Sun life of Canada Increases
Dividends to Policyholders
1949 was a good year for Sun Life. Organization
in strong position with nearly 50% of entire assets
invested in United States.
Total benefits paid last year $114 million.
With $18 million—a substan-
tial increase over 1949—allot-
ted for policyholders' dividends
to be paid during the current
year, the Sun Life Assurance Com-
pany of Canada enters its 80th
year of public service with a
promising outlook for 1950. The
Sun Life has been active in the
United States for over half a cen-
tury and today maintains branch
office and agency service in 40
states from coast to coast. During
the year just past, the total
amount of life insurance which
policyholders purchased from the
Sun Life exceeded $372 millions,
continuing the unbroken record of
selling more new life insurance per
annum than any other Canadian
life company. insurance in force
with the Sun Life now amounts to
$4,187,000,000, an all-time high.
Total income of the Company in
1949 was $238,000,000.
The 79th Annual Report of the
Sun Life of Canada just issued in-
dicates the Company's faith in the
United States where more than
48% of its assets are invested and
where $1,690,000,000 or 40%
of its total business is in force.
Benefits paid to Sun Life policy-
holders and beneficiaries since the
Company's first policy was issued
in 1871 have now reached $2,-
240,000,000. Last year alone
over $114,000,000 was paid out
in benefits.
At the Annual Meeting held at
the Head Office of the Company,
the President, Arthur B. Wood, re-
viewed the remarkable progress of
life insurance over the last 50
years. In 1900, with a popula-
tion of 76 millions, - the United
States had life insurance in force
of some $7 billions, or about $90
per capita. Today the population
has • almost doubled but life in-
surance in force has risen to $215
billions, or $1430 per head. The
Sun Life's own business has more
than kept pace with this increase,
today's total in force of $4,187
millions comparing with only $53
millions in force at the begin-
ning of the century. During these
50 years, too, Sun Life policy pro-
visions and privileges have been '
broadened, available options in-
creased and many new benefits in-
troduced. Even before 1900 the
Company was the first to intro-
duce the "unconditional" policy,
following later with the popular
Sun Life non-medical insurance
plan. The Company also issued the
first Group Pension policy written
anywhere in North America, an
epoch-marking event in the his-
tory of life insurance.
One of the outstanding features
of Sun Life operations during 1949
was the pronounced increase in
the Company's Group business.
Hundreds of thousands of office,
factory and other employees in
business and industry throughout
North America are today protected
by the generous terms of Sun Life
Group insurance and annuity
plans. The Company's experience
and service in this particular field
is unsurpassed.
Today, the im-
portance of Group insurance is
recognized by all those concerned
with the encouragement and
maintenance of good relations be-
tween management and labor, and
the welfare and social security of
the individual employee.
The Sun Life story for 1949,
including the President's address
as delivered at the Annual Meet-
ing ,is contained in the Report to
Policyholders now on the press.
