AN INSURANCE RETIREMENT.

The Directors of the London Life Association and its associated offices have announced " with great regret, the retirement, after the next general meeting, of Mr. Ii. M. Trouncer, M.A., F.I.A., from the post of Actuary and Manager. They look forward to his joining the Board at an early date and have appointed Mr. A. W. Evans, F.I.A., the Assistant Manager, to be Actuary and Manager." The regret expressed by the Directors will be shared by insurance circles generally, for Mr. Trouncer's retirement is a great loss to the insurance world, though it is satisfactory to know that his many years of service to the London Life Associa- tion will be recognized by an invitation to join the Board. Mr. Trouneer's insurance career has been entirely associated with the London Life Association, which he joined in 1895 as an ordinary clerk, becoming Actuary and Manager in 1912. Mr. Trouncer was President of the Institute of Actuaries in 1980-82, Chairman of the British Insurance Association in 1929-31, and Chairman of the Life Offices Association in 1925-26. He was a Member of the Board of Trade Committee which considered the amendment of the Insurance Companies Act (1909). * * * *
