Financial Highlights for the Three Months Ended
•Net income was$812 million compared with$1.8 billion in the prior year period. Net income in the current quarter was driven by strong underwriting results, including growth in net premiums earned and improvement in our combined ratios. Net income is lower compared to prior year, reflecting the after-tax mark-to-market losses on private equities of$231 million , compared to gains of$705 million in the prior year. •Consolidated net premiums written were$12.0 billion , up 14.4 percent, or 17.3 percent in constant dollars. The acquisition of Cigna's business inAsia added 7.1 percentage points, or 7.2 percentage points in constant dollars, to the growth in net premiums written. •Consolidated net premiums earned were$11.5 billion , up 15.3 percent, or 18.6 percent in constant dollars. The acquisition of Cigna's business inAsia added 7.3 percentage points, or 7.5 percentage points in constant dollars, to the growth in net premiums earned. •Total pre-tax and after-tax catastrophe losses were$1.2 billion (11.3 percentage points of the P&C combined ratio) and$949 million , respectively, compared with$1.1 billion (12.2 percentage points of the P&C combined ratio) and$943 million , respectively, in the prior year period. Catastrophe losses in the current quarter were primarily from Hurricane Ian losses of$975 million pre-tax and global weather-related events. •Total pre-tax and after-tax favorable prior period development were$222 million (2.2 percentage points of the P&C combined ratio) and$162 million , respectively, including pre-tax adverse development of$52 million related to legacy environmental exposures. Excluding the adverse development, we had pre-tax favorable development of$274 million , with 5 percent in long-tail lines, and 95 percent in short-tail lines.

•The P&C combined ratio was 93.1 percent compared with 93.4 percent in the prior year period. The P&C current accident year (CAY) combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses was 84.0 percent compared with 84.8 percent in the prior year period. The current year ratios decreased due to 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

•Shareholders' equity decreased by$4.0 billion in the quarter, as net income of$812 million was more than offset by net unrealized losses on investments of$2.9 billion after-tax from rising interest rates and$1.0 billion related to cumulative foreign exchange translation. In addition, shareholders' equity reflected total capital returned to shareholders in the quarter of$1.0 billion , including share repurchases of$685 million , at an average purchase price of$186.22 per share, and dividends of$346 million .

The year-to-date increase reflects growth across most regions from strong new business and retention, and rate increases. •Surety increased due to strong new business inNorth America . •Commercial multiple peril increased due to strong new business and renewal retention, including exposure and positive rate increases inNorth America . •Property and other short-tail lines grew globally due to strong new business and renewal retention, including positive rate increases and increased exposure. •Agriculture increased due to underlying growth in crop insurance, reflecting higher commodity prices, higher reported acreage from policyholders, and policy count growth. Partially offsetting growth for the nine 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 increased due to the acquisition of Cigna's business inAsia in the third quarter of 2022, which contributed$593 million . Additionally, growth inAsia ,Latin America ,Europe , andJapan on a constant dollar basis, was driven by higher new business and increased travel volume and consumer activity. OurNorth American Combined Insurance supplemental A&H business decreased primarily due to the non-renewal of a large program. •Reinsurance lines increased for the quarter primarily due to higher catastrophe reinstatement premiums. Growth for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , was driven by new business and favorable premium adjustments; partially offset by a one-time portfolio transfer in the prior year. •International life operations increased due to the acquisition of Cigna's business inAsia in the third quarter of 2022, which contributed$145 million . Growth from new business inAsia , primarily inThailand ,Indonesia andVietnam , was more than offset by lower business inLatin America , principally reflecting the non-renewal of certain large account business inChile . For additional information on net premiums written, refer to the segment results discussions. 48
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 endedSeptember 30, 2022 , net premiums earned increased$1,535 million , or 15.3 percent. For the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , net premiums earned increased$2,804 million , or 10.4 percent.
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$25 million or more in insured losses and affects a significant number of insureds. For events outside of theU.S. andCanada , we generally use a similar definition. We also define losses from certain pandemics, such as COVID-19, as a catastrophe loss. Prior period development includes adjustments relating to either profit commission reserves or policyholder dividend reserves based on actual claim experience that develops after the policy period ends. The expense adjustments correlate to the prior period loss development on these same policies. Refer to the Non-GAAP Reconciliation section for further information on reinstatement premiums on catastrophe losses and adjustments to prior period development. Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30 September 30 (in millions of U.S. dollars) 2022 2021 2022 2021 Catastrophe losses$ 1,158 $ 1,146 $ 1,782 $ 2,126 Favorable prior period development$ 222 $ 321 $

