NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Chubb Limited and Subsidiaries

1. General

a) Basis of presentation

Chubb Limited is a holding company incorporated in Zurich, Switzerland. Chubb Limited, through its subsidiaries, provides a broad range of insurance and reinsurance products to insureds worldwide. Chubb operates through the following 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. Refer to Note 10 for additional information.

The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of Chubb Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively, Chubb, we, us, or our), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting of normally recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement of the results and financial position for such periods. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions, including internal reinsurance transactions, have been eliminated.

The results of operations and cash flows for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our 2016 Form 10-K.

b) Goodwill

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, Goodwill increased $102 million, reflecting the impact of foreign exchange.

c) Debt

In February 2017, Chubb INA Holdings Inc.’s $500 million of 5.7 percent senior notes matured and were fully paid. In 2017, we reclassified $300 million of the 5.8 percent senior notes (due to mature in March 2018), and $600 million of the 5.75 percent senior notes (due to mature in May 2018) from Long-term debt to Short-term debt in the Consolidated balance sheets.

Effective April 15, 2017, the interest rate on our $1.0 billion of unsecured junior subordinated capital securities converted to a floating rate, equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 2.25 percentage points. Previously, these capital securities carried interest at a rate of 6.375 percent. The current interest rate, at the time of this filing, on these securities is 3.55 percent. The scheduled maturity date for these securities is April 15, 2037.

d) Accounting guidance adopted in 2017

Stock Compensation

Effective January 2017, we prospectively adopted new guidance on stock compensation which requires recognition of the excess tax benefits or deficiencies of share-based compensation awards to employees through net income rather than through additional paid in capital. The calculation of the excess tax benefits or deficiencies is based on the difference between the market value of a stock award at the date of vesting, or at the time of exercise for a stock option, compared to the grant date fair value recognized as compensation expense in the Consolidated statements of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the excess tax benefit recorded to Income tax expense in the Consolidated statement of operations was $5 million and $30 million, respectively. Additionally, the guidance allowed for an election to account for forfeitures related to share-based payments either as they occur or through an estimation method. We elected to retain our current accounting for compensation expense using a forfeiture estimation process.

e) Accounting guidance not yet adopted

Goodwill Impairment

In January 2017, the FASB issued updated guidance on goodwill impairment testing that eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test requiring entities to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill through a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Under the updated guidance, impairment will now be recognized as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value. The standard will be effective for us in the first quarter of 2020 on a prospective basis with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Chubb Limited and Subsidiaries

Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities

In March 2017, the FASB issued guidance on the amortization period for purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. The guidance requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. Under current guidance, premiums generally are amortized over the contracted life of the security. This guidance is effective for us in the first quarter of 2019 on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings. Early adoption is permitted. Securities held at a discount do not require an accounting change. We are in the process of evaluating the effect the updated guidance will have on our financial condition and results of operations.

Refer to the 2016 Form 10-K for information on other accounting guidance not yet adopted.

2. Acquisition

The Chubb Corporation (Chubb Corp)

On January 14, 2016, we completed the acquisition of Chubb Corp, a leading provider of middle-market commercial, specialty, surety, and personal insurance for $29.5 billion, comprising $14.3 billion in cash and $15.2 billion in newly-issued stock. In addition, we assumed outstanding equity awards to employees and directors with an attributed value of $323 million. The total consideration, including the assumption of equity awards, was $29.8 billion. We recognized goodwill of $10.5 billion, attributable to expected growth and profitability, none of which is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Refer to the 2016 Form 10-K for additional information on this acquisition.

The consolidated financial statements include the results of Chubb Corp from the acquisition date.

The following table summarizes the results of the acquired Chubb Corp operations within our 2016 Consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented:

As discussed in Note 3 c), if a credit loss is incurred on an impaired fixed maturity, an OTTI is considered to have occurred and the portion of the impairment not related to credit losses (non-credit OTTI) is recognized in OCI. Included in the “OTTI Recognized in AOCI” columns above are the cumulative amounts of non-credit OTTI recognized in OCI adjusted for subsequent sales, maturities, and redemptions. OTTI recognized in AOCI does not include the impact of subsequent changes in fair value of the related securities. In periods subsequent to a recognition of OTTI in OCI, changes in the fair value of the related fixed maturities are reflected in Net unrealized appreciation on investments in the Consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, $3 million of net unrealized depreciation related to such securities is included in OCI. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, $21 million and $44 million, respectively, of net unrealized appreciation related to such securities is included in OCI. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, AOCI included

cumulative net unrealized appreciation of $7 million and $10 million, respectively, related to securities remaining in the investment portfolio for which a non-credit OTTI was recognized.

Mortgage-backed securities (MBS) issued by U.S. government agencies are combined with all other to be announced mortgage-backed securities (TBAs) held (refer to Note 6 c) (iv)) and are included in the category, “Mortgage-backed securities”. Approximately 81 percent of the total mortgage-backed securities at both June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, are represented by investments in U.S. government agency bonds. The remainder of the mortgage exposure consists of collateralized mortgage obligations and non-government mortgage-backed securities, the majority of which provide a planned structure for principal and interest payments and carry a rating of AAA by the major credit rating agencies.

c) Net realized gains (losses)

In accordance with guidance related to the recognition and presentation of OTTI, when an impairment related to a fixed maturity has occurred, OTTI is required to be recorded in Net income if management has the intent to sell the security or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost. Further, in cases where we do not intend to sell the security and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell the security, we must evaluate the security to determine the portion of the impairment, if any, related to credit losses. If a credit loss is incurred, an OTTI is considered to have occurred and any portion of the OTTI related to credit losses must be reflected in Net income while the

portion of OTTI related to all other factors is recognized in OCI. For fixed maturities held to maturity, OTTI recognized in OCI is accreted from AOCI to the amortized cost of the fixed maturity prospectively over the remaining term of the securities.

Each quarter, securities in an unrealized loss position (impaired securities), including fixed maturities, securities lending collateral, equity securities, and other investments, are reviewed to identify impaired securities to be specifically evaluated for a potential OTTI.

For all non-fixed maturities, OTTI is evaluated based on the following:


•	the amount of time a security has been in a loss position and the magnitude of the loss position;


•	the period in which cost is expected to be recovered, if at all, based on various criteria including economic conditions and other issuer-specific developments; and


•	our ability and intent to hold the security to the expected recovery period.

As a general rule, we also consider that equity securities in an unrealized loss position for twelve consecutive months are other than temporarily impaired. For mutual funds included in equity securities in our Consolidated balance sheets, we employ analysis similar to fixed maturities, when applicable.

Evaluation of potential credit losses related to fixed maturities

We review each fixed maturity in an unrealized loss position to assess whether the security is a candidate for credit loss. Specifically, we consider credit rating, market price, and issuer-specific financial information, among other factors, to assess the likelihood of collection of all principal and interest as contractually due. Securities for which we determine that credit loss is likely are subjected to further analysis to estimate the credit loss recognized in Net income, if any. In general, credit loss recognized in Net income equals the difference between the security’s amortized cost and the net present value of its projected future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate implicit in the debt security. All significant assumptions used in determining credit losses are subject to change as market conditions evolve.

Corporate securities

Projected cash flows for corporate securities (principally senior unsecured bonds) are driven primarily by assumptions regarding probability of default and also the timing and amount of recoveries associated with defaults. Chubb developed projected cash flows for corporate securities using market observable data, issuer-specific information, and credit ratings. We use historical default data by Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s) rating category to calculate a 1-in-100 year probability of default, which results in a default assumption in excess of the historical mean default rate. Consistent with management's approach, Chubb assumed a 32 percent recovery rate (the par value of a defaulted security that will be recovered) across all rating categories rather than using Moody's historical mean recovery rate of 42 percent. We believe that use of a default assumption in excess of the historical mean is conservative in light of current market conditions.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, credit losses recognized in Net income for corporate securities were $1 million and $2 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, credit losses recognized in Net income for corporate securities were $7 million and $24 million, respectively.

Mortgage-backed securities

For mortgage-backed securities, credit impairment is assessed using a cash flow model that estimates the cash flows on the underlying mortgages, using the security-specific collateral and transaction structure. The model estimates cash flows from the underlying mortgage loans and distributes those cash flows to various tranches of securities, considering the transaction structure and any subordination and credit enhancements that exist in that structure. The cash flow model incorporates actual cash flows on the mortgage-backed securities through the current period and then projects the remaining cash flows using a number of assumptions, including default rates, prepayment rates, and loss severity rates (the par value of a defaulted security that will not be recovered) on foreclosed properties.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, there were no credit losses recognized in Net income for mortgage-backed securities.

d) Gross unrealized loss

At June 30, 2017, there were 7,924 fixed maturities out of a total of 30,953 fixed maturities in an unrealized loss position. The largest single unrealized loss in the fixed maturities was $5 million. There were 67 equity securities out of a total of 320 equity securities in an unrealized loss position. The largest single unrealized loss in the equity securities was $1 million. Fixed maturities in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2017, comprised both investment grade and below investment grade securities for which fair value declined primarily due to widening credit spreads since the date of purchase.

e) Restricted assets

Chubb is required to maintain assets on deposit with various regulatory authorities to support its insurance and reinsurance operations. These requirements are generally promulgated in the statutory regulations of the individual jurisdictions. The assets on deposit are available to settle insurance and reinsurance liabilities. Chubb is also required to restrict assets pledged under repurchase agreements, which represent Chubb's agreement to sell securities and repurchase them at a future date for a predetermined price. We also use trust funds in certain large reinsurance transactions where the trust funds are set up for the benefit of the ceding companies and generally take the place of letter of credit (LOC) requirements. We also have investments in segregated portfolios primarily to provide collateral or guarantees for LOC and derivative transactions. Included in restricted assets at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are investments, primarily fixed maturities, totaling $21.2 billion and $20.1 billion, respectively, and cash of $122 million and $103 million, respectively.

