M'LEAN, DUNWDIN. 1 > THE HON. SIR JAS. PBISNDERGAST, WELLINGTON. REPORT BY THE DIRECTORS IN CONNECTION WITH THY 3 FIFTH ACTUARIAL 'IN VJfiBTIGATION OF THE AFFAIRS OF THE SOCIETY. The Directors have tho pleasure to present to the Members their report in connection with tho Actuarial Investigation for tho Quinquennium ended 31st December 1899, together with tho report of the Aotuary and of the Consulting Actuary to the aociet.y. In accordance with the reports of the Actuaries, the Directors have satisfaction in announcing that the surplus at the end of the Quinquennium amounted to £278,879 14s 4P. Of this sum the Board has decided to add £67,969 to the Investment Fluctuation Fund, bringing it up to £102,776 OS 3D The Board has also decided to specially reserve a further num of ,£35,000 to bring the valuation to an Hui. 3£ per cunt, basis. The pmount of £ 175.010] 4s 4d is thus loft for allotment and distribution. This, to- § ether with the amount of 15s 3d distributed during the Quinqnenuium. as certified y the Actuary, is equal in reversion to over In view of the fall in the rate of interebt throughout the world, the. Directors; after most careful consideration, have deemed it desirable at once to make provision for valuing on a 3£ per cent, basis. They feel assured that, although this decision involves a smaller bonus than might otherwise have been deolared, they will receive the hearty support of the members in tlieir resolve thus to strengthen the reserves, the effect of which will be to place the Society in an absolutely unassailable position, and lead to an increased bonusearning power in the future. The decision to inorease the amount at credit of: tlie Investment Fluctuation Fund to ;g1.02,776 0a 3d was arrived at after complete investigation of all tho assets of the Sooiety. The Directors, however, hope that a smaller amount will, in actual experience, be found sufficient ; but they have preferred to take a conservative view rather than discount a possible or probable improvement in values in the future. The last five years have constituted an important period in the Society's history, the Directors having during that time modified the former policy of expansion, and devoted themselves specially to consolidating the business and strengthening the position of the Society. The figures above quoted indicate how successful, that policy has proved, resulting as it has, in so large a surplus bSing disclosed, notwithstanding the low rates of interest which have prevailed, aud enabling the Society at once to change the Valuation rate to «$i per cent. The Directors feel that this is a result upon which they may congratulate the members o f the Sooiety. , HENRY HENTY, Chairman; LESLIE J, PARK, General Manager. Melbourne, 4th October, 1900.
