Overview
Chubb Limited is the Swiss-incorporated holding company of the Chubb Group of
Companies . Chubb Limited , which is headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland , and its
direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the Chubb Group of Companies ,
Chubb, we, us, or our) are a global insurance and reinsurance organization,
serving the needs of a diverse group of clients worldwide. At June 30, 2022 , we
had total assets of $196 billion and shareholders' equity of $52 billion . Chubb
was incorporated in 1985 at which time it opened its first business office in
Bermuda and continues to maintain operations in Bermuda . We operate through six
business segments: North America Commercial P&C Insurance , North America
Personal P&C Insurance , North America Agricultural Insurance , Overseas General
Insurance , Global Reinsurance, and Life Insurance. For more information on our
segments refer to "Segment Information" under Item 1 in our 2021 Form 10-K.
Outlook
On July 1, 2022 , we completed the acquisition of the life and non-life insurance
companies that house the personal accident, supplemental health, and life
insurance business of Cigna in six Asia-Pacific markets. Chubb paid $5.36
billion in cash for the operations, which include Cigna's accident and health
(A&H) and life business in Korea , Taiwan , New Zealand , Thailand , Hong Kong , and
Indonesia . The efficiencies created by the transaction are expected to provide
greater flexibility for the company to invest in people, technology, products
and distribution in the region. With the acquisition completed on July 1 , we
will have a full quarter of earnings in the third quarter of 2022. We now expect
expense synergies to reach a run-rate of about $100 million pre-tax, which is
higher than our initial estimate. To achieve that run-rate savings, we expect
one-time pre-tax integration costs over the next three years to be $140 million
on an economic basis, as the deal price was reduced by $30 million of non-cash
employee-related retention costs. The $30 million will also be recorded as an
integration cost, resulting in total expected integration costs of $170 million
pre-tax.

Financial Highlights for the Three Months Ended
•Net income was

results, including growth in net premiums earned and improvements in our
combined ratios. Net income is lower compared to prior year, reflecting the
after-tax mark-to-market losses on public and private equities of

income portfolio were higher year-over-year by
•Consolidated net premiums written were$10.3 billion , up 7.9 percent, or 10.0 percent in constant dollars, primarily from growth in commercial lines and consumer lines of 10.6 percent and 2.5 percent, respectively, or 12.1 percent and 5.5 percent in constant dollars, respectively. •Consolidated net premiums earned were$9.6 billion , up 8.4 percent, or 10.7 percent in constant dollars. Commercial lines growth was 13.0 percent, or 14.8 percent in constant dollars, while consumer lines were essentially flat, or up 2.8 percent in constant dollars. •Total pre-tax and after-tax catastrophe losses were$291 million (3.2 percentage points of the P&C combined ratio) and$241 million , respectively, compared with$280 million (3.4 percentage points of the P&C combined ratio) and$226 million , respectively, in the prior year period. Catastrophe losses in the current quarter were from weather-related events globally with approximately 79 percent in theU.S. and 21 percent internationally. •Total pre-tax and after-tax favorable prior period development were$247 million (2.7 percentage points of the P&C combined ratio) and$205 million , respectively, including pre-tax adverse development of$155 million for molestation claims, predominantly reviver statute-related. Excluding the adverse development, we had pre-tax favorable development of

This compares with pre-tax and after-tax favorable prior period development of$268 million (3.3 percentage points of the P&C combined ratio) and$224 million , respectively, in the prior year period. •The P&C combined ratio was 84.0 percent compared with 85.5 percent in the prior year period. The P&C current accident year (CAY) combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses was 83.5 percent compared with 85.4 percent in the prior year period. The current year ratios decreased due to underlying loss ratio improvement, including earned rate exceeding lost cost trends, and the favorable impact of higher net premiums earned on the expense ratio.
•Net investment income was a record
the prior year period.
•Operating cash flow was
in the prior year period.
•Shareholders' equity decreased by$5.0 billion in the quarter, as net income of$1.2 billion was more than offset by net unrealized losses on investments of$4.1 billion after-tax from rising interest rates and$746 million related to cumulative foreign exchange translation. In addition, shareholders' equity reflected total capital returned to shareholders in the quarter of$1.5 billion , including share repurchases of$1.1 billion , at an average purchase price of$206.11 per share, and dividends of$348 million .

Partially offsetting growth for the six months was a return of premium to theU.S. government in the first quarter of 2022 of$161 million . •Personal lines grew in most regions reflecting new business and strong renewal retention, from both rate and exposure increases, primarily in homeowners and automobile inNorth America , high net worth and specialty lines inAsia , and specialty lines and automobile inLatin America . Partially offsetting growth inNorth America were additional cancellations in parts ofCalifornia exposed to wildfires. •Global A&H lines grew inAsia ,Latin America ,Europe , andJapan on a constant dollar basis, driven by higher new business and recovery from less travel volume and reduced consumer activity in the prior year. OurNorth American Combined Insurance supplemental A&H business decreased primarily due to the non-renewal of a large program. •Reinsurance lines decreased for the quarter as the impact of new treaties bound was offset by a one-time portfolio transfer in the prior year. The year-to-date increase reflects continued growth in the portfolio from the impact of new treaties bound in the current year and in 2021; and favorable premium adjustments. •International life operations declined, as new business inAsia , primarily inThailand , was offset by lower business inHong Kong , driven by the continued impact of the pandemic on our agency force, andLatin America , principally reflecting the non-renewal of certain large account business inChile .

