LIFE COMPANY INVESTING AND SAVING IN HAWAII ; SOME RELATED ECONOMIC MEASURES
During 1959, Life insurance company investing in Hawaii was larger
than ever before. The net flow of funds into the Hawaiian economy amounted
to some $35 nn. for the L9 U.S. Life companies reporting to the LIAA -- raising
their total assets in that State to $172 mn. (chart below). Incidentally,
those companies account for the bulk of Life company investments in the
Islands; domestic Hawaiian companies and alien companies have relatively few
holdings. In fact, the combined investments of
types of insurance
companies, including Life as well as non-Life, amount to only a little more
than $200 mn.

Reflecting the expansion of investment opportunities in Hawaii, the post-War growth rate"of U.S. Life companies1 assets there has been much faster than gains in reserves. During the 1950's, Investments quadrupled while recerves grew 2 1/2-fold. Consequently, the ratio'of investments to reserves now stands at 70$, compared with barely 60$ in '56 and hardly 45$ in '50; in ,J+5 that proportion was only 17$.
Metropolitan has about $1/2 mn. of assets in Hawaii. Our reserves total some $3 mn.
KA.m TYPES OF LIFE COMPANY INVESTMENTS IN HAWAII For the combined 17.3. companies/ the major investment outlets are
mortgages, and industrial and utility securities. Mortgage loans run largest; holdings of those at last year end amounted to fully $55 nn., while the other two asset classes stood close to $45 mn. apiece; (see chart on following page).
During '59, Industrials took the largest Jump, when relatively heavy acquisitions of Hawaiian company securities were made. Up until that time, purchases were mostly Issues of U.S. corporations with plants in Hawaii. The change in '59 included relatively large investing in American Factors Limited, and smaller amounts in the Sheraton Hawaii Corp., Aloha Airlines, and others.
During the post-War period, the growth of industrial portfolios has been somewhat sporadic. Ciat contrasts sharply with steady gains in utilities -- reflecting the gradual expansion in electric power and telephone facilities on the Islands. Mortgage loans, too, have been gaining steadily as a result of increased building activity in Hawaii. However, their sharp up-trend far outpaces both utilities and industrials. All mortgages owned by Life companies have been acquired since '50.
In addition to those major asset classes noted above. Life companies have been adding steadily to their local Government bonds, which now total about $14 mn. Policy loans amount to nearly $11 1/2 mn. and cash about $1 mn.
Metropolitan's assets in Hawaii are mostly industrial securities. But ws also, of eourss, hava sou policy loans.

Total deposit! of Hawaiian basks sov run nearly $700 mn.; about nine-tenths of those are held by the tvo largest banks, Bishop National and The Bank of Hawaii.
As a possible source of longer-term credit, commercial banks' tine deposits have been increasing steadily (table below). They now amount to $260 mn., compared with only $180 an. is '55* Like Life Insurance companies, the banks have also stepped up their acquisitions of mortgages to help meet the heavy demand for that type of financing. The ratio of those to time deposits nov runs about tvo-thlrds, contrasted with less than one-half in '50.
Following Life companies, which are the second largest institutional source of funds, Hawaiian Savings and Loan Assns. rank third with about $110 mn. of assets at last year end. Like Savings and Loan Assns. in the rest of the U.S., those in Hawaii have also enjoyed rapid expansion during the past decade; their assets have gained nearly four-fold since '50. Nearly nine-tenths of those are, of course, invested In mortgages.

TRENDS IN CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY During the past few
years, construction activity in Hawaii has besn increasing in leaps and bounds. Last year alone expenditures hit $215 on., or double the level only three years ago and treble '50 (table). Fully nine-tenths or that building took place on the island of Oahu.

