ORWICH UNION LIFE 



INSURANCE SOCIETY. 



Established 1808. 



A Bonus having been declared at a General 

 Meeting of the Members of this Society upon 

 the 30th of June last. Copies of the Directors' 

 and Actuary's Reports may be obtained at the 

 Society's Offices, 6. Crescent. New Bridge 

 Street, Blackfriars, London, and Surrey Street, 

 Norwich. 



This Society has now been established up- 

 wards of Forty-four Years, upon the principles 

 of Mutual Assu7ance, during which period it 

 has paid to claimants on terminated Policies 

 upwards of 3,000,000/. sterling, in addition to 

 which nearly One Million and a Quarter ster- 

 ling has been assigned by way of Bonuses ; 

 while the Accumulated Capital, for meeting 

 existing engagements (and which is almost 

 wlioll/ invested on Real and Government 

 Securities), exceeds 2,100,000/. 



There is no Proprietary to divide with the 

 Assured the profits of this Institution, which is 

 one of the very few purely Mutual Insurance 

 Offices. In addition, however, to the entire 



froflts of the Society, persons now effecting 

 nsurances will be entitled to participate in 

 the benefits to be derived from the Reservcil 

 Fund, now amounting to 215,197/. \is. 1(1.. and 

 which, affording all the protection of a Pro- 

 prietary Csfiital, will at the same time increase 

 instead of diminishing their future Bonuses. 



The Rates of Premium are below those of 

 most Insurance Offices, and under the age of 

 45 not less so than 10 per cent., a benefit in 

 itself equivalent to an Aimual Bonus. 



One-half of the first five Annual Premiums 

 may remain as a permanent charge upon 

 Policies granted for the whole duration of 

 life.

The Investment of Money with this Asso- 

 ciation secures eciual advantages to the Savings 

 of the Provident, and the Capital of the Affluent, 

 and affords to both the means of realising the 

 highest rate of Interest yielded by first-class 

 securities, in which aloue the Funds are em- 

 ployed. 



The constant demand for advances upon se- 

 curities of that peculiar class, which arc offered 

 almost exclusively to Life Assurance Compa- 

 nies, such as Reversions, Life Interests, &c., 

 enables the Board of Management to employ 

 Capital on more advantiigeous terms and at 

 higher rates of Interest than could otherwise, 

 with equal safety, be obtained. 



The present rate of Interest is five per rent. 

 per annum, and this rate will continue to he 

 paid so long as the Assurance department finds 

 the same safe and profitable employment for 

 monej'. 



Interest payable half-yearly, in January ami 

 July. 



Money intended for Investment is received 

 daily between the hours of 10 and 4 o'clock, at 

 the Offices of the Association. 



Immediate Annuities granted on favourable 

 terms. 



MUTUAL. ASSURANCE. 



Assurances may he effected from 50/. to 

 10,000/. on a Single Life. 



Entire profits belong to the Assured, and di- 

 vided annually. 



Credit for half the amount of the first five 

 annual Premiums. 



Medical men remunerated for their reports. 



Liberty to Travel, and Foreign Residence 

 greatly extended. 



NON-PARTICIPATING ASSURANCES. 

 Assurances may be effected on the Non-Par- 

 ticipating Principle, at very low rates of pre- 

 mium, payable in a variety of ways, to suit the 

 circumstances and convenience of different 

 classes of Assurers. 



The Tables for Reversionary and Deferred 

 Annuities are particularly deserving of atten- 

 tion, whether regarded as ameans of providing 

 for a particular individual, or as a resource 

 against tlie casualties of age, and the uncer- 

 tainties of health and fortune.