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents Net Premiums Earned Net premiums earned for short-duration contracts, typically P&C contracts, generally reflect the portion of net premiums written that was recorded as revenues for the period as the exposure periods expire. Net premiums earned for long-duration contracts, typically traditional life contracts, generally are recognized as earned when due from policyholders. For the three months endedJune 30, 2022 , net premiums earned increased$744 million , or 8.4 percent, comprising 13.0 percent positive growth in commercial lines, or 14.8 percent in constant dollars, while consumer lines were flat, or up 2.8 percent in constant dollars, as the acceleration of growth in net premiums written described above are not yet reflected in net premiums earned. For the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , net premiums earned increased$1,269 million , or 7.4 percent, comprising 11.5 percent positive growth in commercial lines, or 13.0 percent in constant dollars, while consumer lines were flat, or up 2.7 percent in constant dollars.
Catastrophe Losses and Prior
We generally define catastrophe loss events consistent with the definition of the Property Claims Service (PCS) for events in theU.S. andCanada . PCS defines a catastrophe as an event that causes damage of$25 million or more in insured losses and affects a significant number of insureds. For events outside of theU.S. andCanada , we generally use a similar definition. We also define losses from certain pandemics, such as COVID-19, as a catastrophe loss. Prior period development includes adjustments relating to either profit commission reserves or policyholder dividend reserves based on actual claim experience that develops after the policy period ends. The expense adjustments correlate to the prior period loss development on these same policies. Refer to the Non-GAAP Reconciliation section for further information on reinstatement premiums on catastrophe losses and adjustments to prior period development. Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30 June 30 (in millions of U.S. dollars) 2022 2021 2022 2021 Catastrophe losses$ 291 $ 280 $ 624 $ 980 Favorable prior period development$ 247 $ 268 $ 487 $ 460 Catastrophe losses throughJune 30, 2022 and 2021 were primarily from the following events: •2022: Severe weather-related events in theU.S. and internationally,Australia storms, andColorado wildfires. •2021: Winter storm losses in theU.S. and other severe weather-related events in theU.S. and internationally. Prior period development (PPD) arises from changes to loss estimates recognized in the current year that relate to loss events that occurred in previous calendar years and excludes the effect of losses from the development of earned premium from previous accident years. Pre-tax net favorable PPD for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 was$247 million , including adverse development of$155 million for molestation claims, predominantly reviver statute-related. Excluding the adverse development, we had favorable development of$402 million , with 59 percent in long-tail lines, principally from accident years 2017 and prior, and 41 percent in short-tail lines, primarily in A&H, specialty, and automobile lines. Pre-tax net favorable PPD for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 was$487 million , including adverse development of$155 million for molestation claims described above, predominantly reviver statute-related. This molestation adverse development includes no change to the previously established reserve for theBoy Scouts of America settlement. Excluding the adverse development, we had favorable development of$642 million with 39 percent in long-tail lines, principally from accident years 2017 and prior, and 61 percent in short-tail lines, primarily in A&H, property, and specialty lines. Pre-tax net favorable PPD for the three months endedJune 30, 2021 was$268 million , including adverse development of$68 million for molestation claims. Excluding the adverse development, we had favorable development of$336 million with 28 percent in long-tail lines, principally from accident years 2017 and prior, and 72 percent in short-tail lines, primarily in A&H, property, and surety lines. Pre-tax net favorable PPD for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 was$460 million , including adverse development of$68 million for molestation claims described above. Excluding the adverse development, we had favorable development of$528 million with 25 percent in long-tail lines, principally from accident years 2017 and prior, and 75 percent in short-tail lines, primarily in A&H, property, and surety lines.

P&C Combined Ratio
In evaluating our segments excluding Life Insurance financial performance, we
use the P&C combined ratio. We calculate this ratio by dividing the respective
expense amounts by net premiums earned. We do not calculate this ratio for the
Life Insurance segment as we do not use this measure to monitor or manage that
segment. A P&C combined ratio under 100 percent indicates underwriting income,
and a combined ratio exceeding 100 percent indicates underwriting loss.