Catastrophe losses throughSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, were primarily from the following events: •2022: Hurricane Ian losses of$975 million , severe weather-related events in theU.S. and internationally,Australia storms, andColorado wildfires. •2021: Hurricane Ida losses of$806 million , winter storm losses in theU.S. , flooding inEurope , 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 endedSeptember 30, 2022 , was$222 million , including adverse development of$52 million related to legacy environmental exposures. Excluding the adverse development, we had favorable development of$274 million , with 5 percent in long-tail lines, principally from accident years 2018 and prior, and 95 percent in short-tail lines, primarily in property lines. Pre-tax net favorable PPD for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , was$709 million , including adverse development of$155 million for molestation claims, predominantly reviver statute-related, and adverse development of$52 million related to legacy environmental exposures. The 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$916 million with 29 percent in long-tail lines, principally from accident years 2018 and prior, and 71 percent in short-tail lines, primarily in property and A&H lines. Pre-tax net favorable PPD for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , was$321 million , including adverse development of$33 million related to legacy environmental exposures. Excluding the adverse development, we had favorable development of$354 million with 30 percent in long-tail lines, principally from accident years 2017 and prior, and 70 percent in short-tail lines, primarily in homeowners and property lines. Pre-tax net favorable PPD for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , was$781 million , including adverse development of$33 million related to legacy environmental exposures and$68 million for molestation claims. Excluding the adverse development, we had favorable development of$882 million with 27 percent in long-tail lines, principally from accident years 2017 and prior, and 73 percent in short-tail lines, primarily in homeowners, A&H, property, and surety lines. 49

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 increased for the three months ended September 30, 2022 , reflecting the
impact of a current accident year benefit recorded in the prior year partially
offset by earned rate exceeding loss cost trends. The loss and loss expense
ratio and the CAY loss ratio excluding catastrophe losses decreased for the nine
months ended September 30, 2022 , primarily from earned rate exceeding loss cost
trends. The loss and loss expense ratio for the nine months ended September 30,
2022 , also benefited from higher net premiums earned and lower catastrophe
losses, partially offset by lower favorable prior period development.
The policy acquisition cost ratio decreased for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2022 , primarily due to a higher percentage of net premiums earned
from lines that have a lower acquisition cost ratio.
The administrative expense ratio decreased for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2022 , primarily due to the favorable impact of higher net premiums
earned, partially offset by higher employee-related expenses and increased
investment to support growth.
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 September 30, 2022 and 2021, Policy benefits were
$486 million and $151 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 $(67) million and $(24) 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 $553 million and
$175 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021,
respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, Policy benefits were
$790 million and $503 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 $(116) million and $(5) 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 $906 million and
$508 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021,
respectively.