4. Fair value measurements

a) Fair value hierarchy

Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities is estimated based on the framework established in the fair value accounting guidance. The 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 and the lowest priority to unobservable data.

The three levels of the hierarchy are as follows:


•	Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;


•	Level 2 – Includes, among other items, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as

interest rates and yield curves, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; and


•	Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable and reflect management’s judgments about assumptions that market participants

would use in pricing an asset or liability.

We categorize financial instruments within the valuation hierarchy at the balance sheet date based upon the lowest level of inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement. Accordingly, transfers between levels within the valuation hierarchy occur when there are significant changes to the inputs, such as increases or decreases in market activity, changes to the availability of current prices, changes to the transparency to underlying inputs, and whether there are significant variances in quoted prices. Transfers in and/or out of any level are assumed to occur at the end of the period.

We use pricing services to obtain fair value measurements for the majority of our investment securities. Based on management’s understanding of the methodologies used, these pricing services only produce an estimate of fair value if there is observable market information that would allow them to make a fair value estimate. Based on our understanding of the market inputs used by the pricing services, all applicable investments have been valued in accordance with GAAP. We do not adjust prices obtained from pricing services. The following is a description of the valuation techniques and inputs used to determine fair values for financial instruments carried at fair value, as well as the general classification of such financial instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Fixed maturities

We use pricing services to estimate fair value measurements for the majority of our fixed maturities. The pricing services use market quotations for fixed maturities that have quoted prices in active markets; such securities are classified within Level 1. For fixed maturities other than U.S. Treasury securities that generally do not trade on a daily basis, the pricing services prepare estimates of fair value measurements using their pricing applications, which include available relevant market information, benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings, and matrix pricing. Additional valuation factors that can be taken into account are nominal spreads, dollar basis, and liquidity adjustments. The pricing services evaluate each asset class based on relevant market and credit information, perceived market movements, and sector news. The market inputs used in the pricing evaluation, listed in the approximate order of priority include: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, reference data, and industry and economic events. The extent of the use of each input is dependent on the asset class and the market conditions. Given the asset class, the priority of the use of inputs may change, or some market inputs may not be relevant. Additionally, fixed maturities valuation is more subjective when markets are less liquid due to the lack of market based inputs (i.e., stale pricing), which may increase the potential that an investment's estimated fair value is not reflective of the price at which an actual transaction would occur. The overwhelming majority of fixed maturities are classified within Level 2 because the most significant inputs used in the pricing techniques are observable. For a small number of fixed maturities, we obtain a single broker quote (typically from a market maker). Due to the disclaimers on the quotes that indicate that the price is indicative only, we include these fair value estimates in Level 3.

Equity securities

Equity securities with active markets are classified within Level 1 as fair values are based on quoted market prices. For equity securities in markets which are less active, fair values are based on market valuations and are classified within Level 2. Equity securities for which pricing is unobservable are classified within Level 3.

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – continued (Unaudited)

Chubb Limited and Subsidiaries

Short-term investments

Short-term investments, which comprise securities due to mature within one year of the date of purchase that are traded in active markets, are classified within Level 1 as fair values are based on quoted market prices. Securities such as commercial paper and discount notes are classified within Level 2 because these securities are typically not actively traded due to their approaching maturity and, as such, their cost approximates fair value. Short-term investments for which pricing is unobservable are classified within Level 3.

Other investments

Fair values for the majority of Other investments including investments in partially-owned investment companies, investment funds, and limited partnerships are based on their respective net asset values or equivalent (NAV) and are excluded from the fair value hierarchy table below. Certain of our long-duration contracts are supported by assets that do not qualify for separate account reporting under GAAP. These assets comprise mutual funds classified within Level 1 in the valuation hierarchy on the same basis as other equity securities traded in active markets. Other investments also include equity securities classified within Level 1, and fixed maturities, classified within Level 2, held in rabbi trusts maintained by Chubb for deferred compensation plans and are classified within the valuation hierarchy on the same basis as other equity securities and fixed maturities. Other investments for which pricing is unobservable are classified within Level 3.

Securities lending collateral

The underlying assets included in Securities lending collateral in the Consolidated balance sheets are fixed maturities which are classified in the valuation hierarchy on the same basis as other fixed maturities. Excluded from the valuation hierarchy is the corresponding liability related to Chubb’s obligation to return the collateral plus interest as it is reported at contract value and not fair value in the Consolidated balance sheets.

Investment derivative instruments

Actively traded investment derivative instruments, including futures, options, and forward contracts are classified within Level 1 as fair values are based on quoted market prices. The fair value of cross-currency swaps is based on market valuations and is classified within Level 2. Investment derivative instruments are recorded in either Other assets or Accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities in the Consolidated balance sheets.

Other derivative instruments

We generally maintain positions in other derivative instruments including exchange-traded equity futures contracts designed to limit exposure to a severe equity market decline, which would cause an increase in expected claims and, therefore, an increase in reserves for our guaranteed minimum death benefits (GMDB) and guaranteed living benefits (GLB) reinsurance business. Our position in exchange-traded equity futures contracts is classified within Level 1. The fair value of the majority of the remaining positions in other derivative instruments is based on significant observable inputs including equity security and interest rate indices. Accordingly, these are classified within Level 2. Other derivative instruments based on unobservable inputs are classified within Level 3. Other derivative instruments are recorded in either Other assets or Accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities in the Consolidated balance sheets.

Separate account assets

Separate account assets represent segregated funds where investment risks are borne by the customers, except to the extent of certain guarantees made by Chubb. Separate account assets comprise mutual funds classified within Level 1 in the valuation hierarchy on the same basis as other equity securities traded in active markets. Separate account assets also include fixed maturities classified within Level 2 because the most significant inputs used in the pricing techniques are observable. Excluded from the valuation hierarchy are the corresponding liabilities as they are reported at contract value and not fair value in the Consolidated balance sheets. Separate account assets are recorded in Other assets in the Consolidated balance sheets.

Guaranteed living benefits

The GLB arises from life reinsurance programs covering living benefit guarantees whereby we assume the risk of guaranteed minimum income benefits (GMIB) and guaranteed minimum accumulation benefits (GMAB) associated with variable annuity contracts. GLB’s are recorded in Accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities and Future policy benefits in the Consolidated balance sheets. For GLB reinsurance, Chubb estimates fair value using an internal valuation model which includes current market information and estimates of policyholder behavior. All of the treaties contain claim limits, which are factored into the valuation model. The fair value depends on a number of factors, including interest rates, equity markets, credit risk, current account value, market volatility, expected annuitization rates and other policyholder behavior, and changes in policyholder mortality.

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – continued (Unaudited)

Chubb Limited and Subsidiaries

The most significant policyholder behavior assumptions include lapse rates and the GMIB annuitization rates. Assumptions regarding lapse rates and GMIB annuitization rates differ by treaty, but the underlying methodologies to determine rates applied to each treaty are comparable.

A lapse rate is the percentage of in-force policies surrendered in a given calendar year. All else equal, as lapse rates increase, ultimate claim payments will decrease.

The GMIB annuitization rate is the percentage of policies for which the policyholder will elect to annuitize using the guaranteed benefit provided under the GMIB. All else equal, as GMIB annuitization rates increase, ultimate claim payments will increase, subject to treaty claim limits.

The effect of changes in key market factors on assumed lapse and annuitization rates reflect emerging trends using data available from cedants. For treaties with limited experience, rates are established in line with data received from other ceding companies adjusted, as appropriate, with industry estimates. The model and related assumptions are regularly re-evaluated by management and enhanced, as appropriate, based upon additional experience obtained related to policyholder behavior and availability of updated information such as market conditions, market participant assumptions, and demographics of in-force annuities. Because of the significant use of unobservable inputs including policyholder behavior, GLB reinsurance is classified within Level 3. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we updated aspects of our valuation model relating to interest rates. This resulted in a decrease to the fair value of GLB liabilities generating a realized gain of approximately $94 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, there were no other material changes to actuarial or behavioral assumptions. For detailed information on our lapse and annuitization rate assumptions, refer to Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2016 Form 10-K.

Chubb Limited and Subsidiaries

Included in all categories in the above table, except for Investment funds, are investments for which Chubb will never have the contractual option to redeem but receives distributions based on the liquidation of the underlying assets. Further, for all categories except for Investment funds, Chubb does not have the ability to sell or transfer the investments without the consent from the general partner of individual funds.