The loss and loss expense ratio and the CAY loss ratio excluding catastrophe
losses decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 , reflecting
earned rate exceeding loss cost trends. The loss and loss expense ratio for the
three months ended June 30, 2022 was favorably impacted by higher net premiums
earned, partially offset by higher catastrophe losses and lower favorable prior
period development. The loss and loss expense ratio for the six months ended
June 30, 2022 benefited from higher net premiums earned, lower catastrophe
losses compared to the prior year, and higher favorable prior period
development.
The policy acquisition cost ratio decreased for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2022 , primarily due to a higher percentage of net premiums earned from
commercial P&C lines that have a lower acquisition cost ratio.
The administrative expense ratio decreased for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2022 , primarily due to the favorable impact of higher net premiums
earned, partially offset by increased investment to support growth and higher
employee-related expenses.
Policy benefits
Policy benefits represent losses on contracts classified as long-duration and
generally include accident and supplemental health products, term and whole life
products, endowment products, and annuities. Refer to the Life Insurance segment
operating results section for further discussion.
For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, Policy benefits were $159
million and $185 million , respectively, which included (gains) losses from fair
value changes in separate account liabilities that do not qualify for separate
account reporting under GAAP of $(18) million and $15 million , respectively. The
offsetting movements of these liabilities are recorded in Other (income) expense
on the Consolidated statements of operations. Excluding the separate account
gains and losses, Policy benefits were $177 million and $170 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, Policy benefits were
$304 million and $352 million , respectively, which included (gains) losses from
fair value changes in separate account liabilities that do not qualify for
separate account reporting under GAAP of $(49) million and $19 million ,
respectively. The offsetting movements of these liabilities are recorded in
Other (income) expense on the Consolidated statements of operations. Excluding
the separate account gains and losses, Policy benefits were $353 million and
$333 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Premiums
Net premiums written increased$226 million , or 44.0 percent for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 , primarily due to an increase inMPCI , primarily reflecting higher commodity prices and policy count growth. Net premiums written increased$105 million , or 15.1 percent for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , primarily due to an increase inMPCI due to the factors noted above, partly offset by a return of premium to theU.S. government in the first quarter of 2022 of$161 million . Under the profit-sharing agreement, we returned additional premiums to the government because of the lower losses experienced in certain states in 2021. This return of premium reduced net premiums written growth for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 by 23.2 percentage points.
Net premiums earned increased
respectively, reflecting the growth in net premiums written described above.
Combined Ratio The combined ratio for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , was impacted by the return of premium to theU.S. government under the profit-sharing agreement related to the profitable 2021 crop year described above. This prior period development resulted in a reduction to net premiums earned of$161 million and a corresponding reduction to incurred losses, with no net impact to underwriting income. The loss and loss expense ratio increased for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 , primarily from higher catastrophe losses. The loss and loss expense ratio decreased for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , primarily due to the impact of the return of premium described above. The CAY loss ratio excluding catastrophe losses was relatively flat for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 . The policy acquisition cost ratio decreased for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 , primarily due to the favorable impact of higher net premiums earned fromMPCI . The policy acquisition cost ratio increased for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , primarily due to the impact of the return of premium described above. The CAY policy acquisition cost ratio, which excludes the unfavorable impact of catastrophe losses and prior period development of 1.7 percentage points, decreased 1.3 percentage points for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , mainly due to the favorable impact of higher net premiums earned fromMPCI . The administrative expense ratio decreased for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , reflecting the favorable impact of higher net premiums earned fromMPCI , higher Administrative and Operating (A&O) reimbursements on theMPCI business, and strong expense management.

For our international life operations, net premiums written decreased 4.9 percent for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 , as growth inAsia from new business, principally inThailand andIndonesia , was offset by lower business inHong Kong andKorea , driven by the continued impact of the pandemic on our agency force, andLatin America , principally reflecting the non-renewal of certain large account business inChile . For the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , net premiums written declined 4.7 percent as growth inThailand ,Taiwan ,Indonesia andVietnam were more than offset by declines inHong Kong ,Korea , andLatin America as noted above. Net premiums written in ourNorth American Combined Insurance business declined 10.2 percent and 8.8 percent, for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , respectively, primarily due to the non-renewal of a large program.

Deposits collected on universal life and investment contracts (life deposits)
are not reflected as revenues in our Consolidated statements of operations in
accordance with GAAP. New life deposits are an important component of
production, and although they do not significantly affect current period income
from operations, they are key to our efforts to grow our business. Life deposits
collected decreased $178 million and $172 million for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2022 , respectively, primarily in Taiwan , reflecting challenging
market conditions for deposit products. The prior year benefited from successful
sales campaigns in broker and bank channels in Taiwan.
Life Insurance underwriting income and Segment income
Life Insurance underwriting income increased $15 million and $33 million for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2022 , respectively, reflecting lower
year-over-year COVID-related losses and lower policy acquisition costs primarily
due to the decrease in net premiums written and deposits collected noted above.
Segment income was flat for the three months ended June 30, 2022 . Segment income
increased $10 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 , primarily due to
the increase in underwriting income described above, partially offset by lower
income from our investment in Huatai , our partially-owned insurance entity in
China .
Corporate
Corporate results primarily include the results of our non-insurance companies,
income and expenses not attributable to reportable segments and loss and loss
expenses of asbestos and environmental (A&E) liabilities and certain other
non-A&E run-off exposures, including molestation.

