Extract

Two valuable contributions to what may perhaps be called the “Finance of Life Assurance” appear in the Assurance Magazine; both by eminent Members of this Institute. The first in 1858 by our present President “On the Investments of the Funds of Assurance Companies;” the second in 1862 by Mr. A. H. Bailey, “On the Principles on which the Funds of Life Assurance Societies should be invested.”
