Life Insurance Firms See Record New Policies in 1935
The New York Sun reports American life insurance companies wrote 14.5 billion dollars of new policies in 1935, lifting in force to over 100 billion. Policyholders under the Association of Life Insurance Presidents reach 63 million, with 2.6 billion dollars disbursed this year including 900 million for death claims and other benefits. Assets total 23.2 billion, up 33 percent since the low mood years, including 5.7 billion in gains since 1929 and 1.25 billion added this year. Mortgage holdings were reduced by 32 billion since 1932, though real estate holdings near 2 billion now rise via foreclosures. Death rates fell 3 percent from 1934, suggesting 34,000 fewer deaths if applied to the entire population.