Cigna integration expenses are one-time in nature and are not related to the
on-going business activities of the segments. The Chief Executive Officer does
not manage segment results or allocate resources to segments when considering
these costs and they are therefore excluded from our definition of segment
income.
Refer to the respective sections that follow for a discussion of Net realized
gains (losses), Net investment income (loss), Amortization of purchased
intangibles, and Income tax expense (benefit). Refer to Note 11 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on Other (income)
expense.
Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses)
We take a long-term view with our investment strategy, and our investment
managers manage our investment portfolio to maximize total return within
specific guidelines designed to minimize risk. The majority of our investment
portfolio is available for sale and reported at fair value. Our held to maturity
investment portfolio is reported at amortized cost, net of valuation allowance.
The effect of market movements on our fixed maturities portfolio impacts Net
income (through Net realized gains (losses)) when securities are sold, when we
write down an asset, or when we record a change to the valuation allowance for
expected credit losses. For a further discussion related to how we assess the
valuation allowance for expected credit losses and the related impact on Net
income, refer to Note 1 e) to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2021
Form 10-K. Additionally, Net income is impacted through the reporting of changes
in the fair value of equity securities, private equity funds where we own less
than three percent, and derivatives, including financial futures, options,
swaps, and GLB reinsurance. Changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation
on available for sale securities, resulting from the revaluation of securities
held, changes in cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment, and
unrealized postretirement benefit obligations liability adjustment, are reported
as separate components of Accumulated other comprehensive income in
Shareholders' equity in the Consolidated balance sheets.

Pre-tax net unrealized losses of$4,344 million and$8,996 million in our investment portfolio for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , respectively, were principally the result of an increase in interest rates. In addition, there were realized losses of$782 million and$760 million for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , respectively, primarily from mark-to-market losses on public equities and sales in fixed income securities. The variable annuity reinsurance derivative transactions consist of changes in the fair value of GLB liabilities and gains or losses on other derivative instruments we maintain that decrease in fair value when the S&P 500 index increases. The variable annuity reinsurance derivative transactions resulted in realized gains of$1 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 , reflecting a net loss of$143 million , primarily from an increase in the fair value of the GLB liabilities, and a net realized gain of$144 million related to these derivative instruments. The variable annuity reinsurance derivative transactions resulted in realized gains of$78 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , reflecting a net loss of$108 million , primarily from an increase in the fair value of the GLB liabilities, and a net realized gain of$186 million related to these derivative instruments. The increase in the fair value of the GLB liabilities for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , was primarily due to lower global equity markets and higher volatility, partially offset by higher interest rates. For the three months endedJune 30, 2021 , the variable annuity reinsurance derivative transactions resulted in realized losses of$72 million , reflecting principally a net realized loss of$64 million related to these other derivatives. The fair value of the GLB liabilities remained relatively flat for the three months endedJune 30, 2021 , as the impact of higher global equity markets was offset by lower interest rates. For the six months endedJune 30, 2021 , the variable annuity reinsurance derivative transactions resulted in realized gains of$203 million reflecting a net gain of$311 million principally related to a decrease in the fair value of the GLB liabilities due to higher interest rates and higher global equity markets, partially offset by a net realized loss of$108 million related to these other derivatives. Effective Income Tax Rate Our effective tax rate (ETR) reflects a mix of income or losses in jurisdictions with a wide range of tax rates, permanent differences between GAAP and local tax laws, and the impact of discrete items. A change in the geographic mix of earnings could impact our ETR.
57
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents For the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 our ETR was 19.4 percent and 16.9 percent, respectively. This compares to an ETR of 12.3 percent and 12.5 percent for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2021 , respectively. The ETR for each period was impacted by our mix of earnings among various jurisdictions and discrete tax benefits. Non-GAAP Reconciliation In presenting our results, we included and discussed certain non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures, which may be defined differently by other companies, are important for an understanding of our overall results of operations and financial condition. However, they should not be viewed as a substitute for measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Book value per common share is shareholders' equity divided by the shares outstanding. Tangible book value per common share is shareholders' equity less goodwill and other intangible assets, net of tax, divided by the shares outstanding. We believe that book value comparisons to less acquisitive peer companies are more meaningful when adjusted for goodwill and other intangible assets. The calculation of tangible book value per share does not consider the embedded goodwill attributable to our investments in partially-owned insurance companies until we consolidate. We provide financial measures, including net premiums written, net premiums earned, and underwriting income on a constant-dollar basis. We believe it is useful to evaluate the trends in our results exclusive of the effect of fluctuations in exchange rates between theU.S. dollar and the currencies in which our international business is transacted, as these exchange rates could fluctuate significantly between periods and distort the analysis of trends. The impact is determined by assuming constant foreign exchange rates between periods by translating prior period results using the same local currency exchange rates as the comparable current period. P&C performance metrics comprise consolidated operating results (including Corporate) and exclude the operating results of the Life Insurance segment. We believe that these measures are useful and meaningful to investors as they are used by management to assess the company's P&C operations which are the most economically similar. We exclude the Life Insurance segment because the results of this business do not always correlate with the results of our P&C operations. P&C combined ratio is the sum of the loss and loss expense ratio, policy acquisition cost ratio and the administrative expense ratio excluding the life business and including the realized gains and losses on the crop derivatives. These derivatives were purchased to provide economic benefit, in a manner similar to reinsurance protection, in the event that a significant decline in commodity pricing impacts underwriting results. We view gains and losses on these derivatives as part of the results of our underwriting operations. CAY P&C combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses (CATs) excludes CATs and prior period development (PPD) from the P&C combined ratio. We exclude CATs as they are not predictable as to timing and amount and PPD as these unexpected loss developments on historical reserves are not indicative of our current underwriting performance. The combined ratio numerator is adjusted to exclude CATs, net premiums earned adjustments on PPD, prior period expense adjustments and reinstatement premiums on PPD, and the denominator is adjusted to exclude net premiums earned adjustments on PPD and reinstatement premiums on CATs and PPD. In periods where there are adjustments on loss sensitive policies, these adjustments are excluded from PPD and net premiums earned when calculating the ratios. We believe this measure provides a better evaluation of our underwriting performance and enhances the understanding of the trends in our P&C business that may be obscured by these items. This measure is commonly reported among our peer companies and allows for a better comparison. Reinstatement premiums are additional premiums paid on certain reinsurance agreements in order to reinstate coverage that had been exhausted by loss occurrences. The reinstatement premium amount is typically a pro rata portion of the original ceded premium paid based on how much of the reinsurance limit had been exhausted. Net premiums earned adjustments within PPD are adjustments to the initial premium earned on retrospectively rated policies based on actual claim experience that develops after the policy period ends. The premium adjustments correlate to the prior period loss development on these same policies and are fully earned in the period the adjustments are recorded. Prior period expense adjustments typically relate to adjustable commission reserves or policyholder dividend reserves based on actual claim experience that develops after the policy period ends. The expense adjustments correlate to the prior period loss development on these same policies.

