Confederation Life Had Successful Year At the 76th annual meeting of Cord ederation Life Association,' J, K. Macdonald, `president,. and Ca - 'D. Devlin, vice-president and gen - 1 eral' manager., repoated that 1947 was the most successful year in the history of the company. New business written ata 1947 was $117,072,572, a gain of $10,240,602 over 1946. Insurance' in force in- creased by $87,645,963 20 a total of $788,140,2711, and assets end policy reserves increased to $217,- 636,848 and $176,968,430 re- spectively, Mr. Macdonald reported .that Confederation Life earned 3.68% on its invested assets, a decrease of .01% compared with 1946. "This low interest return re-' fleets the downward trend in in- terest rates for the last 12 years," he said. "This trend may ,now have been halted, but the low rates still pose a serious problem to insurance companies and pros- pective policyowners; because they tend to promote a rising cost of living and of life insurance. "While Confederation Life does not propose to make an overall increase in premium rates in Canada and Newfoundland this year, we have thought it prudesit to strengthenour reserves in or- der to give added protection to our . policyowners."
