Life Assurances are granted with , or without , participation in Profits ; in the latter case at reduced rates of Prem * sum not exceeding 15 , 000 * . may bo assured on the 9 a The Reversionary Bonus on British Policies has averaged 48 per cent , upon the Premiums paid , or very nearly 2 per cent , per annum upon the sum assured . The future divisions of Profit will take place every Five Tears . The Expenses of Management , being divided between the different branches , are spread over a larger amount of business than that transacted by any other ojjlce . The charge upon each Policy is thereby so much reduced as to account for the magnitude of the Bonus which has been declared , and to afford a probability that a similar rate will be maintained at future divisions . This Corporation affords to the Assured a liberal participation in Profits , with exemption under Royal Charter from the liabilities of partnership;—a rate of JBpnus equal to the average returns of Mutual Societies , with the guarantee , not Afforded by them , of a large Invested Gapital-Stock t—the advantages of modern practice , with the security of an Office whose resources have been tostod by the experience of nearly a Century and a Half .