Net investment income increased 0.4 percent for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 , primarily due to higher reinvestment rates on fixed maturities, offset by reduced call activity in fixed income securities, and lower income from equity securities and private equities, which are included in Other investments. Net investment income decreased 2.1 percent for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , due to reduced call activity in fixed income securities and lower income from equity securities, and private equities, which are included in Other investments.

Interest Expense
Interest expense was $266 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 ,
including a benefit of $10 million related to the amortization of the fair value
of debt assumed in the Chubb Corp acquisition. Pre-tax interest expense for our
existing debt obligations and fees based on expected usage of certain
facilities, including letters of credit, collateral fees, and repurchase
agreements, is expected to be $297 million for the rest of 2022, or, $573
million for the full year 2022 based on current foreign exchange rates. This is
an increase of about $30 million from our previous estimate of $543 million for
full year 2022 as disclosed in our 2021 Form 10-K. This increase is primarily
driven by interest from an additional $2.0 billion in repurchase agreements
which Chubb entered into during the second quarter of 2022 to finance a portion
of the acquisition of Cigna's accident and health (A&H) and life business in six
Asia-Pacific markets. The $2.0 billion repurchase agreements are due to expire
by the end of 2022. In addition, we expect a benefit of $11 million related to
the fair value of debt amortization for the rest of 2022, or, $21 million for
the full year 2022. For more information on our debt obligations, refer to Note
9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, under Item 8 in our 2021 Form 10-K.
Investments
Our investment portfolio is invested primarily in publicly traded, investment
grade, fixed income securities with an average credit quality of A/A as rated by
the independent investment rating services Standard and Poor's (S&P)/Moody's
Investors Service (Moody's) at June 30, 2022 . The portfolio is externally
managed by independent, professional investment managers and is broadly
diversified across geographies, sectors, and issuers. Other investments
principally comprise direct investments, investment funds, and limited
partnerships. We hold no collateralized debt obligations in our investment
portfolio, and we provide no credit default protection. We have long-standing
global credit limits for our entire portfolio across the organization. Exposures
are aggregated, monitored, and actively managed by our Global Credit Committee,
comprising senior executives, including our Chief Financial Officer, our Chief
Risk Officer , our Chief Investment Officer, and our Treasurer. We also have
well-established, strict contractual investment rules requiring managers to
maintain highly diversified exposures to individual issuers and closely monitor
investment manager compliance with portfolio guidelines.
The average duration of our fixed income securities, including the effect of
options and swaps, was 4.3 years and 4.1 years at June 30, 2022 and December 31,
2021 , respectively. We estimate that a 100 basis point (bps) increase in
interest rates would reduce the valuation of our fixed income portfolio by
approximately $4.1 billion at June 30, 2022 . The following table shows the fair

Our exposure to the Euro results primarily fromChubb European Group SE which is headquartered inFrance and offers a broad range of coverages throughout theEuropean Union , Central, andEastern Europe . Chubb primarily invests in Euro denominated investments to support its local currency insurance obligations and required capital levels. Chubb's local currency investment portfolios have strict contractual investment guidelines requiring managers to maintain a high quality and diversified portfolio to both sector and individual issuers. Investment portfolios are monitored daily to ensure investment manager compliance with portfolio guidelines. Our non-U.S. investment grade fixed income portfolios are currency-matched with the insurance liabilities of our non-U.S. operations. The average credit quality of our non-U.S. fixed income securities is A and 45 percent of our holdings are ratedAAA or guaranteed by governments or quasi-government agencies. Within the context of these investment portfolios, our government and corporate bond holdings are highly diversified across industries and geographies. Issuer limits are based on credit rating (AA-two percent, A-one percent, BBB-0.5 percent of the total portfolio) and are monitored daily via an internal compliance system. We manage our indirect exposure using the same credit rating based investment approach. Accordingly, we do not believe our indirect exposure is material.

