Home Life Insurance President Testifies on Investments
George Ide, president of Home Life Insurance, testified before the insurance investigating committee in New York on December 11. He said the company invested in the general market with no joint accounts for officers’ commissions and that he held no life insurance with any company. Officers' insurance varied, and he would present a statement detailing amounts held. The company claimed few collateral loans and that earnings arose from investments rather than syndicate deals, with surplus around 10 percent and dividends credited to policyholders.