Investment Category:		Consists of investments in private equity funds:
Financial		targeting financial services companies such as financial institutions and insurance services worldwide
Real Assets		targeting investments related to hard physical assets such as real estate, infrastructure and natural resources
Distressed		targeting distressed corporate debt/credit and equity opportunities in the U.S.
Private Credit		targeting privately originated corporate debt investments including senior secured loans and subordinated bonds
Traditional		employing traditional private equity investment strategies such as buyout and growth equity globally
Vintage		made before 2002 and where the funds’ commitment periods had already expired

Investment funds

Chubb’s investment funds employ various investment strategies such as long/short equity and arbitrage/distressed. Included in this category are investments for which Chubb has the option to redeem at agreed upon value as described in each investment fund’s subscription agreement. Depending on the terms of the various subscription agreements, investment fund investments may be redeemed monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. If Chubb wishes to redeem an investment fund investment, it must first determine if the investment fund is still in a lock-up period (a time when Chubb cannot redeem its investment so that the investment fund manager has time to build the portfolio). If the investment fund is no longer in its lock-up period, Chubb must then notify the investment fund manager of its intention to redeem by the notification date prescribed by the subscription agreement. Subsequent to notification, the investment fund can redeem Chubb’s investment within several months of the notification. Notice periods for redemption of the investment funds range between 5 and 120 days. Chubb can redeem its investment funds without consent from the investment fund managers.

Level 3 financial instruments

The fair values of assets and liabilities measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) consist of various inputs and assumptions that management makes when determining fair value. Management analyzes changes in fair value measurements classified within Level 3 by comparing pricing and returns of our investments to benchmarks, including month-over-month movements, investment credit spreads, interest rate movements, and credit quality of securities.

The following table presents the significant unobservable inputs used in the Level 3 liability valuations. Excluded from the table below are inputs used to determine the fair value of Level 3 assets which are based on single broker quotes and contain no quantitative unobservable inputs developed by management.

Chubb Limited and Subsidiaries

The carrying values of cash, other assets, other liabilities, and other financial instruments not included below approximated their fair values.

Investments in partially-owned insurance companies

Fair values for investments in partially-owned insurance companies are based on Chubb’s share of the net assets based on the financial statements provided by those companies and are excluded from the valuation hierarchy tables below.

Short- and long-term debt, repurchase agreements, and trust preferred securities

Where practical, fair values for short-term debt, long-term debt, repurchase agreements, and trust preferred securities are estimated using discounted cash flow calculations based principally on observable inputs including incremental borrowing rates, which reflect Chubb’s credit rating, for similar types of borrowings with maturities consistent with those remaining for the debt being valued.

Prior Period Development

Long-tail lines include lines such as workers' compensation, general liability, and professional liability; while short-tail lines include lines such as most property lines, energy, personal accident, aviation, marine (including associated liability-related exposures) and agriculture. Significant prior period movements by segment, principally driven by reserve reviews completed during each respective period, are discussed in more detail below. The remaining net development for long-tail lines and short-tail business for each segment and Corporate comprises numerous favorable and adverse movements across a number of lines and accident years, none of which is significant individually or in the aggregate.

North America Commercial P&C Insurance

2017

For the three months ended June 30, 2017, net favorable PPD was $131 million, which was the net result of several underlying favorable and adverse movements, driven by the following principal changes:


•	Net favorable development of $101 million in long-tail business, primarily from:

•

Net favorable development of $83 million in our workers’ compensation lines with favorable development of $57 million in the 2016 accident year related to our annual assessment of multi-claimant events including industrial accidents. Consistent with prior years, we reviewed these potential exposures after the close of the accident year to allow for late reporting or identification of significant losses. Favorable development of $40 million in accident years 2015 and prior was principally due to lower than expected loss experience and revision to development patterns used in our loss projection methods for select portfolios; and

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – continued (Unaudited)

Chubb Limited and Subsidiaries


•	Net favorable development of $37 million in our commercial-multi peril (CMP) and monoline general liability lines, driven by favorable paid and reported loss activity relative to prior expectations, principally in accident years 2008 through 2013.


•	Net favorable development of $30 million in short-tail business, primarily from favorable development of $29 million in our commercial property portfolios, driven by lower than expected loss emergence in the 2014 and 2016 accident years.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, net favorable PPD was $310 million, which was the net result of several underlying favorable and adverse movements, driven by the following principal changes:


•	Net favorable development of $200 million in long-tail business, primarily from:


•	Net favorable development of $84 million in our workers’ compensation lines due to the same factors experienced for the three months ended June 30, 2017, as described above;


•	Net favorable development of $74 million in our commercial excess and umbrella portfolios, primarily in accident years 2010 and prior, driven by lower than expected reported loss activity, and an increase in weighting towards experience-based methods;


•	Net favorable development of $37 million in our commercial-multi peril (CMP) and monoline general liability lines, due to the same factors experienced for the three months ended June 30, 2017, as described above; and


•	Net favorable development of $25 million in our professional Errors and Omissions (E&O) portfolios, primarily in the 2012 and 2013 accident years, arising from lower than expected reported loss activity, partially offset by claim-specific adverse development.


•	Net favorable development of $110 million in short-tail business, primarily from:


•	Net favorable development of $45 million in our credit-related business, primarily due to lower than expected claims severity in the 2015 accident year;


•	Favorable development of $33 million in our property lines, primarily in our commercial property portfolios, due to the same factors experienced for the three months ended June 30, 2017 as described above; and


•	Net favorable development of $24 million in our accident & health (A&H) business, primarily due to lower than expected loss emergence in the 2015 and 2016 accident years.

2016

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, net favorable PPD was $168 million, which was the net result of several underlying favorable and adverse movements, driven by the following principal changes:


•	Net favorable development of $167 million in long-tail business, primarily from:

•

Net favorable development of $114 million in our workers’ compensation lines with favorable development of $40 million in the 2015 accident year related to our annual assessment of multi-claimant events including industrial accidents. Consistent with prior years, we reviewed these potential exposures after the close of the accident year to allow for late reporting or identification of significant losses. Favorable development of $59 million driven by accident years 2011 and prior was principally due to lower than expected loss experience and revision to the basis for selecting development patterns used in our loss projection methods. Adverse development in accident years 2012 through 2015 was due to a small number of large claims in our excess business;


•	Net favorable development of $50 million in our commercial-multi peril (CMP) and monoline general liability lines, driven by favorable paid and reported loss activity relative to prior expectations, principally in accident years 2007 through 2014; and

•	Net favorable development of $20 million in our professional E&O portfolios, in the 2003 accident year due to a favorable development on a specific claim.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, net favorable PPD was $346 million, which was the net result of several underlying favorable and adverse movements, driven by the following principal changes:


•	Net favorable development of $309 million in long-tail business, primarily from:


•	Favorable development of $145 million in our commercial excess and umbrella portfolios, driven by continued lower than expected reported loss activity in accident years 2010 and prior; in general, the severity of claims has been less than previously expected;


•	Net favorable development of $114 million on our workers’ compensation lines due to the same factors experienced for the three months ended June 30, 2016, as described above;


•	Favorable development of $63 million in our professional E&O portfolios, primarily impacting the 2012 and prior accident years and arising from both lower than expected reported loss activity and re-assessments of remaining claim-specific liabilities for the older accident years; and


•	Net favorable development of $24 million in our primary casualty and general liability portfolios was driven by $50 million favorable development in our CMP and monoline general liability lines as described above, and $26 million adverse development due to higher than expected reported loss activity, mainly associated with construction defect coverages.


•	Net favorable development of $37 million in short-tail business, primarily from favorable development of $24 million in our surety business, due to favorable claim emergence in the 2013 accident year.

North America Personal P&C Insurance

2017

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, net adverse PPD was $37 million and $34 million, respectively, driven primarily by higher than expected case incurred development in our automobile, recreational marine and homeowners lines, mainly in accident years 2012 through 2016.

2016

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, net favorable PPD was $15 million and $18 million, respectively, which were the net result of several underlying favorable and adverse movements, none of which were significant individually or in the aggregate.

North America Agricultural Insurance

•	Net favorable development of $88 million in short-tail business, primarily from:


•	Favorable development of $37 million in property and marine (excluding technical lines), primarily in accident years 2013 through 2015,driven mainly by favorable U.K. and Continental Europe loss emergence, including favorable claim-specific loss settlements;


•	Favorable development of $26 million in technical and energy lines, primarily from favorable loss emergence in accident years 2014 through 2016 primarily in offshore where experience has been better than expected; and


•	Favorable development of $19 million in A&H lines, primarily from favorable loss emergence in Asia Pacific and Continental Europe in accident years 2014 through 2016.

•	Favorable development of $32 million in energy lines, primarily from a claims review of catastrophe impacts on underwriting years 2004 through 2008, as well as favorable loss emergence in accident years 2010 through 2013, primarily in offshore where experience has been better than expected.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, net favorable PPD was $115 million, due primarily to the same factors experienced for the three months ended June 30, 2016 as described above.

Global Reinsurance

2017

For the three months ended June 30, 2017, net favorable PPD was $31 million, which was the net result of several underlying favorable and adverse movements, driven by the following principal change:


•	Net favorable development of $36 million in our casualty and professional liability lines, primarily impacting treaty years 2011 and prior, principally resulting from lower than expected loss emergence.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, net favorable PPD was $23 million, which was the net result of several underlying favorable and adverse movements driven by the following principal change:


•	Net favorable development of $27 million, comprising $36 million in our casualty and professional liability lines as described above, as well as adverse development of $9 million in our motor and excess liability lines, driven by a change in the discount rate in the U.K. (Ogden rate) primarily impacting the 2015 and prior treaty years.