Below-investment grade corporate fixed income portfolio Below-investment grade securities have different characteristics than investment grade corporate debt securities. Risk of loss from default by the borrower is greater with below-investment grade securities. Below-investment grade securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors of the issuer. Also, issuers of below-investment grade securities usually have higher levels of debt and are more sensitive to adverse economic conditions, such as recession or increasing interest rates, than investment grade issuers. AtJune 30, 2022 , our corporate fixed income investment portfolio included below-investment grade and non-rated securities which, in total, comprised approximately 16 percent of our fixed income portfolio. Our below-investment grade and non-rated portfolio includes 1,739 issuers, with the greatest single exposure being$143 million . We manage high-yield bonds as a distinct and separate asset class from investment grade bonds. The allocation to high-yield bonds is explicitly set by internal management and is targeted to securities in the upper tier of credit quality (BB/B). Our minimum rating for initial purchase is BB/B. Fourteen external investment managers are responsible for high-yield security selection and portfolio construction. Our high-yield managers have a conservative approach to credit selection and very low historical default experience. Holdings are highly diversified across industries and generally subject to a 1.5 percent issuer limit as a percentage of high-yield allocation. We monitor position limits daily through an internal compliance system. Derivative and structured securities (e.g., credit default swaps and collateralized debt obligations) are not permitted in the high-yield portfolio.

Critical Accounting Estimates
As of June 30, 2022 , there were no material changes to our critical accounting
estimates. For a full discussion of our critical accounting estimates, refer to
Item 7 in our 2021 Form 10-K.
Unpaid losses and loss expenses
As an insurance and reinsurance company, we are required by applicable laws and
regulations and GAAP to establish loss and loss expense reserves for the
estimated unpaid portion of the ultimate liability for losses and loss expenses
under the terms of our policies and agreements with our insured and reinsured
customers. With the exception of certain structured settlements, for which the
timing and amount of future claim payments are reliably determinable, and
certain reserves for unsettled claims, our loss reserves are not discounted for
the time value of money.
The following table presents a roll-forward of our unpaid losses and loss
expenses:

The estimate of the liabilities includes provisions for claims that have been reported but are unpaid at the balance sheet date (case reserves) and for obligations on claims that have been incurred but not reported (IBNR) at the balance sheet date. IBNR may also include provisions to account for the possibility that reported claims may settle for amounts that differ from the established case reserves. Loss reserves also include an estimate of expenses associated with processing and settling unpaid claims (loss expenses).
Refer to Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion on the
changes in the loss reserves.
Asbestos and Environmental (A&E) There was no significant A&E reserve activity during the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 . A&E reserves are included in Corporate. Refer to our 2021 Form 10-K for further information on our A&E exposures. Fair value measurements Accounting guidance defines fair value as the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy based on the reliability of the inputs. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable data (Level 3 inputs). Level 2 includes inputs, other than quoted prices within Level 1, that are observable for assets or liabilities either directly or indirectly. Refer to Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information on our fair value measurements.

Catastrophe Management
We actively monitor and manage our catastrophe risk accumulation around the
world from natural perils, including setting risk limits based on probable
maximum loss (PML), and purchasing catastrophe reinsurance, to ensure sufficient
liquidity and capital to meet the expectations of regulators, rating agencies
and policyholders, and to provide shareholders with an appropriate risk-adjusted
return. Chubb uses internal and external data together with sophisticated
analytical, catastrophe loss and risk modeling techniques to ensure an
appropriate understanding of risk, including diversification and correlation
effects, across different product lines and territories. The table below
presents our modeled pre-tax estimates of natural catastrophe PML, net of
reinsurance, at June 30, 2022 , and does not represent our expected catastrophe
losses for any one year.

