There exists among Insurers in this colony a feeling of dissatisfaction with the present-system of Fire Insurance, i Rates are deemed too high by Insurers, but are affirmed by Insurance Offices to be no higher than is dictated by prud ence. ' The only solution of the difficulty is the introduction of a principle whereby the Insurers may receive a share of the profits by the issue of bonus policies. • Every Insurer may thus obtain a direct interest in the business done, and while the premiums are maintained at a rate which will afford sufficient stability to the Company in the event of extraordinary losses, the Insurers really reap a benefit as they share in the profits earned. Tne profits will be applied in the first instance to the payment of interest to the share holders at the rate of 10 per cent, on the paid-np capital, and the profits beyond the amount required for such payment will.be applied as follows:—After making suitable provision for a Reserve Fund, and for an amount to carry forward, a moiety of the balance will be reserved for the formation of a Bonus f- und for distribution among .the owners of bonus policies on whose risk there shall have, been no loss, and the re maining moiety at the disposal of the shareholders. The advantages of this system are ob viouc,aa every Insurer, having a direct Interest in the welfare of the Association, will no doubt be induced thereby to exer cise, greater caution, and use his influence to bring as much sound business to the Company as possible. A large number of shares has already been applied for, but Done will be allotted till all applications have been received,-as it. will be the policy of the Directors to allot the shards as widely as possible among probable! In surers. ECONOMY and CO-OPERATION- wiH be made leading features in the man agement of the Association, and these are principles which cannot fail -to ensure a marked’ ‘success, especi ally .as the Fire business will be confined to the Colony of New Zealand, ' and therefore under the immediate control of the Directors. LIFE DEPARTMENT. The want of a local Life Assurance Com- Eny has long been flet, and this want has en only partially supplied by the. Go vernment scheme ; while the scale of! pre miums .chargeable by foreign Companies also-doing business in less healthy regiobls Is slightly higher than that which eould with safety be adopted in our own more tempers te climate. This branch of the Association’s busi ness will be conducted solely on the mutual principle—that is the whole of the net profits will go to the policy-holders on a system at once safe and equitable, whils the Shareholders, are benefited as the jeom- Jnnstion of the two branches of the.bnsi psss is conducive to economy in manage- »



Prospectus. ment, and affords opportunities of com manding business not secured by com panies devoted to either branch alone. The success which has attended Mutual Life Assurance Companies elsewhere has been most remarkable. As an instance, the Colonial Mutual Assurance Society of Melbourne may be quoted, which, during the first year, issued 457 policies, and at the end of the eighth year had 4,313 policies, with an annual income of L 164,450. Although power will be taken in the Articles of Association for the carrying on of this branch of the business, it is not intended to open the department until the Fire Business has been well estab lished, and until the services of a thoroughly competent actuary have been secured. • The following reasons may be adduced from among many which might be urged to show the certainty that success will be j attendant on the Company’s operations: — 1. The Association will supply two ac knowledged wants, viz. : —Fire In surance conducted on principles epuitable to insurers, and local Life Assurance. 2. The nature of the business to be en gaged in is ordinarily very profit able. 3. diversity of the Association’s ‘ Operations constituting a great ‘ „ source of strength. *4;- The Association combining the popu larity of the co-operative principle together with the security to be de rived from a widely diffused pro prietary. The Memorandum and Articles of Asso ciation may be inspected at the office of the Solicitors. Applications for Shares, which shall be made on the prescribed form, must be lodged with the Secretary, the Brokers, or the Colonial Bank of New Zealand, at any of its branches. 200
