The last Quinquennial Valuation was made on the basis of the Institute of Actuaries' (HM. & Hм5) Tables of Mortality and 3 per cent. interest, the net premiums only being valued and the whole of the loading reserved. The sum of £240,000 was divided as a bonus among 6,152 participating policies assuring exclusive of existing bonus £4,560,415, the annual premiums payable under which amounted to £140,021 10s. 9d. The exceptional Security offered by the paid-up Capital of £1,000,000 has attracted a large amount of non-participating business to the Company, and the profit derived from it during the five years has gone far towards paying the sum of £60,000 which the Proprietors took as their share of the surplus, and which was the sole benefit that they received from the Life business in return for the guarantee afforded by the unusually large paid-up Capital of the Company. The Policy-holders in the "Guardian" have, therefore, practically the Security of a Proprietary Company with the Profits of a Mutual Society. The full Bonus Report and Prospectus will be forwarded on Application. LIFE FUND (1889), £2,460,000. LIFE INCOME, £285,000. FIRE DEPARTMENT.