2016

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, net favorable PPD was $47 million and $50 million, respectively, which were the net result of several underlying favorable and adverse movements, driven by the following principal change:


•	Favorable development of $41 million in casualty lines primarily impacting treaty years 2011 and prior, principally resulting from lower than expected loss emergence.

Corporate

2017

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, adverse development was $43 million and $53 million, respectively, due principally to development of $35 million on run-off non A&E casualty exposures due to higher than expected loss activity, and unallocated loss adjustment expenses due to run-off operating expenses paid and incurred in the respective periods of $8 million and $18 million, respectively.

2016

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, net adverse development was $14 million and $22 million, respectively, due principally to unallocated loss adjustment expenses due to run-off operating expenses paid and incurred in the respective periods.

6. Commitments, contingencies, and guarantees

a) Derivative instruments

Foreign currency management

As a global company, Chubb entities transact business in multiple currencies. Our policy is to generally match assets, liabilities, and required capital for each individual jurisdiction in local currency, which would include the use of derivatives discussed below. We do not hedge our net asset non-U.S. dollar capital positions; however, we do consider hedging for planned cross border transactions.

Derivative instruments employed

Chubb maintains positions in derivative instruments such as futures, options, swaps, and foreign currency forward contracts for which the primary purposes are to manage duration and foreign currency exposure, yield enhancement, or to obtain an exposure to a particular financial market. Chubb also maintains positions in convertible securities that contain embedded derivatives. Investment derivative instruments are recorded in either Other assets (OA) or Accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities (AP), convertible bonds are recorded in Fixed maturities available for sale (FM AFS), and convertible equity securities are recorded in Equity securities (ES) in the Consolidated balance sheets. These are the most numerous and frequent derivative transactions.

In addition, Chubb from time to time purchases to be announced mortgage-backed securities (TBAs) as part of its investing activities.

Under reinsurance programs covering GLBs, Chubb assumes the risk of GLBs, including GMIB and GMAB, associated with variable annuity contracts. The GMIB risk is triggered if, at the time the contract holder elects to convert the accumulated account value to a periodic payment stream (annuitize), the accumulated account value is not sufficient to provide a guaranteed minimum level of monthly income. The GMAB risk is triggered if, at contract maturity, the contract holder’s account value is less than a guaranteed minimum value. The GLB reinsurance product meets the definition of a derivative instrument. Benefit reserves in respect of GLBs are classified as Future policy benefits (FPB) while the fair value derivative adjustment is classified within AP. Chubb also generally maintains positions in exchange-traded equity futures contracts on equity market indices to limit equity exposure in the GMDB and GLB blocks of business.

At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, derivative liabilities of $8 million and $10 million, respectively, included in the table above were subject to a master netting agreement. The remaining derivatives included in the table above were not subject to a master netting agreement.

b) Secured borrowings

Chubb participates in a securities lending program operated by a third-party banking institution whereby certain assets are loaned to qualified borrowers and from which we earn an incremental return. The securities lending collateral can only be drawn down by Chubb in the event that the institution borrowing the securities is in default under the lending agreement. An indemnification agreement with the lending agent protects us in the event a borrower becomes insolvent or fails to return any of the securities on loan. The collateral is recorded in Securities lending collateral and the liability is recorded in Securities lending payable in the Consolidated balance sheets.

Potential risks exist in our secured borrowing transactions due to market conditions and counterparty exposure. With collateral that we pledge, there is a risk that the collateral may not be returned at the expiration of the agreement. If the counterparty fails to return the collateral, Chubb will have free use of the borrowed funds until our collateral is returned. In addition, we may encounter the risk that Chubb may not be able to renew outstanding borrowings with a new term or with an existing counterparty due to market conditions including a decrease in demand as well as more restrictive terms from banks due to increased regulatory and capital constraints. Should this condition occur, Chubb may seek alternative borrowing sources or reduce borrowings. Additionally, increased margins and collateral requirements due to market conditions would increase our restricted assets as we are required to provide additional collateral to support the transaction.

c) Derivative instrument objectives

(i) Foreign currency exposure management

A foreign currency forward contract (forward) is an agreement between participants to exchange specific foreign currencies at a future date. Chubb uses forwards to minimize the effect of fluctuating foreign currencies as discussed above.

(ii) Duration management and market exposure

Futures

Futures contracts give the holder the right and obligation to participate in market movements, determined by the index or underlying security on which the futures contract is based. Settlement is made daily in cash by an amount equal to the change in value of the futures contract times a multiplier that scales the size of the contract. Exchange-traded futures contracts on money market instruments, notes, and bonds are used in fixed maturity portfolios to more efficiently manage duration, as substitutes for ownership of the money market instruments, bonds, and notes without significantly increasing the risk in the portfolio. Investments in futures contracts may be made only to the extent that there are assets under management not otherwise committed.

Exchange-traded equity futures contracts are used to limit exposure to a severe equity market decline, which would cause an increase in expected claims and therefore, an increase in reserves for GMDB and GLB reinsurance business.

Options

An option contract conveys to the holder the right, but not the obligation, to purchase or sell a specified amount or value of an underlying security at a fixed price. Option contracts are used in the investment portfolio as protection against unexpected shifts in interest rates, which would affect the duration of the fixed maturity portfolio. By using options in the portfolio, the overall interest rate sensitivity of the portfolio can be reduced. Option contracts may also be used as an alternative to futures contracts in the synthetic strategy as described above.

The price of an option is influenced by the underlying security, expected volatility, time to expiration, and supply and demand.

The credit risk associated with the above derivative financial instruments relates to the potential for non-performance by counterparties. Although non-performance is not anticipated, in order to minimize the risk of loss, management monitors the creditworthiness of its counterparties and obtains collateral. The performance of exchange-traded instruments is guaranteed by the exchange on which they trade. For non-exchange-traded instruments, the counterparties are principally banks which must meet certain criteria according to our investment guidelines.

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – continued (Unaudited)

Chubb Limited and Subsidiaries

Cross-currency swaps

Cross-currency swaps are agreements under which two counterparties exchange interest payments and principal denominated in different currencies at a future date. We use cross-currency swaps to reduce the foreign currency and interest rate risk by converting cash flows back into local currency. We invest in foreign currency denominated investments to improve credit diversification and also to obtain better duration matching to our liabilities that is limited in the local currency market.

Other

Included within Other are derivatives intended to reduce potential losses which may arise from certain exposures in our insurance business. The economic benefit provided by these derivatives is similar to purchased reinsurance. For example, Chubb may enter into crop derivative contracts to protect underwriting results in the event of a significant decline in commodity prices.

(iii) Convertible security investments

A convertible security is a debt instrument or preferred stock that can be converted into a predetermined amount of the issuer’s equity. The convertible option is an embedded derivative within the host instruments which are classified in the investment portfolio as either available for sale or as an equity security. Chubb purchases convertible securities for their total return and not specifically for the conversion feature.

(iv) TBA

By acquiring TBAs, we make a commitment to purchase a future issuance of mortgage-backed securities. For the period between purchase of the TBAs and issuance of the underlying security, we account for our position as a derivative in the consolidated financial statements. Chubb purchases TBAs both for their total return and for the flexibility they provide related to our mortgage-backed security strategy.

(v) GLB

Under the GLB program, as the assuming entity, Chubb is obligated to provide coverage until the expiration or maturity of the underlying deferred annuity contracts or the expiry of the reinsurance treaty. Premiums received under the reinsurance treaties are classified as premium. Expected losses allocated to premiums received are classified as Future policy benefits and valued similar to GMDB reinsurance. Other changes in fair value, principally arising from changes in expected losses allocated to expected future premiums, are classified as Net realized gains (losses). Fair value represents management’s estimate of an exit price and thus, includes a risk margin. We may recognize a realized loss for other changes in fair value due to adverse changes in the capital markets (e.g., declining interest rates and/or declining equity markets) and changes in actual or estimated future policyholder behavior (e.g., increased annuitization or decreased lapse rates) although we expect the business to be profitable. We believe this presentation provides the most meaningful disclosure of changes in the underlying risk within the GLB reinsurance programs for a given reporting period.

d) Fixed maturities

At June 30, 2017, we have commitments to purchase fixed income securities of $675 million over the next several years.

e) Other investments

At June 30, 2017, included in Other investments in the Consolidated balance sheets are investments in limited partnerships and partially-owned investment companies with a carrying value of $3.5 billion. In connection with these investments, we have commitments that may require funding of up to $1.9 billion over the next several years.

f) Taxation

At June 30, 2017, $15 million of unrecognized tax benefits remain outstanding. It is reasonably possible that over the next twelve months, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may change resulting from the re-evaluation of unrecognized tax benefits arising from examinations of taxing authorities and the closing of tax statute limitations. With few exceptions, Chubb is no longer subject to state and local or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2009.

g) Legal proceedings

Our insurance subsidiaries are subject to claims litigation involving disputed interpretations of policy coverages and, in some jurisdictions, direct actions by allegedly-injured persons seeking damages from policyholders. These lawsuits, involving claims on policies issued by our subsidiaries which are typical to the insurance industry in general and in the normal course of business, are considered in our loss and loss expense reserves. In addition to claims litigation, we are subject to lawsuits and regulatory actions in the normal course of business that do not arise from or directly relate to claims on insurance policies. This category of business litigation typically involves, among other things, allegations of underwriting errors or misconduct,

employment claims, regulatory activity, or disputes arising from our business ventures. In the opinion of management, our ultimate liability for these matters could be, but we believe is not likely to be, material to our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

7. Shareholders’ equity

All of Chubb’s Common Shares are authorized under Swiss corporate law. Though the par value of Common Shares is stated in Swiss francs, Chubb continues to use U.S. dollars as its reporting currency for preparing consolidated financial statements. Under Swiss corporate law, dividends, including distributions through a reduction in par value (par value reduction) or from legal reserves, must be stated in Swiss francs though dividend payments are made by Chubb in U.S. dollars. At June 30, 2017, our Common Shares had a par value of CHF 24.15 per share.

