NEW YORK LIFE INSURAN CE COMPANY ~ 99*Annual Statement to its Policyholders

The greatly intensified effort of the nation at war has been the dominant influence on the activities of the Company, its agents and employees, during the year 1943,

The Company itself has recognized its continued responsibility to support the Government in its war effort through the purchase of United States Government obligations. During the year the Company increased its holdings of these obligations by $341,000,000. At the end of the year the Company held over $1,608,000,000 of such securities, an amount equal to 48 per cent of the total assets of the Company. There is no safer investment than United States Government bonds. For the protection of its policyholders, therefore, as well as for the furtherance of the public interest, the Company has adhered to its wartime policy of investing its funds primarily in the obligations of the United States Government.

In view of the prevailing low rates of interest and in recognition of the long-range effect of low interest earnings, the Company has further increased the reserves held to secure the performance of its outstanding life insurance and annuity contracts.

The Company is convinced that its policy both as to investments and reserves is, in all the circumstances, prudent and proper so far as the protection of its policyholders is concerned. It is also clearly in the best interest of the nation still at war.

The Company declared for 1944 the same annual dividend scale a3 was applicable for 1943. Dividends payable in 1944 amount to $33,600,000,

w

Over 1700 of our employees and agents are now serving in the armed forces, and it is greatly to the credit of a much reduced staff that the detailed operations of the Company are being carried on with such a high

standard of performance and service to the

policyholders. At the same time the staff, both in the Home Office and in the Field, have made substantial contributions to the overall war effort by taking part to an increasing extent in volunteer war activities both through Company organizations and individually in their own communities. Our agency organization; greatly reduced by war service, likewise deserves much credit for the encouraging growth during 1943 in the Company’s volume of life insurance in force. Sales of new life insurance were

$452,000,000, an increase of 12 per cent over

the previous year. These sales are in excess of any year’s business since 1937. Terminations because of lapse and surrender were the lowest in twenty-four years. At the close of the year total insurance in force was $7,340,000,000. :

As of December 31, 1943, the real estate holdings of the Company; acquired under foreclosure, were valued at $38,250,000, which is but slightly over one per cent of the Company's total assets. The book value of foreclosed real estate sold during the year amounted to $22,900,000.

The mortality experience of the year was less favorable than the previous year but it did not differ greatly from 1940, despite the fact that in 1943 there were approximately $4,500,000 of war claims including deaths of men in service not caused by an act of war,

Although the life insurance business; by its very nature, is an important influence against inflation, nevertheless the Company has felt that, in these days of war employment and shortages of civilian goods, it should make every reasonable effort to play its part in the fight against an excessive rise in the cost of living. Accordingly, it has taken an active part in the cooperative ad- : vertising program undertaken by 116 life insurance companies to help prevent an uncontrolled rise infprices and the cost of living. Its purpose. is to encourage people to do voluntarily those things which will divert spendable funds. into war bonds; life insur: anceand savings ratherthan into unnecessary goods. The Company joined in this program believing that it was a timely contribution to the economic and social welfare of the country as a whole and that it would directly’ serve the best interests of its policyholders.

On April 12, 1944, the New York Life Insurance Company’enters its 100th year in a strong position. The Company looks forward carnestly to the responsibilities and great opportunities which lie ahead. Ee A more complete report as of December 31, 1943, containing additional statistical and other information of interest about the Company, #ill be sent upon request. A list of bonds and preferred and guaranteed stocks owned by the Company is also available. These booklets may be obtained by writing to the New York Life Insurance Company, 51 Madison Avenue, New York 10, N. Y.
