Defense of methods bank control is necessary
Frederick Cromwell, treasurer of the Mutual Life Insurance Co, told the Legislative Insurance Investigating Committee he participated in sixteen syndicates over the past five years. He reported profits of 23,377 and said Mutual Life often bought securities from syndicate managers, sharing gains with participants. He noted trust companies also received allotments, and that the Mutual Life’s funds were used with bankers to purchase securities, sharing profits on resale. Cromwell argued syndicates are essential to invest large sums and maintain ground-floor prices.