The PML for worldwide and keyU.S. peril regions are based on our in-force portfolio atApril 1, 2022 , and reflect theApril 1, 2022 , reinsurance program (see Global Property Catastrophe Reinsurance Program section) as well as inuring reinsurance protection coverages. These estimates assume that reinsurance recoverable is fully collectible. According to the model, for the 1-in-100 return period scenario, there is a one percent chance that our pre-tax annual aggregate losses incurred in any year fromU.S. hurricane events could be in excess of$2,916 million (or 5.6 percent of our total shareholders' equity atJune 30, 2022 ). EffectiveDecember 31, 2021 , our worldwide PMLs include losses fromU.S. wildfire andU.S. inland flood. The above estimates of Chubb's loss profile are inherently uncertain for many reasons, including the following: •While the use of third-party modeling packages to simulate potential catastrophe losses is prevalent within the insurance industry, the models are reliant upon significant meteorology, seismology, and engineering assumptions to estimate catastrophe losses. In particular, modeled catastrophe events are not always a representation of actual events and ensuing additional loss potential; •There is no universal standard in the preparation of insured data for use in the models, the running of the modeling software and interpretation of loss output. These loss estimates do not represent our potential maximum exposures and it is highly likely that our actual incurred losses would vary materially from the modeled estimates; •The potential effects of climate change add to modeling complexity; and •Changing climate conditions could impact our exposure to natural catastrophe risks. Published studies by leading government, academic and professional organizations combined with extensive research by Chubb climate scientists reveal the potential for increases in the frequency and severity of key natural perils such as tropical cyclones, inland flood, and wildfire. To understand the potential impacts on the Chubb portfolio, we have conducted stress tests on our peak exposure zone, namely in theU.S. , using parameters outlined by theIntergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Climate Change 2021 report. These parameters consider the impacts of climate change and the resulting climate peril impacts over a timescale relevant to our business. The tests are conducted by adjusting our baseline view of risk for the perils of hurricane, inland flood, and wildfire in theU.S. to reflect increases in frequency and severity across the modeled domains for each of these perils. Based on these tests against the Chubb portfolio we do not expect material impacts to our baseline PMLs from climate change throughDecember 31, 2022 . These tests reflect current exposures only and exclude potentially mitigating factors such as changes to building codes, public or private risk mitigation, regulation and public policy.

catastrophes.

Global Property Catastrophe Reinsurance Program
Chubb's core property catastrophe reinsurance program provides protection
against natural catastrophes impacting its primary property operations (i.e.,
excluding our
We regularly review our reinsurance protection and corresponding property catastrophe exposures. This may or may not lead to the purchase of additional reinsurance prior to a program's renewal date. In addition, prior to each renewal date, we consider how much, if any, coverage we intend to buy and we may make material changes to the current structure in light of various factors, including modeled PML assessment at various return periods, reinsurance pricing, our risk tolerance and exposures, and various other structuring considerations. Chubb renewed its Global Property Catastrophe Reinsurance Program for our North American and International operations effectiveApril 1, 2022 , throughMarch 31, 2023 , with no material changes in coverage from the expiring program. The program consists of three layers in excess of losses retained by Chubb on a per occurrence basis. In addition, Chubb renewed its terrorism coverage (excluding nuclear, biological, chemical and radiation coverage, with an inclusion of coverage for biological and chemical coverage for personal lines) forthe United States fromApril 1, 2022 , throughMarch 31, 2023 with the same limits and retention and percentage placed except that the majority of terrorism coverage is on an aggregate basis above our retentions without a reinstatement. Loss Location Layer of Loss Comments Notes United States$0 million - Losses retained by Chubb (a) (excluding Alaska and Hawaii)$1.0 billion United States$1.0 billion - All natural perils and terrorism (b) (excluding Alaska and Hawaii)$1.15 billion United States$1.15 billion - All natural perils and terrorism (c) (excluding Alaska and Hawaii)$2.25 billion United States$2.25 billion - All natural perils and terrorism (d) (excluding Alaska and Hawaii)$3.5 billion International$0 million - Losses retained by Chubb (a) (including Alaska and Hawaii)$175 million International$175 million - All natural perils and terrorism (c) (including Alaska and Hawaii)$1.275 billion Alaska, Hawaii, and Canada$1.275 billion - All natural perils and terrorism (d)$2.525 billion (a) Ultimate retention will depend upon the nature of the loss and the interplay between the underlying per risk programs and certain other catastrophe programs purchased by individual business units. These other catastrophe programs have the potential to reduce our effective retention below the stated levels.