Naturally, rising building costs have figured importantly in expanding
construction expenditures. However, the basic reasons hinge upon gains in pop
ulation, rising family Income, and building required by the growth of tourism,
transportation, manufacturing, defense, schools, public utilities, and retailing.
Residential construction in Hawaii accounts for about half of total
expenditures -- about the same proportion as in the entire U.S. Last year, dwelling units completed on Oahu numbered over 10,000, or somewhat more for
all of Hawaii (chart at right).
By far the greatest number ia
privately financed.
During the 1950's con
struction of ons- and two-family
houses has grown steadily, but only
modestly. The strongest expansion
ocours in private multi-family
bouses. Last year more units were
provided in those than in one- and
two-family houses for the first time in history. Waikiki, which
is one of the moat rapidly devel
oping areas on Oahu, is currently
most active In apartment house
building.
6
Government nonresidential construction accounts Tor about one-third of all expenditures; and commercial, industrial, etc, makes up the remainder (about one-sixth). Much of the problem in stimulating Industrial construction concerns the scarcity of building sites. State and municipal governments have sizable land holdings, and private ownership tends to be concentrated among relatively few Individuals. Where land is available for sale, the cost is extremely high. Usual practice is to lease sites over long periods, but such practice has not been attractive to manufacturing companies.
The high level of total construction expenditures last year shovs no signs of abating this year. In fact the first four months of '60 run well ahead of the same time a year ago. Some of the larger construction projects in their early stages are handily listed below.

AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION
In Hawaii's econony, agriculture Is still a basic Industry even though it Is declining In relative importance. Sugar, and pineapple make up most of agricultural output, which amounted In '59 to about $320 mn., or 20$ of Hawaii's Gross Product. Sugar production recovered again last year, following the labor strike in the first half of *58. However, its current level is only about the same as four or five years ago; that la also true of pineapples (table below).
Virtually no opportunity now exists for Life company investment In agriculturalproductIon. Five domestic companies In the industry control almost
a
every phase of activity, from planting to final sales, through ownership of plantations, processing plants, and transportation corporations. The total long-tern debt for the five controlling companies amounts to under $20 on., most of which is in the form of term loans from banks. None of the subsid iaries of those companies has any long-term debt outstanding.

The induatries having the largest number of firms are printing, publishing and clothing.

Practically all firms which are domestic or Island-based (as opposed
to mainland) are very small; and those that are Incorporated have little if
any long-term debt outstanding. Thus Life company investment opportunities
tend to be limited largely to mainland firms doing business in Hawaii.
Development of manufacturing in Hawaii hinges largely on the following
factors: (1) availability of mineral resources, (2) sources of fuel for energy,
(3) cost of ocean transportation, (k) availability of industrial sites, already
noted above In the section on Construction.
Bwall la relatively poor in known mineral resources; but rather
large deposits of bauxite were discovered as recently as the 1950's. Con
sideration Is being given to the development of those deposits by processing
into aluminum for export. Titanium, pumice sad day have also been recently
found.
Manufacturing in Hawaii also tends to be curbed because of the high
cost of transporting, oil and coal to the island for fuel requirements. The
9
development of an atomic energy plant/ vhich Is currently under consideration, nay help alleviate the problem of fuel supply for power sometime In the future.
The high coat of ocean transport makes It difficult for Eavsilan manufacturers to compete In the mass markets on the mainland. With markets limited mainly to Hawaii, advantages of mass production cannot, of course, be fully realized. As a result, it la often cheaper to bring finished goods in from the mainland. The future possibility of sufficiently fast and cheap ocean or air transport would naturally be helpful to changing this situation. However, an early solution does not seem likely.
PUBLIC UTILITIES
Electric power output continues to expand at about 10% a year, as
it has ever since '50. A significant part of that expansion has been financed
through long-term debt, thus providing an im portant outlet for Life company Investing. Central generating plants rely mainly on oil for fuel; however,

IN Q) ALASKA AND (2) HAWAII
Although Alaska and Hava11 have or vial soon attain Statehood, tbs flow of lift company funds Into those areas, as for other states, con tinues to be directed basically by the econonlc forces of supply and denand for capital. Investment opportunities and potentials may suddenly seen to brighten as the two new states snea their 'territorial" status. However, even as territories, Alaska and Hawaii were Included as part of the United States.
That has long been true under H.Y. State Investment lav, which naturally applies to the one-third of all U.S. life companies1 assets domiciled In H.Y. State. Moreover, that proportion expands to about four-fifths If one adds in also those companies domiciled In other states but doing business In H.Y.; those, too, must of course conform substantially to H.Y. lav.
At the start of 1939, U.S. life ccopenle^f'had Invested about $50 mn. In Alaska and sane SITS mn. In Hawaii (chart). In both areas, virtually all of those Investments have been made since the War, and the hulk of them since 1950. The expansion has been far steadier In Hawaii than Alaska. Tor the latter there hae been no growth at all In total Investments during the peat five years.
However, In terms of potential Investment outlets. Alaska seems to offsr more opportunity than Hawaii.

