A USTEALIAN MUTUAL PEO- XjL vidbnt society. Established 184 9. FOR MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE, &c, WITHOUT PERSONAL LIABILITY. Pjuxcipai. Office : New Pitt-street, SydkesT. Tlie Special Advantages offered by this well established Society are— • 1. UNDOUBTED SECURITY.—On the 28th Feb., 1869, the ascertained total Liability of the Society was £453,000 while the Accumulated Assets were .. 602,046 Showing a Clear Surplus of .. .. £149,646 There is also over and above the Assurance Fund, the additional security of a Special "Reserve Fund of .£50,000. At the above date the Society had in hand equal to 70 per cent, of the entire Assurance Premiums received from members. 2. LARGE BONUSES.— Because being a purely Mutual Office, the entire Profits belong to the Assured, and have not to be paid away in Divi dends to Shareholders. The total Reversionary Bonuses declared by the Society amount to £485,000. . Members of the Assurance Branch can obtain the value of their Bonuses in Cash, or appropriate them to a reduction of future Premiums. Premiums may be paid Half-yearly or Quarterly. Should a member die during the days of grace whilst the premium is unpaid, the Policy will still be valid and effectual. PROFITS DIVIDED EVERY FIVE YEAPvS. LOANS, within the Surrender Value, are granted to Members on the Security of their Policies. SURRENDER VALUES are granted after a Policy has endured Three Years. Conditions for Residence and Voyaging Most Liberal. The Australian Mutual Provident Society Is a purely Mutual Life Office, Local to Australia and New Zealand, not confined to one Colony, but common to all: Local to each Colony, but not restricted to any, and operating upon a broader basis, is therefore Safer than an Office confined within narrow limits: Is a Life Office having a large n no. h of Policy holders in New Zealand, and investing its Revenue from that plac- in the Public Securities of the Country. The Asset 3jf the Society comprise New Zealand Debentures1-,- the value of £64,000: Was Established in 1849, and it has successfully passed through the ordeals to which all new Life ' Offices are exposed. Having completed the Twenty first Year of its existence, it has achieved a position of Stability and Affluence unexampled in the history of Life Offices: * Its Accumulated and Invested Fund exceeds £700,000: Its Income is over .. .. .. 200,000 a year. THE PROFITS BELONG EXCLUSIVELY TO ITS MEMBERS. From the magnitude of its resources it is enabled to declare * LARGE BONUSES: The Sources of Pro-It ai'e increased by the high rate of Interest obtained on the Invested Funds, also by tlio difference between the margin provided for Ex penses, and the lev rate of Expenditure, actually in curred by the Society, an advantage incidental to a largu Business, Neither op Which can Exist in a New Office: The Annual Revenue was increased by £32,230 from Wow Assurances effected in the past year, a rate of progress which entitles it to rank with the First-class Assurance Institutions of the United Kingdom.
