      THE ROYAL EXCHANGE ASSURANCE . Incorporated A . D . 1720 , by Charter of King George the First and confirmed by Special Acts of Parliament . Chief Office , Royal Exchange , London ; Branch , 29 , Pall-mall . Fire , Libe , and Mabinb Assurances may bo effected with this Corporation on advantageous terms . Life Assurances are granted with , or without , participation in Profits ; in the latter case at reduced rates of Premium . Any sum not exceeding 15 , 0002 . may be assured on the same Life . The Reversionary Bonus on British Policies has averaged 48 per cent , upon tho 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 branoh . es , are spread over a larger amount qf business than that transacted by any other office . 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 Bonus equal to the average returns of Mutual Soolotios , with tho guarantee not afforded by them , of ft largo invested Capital-Stock j—tho advantages of modern practice , with tho security of an Office whose resources have been tested by tho experience of nearly a Century and a Half .
