The company demonstrates consistently profitable underwriting with a combined ratio in the mid-to-high 80% range, outperforming industry averages. Chubb operates in over 50 countries, leading in U.S. commercial, specialty, and high-net-worth insurance markets. The company maintains very strong risk-adjusted capitalization and a high-quality investment portfolio, though this is partially offset by elevated financial leverage and ongoing share repurchases.

Chubb opera in oltre 50 paesi, liderando i mercati assicurativi commerciali, specializzati e ad alto patrimonio netto negli Stati Uniti. L'azienda mantiene una capitalizzazione molto forte corretta per il rischio e un portafoglio di investimenti di alta qualit脿, anche se questo 猫 parzialmente compensato da un'elevata leva finanziaria e da riacquisti di azioni in corso.

Insights

The A++ rating affirmation from AM Best, the highest possible rating, underscores Chubb's exceptional financial strength and market position. The company's consistent mid-to-high 80% combined ratio significantly outperforms industry averages, indicating superior underwriting discipline. Key strengths include strongest balance sheet assessment, very strong operating performance and extensive global presence across 50+ countries. The risk-adjusted capitalization remains at the highest level, supported by a high-quality investment portfolio and excellent reserve adequacy. While share buybacks have capital growth and financial leverage is somewhat elevated relative to tangible capital, these factors are well-managed within the company's strong financial framework.

Chubb's diversified business model stands out with market leadership in multiple segments - U.S. commercial, specialty, agricultural and high-net-worth personal lines insurance. The strategic positioning of key subsidiaries, particularly Chubb Bermuda Insurance in excess casualty and Chubb Tempest Reinsurance as an international multiline reinsurer, creates a robust operational framework. The stable outlook reflects the company's proven ability to maintain superior underwriting performance while expanding its global footprint. The enterprise risk management is deemed appropriate, suggesting effective control over the complex multinational operations.

OLDWICK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- AM Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating (FSR) of A++ (Superior) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Ratings (Long-Term ICR) of 鈥渁a+鈥 (Superior) of the grouped subsidiaries of Chubb Limited (Chubb) (Zurich, Switzerland) [NYSE: CB]. These include Chubb鈥檚 rated U.S., Canada, Bermuda, Europe and Panama-based insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries (collectively Chubb Group of Insurance Companies, or Chubb Group). Concurrently, AM Best has affirmed the Long-Term ICRs of 鈥渁+鈥 (Excellent) and the Long-Term Issue Credit Ratings (Long-Term IR) of Chubb Limited and Chubb INA Holdings LLC (Delaware). In addition, AM Best has affirmed the FSR of A+ (Superior) and the Long-Term ICRs of 鈥渁a-鈥 (Superior) of Combined Insurance Company of America (Chicago, IL) and Combined Life Insurance Company of New York (Latham, NY) (together known as the Combined companies). AM Best also has affirmed the FSR of A- (Excellent) and the Long-Term ICR of 鈥渁-鈥 (Excellent) of ACE Life Insurance Company (ACE Life) (Stamford, CT). At the same time, AM Best has affirmed the FSR of A (Excellent) and the Long-Term ICR of 鈥渁+鈥 (Excellent) of Chubb Life Insurance New Zealand Limited (Chubb Life NZ) (New Zealand). The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable. (Please see the link below for a detailed listing of the companies and ratings.)

The ratings of the Chubb Group reflect Chubb鈥檚 balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as strongest, as well as its very strong operating performance, favorable business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management (ERM). Chubb鈥檚 very strong operating performance is anchored in the group鈥檚 consistently highly profitable underwriting performance 鈥 as reflected in a combined ratio in the mid-to-high 80 percent range that notably outperforms industry averages for highly rated insurers 鈥 as well as consistently solid investment returns on a high-quality investment portfolio. Chubb鈥檚 business profile is notable for its product and geographic breadth and depth, as Chubb operates in more than 50 countries and jurisdictions worldwide. Through ACE American Insurance Company and its pooled and/or substantially reinsured U.S. affiliates, Chubb is a market leader in U.S. commercial, specialty and agricultural insurance, as well as personal lines insurance for high-net-worth customers. Chubb鈥檚 rated Bermuda operations 鈥 most notably Chubb Bermuda Insurance Ltd. (a leader in the excess casualty marketplace, with a leading position among national and multi-national corporations), and Chubb Tempest Reinsurance Ltd (an international multiline reinsurer that also serves as the intra-group reinsurance hub for many of Chubb鈥檚 subsidiaries throughout the world) 鈥 are highly capitalized and are strategic assets for the group. Chubb European Group SE is one of the group鈥檚 largest operating entities and the primary vehicle for providing a wide variety of coverages and lines of business across multiple markets to Chubb鈥檚 European clients, as do Chubb Canada and Chubb Panama in their respective markets.

AM Best notes that Chubb鈥檚 risk-adjusted capitalization, as measured by Best鈥檚 Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR), has consistently stood at the strongest level, benefiting from a very high-quality investment portfolio and excellent historical reserve adequacy position, a solid reinsurance program, and a high quality of capital, in part reflecting relatively modest reliance on debt in the group鈥檚 capital structure. Tempering capital strength is a somewhat elevated financial leverage relative to tangible capital, and a share repurchase program that has constrained capital growth in recent years.

The ratings of the Combined companies reflect their balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as strong, as well as their strong operating performance, neutral business profile and appropriate ERM. The ratings also reflect the companies鈥 strategic role in supporting the organization鈥檚 global accident & health segment.

The ratings of ACE Life reflect its balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its marginal operating performance, very limited business profile and appropriate ERM. The ratings also reflect the continued financial support received from its parent.

The ratings of Chubb Life NZ reflect its balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its adequate operating performance, neutral business profile and appropriate ERM. The ratings also factor in rating enhancement from the company鈥檚 parent and support from Chubb Limited.

A of Chubb Limited鈥檚 FSRs, Long-Term ICRs and Long-Term IRs also is available.