At our May 2016 and 2015 annual general meetings, our shareholders approved an annual dividend for the following year of up to $2.76 per share and $2.68 per share, respectively, which were paid in four quarterly installments of $0.69 per share and $0.67 per share, respectively, at dates determined by the Board of Directors (Board) after the annual general meetings by way of a distribution from capital contribution reserves, transferred to free reserves for payment.

At our May 2017 annual general meeting, our shareholders approved an annual dividend for the following year of up to $2.84 per share, expected to be paid in four quarterly installments of $0.71 per share after the annual general meeting by way of distribution from capital contribution reserves, transferred to free reserves for payment. The Board will determine the record and payment dates at which the annual dividend may be paid until the date of the 2018 annual general meeting, and is authorized to abstain from distributing a dividend at its discretion.

The following table presents dividend distributions per Common Share in Swiss francs (CHF) and U.S. dollars (USD):



	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended

Common Shares in treasury are used principally for issuance upon the exercise of employee stock options, grants of restricted stock, and purchases under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). At June 30, 2017, 14,408,723 Common Shares remain in treasury after net shares redeemed under employee share-based compensation plans.

Chubb Limited securities repurchase authorization

There was no share repurchase program from January 2016 through October 2016. In November 2016, the Board authorized a share repurchase program of $1.0 billion of Chubb's Common Shares through December 31, 2017.

Repurchases of Chubb's Common Shares conducted in a series of open market transactions from January 1, 2017 through August 2, 2017 under the Board authorization are as follows:

8. Share-based compensation

The Chubb Limited 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 2016 LTIP) permits grants of incentive and non-qualified stock options; restricted stock and restricted stock units; and performance-based restricted stock awards. The incentive and non-qualified stock options are granted principally at an option price per share equal to the grant date fair value of Chubb's Common Shares. Stock options are generally granted with a 3-year vesting period and a 10-year term and typically vest in equal annual installments over the vesting period, which is also the requisite service period. On February 23, 2017, Chubb granted 2,065,620 stock options with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $22.97 each estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The service-based restricted stock and restricted stock units are generally granted with a 4-year vesting period, based on a graded vesting schedule.

Performance-based restricted stock awards granted prior to January 2017 comprised target awards which have four installments that vest annually based on tangible book value (shareholders' equity less goodwill and intangible assets, net of tax) per share growth compared to a defined group of peer companies, and premium awards, which are earned only if tangible book value per share growth over the cumulative 4-year period after the grant of the associated target awards exceeds a higher threshold compared to our peer group. The terms of performance-based restricted stock awards granted beginning in January 2017 were updated to now include a 3-year cliff vesting provision in place of the 4-year graded vesting period. In addition, these awards now include an additional vesting criteria based on the P&C combined ratio compared to a defined group of peer companies as well as an additional vesting provision for premium awards based on total shareholder return (TSR) compared to a defined group of peer companies.

Chubb's restricted stock is granted at market close price on the grant date. On February 23, 2017, Chubb granted 1,105,118 service-based restricted stock awards, 326,272 service-based restricted stock units, and 202,251 performance-based stock awards to employees and officers with a grant date fair value of $139.01 each. Each restricted stock unit represents our obligation to deliver to the holder one Common Share upon vesting.

10. Segment information

Chubb operates 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.

Corporate primarily includes loss and loss expenses of asbestos and environmental (A&E) run-off liabilities, and the results of our non-insurance companies including Chubb Limited, Chubb Group Management and Holdings Ltd, and Chubb INA Holdings Inc. Our exposure to A&E claims principally arises out of liabilities acquired when we purchased Westchester Specialty in 1998, CIGNA’s P&C business in 1999, and legacy Chubb Corp run-off business in 2016.

For segment reporting purposes, certain items are presented in a different manner below than in the consolidated financial statements. Management uses underwriting income as the main measures of segment performance. Chubb calculates underwriting income by subtracting Losses and loss expenses, Policy benefits, Policy acquisition costs, and Administrative expenses from Net premiums earned. To calculate segment income, include net investment income, other (income) expense, and amortization of purchased intangibles. For the North America Agricultural Insurance segment, management includes gains and losses on crop derivatives as a component of underwriting income. For example, for the three months ended June 30, 2017, underwriting income in our North America Agricultural Insurance segment was $23 million. This amount includes $2 million of realized losses related to crop derivatives which are reported in Net realized gains (losses) in the Corporate column below.

For the Life Insurance segment, management includes Net investment income and (Gains) losses from fair value changes in separate account assets that do not qualify for separate account reporting under GAAP as components of Life Insurance underwriting income. For example, for the three months ended June 30, 2017, Life Insurance underwriting income of $56 million includes Net investment income of $77 million and gains from fair value changes in separate account assets of $16 million. The gains from fair value changes in separate account assets are reported in Other (income) expense in the table below.

Chubb maintains two notional multicurrency cash pools (Pools) with a third-party bank. Various Chubb entities participate in one or the other of the Pools, pursuant to which credit and debit balances in individual Chubb accounts are translated daily into a single currency and pooled on a notional basis. Individual Chubb entities are permitted to overdraw on their individual accounts provided the overall Pool balances do not fall below zero. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the cash balance of one or more entities was negative; however, the overall Pool balances were positive.

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, 2017, we had total assets of $163 billion and shareholders’ equity of $50 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 2016 Form 10-K.

Financial Highlights for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2017


•	Net income was $1,305 million compared with $726 million in the prior year period.


•	Total company and P&C net premiums written were $7.6 billion and $7.1 billion, respectively, both down 0.8 percent.

•

Since the acquisition of Chubb Corp, we have entered into new reinsurance agreements with third-party reinsurers for certain legacy Chubb Corp business, and have taken other merger-related underwriting actions, including exiting certain types of business that do not meet our underwriting standards or adhere to our risk diversification strategy. Together, these items adversely impacted P&C net premiums written growth by $198 million in the quarter. Excluding these items, P&C net premiums written were up 2.6 percent in constant dollars.

•

P&C combined ratio was 88.0 percent compared with 91.2 percent in the prior year period which included 1.0 percentage point from the unfavorable impact of initial year purchase accounting adjustments related to the Chubb Corp acquisition. The P&C combined ratio in the current year reflects favorable impacts from integration-related savings, post-retirement benefit savings, a favorable release of unallocated claims handling expense reserves and merger-related underwriting actions. These benefits reduced the expense ratio by 1.7 percentage points and the loss and loss expense ratio by 1.0 percentage point. Partially offsetting this decline is an increase in the underlying loss and loss expense ratio.


•	Total incremental integration-related savings recognized in the quarter were $105 million pre-tax. Refer to the Integration-Related Savings section below for additional information on the impact of these savings by income statement line item and segment.


•	Total pre-tax and after-tax catastrophe losses were $200 million (3.0 percentage points of the combined ratio) and $152 million, respectively, compared with $390 million (5.7 percentage points of the combined ratio) and $311 million, respectively, last year.


•	Total pre-tax and after-tax favorable prior period development was $170 million (2.5 percentage points of the combined ratio) and $144 million, respectively, compared with $301 million (4.4 percentage points of the combined ratio) and $241 million, respectively, last year.


•	Net investment income was $770 million compared with $708 million in the prior year period. Excluding the amortization of the fair value adjustment on acquired invested assets of Chubb Corp, net investment income was $855 million, compared with $816 million, up 4.8 percent.


•	Share repurchases totaled $335 million, or approximately 2.4 million shares, during the quarter.

Table of Contents

Operationally and financially, we believe all areas of integration are on track or ahead of schedule. As indicated in the table below, we have now increased the total annualized run-rate savings we expect to achieve by the end of 2018 to $875 million, up from our prior estimate of $800 million. Integration and merger-related expenses are now estimated to be $903 million, up from $809 million and have increased primarily related to the realization of increases in our savings projections.

⁽¹⁾ Realized savings are the portion that is recorded in the financial statements in the current period. Annualized savings are the run rate of savings for the full year. The difference between annualized savings and realized savings reflects the additional amount that will be realized in future periods. The timing of realized savings is dependent upon the period in which the action is executed.

⁽²⁾ Integration expenses related to savings are one-time costs that are directly attributable to the achievement of the annualized savings, including employee severance, third-party consulting fees, and systems integration expenses. Other merger-related expenses are one-time costs directly attributable to the merger, including rebranding, employee retention costs and other professional and legal fees related to the acquisition.

