THE SCOTTISH EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY has been estabHshed
for Forty-four yeai's. The principle of Mutual Assurance on which it is founded,
the careful management of its affairs, and the equity and liberality of its Regulations, have
secured for it public confidence, and entitled it to take rank as a First-class Office.
There being no Proprietors to share in the Funds contributed by the Members, THE
WHOLE PROFITS belong to the Policyholders exclusively, who are however by
the Deed of Constitution, expressly exempted from all personal responsibility for any claims
against the Socifityi
The Profits axe divided every five years, and are allocated not only on the sums
originally assured, but also on the previously vested Bonus Additions. Bonuses are also
paid for the period between the date of the last Division and the date of death.
The total Additions made to Policies amount to £2,012,982.
On 1st Marcii 1874 the available Assets of the Society, aU Invested in the United
Kingdom, and on unexceptionable Securities, amounted to £2,104,693. The Net Annual
Premiums were £186,700, and the net Sums assured £7,109,519. The Funds in hand
therefore amounted to more than eleven times the Premium income, and to 29*60 per cent,
of the sums payable under the Policies.
