Extraordinary meeting reviews National Mutual Life finances in Melbourne
An extraordinary general meeting in Melbourne on February 28 received the Actuary's report on the financial condition and valuation of the National Mutual Life Association of Australasia Ltd as at September 30. The report shows 123,867 valued policies with bonuses added 133,698,831 and annuities of 136,041, the annual reminins 1,136,295, leaving 759,534 available for distribution. If the 1917 method had been used the surplus would have rose by 1,132,950. The proportion of income spent on management is lower than in the previous period. Total expenses were lower despite 49% of policyholders dying from active war service, with claims totaling 1,134,463. Mortality is still 772 percent of the expected rate. The actuary confirms the results are fair and certificates will reach members soon.
