Defense of methods bank control is necessary
Frederick Cromwell, treasurer of Mutual Life, told the Legislative Insurance Investigating Committee that he was member of sixteen syndicates in which Mutual Life participated over the past five years, with aggregate profits of 23,377. He said the company often bought from syndicate managers and that trust companies also received pro rata shares. He described joint accounts with bankers for securities, profits shared on resale, and defended syndicate operations as essential to investing large sums. He noted Mutual Life had over 450,000,000 in assets and over 100,000,000 invested in bonds and mortgages, arguing syndicates are necessary to place large blocks of securities.
