1956 április 4. 10-IK OLDAL William Penn VALUATION REPORT HARLEY N. BRUCE & ASSOCIATES 'Consulting Actuaries 7620 North Rogers Avenue, Chicago 26, Illinois. March 20, 1936 Officers and Directors of (he William Penn Fraternal Association, 436 Fourth Avenue Pittsburgh 19, Pennsylvania. lie: Actuarial Opinion for 1955 Operations Gentlemen: December 31, 1955 marked the close of the first period of the great' new fraternal giant, the William Penn Fraternal Association. This wonderful new organization, of which such great things may be expected in service to its members, experienced an excellent year for which some interesting ac­tuarial observations should'be made. 1. Insurance in force now stands at 375.665.613 and membership stands at 89,392 members. New business written during 1955 topped $5,163, 100. 2. Surplus stands at $1,657,992.78, which represents a solvency ratio of 107.27%. This means that after establishing all liabilities on the most conservative principles, the William Penn still has $107.27 of assets behind every $100 of liability. This ratio is arrived at after establishing almost $1,000,000 of extra liabilities. These extra liabili­ties were established to provide 3% reserves on all business of the former Rákóczi Aid Association, to provide extra reserves for the loss of interest in the year of death and also to provide for $500,000 of special dividends to certain former Rákóczi members as provided by the merger agreement. The fact that these extra liabilities had been established and the William Penn reports the very strong sol­vency ratio of 107.27% attests to the excellent financial condition of the Association. 3. The net rate of interest earned on the invested assets is 2.95% which is a good rate of return on a very high quality investment portfolio. This ratio is figured in a more conservative manner than followed by many other insurers, since all expenses attributable in any way to the handling of the investments are charged as an in­vestment expense, thereby reducing the rate of return. It should be observed that the Association is required to earn only $663,349.75 in order to meet the interest bearing liabilities, whereas it actually earned $693,942.00. 4. The mortality ratio of 50.497o on the gross amount at risk basis. is exceptionally favorable. 5. Reserves for the William Penn are maintained on the conservativd principles previously enforced for the Verhovay. All reserves are maintained on an interest assumption of 3% or 2}% wdth extra reserves voluntarily established for the loss of interest and loss of premiums in the year of death. The conservative principles followed by management should give the membership supreme confidence that all liabilities will be met as they accrue. 6. The cash payments to the membership during the year 1955 amount­ed to more than $1,000,000, the exact figure being $1,250,019.95. This will give an idea of the service being rendered to membership by the Association. Contained in the foregoing figure are the di­vidends for 1955, which increased by 66% over 1954. CONCLUSION 1955 marked the close of a vear of considerable historical importancei since it culminated the efforts of many years to form the William Penn Fraternal Association. The sound principles of management and the financial situation as of December 31, 1955 reveal an organization of which its mem­bers can be proud. We consider it a privilege to be associated with the Wil­liam Penn and its excellent corps of officers and feel that under such leader­ship the William Penn will continue to grow and prosper.
