Defense of methods bank control is necessary
Frederick Cromwell, treasurer of Mutual Life, testifies before the Legislative Insurance Investigating Committee about his role in sixteen syndicates in which the Mutual Life participated. He notes profits of 23,377 in five years and says the company often purchases securities from syndicate managers, sharing profits with participants, while admitting some allotments went to trust companies where Mutual Life and officers were large shareholders. He argues that syndicates are essential to handle vast assets and enable large investments, citing the need to use syndicates to place over 100 million in assets and maintain ground floor prices.