The anticipated integration-related savings and integration and merger-related expenses may not be realized fully, or may take longer to realize than expected or could have other adverse effects that we do not currently foresee. Some of the assumptions that we have made, such as the achievement of operating synergies, may not be realized. Refer to the Risk Factors under Part II, Item 1A on page 85 for additional information.

On a constant-dollar basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, net premiums written decreased $17 million, or 0.2 percent, and increased $721 million, or 5.3 percent, respectively, and net premiums earned decreased $131 million and increased $45 million, respectively. Amounts are calculated by translating prior period results using the same local currency exchange rates as the comparable current period.

Net Premiums Written

Net premiums written reflect the premiums we retain after purchasing reinsurance protection. Consolidated net premiums written decreased $58 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, as growth in the quarter was more than offset by merger-related underwriting actions ($206 million). For the six months ended June 30, 2017, net premiums written increased $657 million due to the timing of the Chubb Corp acquisition in the prior year, which excluded approximately $855 million of production generated prior to the Chubb Corp acquisition close on January 14, 2016 (14-day stub period). On a comparative basis, which includes the 14-day stub period, net premiums written decreased $198 million as growth was more than offset by merger-related underwriting actions ($409 million). Merger-related underwriting actions include the cancellation of certain portfolios or lines of business that do not meet our underwriting standards and the purchase of additional reinsurance. Excluding these items, net premiums written increased $189 million, or 2.5 percent, and $275 million, or 1.9 percent, on a constant-dollar basis, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

•

Net premiums written in our North America Commercial P&C Insurance segment decreased $41 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 primarily due to merger-related underwriting actions ($84 million). Excluding these actions, net premiums written increased $43 million as growth in our Major Accounts Risk Management and Wholesale businesses was offset by declines in our property, casualty and select components of our financial lines businesses due to competitive market conditions. Net premiums written increased $399 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 primarily reflecting the 14-day stub period ($519 million). On a comparative basis, which includes the 14-day stub period, net premiums written declined $120 million driven by merger-related underwriting actions ($168 million). Excluding these items, net premiums written increased $48 million, or 0.8 percent, due to the same factors driving the increase in the quarter as described above.

Table of Contents

•

Net premiums written in our North America Personal P&C Insurance segment increased $24 million and $137 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, reflecting growth across most lines. In addition, the increase in net premiums written for the six months ended June 30, 2017 reflected the favorable impact of the 14-day stub period ($100 million). Offsetting this growth were merger-related underwriting actions of $75 million and $126 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. Excluding these items, net premiums written increased $99 million and $163 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, reflecting growth across most lines, primarily in homeowners and complementary products such as automobiles and valuables. Additionally, the non-renewal of a quota share treaty ($46 million) and a one-time favorable impact from the change in timing of premium registration favorably impacted growth in the quarter and year-to-date periods.


•	Net premiums written in our North America Agricultural Insurance segment increased $28 million and $25 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, primarily due to higher commodity base prices in our 2017 policy pricing and growth in our Chubb Agribusiness unit driven by new business written and strong retention.

•

Net premiums written in our Overseas General Insurance segment decreased $25 million or increased $7 million on a constant-dollar basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2017, as growth in personal lines business and property and casualty (P&C) lines were offset by merger-related underwriting actions ($39 million). Net premiums written increased $134 million, or $196 million on a constant-dollar basis, for the six months ended June 30, 2017, primarily reflecting the 14-day stub period ($215 million). On a comparative constant-dollar basis, which includes the 14-day stub period, net premiums written declined $19 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 reflecting merger-related underwriting actions ($81 million) and the impact of a merger-related accounting policy adjustment in the fourth quarter of 2016 to align the timing of premium recognition ($73 million). Excluding these items, net premiums written increased $135 million on a constant-dollar basis, due to growth in personal lines and P&C lines.


•	Net premiums written in our Global Reinsurance segment decreased $40 million and $42 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, as we maintained underwriting discipline in an environment of declining rates and increasing competition.

•

Net premiums written in our Life Insurance segment decreased $4 million and increased $4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. For the quarter, growth in our Combined Insurance supplemental A&H program business and our Asian international life operations was more than offset by merger-related underwriting actions ($8 million). For the six months ended June 30, 2017, growth in these businesses more than offset the declines related to merger-related underwriting actions ($24 million). Both periods were adversely impacted by our life reinsurance business, which continues to decline as no new business is currently being written.

Net Premiums Earned

Net premiums earned for short-duration contracts, typically P&C contracts, generally reflect the portion of net premiums written that were 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. Net premiums earned decreased $168 million, or $131 million on a constant-dollar basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2017 due to the same factors driving the decline in net premiums written as described above.

Net premiums earned increased $7 million, or $45 million on a constant-dollar basis, for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The prior year excluded approximately $391 million of premiums earned in the 14-day stub period. On a comparative constant-dollar basis, which includes the 14-day stub period, net premiums earned decreased $346 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 due to the same factors driving the decline in net premiums written, as described above.

Combined Ratio

In evaluating our segments excluding Life Insurance, we use the P&C combined ratio, the loss and loss expense ratio, the policy acquisition cost ratio, and the administrative expense ratio. We calculate these ratios by dividing the respective expense amounts by net premiums earned. We do not calculate these ratios for the Life Insurance segment as we do not use these measures to monitor or manage that segment. The P&C combined ratio is determined by adding the loss and loss expense ratio, the policy acquisition cost ratio, and the administrative expense ratio. A P&C combined ratio under 100 percent indicates underwriting income, and a combined ratio exceeding 100 percent indicates underwriting loss.

The following table presents the components of the combined ratio:



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30				June 30
	2017		2016		2017		2016
Loss and loss expense ratio	59.0	%	59.6	%	58.2	%	58.5	%
Policy acquisition cost ratio	19.6	%	20.6	%	20.0	%	20.9	%
Administrative expense ratio	9.4	%	11.0	%	9.6	%	11.2	%
Combined Ratio	88.0	%	91.2	%	87.8	%	90.6	%

The following table presents pre-tax catastrophe losses and pre-tax favorable prior period development net of related reinstatement premiums:



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30				June 30
(in millions of U.S dollars)	2017		2016		2017		2016
Catastrophe losses, pre-tax	$	200	$	396	$	406	$	654
Favorable prior period development net of related reinstatement premiums, pre-tax	$	170	$	301	$	401	$	548

Catastrophe losses through June 30, 2017 and 2016 were primarily from the following events:


•	2017: severe weather-related events in the U.S., Cyclone Debbie in Australia and flooding in Latin America


•	2016: severe weather-related events in the U.S. and Europe, a wildfire in Canada, and an earthquake in Ecuador

Prior period development 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. Favorable prior period development included a charge of $41 million in the first quarter of 2017, reflecting the change in the discount rate in the U.K. (Ogden rate). Refer to Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

The following table presents the impact of catastrophe losses and prior period reserve development net of related reinstatement premiums on our consolidated loss and loss expense ratio. The loss ratio numerator includes losses and loss expenses adjusted to exclude catastrophe losses and PPD. The loss ratio denominator includes net premiums earned adjusted to exclude the amount of reinstatement premiums (expensed) collected. In periods where there are adjustments on loss sensitive policies, these adjustments are excluded from PPD and net premiums earned when calculating this ratio. We believe that excluding the impact of catastrophe losses and PPD provides a better evaluation of our underwriting performance and enhances the understanding of the trends in our property & casualty business that may be obscured by these items.

Table of Contents

The adjusted loss and loss expense ratio increased 0.2 percentage points and 0.5 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, primarily due to mix of business in our Major Accounts book, driven by growth in casualty lines which have a higher loss ratio and declines in property lines which have a lower loss ratio, in our North America Commercial P&C Insurance segment (0.5 percentage points for both periods) and an updated allocation that more appropriately classified certain claims-related expenses as loss adjustment expenses (previously reported as administrative expenses). This updated allocation increased loss adjustment expenses (0.4 percentage points for both periods), with an offsetting decrease to administrative expenses. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was also due to higher non-catastrophe large losses in our North America Personal P&C Insurance segment (0.3 percentage points). These increases were partially offset by favorable claims handling expense adjustments in our North America Commercial P&C Insurance segment (0.4 percentage points and 0.2 percentage points, respectively), and integration-related claims handling expense savings realized of $26 million (0.4 percentage points) and $54 million (0.4 percentage points) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

Policy acquisition costs consist of commissions, premium taxes, and certain underwriting costs directly related to the successful acquisition of a new or renewal insurance contract. Our policy acquisition cost ratio decreased 1.0 percentage point and 0.9 percentage points, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the prior year periods, which included a net unfavorable impact of purchase accounting adjustments related to the Chubb Corp acquisition (0.9 percentage points for both periods). The decrease for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was also due to integration-related expense savings realized (0.2 percentage points for both periods). This decrease was partially offset by a change in the mix of business in our Overseas General Insurance segment towards more A&H and personal lines products and regions which have higher acquisition cost ratios and a lower loss ratios (0.1 percentage point and 0.2 percentage points, respectively).