Premiums
Net premiums written increased$308 million , or 21.8 percent for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , primarily due to an increase inMPCI , primarily reflecting higher commodity prices, higher reported acreage from policyholders, and policy count growth. Net premiums written increased$413 million , or 19.6 percent for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , primarily due to an increase inMPCI reflecting 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 nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , by 7.6 percentage points.
Net premiums earned increased
or 19.3 percent for the three and nine months ended
respectively, reflecting the growth in net premiums written described above.
Combined Ratio The combined ratio for the nine months endedSeptember 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 endedSeptember 30, 2022 , primarily from higher catastrophe losses. The loss and loss expense ratio decreased for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , primarily due to favorable prior period development compared with unfavorable prior period development in the prior year, partially offset by higher catastrophe losses. The CAY loss ratio excluding catastrophe losses was relatively flat for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 . The policy acquisition cost ratio decreased for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , primarily due to the favorable impact of higher net premiums earned fromMPCI . The administrative expense ratio decreased for the three and nine months endedSeptember 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 increased 214.1 percent and 67.9 percent for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , respectively, primarily due to the acquisition of Cigna's business inAsia , which contributed$699 million . In addition, there was growth inAsia from new business, principally inThailand ,Indonesia andVietnam , which was more than offset by lower business inLatin America , principally reflecting non-renewals of certain large account business inChile . Net premiums written in ourNorth American Combined Insurance business declined 8.6 percent and 8.7 percent, for the three and nine months endedSeptember 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 $209 million and $381 million for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2022 , respectively, primarily in Taiwan , reflecting
challenging market conditions for deposit products. Additionally, the prior year
benefited from successful sales campaigns in broker and bank channels in Taiwan .
Partially offsetting the decline is $36 million from deposits collected through
the acquired Cigna businesses in Asia , primarily in Korea .
Life Insurance underwriting income and Segment income
Life Insurance underwriting income increased $176 million and $209 million for
the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2022 , respectively, with $159 million of growth from the
acquisition of Cigna's business in Asia , and lower year-over-year COVID-related
losses. Segment income increased $167 million and $177 million for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2022 , respectively, reflecting the increase in
underwriting income described above.
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 of$23 million and$26 million for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , respectively, principally comprised transfer taxes and employee-related expenses. These 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 12 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$3,045 million and$12,041 million in our investment portfolio for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , respectively, were principally the result of an increase in interest rates. In addition, there were realized losses of$599 million and$1,359 million for the three and nine months endedSeptember 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$76 million for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , reflecting a net gain of$22 million , primarily from a decrease in the fair value of the GLB liabilities due to higher interest rates, partially offset by lower global equity markets and changes made to our valuation model relating to policyholder behavior, and a net realized gain of$54 million related to these other derivative instruments. The variable annuity reinsurance derivative transactions resulted in realized gains of$154 million for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , reflecting a net loss of$86 million , primarily from an increase in the fair value of the GLB liabilities due to lower global equity markets and changes to our valuation model relating to policyholder behavior, partially offset by higher interest rates, and a net realized gain of$240 million related to these other derivative instruments. For the three months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , the variable annuity reinsurance derivative transactions resulted in realized losses of$63 million , reflecting a net loss of$59 million , primarily from an increase in the fair value of the GLB liabilities due to underperformance in certain equity markets, partially offset by an increase in interest rates, and a net realized loss of$4 million related to these other derivatives. For the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , the variable annuity reinsurance derivative transactions resulted in net realized gains of$140 million reflecting a net gain of$252 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$112 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.
63
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents For the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 our ETR was 24.6 percent and 18.6 percent, respectively. This compares to an ETR of 10.7 percent and 12.0 percent for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , respectively. The ETR for each period in 2022 was impacted by the acquisition of Cigna's business inAsia , 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 is influenced by a number of factors including the amounts
and timing of inward and outward cash flows, the level of interest rates, and
changes in overall asset allocation. Net investment income increased 13.1
percent and 2.9 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 ,
respectively, primarily due to higher reinvestment rates on fixed maturities.
For private equities where we own less than three percent, investment income is
included within Net investment income in the table above. For private equities
where we own more than three percent, investment income is included within Other
income (expense) in the Consolidated statements of operations. Excluded from Net
investment income is the mark-to-market movement for private equities, which is

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 September 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 4.5 years and 4.1 years at September 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 $4.4 billion at September 30, 2022 . The following
table shows the fair value and cost/amortized cost, net of valuation allowance,

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. AtSeptember 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 1,763 issuers, with the greatest single exposure being$146 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. Sixteen 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
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 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) During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , we increased environmental net loss reserves for Brandywine managed operations by$52 million . 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 September 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 atJuly 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$2,869 million (or 6.0 percent of our total shareholders' equity atSeptember 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. 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.

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.

Common Shares in a series of open market transactions under the Board of
Directors (Board) share repurchase authorization. At September 30, 2022 , there
were 31,356,130 Common Shares in treasury with a weighted-average cost of
$158.76 per share, and $1.8 billion in share repurchase authorization remained
through June 30, 2023 .
We generally maintain the ability to issue certain classes of debt and equity
securities via a Securities 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 9 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.
The following table represents dividends paid per Common Share to shareholders
of record on each of the following dates:

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 September
30, 2022 , our usage under these facilities was $1.4 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 September 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 nine months endedSeptember 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$6.8 billion and$3.1 billion from itsBermuda subsidiaries during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.Chubb Limited received cash dividends of$32 million and$21 million and non-cash dividends of$348 million and$536 million from a Swiss subsidiary during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. TheU.S. insurance subsidiaries ofChubb 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 fromChubb INA during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021.

Table of Contents Cash used for financing was$2.7 billion in the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , compared to$4.8 billion in the prior year period. This decrease of$2.1 billion reflects lower Common Shares repurchased of$1.2 billion and proceeds of$1.0 billion from repurchase agreements, which were used to finance a portion of the acquisition of Cigna's business inAsia . AtSeptember 30, 2022 , there were$2.4 billion in repurchase agreements outstanding with various maturities over the next four 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.