A CROSS-COMPARISON OF LIFE COMPANIES1 MAJOR INVESTMENT CLASSES IN ALASKA
Hie combined life companies' $50 cm. of assets in Alaska are invested primarily in Industrial bonds (chart). Hiose now total about $38 am., or slightly below the high a few years ago. Mortgage loans have run on a plateau of about $3 am. since the early 1950's; local governments stand relatively unchanged at under $3 >>, and public utilities less than $1/2 mn. Thus, each of those investment classes, as for the total mentioned before, shows a striking lack of expansion for roughly the past five years.
Investments in industrials ware relatively insignificant until
1952-53, when the companies purchased bands of the Ketchikan Pulp Com
pany at $36 mn. j incidentally. Metropolitan alone acquired $16 nm.
Following that significant purchase, the combined companies' holdings of
industrials have eased off somewhat as bonds are retired

fund provisions.
Those securities helped to finance the construction of an ultra-modern pulp plant which began producing in 1954. The pulp la suitable for rayon and cellophane, or can be refined into nitro cellulose as a basis for explosives.

Measured in terms of annual production, the fishing and canning Industry has long overshadowed all others in Alaska (seetable through 1957, latest available). Even though recently tapering off somewhat to an annual output of $79 mn. In 1957 (chiefly salmon), fish products still nearly treble either mining or timber and pulp, at $29 on. apiece; and furs and farm products are relatively Insignificant by comparison.

However, the highly seasonal fishing Industry has offered little opportunity far life company investing. Time, that Industry shows possible future development for new uses of waste products and nonmarketable fish for year-round processing Into fish oils, vitamins, animal feeds, and fertilizer. But perhaps far sure significant as an outlet for life company funds are minerals and forest products.
MINERAL PRODUCTION AND PETROLEUM
In the past, mining was limited largely to hlsh-value. lowbulk metals such as gold, silver, platinum, and high-grade copper; In fact gold still represents fully one-fourth of total output. Alaska Is also the largtst producer of mercury In the U.8., ami tbs only primary producer of platinum-group metals. Chromite Is also mined In substantial volume.
In recent yeara, over half of the mineral value produced in Alaska came frcn coal and cowon *nd and gravel. The latter are used extensively In the construction of Army, Navy, end Air Force Installationsj Incidentally military construction represents the bulk of ell building
in Alaska. Coal ha* been mined largely for internal use; but recently Japanese steel interests have been studying the prospects of importing it from Alaska to save substantially on the price currently paid on U.S. coal shipped from Hampton Roads.
Mote in the table below how mineral production in 1957 was distributed among the various geographic regions of Alaska. Even uranium has been located in the Southeastern area and development is now in progress.

For the future, perhaps petroleum offers one of the brightest prospect# for mineral development -- and possible outlet for life com pany funds. Extensive exploration has been under way since the first oil discovery in the Kenal Peninsula area In 1957. That location is significant since it la the center of Alaskan population, with mild climate, good harbors, and year-round transportation.
Virtually every major U.S. oil company has Alaskan Interests and scares of independent# and private corporations are vying for land. 33ie acreage under lease or applied for expanded during 1998 from 10 an. acres to about Uo an. acres. It is estimated that the companies expect to spend sane $200 an. to $300 an. over the next half-dozen years or so on exploration and drilling.

FOREST PRODUCTS
Although tbe pulp Industry tau provided the only significant outlet for life company Investing in Alaska in the past, opportunities in this area are, of course, not exhausted. Increased Interest is focused on Alaskan forests, especially with the rising vorld demode for celluloee.
Another pulp plant, about equal la else to the one in Ketchikan, is under construction at Sitka, and is expected to start producing by the end of this year; however, over half of this one is being financed with Japanese capital. Upon completion,most of production will be exported to Japan for use in rayon fiber products. Several other projects are in the planning stage.
In spite of the abundance of forests in Alaska, it imports more lumber than it produces because of Inaccessibility and the distance from the major supply in Central Alaska. Timber cut aostly in the Southeastern and South Central coaatal ragiooa ia absorbed by the home market. Present demand for Alaskan timber products axceada production by almost 100 mn. board fast annually -- indicating opportunity for establishing nev sawmills, as wall as expanding existing plants.
POWER
The enormous hydroelectric resources of Alaska still are essentially untapped. Humorous sites already explored by Army engineers indicate about 20 mn. kilowatts of potential capacity -- mors than dou ble the developed water power of the Pacific Rorthvest. However, there has been no rush in capital lnveetasnt, because of the high cost Involved. Low cost power in the Interior so far is Inaccessible.