Our administrative expense ratio decreased 1.6 percentage points for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, primarily due to integration-related expense savings realized as a result of the Chubb Corp acquisition of $68 million (1.0 percentage point) and $150 million (1.2 percentage points), respectively, lower employee benefit-related expenses (0.6 percentage points and 0.7 percentage points, respectively), and the updated loss expenses and administrative expenses allocation as noted above (0.4 percentage points for both periods), partially offset by the impact of merit-based salary increases, inflation, and increased spending 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. Policy benefits also include gains and losses from changes in liabilities associated with our separate account assets that do not qualify for separate account reporting under GAAP. Certain of our long duration contracts are supported by assets that do not qualify for separate account reporting under GAAP. These assets are classified as trading securities and reported in Other investments and the offsetting liabilities are reported in Future policy benefits in the Consolidated balance sheet. Fair value changes in separate account assets that do not qualify for separate account reporting under GAAP are reported in Other (income) expense and the offsetting movements in the liabilities are included in Policy benefits in the Consolidated statements of operations.

For the three months ended June 30, 2017, Policy benefits were $163 million, which included $16 million of separate account liabilities losses, compared to $146 million in the prior year, which included losses of $3 million related to separate account liabilities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, Policy benefits were $331 million, which included $46 million of separate account liabilities losses, compared to $272 million in the prior year, which included no gains or losses related to separate account liabilities.

Annualized and realized integration-related savings are expected to be $875 million and $845 million, respectively, by the end of 2018. The difference between annualized savings and realized savings reflects the additional amount that will be realized in future periods. The timing of realizing savings is dependent on the period in which the action is executed.

Premiums

Net premiums written decreased $41 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 primarily due to merger-related underwriting actions ($84 million). Excluding these actions, net premiums written increased $43 million, as growth in our Major Accounts Risk Management and Wholesale businesses was partially offset by declines in our property, casualty and select components of our financial lines businesses due to competitive market conditions. In addition, net premiums written included a one-time favorable impact of a change in the timing of premium registrations during the quarter ($30 million).

Net premiums written increased $399 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 due to the timing of the Chubb Corp acquisition in the prior year which excluded approximately $519 million of production generated prior to the acquisition close on January 14, 2016 (14-day stub period). On a comparative basis, which includes the 14-day stub period, net premiums written declined $120 million driven by merger-related underwriting actions ($168 million). Excluding these items, net premiums written increased $48 million, or 0.8 percent, due to the same factors driving the increase in the quarter as described above.

Net premiums earned decreased $49 million and increased $96 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, due to the factors described above. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the unfavorable impact from merger-

related underwriting actions was more than offset by growth as well as the favorable impact of the 14-day stub period as described above.

Combined Ratio

The following table presents pre-tax catastrophe losses and pre-tax favorable prior period development net of related reinstatement premiums:



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30				June 30
(in millions of U.S. dollars)	2017		2016		2017		2016
Catastrophe losses, pre-tax	$	102	$	160	$	185	$	241
Favorable prior period development net of related reinstatement premiums, pre-tax	$	131	$	168	$	310	$	346

Catastrophe losses through June 30, 2017 and 2016 were primarily from the following events:


•	2017: Severe weather-related events in the U.S.


•	2016: Severe weather-related events in the U.S. and a wildfire in Canada.

The following table presents the impact of catastrophe losses and prior period reserve development net of related reinstatement premiums on our loss and loss expense ratio:



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30				June 30
	2017		2016		2017		2016
Loss and loss expense ratio	62.5	%	62.6	%	61.8	%	61.5	%
Catastrophe losses	(3.3	)%	(5.1	)%	(3.0	)%	(4.0	)%
Prior period development net of related reinstatement premiums	4.2	%	5.4	%	5.1	%	5.8	%
Loss and loss expense ratio, adjusted	63.4	%	62.9	%	63.9	%	63.3	%

The adjusted loss and loss expense ratio increased 0.5 percentage points and 0.6 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, primarily due to mix of business in our Major Accounts book, driven by growth in casualty lines which have a higher loss ratio and declines in property lines which have a lower loss ratio, as well as an updated allocation that more appropriately classified certain claims-related expenses as loss adjustment expenses (previously reported as administrative expenses). This updated allocation increased loss adjustment expenses (0.6 percentage points and 0.7 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively) with an offsetting decrease to administrative expenses. This increase was partially offset by favorable claims handling expense adjustments of $30 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 (0.9 percentage points and 0.5 percentage points, respectively) and integration-related expense savings realized of $12 million (0.4 percentage points) and $28 million (0.4 percentage points), respectively.

The policy acquisition cost ratio decreased 2.3 percentage points and 1.5 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to prior year periods which included the net unfavorable impact of initial year purchase accounting adjustments related to the Chubb Corp acquisition (1.4 percentage points and 1.5 percentage points, respectively). Excluding this item, the policy acquisition cost ratio decreased 0.9 percentage points for the three months ended June 30, 2017 primarily due to the change in the mix of business and integration-related expense savings realized of $5 million (0.2 percentage points). For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the policy acquisition cost ratio remained flat reflecting an increase in supplemental commissions offset by integration-related expense savings realized of $13 million (0.2 percentage points).

The administrative expense ratio decreased 1.9 percentage points and 1.7 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. The decline reflects integration-related expense savings realized of $18 million (0.6 percentage points) and $46 million (0.8 percentage points) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, lower employee benefit-related expenses of $21 million (0.7 percentage points) and $55 million (0.9 percentage points), respectively, and the updated loss expenses and administrative expenses allocation as noted above (0.6 percentage points and 0.7 percentage points), partially offset by the impact of merit-based salary increases, inflation, and increased spending to support growth.

Premiums

Net premiums written increased $24 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 reflecting growth primarily in homeowners and complementary products such as automobile and valuables. In addition, the non-renewal of a quota share treaty covering the acquired Fireman's Fund homeowners and automobile businesses ($46 million) and a one-time change in the timing of premium registrations during the quarter ($22 million), added to the growth. This increase was partially offset by the purchase of additional reinsurance ($75 million) primarily for our homeowners and large limit valuable articles business written in the northeast United States.

Net premiums written increased $137 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 due to the timing of the Chubb Corp acquisition. The prior year period excluded approximately $100 million of production generated prior to the Chubb Corp acquisition close on January 14, 2016 (14-day stub period). On a comparative basis, which includes the 14-day stub period, net premiums written increased $37 million reflecting growth across most lines, partially offset by the purchase of additional reinsurance ($126 million) described above.

Net premiums earned decreased $47 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 primarily due to the purchase of additional reinsurance described above. Net premiums earned increased $15 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 due to the factors described above.

Catastrophe losses through June 30, 2017 and 2016 were primarily from severe weather-related events in the U.S.

The following table presents the impact of catastrophe losses and prior period reserve development on our loss and loss expense ratio:



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30				June 30
	2017		2016		2017		2016
Loss and loss expense ratio	62.4	%	58.0	%	60.4	%	61.1	%

Loss and loss expense ratio, adjusted	52.1	%	50.9	%	52.2	%	50.3	%

The adjusted loss and loss expense ratio increased 1.2 percentage points and 1.9 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, primarily due to higher non-catastrophe large losses (0.7 percentage points and 1.7 percentage points, respectively), as well as an updated allocation that more appropriately classified certain claims-related expenses as loss adjustment expenses (previously reported as administrative expenses). This updated allocation increased loss adjustment expenses (0.5 percentage points for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017), with an offsetting decrease to administrative expenses. This increase was partially offset by integration-related claims handling expense savings realized of $4 million (0.3 percentage points) and $9 million (0.4 percentage points) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

The policy acquisition cost ratio decreased 2.5 percentage points and 3.4 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the prior year periods which included the net unfavorable impact from purchase accounting adjustments (2.5 percentage points and 2.8 percentage points, respectively) related to the Chubb Corp acquisition. The decreases in the ratios also reflected the favorable impact from the ceded commission benefits related to additional reinsurance purchased (1.1 percentage points for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017) and integration-related expense savings realized of $2 million (0.2 percentage points) and $4 million (0.2 percentage points) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. The decrease was partially offset by the non-renewal of the Fireman's Fund quota share treaty, as noted above, which had a higher acquisition cost ratio.

The administrative expense ratio decreased 2.4 percentage points and 2.6 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, due to integration-related expense savings realized of $7 million (0.6 percentage points) and $17 million (0.8 percentage points), respectively, lower employee benefit-related expenses of $8 million (0.7 percentage points) and $22 million (1.0 percentage point), respectively, and the updated loss expenses and administrative expenses allocation as noted above (0.5 percentage points for both periods).

Premiums

Net premiums written increased $28 million and $25 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, primarily due to higher commodity base prices in our 2017 policy pricing and growth in our Chubb Agribusiness unit driven by new business written and strong retention. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the increase was partially offset by a decline in the first quarter due to the premium-sharing formulas under the U.S. government's MPCI program. Under the MPCI profit and loss calculation, we retained less premiums on the 2016 crop year due to lower than expected losses for that year. In the first quarter of 2017, we recognized these adjustments as prior period development.

Net premiums earned increased $17 million and $8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, due to the factors described above.

Combined Ratio

The following table presents pre-tax catastrophe losses and pre-tax favorable prior period development:

Catastrophe losses through June 30, 2017 and 2016 were primarily from our farm, ranch, and specialty P&C businesses.

