Research Department 0 profit With current Interest rates at a new peak since the 1920's, profits from this source of Income should soar. Furthermore, as Investment portfolios "roll over" and more Interest loans are rewritten at higher rates, further improvement in Investment Income should accrue. automation In bookkeeping, in which the lite companies have been pioneers, Is now bearing fruit in substantial cost savings in personnel. In June of this year a new tax law was enacted for life Insurance companies.

This law raised the taxes paid by the life insurance Industry by about 40, Obviously, this new tax bill is not bullish, especially when viewed on its face value. However, If this tax Is looked at objectively, it Is not as bad as might originally seem. In the first place. It has been common knowledge for the past few years that Congress has been attempting to write permanent tax law for life companies and the industry has been operating under this mantle of uncertainty. Now this uncertainty Is no longer hanging over the Industry and the final formula is more acceptable than most bills previously proposed.

In the second place, while it Is ap parent that the new formula will Increase taxes substantially. It will not have as much effect on earn lngs as might be assumed as the actual tax paid by these companies In relation to their site is still small. Time may prove that this tax problem has been over-emphasized In the stock market. Many a life stock's recent lag in the current overall bull market was basej on the Inevitable settlement of this tax loophole, even though It has been known for years that this tax would have to be revised and that any revision would not strangle the growth prospects of this dy. nanus industry.

Other issues which offer goed long term value, although we do not recommend Immediate purchase, Include ttnemn' Asmrance and Franklin National Life. Today's economic climate appears extremely favorable for this growth industry. High living standards, inflation, and the general Improvement In the overall economy are factors which Indicate substantially improved operations for this year, even though the Industry Is faced with higher Uii due to a revised tax law. Net gain from operations (earnings) for the Industry this year should be aided by many factors. Mortality In the United States again fell slightly in 1951, thereby further widening the ratio between the assumed mortality table and the actual experience of Insurers.

The overall economic boom and new high In employment for the country as a whole directly benefits life companies through additional wrMncs of group Insurance, and Indirectly through the Increased standard of living. One the moat promising factors for life insurance companies recently has been the trend of Interest rates. Most Dollelea In recent veara bave been written on the assump- uon mat the return on investment capital would be low, as it has been in the past several decades. Most policies currently In effect have been written with 2 to 3M, assumed Interest rates.