A CROSS -COMPARISON OF LIFE COMFANIES 1 MAJOR INVESTMENT CLASSES IN HAWAII
The combined life companies' $135 mn. of assets in Hawaii ere distributed mainly among mortgage loans, public utility securities and those of industrial corporations (chart). Both mortgages and utilities now stand above $hO mn., apiece; and Industrials run close to $30 inn. In addition, the companies own some $12 on. of local govern ments. Metropolitan, incidentally, has about $1/2 on. of industrials in Hawaii, but no other investments. (Domestic Hawaiian life companies and alien companies have relatively few investments in the Islands, when compared with U.S. companies)
Among major investment classes for U.S. companies, public utilities have shown the steadiest growth since the War -- reflecting the marked expansion in electric power and telephone facilities. Mort gages have registered all of their strong gains since 1950; they cover both housing ss well as cosmerclal properties. ?or industrials, which are mostly issues of U.S. corporations with plants la Hawaii, expansion has been somewhat sporadic since the War.

AGRICULTURAL PBPDUCTIOg
The relatively stable output of agricultural products in
Hawaii is made 19 primarily of sugar, at about $150 am. a year (except
for the strike In 1958), and pineapple at about $110 an. to $120 an.
annually. Although sons expens ion sight oeeur If
rises for those
products in the future, nevertheless potential growth tends to be
limited by the fact that much of the available arable land is already
under cultivation. Thus there scene to be little probability for
significant expansion In the number or also of sugar mills and pineapple
canneries, which now represent tbs largest plants in Hawaii, and account
for well over three-fourths of ths total value sdded by aannfectuxe la
the area. In and result, opportunity for life eeemeay Investment in
this field seeas relatively limited.
CONSTRUCTION
The sharp Increase in construction activity in Hawaii to $170 mn. in 1958, is caused mainly by gains in residential building, both in Defense areas and in new suburban communities. in 1959/ the largest residential development in the history of Hawaii has been announced by the Bishop Estate and Henry J. Kaiser. It is expected to provide housing and other facilities for 50/000 people, at an ultimate cost of about $350 ns.
In nonresidentlal butmnj. offices and shopping centers are significant; hotels are growing rapidly to accomodate sharp gains in tourist trade. There have also been heavy expenditures on military installations.
Although much of Hawaiian construction is either publicly or privately financed for military purposes, life companies have enjoyed steady expansion of mortgage investments, as noted earlier. Moreover, the climate for such expansion continues favorable.
pyMJc.QHMTga
The steady expansion of life company investing la public utilltiee in Hawaii reflects largely the fact that electric power out* put has been rising at 7 to 6^ a year ever since the War. Although central generating plants rely mainly on fuel oil, the use of atonic energy is being explored to help provide for future needs. Some Defense installations and plantations have their own generating systems, but the bulk of power Is produced by public utility companies.
Telephones in service have been growing at about the seas steady annual growth aa electric power. Hawaii's telephone system is operated by a single locally owned cccpany; direct cable service connects it with the U.s. and foreign countries.

Hawaii comprises 6 main Islands and many other smaller ones. Thus, ships and planes sre the essential means of transportation between them and the mainland. However, fully 3/U of the entire Hawaiian market Is found In the one Island of Oahu, upon which Honolulu Is situated. The accompanying map and bar chart, taken from a special report by the Bank of Hawaii, bring this sharply Into focus.
Sunsaarlzlng the economic picture of Hawaii:
1. Economic growth rate* generally match those for the U.S. mainland. 2. Government operations. Including military, play a dominant role In Hawaii's
economy. 3. Several large U.S. and Canadian Life companies are operating In Hawaii. A. The above seems to point to a promising Insurance market on the Island of

Three-fourths or more of the people live and work on Oahu, and they

This Island, whose land area la less than one-tenth of the total, accounts for an even larger proportion of trade, services, manufacturing, and construction.

Government operations. Federal and local, and Including military, .pay almost half of all wages and salaries, as seen In Exhibit 2. This contrasts with less than one-sixth In continental U.S. Federal military payrolls, alone, accounted for about a fifth of all wages and salaries of ths Islanders vs. only
