Insurance report shows Arm strong amendments curbing losses
Albany June 77 William H Hotchkiss Superintendent of Insurance submits to Governor Hughes the auditor J H Woodward report on life insurance in New York. The document says the three year decline in New York in force is due mainly to investigations not the amendments and New York companies are recovering. It details policy terminations including large lapse figures and argues that deferred dividend plans and misinterpreted statistics have driven the observed drop. It notes a notable asset growth, reduced expenses for policyholders, and argues the Armstrong limits largely did not hit New York firms, urging focus on terminations to lift new business.
