, and his Policy is subject to forfeiture on various grounds. A
Standard Free Policy, once obtained, contains but one condition — payment of the
Premium, and for that, too, increased facilities are given ; while at the end of five years,
the Assurance Deed becomes, as regards any question, a simple promise to pay on proof
of death. If the Policy is to be made the basis of a marriage-contract, or to be a security
in any way, the advantage of a free assurance is undeniable ; and in the present day, every
Policy, it may be said, becomes in the course of its existence, in some way or other, the
groundwork of a responsible transaction.
