Joseph Prendergast , D . D ., ( Cantab . ) Lewisham . George Stone , Esq ., Banker , Lombard Street . Matthew Hutton Chaytor , Esq ., Reigate . The Investment of Money with this Association secures equal advantages to the Savings of the Provident and the Capital of the Affluent , and affords to both , the means of realising the highest rate of Interest yielded by first-class securities , in which alone the Funds are employed . The constant demand for advances upon securities of that peculiar class , which are offered almost exclusively to Life Assurance Companies , such as Reversions , Life Interests , &c , enables the Board of Management to employ Capital on more advantageous terms and at higher rates of Interest than could otherwise , with equal safety , be obtained . The present rate of Interest is jive per cent , per annum , and this rate will continue to be paid so long as the Assurance department finds the same safe and profitable employment for money . Interest payable half-yearly in January and July . Money intended for Investment is received daily between the hours of 10 and 4 o ' clock , at the Offices of the Association . Immediate Annuities granted , and the business of Life Assurance in all its branches , transacted , on highly advantageous terms . Rates , Prospectuses , and Forms of Proposal , with every requisite information , may be obtained on application at the offices of the Association , or to the respective Agents throughout the United Kingdom . PETER MORRISON , Managing Director . Applications for Agencies may be made to the Managing Director .
