PAGE 5 ' April 11, 1947 Board of Directors Verhovay Fraternal Insurance Association 436-442 Fourth Avenue Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania * Gentlemen: I will endeavor to give you a brief summary of the financial picture of your Association so that you may follow the progress of your Association from the viewpoint of an actuary. The solvency rates of your Senior Mortuary Fund as of December 31, 1946, was 112.32% compared to 117.93%,-121.16%, 120.02% and 121.87% for the previous four years. The ratio of actual deaths to expected death losses was 62.06% as of December 31, 1946 compared to 67.72%, 66.li%, 63.02% and 64.07% for the previous four years. The rate of interest earned during^l946 was 3.10% compared to 3.09%, 3.30%, 3.71% and 3.64% for the previous four years. The question may arise in your minds as to the effect of these matters on the financial condition of your Association. As you will notice the per cent of sol- . vency has decreased from 117.93% to 112.32% in the past year which was reflected in the decrease in your surplus from $995,754.37 to $771,994.28 during the year. In the determination of the per cent of solvency, the contingency reserves are not ineluded in this calculation. This contingency reserve was increased from $220,000.00 to $400,000.00 in the year of 1946. The various Insurance Departments regard substantial contingency reserves very highly and in recent years suggestions have been made to the various societies to provide for ample contingency reserves. Your death ratio was again favorable for the year which contributed to an increase in surplus. The rate of interest of 3.10% compared to 3.09% in 1945 was not favorable, but this same condition is true for a large majority of fraternal societies and insurance companies. I have only commented on the affairs of the Senior Mortuary Fund, but the Juvenile Mortuary Fund is also very important to the Association. In the past year the surplus has increased from $150,249.07 to $167,511.45, with the contingency reserve of $35,000.00 remaining the same. The ratio of 5.34% actual to expected death losses was again very favorable although the rate of interest earned of 2.81% was not favorable due to the present conditions. The Juvenile Mortuary Fund, however, as well ~hs the Senior Mortuary Fund reflected a favorable position in the affair» of the Association. If I can be of any further help, I shall be pleased to have you call on me. Very truly yours, E. T.
