Phone: GRant 1-0238 March 5, 1954 Verhovay Fraternal Insurance Association, 436—40 Fourth Avenue, Pittsburgh 19, Pennsylvania. Gentlemen, For the year 1953, Verhovay Fraternal Insurance Association continued to show substantial increase in all phases of its operations: 1. Insurance in force increased for the year 1952 by $1,352,686.00 which is an increase of 5% over the gain made for the year 1952. Insurance in force on December 31, 1953 had grown to the all time “high” of $49,253,478.00. 2. Ledger assets at end of the year increased to $14,275,197.00, a gain for the year of $909,127.00 which again breaks another record in the history of the Association’s growth. 3. During the year 1953, the Association added $699,417.00 to its life insurance funds, thus building its total reserves to $13,117,377.00. All reserves are calculated by the safest and most conservative standards, thereby placing the future safety and security of the insured members above all other considerations. The Management of the Association has voluntarily established the most conservative reserve standards so as to be beyond the statutory requirements of any state insurance department. 4. The rate of interest earned on all funds of the Association is 3.00%, which is very favorable in view of the exceedingly high quality investment portfolio of the Association. Since this rate of return is computed by a different formula than in previous years, due to the requirements of the new annual statement, it is not comparable to the ratio of previous years. The net investment income was $411,064.00 which exceeded the interest required to be earned by $52,312.00. The investment management is to be commended. 5. Total benefits and payments made to members equalled $733,658.00. 6. Total income amounted to $2,155,503.66 while total disbursements amounted to $1,246,376.70 for the year. Although income increased for the year, disbursements decreased, thereby indicating the prudent and efficient management of the Association. 7. The Valuation Exhibit indicates that, on the basis of the A.E. & A.M. table of mortality with interest at 3% and 2'/2 % the future assessments of the Association, at the net rates now being collected, together with the now invested assets, are sufficient to meet all certificates obligations as they mature by their terms, with a margin of safety of $917,888.54 (or 6.81%) over and above the statutory standards. We, as Consulting Actuaries, are justifiably proud to serve an organization with the efficiencies and progressiveness of the Verhovay Fraternal Insurance Association.