Liquidity
We anticipate that positive cash flows from operations (underwriting activities
and investment income) should be sufficient to cover cash outflows under most
loss scenarios for the near term. In addition to cash from operations, routine
sales of investments, and financing arrangements, we have agreements with a
third-party bank provider which implemented two international multi-currency
notional cash pooling programs to enhance cash management efficiency during
periods of short-term timing mismatches between expected inflows and outflows of
cash by currency. The programs allow us to optimize investment income by
avoiding portfolio disruption. Should the need arise, we generally have access
to capital markets and to credit facilities with letter of credit capacity of
$3.7 billion with a sub-limit of $2.0 billion for revolving credit. At June 30,
2022 , our usage under these facilities was $1.3 billion in letters of credit.
Our access to credit under these facilities is dependent on the ability of the
banks that are a party to the facilities to meet their funding commitments. The
facilities require that we maintain certain financial covenants, all of which we
met at June 30, 2022 . Should the existing credit providers on these facilities
experience financial difficulty, we may be required to replace credit sources,
possibly in a difficult market. If we cannot obtain adequate capital or sources
of credit on favorable terms, on a timely basis, or at all, our business,
operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected. To date,
we have not experienced difficulty accessing our credit facilities.
The payment of dividends or other statutorily permissible distributions from our
operating companies are subject to the laws and regulations applicable to each
jurisdiction, as well as the need to maintain capital levels adequate to support
the insurance and reinsurance operations, including financial strength ratings
issued by independent rating agencies. During the six months ended June 30,
2022 , we were able to meet all our obligations, including the payments of
dividends on our Common Shares, with our net cash flows.
We assess which subsidiaries to draw dividends from based on a number of
factors. Considerations such as regulatory and legal restrictions as well as the
subsidiary's financial condition are paramount to the dividend decision. Chubb
Limited received dividends of $5.8 billion and $1.8 billion from its Bermuda
subsidiaries during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Chubb Limited received cash dividends of nil and $21 million and non-cash
dividends of nil and $536 million from a Swiss subsidiary during the six months
ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The U.S. insurance subsidiaries of Chubb INA Holdings Inc. (Chubb INA ) may pay
dividends, without prior regulatory approval, subject to restrictions set out in
state law of the subsidiary's domicile (or, if applicable, commercial domicile).
Chubb INA's international subsidiaries are also subject to insurance laws and
regulations particular to the countries in which the subsidiaries operate. These
laws and regulations sometimes include restrictions that limit the amount of
dividends payable without prior approval of regulatory insurance authorities.
Chubb Limited received no dividends from Chubb INA during the six months ended
June 30, 2022 and 2021. Debt issued by Chubb INA is serviced by statutorily
permissible distributions by Chubb INA's insurance subsidiaries to Chubb INA as
well as other group resources. Chubb INA received $1.8 billion and $470 million
from its subsidiaries during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021,
respectively.
Cash Flows
Our sources of liquidity include cash from operations, routine sales of
investments, and financing arrangements. The following is a discussion of our
cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
Operating cash flows were
2022
Cash from (used for) investing was$1.1 billion in the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , compared to$(2.0) billion in the prior period, an increase of$3.1 billion . Cash from investing in the current period included higher net sales of fixed maturities and equity securities of$3.7 billion , partially offset by higher private equity contributions, net of distributions received, of$606 million . In addition, cash used related to acquisitions ofHuatai Group ownership interest was$113 million in 2022 compared to$65 million in 2021. Cash used for financing was$0.7 billion in the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , compared to$3.0 billion in the prior year period. This decrease of$2.3 billion was the result of an additional$2.0 billion in repurchase agreements which Chubb entered into during the second quarter of 2022 to finance a portion of the acquisition of Cigna's A&H and life business in sixAsia-Pacific markets. Chubb uses repurchase agreements as a low-cost funding alternative. AtJune 30, 2022 , there were$3.4 billion in repurchase agreements outstanding with various maturities over the next six months.

Both internal and external forces influence our financial condition, results of
operations, and cash flows. Claim settlements, premium levels, and investment
returns may be impacted by changing rates of inflation and other economic
conditions. In many cases, significant periods of time, ranging up to several
years or more, may lapse between the occurrence of an insured loss, the
reporting of the loss to us, and the settlement of the liability for that loss.
Capital Resources
Capital resources consist of funds deployed or available to be deployed to
support our business operations.

(in millions of U.S. dollars, except for ratios) 2022 2021
Short-term debt $ 1,474 $ 999

Ratio of financial debt plus trust preferred securities to total

The ratios of financial debt to total capitalization in the table above are
higher at
shareholders' equity, principally reflecting net unrealized depreciation on
investments in the current period compared to net unrealized appreciation in
2021.
Repurchase agreements are excluded from the table above and are disclosed separately from short-term debt in the Consolidated balance sheets. The repurchase agreements are collateralized borrowings where we maintain the right and ability to redeem the collateral on short notice, unlike short-term debt which comprises the current maturities of our long-term debt instruments. For the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , we repurchased$2.1 billion of Common Shares in a series of open market transactions under the Board of Directors (Board) share repurchase authorization. AtJune 30, 2022 , there were 41,081,627 Common Shares in treasury with a weighted-average cost of$165.36 per share, and$2.5 billion in share repurchase authorization remained throughJune 30, 2023 . For the periodJuly 1, 2022 throughJuly 28, 2022 , we repurchased 1,513,728 Common Shares for a total of$281 million in a series of open market transactions. AtJuly 28, 2022 ,$2.2 billion in share repurchase authorization remained. We generally maintain the ability to issue certain classes of debt and equity securities via aSecurities and Exchange Commission (SEC) shelf registration statement which is renewed every three years. This allows us capital market access for refinancing as well as for unforeseen or opportunistic capital needs.
Dividends
We have paid dividends each quarter since we became a public company in 1993. Under Swiss law, dividends must be stated in Swiss francs though dividend payments are made by Chubb inU.S. dollars. Refer to Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of our dividend methodology. At ourMay 2022 annual general meeting, our shareholders approved an annual dividend for the following year of up to$3.32 per share, orCHF 3.22 per share, calculated using the USD/CHF exchange rate as published in theWall Street Journal onMay 19, 2022 , expected to be paid in four quarterly installments of$0.83 per share after the general meeting by way of a distribution from capital contribution reserves, transferred to free reserves for payment. The Board determines the record and payment dates at which the annual dividend may be paid until the date of the 2023 annual general meeting, and is authorized to abstain from distributing a dividend at its discretion. The annual dividend approved inMay 2022 represented a$0.12 per share increase ($0.03 per quarter) over the prior year dividend. 73
