Report of the Superintendent of the Insurance Department of the state of New
York, on the Examination of the New York Life Insurance Company of New V
York City.
INSURANCE DEPARTMENT. Albany. October 24. 1977.
The Superintendent having personally, anld through the services of t.he Deputy uperlnten
dent. aided by the force of the Dep irtment. commeneld and comleted a searching examinatlon H
into the affairs of the NEW YORIK LIFE INSUItANCE COMPANY of thu city of New York, it
affords him ulqualifled pleasure at being able to announce and make public the gratifying fact
that the result of this examination is most satisfactory, and that. from the data in possession
of the Department the solvency of this, or other companies undergoing a similar test, can be v
readily ascertained, at little expense, for many years to come.
This Company was orgatnised in 1545, and no investigation having been made, either by the De
partment or other properly constituted public authority, prior to the date wlhon the Department
was formed, much time has necessarily leen expended to bring the matter ton a conelusion.
The services of forty-one gentlemen of character, standing, and experience, have been pro
cured, who have valued and appraised the property sltuated in forty counties In this State and In
the state of New Jersey, covered by 2620 mortgages amounting to the sum of $17,354,847 84. and
forty-nine pieces of property owned by the Compaeny amounting in value to the sum of
$2,541,576 44; which services have been intellligntly and efficiently performed. The abstracts of
title to each andt every piece of these large amounts of property have been closely examined and
reported on to the satisfaction of the Superintendent. All other investments, amountein to
$10,311,045 67, have been carefully looked into, anl evidence of payment by the Compeany, either
by check or otherwise, for such investments, demanded and given, although many of these tay
ments wore made twenty years ago. The cash securities of the Company, the eost of which on
the books amounts to $.7a30.529 91. are of tho most unexceptionable character, and are worth
$540 51r5 76 more than cost.
The Superintendent personally examined these securities, taking the letter, number and
deuomlnation of each seourity, and preserving the record of the stme in tihe department. In
every Instance where securities had ldepreciated in value, such depreciation hadl bean promptly
coharged to profit and loss account, and all items of doubtful character ha t boen stricken oi by
the company from its assets, and omitted from its reports. Cotnplete sriatim lists of policies,
premtium loans and uncollected and deferred premiulms have boon umade. and arc on file in the
department. LIABILITIES.
Every item of liability, real and actual, or contingent, as sworn to by the officers in the last
annual report made to the (lepartment, a copy of which is herein emibra.ed, has been closely
ierutiuin7d, anti the statements in saidreport found to be true to the letter, and no other liabilities
were found to exist. MISCELLANEOUS.
The different depart.ments-Mediial. Actuarial and Agency-have been reviewed with the most
satisfactory results-gentlemen entirely competent and ssiduous having been found in charge
of each branch, to whose con-uOt antd tierormanc of their dutties much is due.
Agsents coillcting funds of the company at different points are heldl to a rigid accountability,
-remittances beitlg re uird at the larger points trl-weekly, whiloeat the smallest po|ints setttlhe
mnts re not allowed to delaod longer thau oe wek. londs are rluired whore the sums
handled are sufficient to justify the sane.
The system of book-keeping adopted by the company. after many years of experience, seems
o pe mrfect--the checks byone division on another birlng so complete that no wrong can be done
I to policy holders by fals entries of any kind short of wide-spread 'collusion among many em
t ploycs, all of wh 'm were found to be exceedingly coulrteousa. and. act ing under instructlons from
the principal officers of the company, wore promt, in furnishing full information as to every
TJudged by the hardest test that could be atplied under the law, and with every doubtful item
eliminated from their resources tho net surplus, as shown by the detailod statemont of this com
pany, which follows, 'mounts to $5.962,875 79.
This exhibit clearly oestablishes the fact, that where a Life Insuranoce Company is honestly, ably
and prudently managed, there is no occasion to fore-i a showing of solvoncy ,by including in its
assets prospec'tlvo value of real estate ani excesses of premium payments to be receivel.
For the reasons abiovi givenl . th HIeierintende't has no hesitatton in stating that, this great
corporation is entitled to publlic confldcnuc and its officers to his warmest covmmendtion.