There was no prior period development for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, net favorable prior period development was $79 million, which included $135 million of favorable incurred losses and $5 million of lower acquisition costs due to lower than expected MPCI losses for the 2016 crop year, partially offset by a $61 million decrease in net premiums earned related to the MPCI profit and loss calculation formula. For the six months ended

Table of Contents

June 30, 2016, net favorable PPD was $41 million, which included $85 million of favorable incurred losses due to lower than expected MPCI losses for the 2015 crop year, partially offset by a $48 million decrease in net premiums earned related to the MPCI profit and loss calculation formula.

The following table presents the impact of catastrophe losses and prior period reserve development on our loss and loss expense ratio:

The adjusted loss and loss expense ratio decreased 0.3 percentage points and 0.1 percentage point for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

The policy acquisition cost ratio remained flat for the three months ended June 30, 2017. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the policy acquisition ratio decreased 1.0 percentage point primarily due to lower direct commissions in the current year. The administrative expense ratio decreased 0.3 percentage points for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 primarily due to higher Administrative and Operating (A&O) reimbursements.

Premiums

Net premiums written decreased $25 million, or increased $7 million on a constant-dollar basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2017, as growth in personal lines business, in Latin America and Europe, and property and casualty (P&C) lines, primarily in Asia and Latin America, was mostly offset by merger-related underwriting actions ($39 million).

Net premiums written increased $134 million, or $196 million on a constant-dollar basis, for the six months ended June 30, 2017, due to the timing of the Chubb Corp acquisition which excluded approximately $215 million of production in the prior year generated prior to the acquisition close on January 14, 2016 (14-day stub period). This increase was partially offset by merger-related underwriting actions ($81 million) and the impact of a merger-related accounting policy adjustment in the fourth quarter of 2016 to align the timing of premium recognition ($73 million). Excluding these items, net premiums written increased $135 million on a constant-dollar basis, due to growth in personal lines and P&C lines, as described above.

Net premiums earned decreased $75 million and $94 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. On a constant-dollar basis net premiums earned decreased $47 million and $53 million, respectively, primarily due to a higher mix of multi-year policies written in the current year in comparison to the growth in net premiums written, as well as the same factors described above. The decrease for the six months ended was partially offset by the favorable impact of the 14-day stub period, as noted above.

Catastrophe losses, pre-tax	$	10	$	73	$	60	$	91
Favorable prior period development, pre-tax	$	88	$	85	$	76	$	115

Catastrophe losses through June 30, 2017 and 2016 were primarily from the following events:


•	2017: Cyclone Debbie in Australia and flooding in Latin America


•	2016: Severe weather related events in Europe and an earthquake in Ecuador

Favorable prior period development included a charge of $32 million in the first quarter of 2017, reflecting the change in the discount rate in the U.K. (Ogden rate) which impacted our casualty lines. Refer to Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

The following table presents the impact of catastrophe losses and prior period reserve development on our loss and loss expense ratio:



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30				June 30
	2017		2016		2017		2016
Loss and loss expense ratio	47.8	%	52.1	%	51.5	%	52.1	%

Loss and loss expense ratio, adjusted	51.6	%	52.7	%	51.9	%	52.8	%

The adjusted loss and loss expense ratio decreased 1.1 percentage points and 0.9 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, primarily due to a change in the mix of business towards products and regions that have a lower loss ratio and a higher acquisition cost ratio (0.6 percentage points for both periods) and integration-related claims handling expense savings realized of $10 million (0.5 percentage points) and $17 million (0.4 percentage points), respectively.

The policy acquisition cost ratio increased 1.9 percentage points and 1.7 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, which included the net favorable impact of initial year purchase accounting adjustments related to the Chubb Corp acquisition (0.4 percentage points and 0.6 percentage points, respectively). Excluding this item, the policy acquisition cost ratio increased 1.5 percentage points and 1.1 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, primarily due to a change in the mix of business towards more A&H products and towards regions within personal lines which have a higher acquisition cost ratio and a lower loss ratio (0.4 percentage point and 0.5 percentage points), higher relative solicitation costs, as a percentage of net premiums earned, to support growth initiatives (0.2 percentage points and 0.1 percentage point, respectively), and lower cede commission benefits in the current year (0.1 percentage point for both periods). In addition, the adverse impact of aligning accounting policy after the Chubb Corp acquisition in the prior year increased the policy acquisition ratio by 0.4 percentage points and 0.2 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. These increases were partially offset by integration-related expense savings realized of $4 million (0.3 percentage points) and $8 million (0.2 percentage points) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

The administrative expense ratio decreased 1.2 percentage points and 1.0 percentage point for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, primarily due to integration-related expense savings realized of $31 million (1.5 percentage points) and $63 million (1.6 percentage points), respectively, and lower employee benefit-related expenses of $7 million in the quarter (0.3 percentage points and 0.2 percentage points, respectively). This decrease was partially offset by the impact of merit-based salary increases, inflation, and increased spending to support growth initiatives.

Premiums

Net premiums written decreased $40 million and $42 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, as we maintained underwriting discipline in an environment of declining rates and increasing competition. In addition, the decrease in net premiums written for the six months ended June 30, 2017, which included an unfavorable impact from merger-related underwriting actions of $10 million, was partially offset by the timing of the Chubb Corp acquisition. The first quarter of 2016 excluded approximately $20 million of production generated prior to the Chubb Corp acquisition close on January 14, 2016 (14-day stub period).

Net premiums earned decreased $17 million and $30 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, primarily due to the factors described above.

The adjusted loss and loss expense ratio decreased 1.6 percentage points and 2.0 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, primarily due to a change in the mix of business towards products that have a lower loss ratio.

The policy acquisition cost ratio increased 0.2 percentage points and 0.4 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, primarily due to a change in the mix of business towards products that have higher acquisition cost ratios.

The administrative expense ratio decreased 0.7 percentage points and 0.9 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, primarily reflecting expense reductions implemented to align our cost structure with our premium base and integration-related expense savings realized.

Premiums

Net premiums written decreased slightly for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and increased slightly for the six months ended June 30, 2017. For the quarter, growth in our Combined Insurance supplemental A&H program business and our Asian international life operations was more than offset by planned declines in our Latin American operations, reflecting merger-related underwriting actions of $8 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the growth in the A&H program business and in our Asian international life operations more than offset the declines related to merger-related underwriting actions of $24 million. In addition, growth in both periods was adversely impacted by our life reinsurance business, which continues to decline as no new business is currently being written.

deposits collected increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, due to growth in Taiwan, partially offset by a decline in Korea.

Life Insurance underwriting income

Life Insurance underwriting income decreased $21 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, due to the adverse impact of updating our long-term benefit ratio in our variable annuity business in the fourth quarter of 2016 ($16 million and $33 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively). For the six months ended June 30, 2017 this decrease was offset by an increase in underwriting income in our international life operations, reflecting improved margins and higher net investment income.

Corporate

Our exposure to A&E claims principally arises out of liabilities acquired when we purchased Westchester Specialty in 1998, CIGNA’s P&C business in 1999, and legacy Chubb Corp A&E claims in 2016. Corporate staff expenses and net investment income of Chubb Limited, including the amortization of the fair value adjustment on acquired invested assets and debt, interest expense, amortization of purchased intangibles related to the Chubb Corp acquisition, Chubb integration expenses and other merger-related expenses and the results of Chubb Group Management and Holdings Ltd, and Chubb INA Holdings Inc. are reported within Corporate.

Losses and loss expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were primarily from unfavorable prior period development related to non-A&E run-off casualty exposures as well as unallocated loss adjustment expenses of the A&E claim operations. The 2016 losses and loss expenses related primarily to unallocated loss adjustment expenses of the A&E claim operations.

Administrative expenses increased $3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, administrative expenses decreased $12 million reflecting integration-related expense savings and lower post-retirement benefit expenses.

Net investment income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 included amortization of $85 million and $108 million, respectively, related to the fair value adjustment on invested assets related to the Chubb Corp acquisition. Net investment income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 included amortization of $108 million and $201

million, respectively, related to the fair value adjustment on invested assets related to the Chubb Corp acquisition. Excluding the fair value adjustment amortization, net investment income increased by $4 million and $10 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. Refer to the Net Investment Income section for a discussion on consolidated Net investment income.

Interest expense decreased $6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 due to the conversion during the quarter of the interest rate on our $1.0 billion of unsecured junior subordinated capital securities to a floating rate, equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 2.25 percentage points. This conversion is expected to reduce future quarterly pre-tax interest expense by approximately $7 million for the remainder of 2017. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, interest expense increased $2 million as the decrease noted above was more than offset by the timing of the Chubb Corp acquisition in the prior year which excluded approximately $8 million of interest expense prior to the Chubb Corp acquisition close on January 14, 2016.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, net realized gains of $101 million and $94 million, respectively, were primarily from realized gains associated with a net decrease in the fair value of GLB liabilities, partially offset by realized losses on our investment portfolios. The decrease in the fair value of GLB liabilities was primarily due to the impact of updating aspects of our valuation model relating to interest rates and higher global equity market levels, partially offset by declining interest rates. In addition, we maintain positions in derivative instruments that decrease in fair value when the S&P 500 index increases. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we experienced realized losses of $38 million and $112 million, respectively, related to these derivative instruments.

Net realized losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 were primarily associated with a net increase in the fair value of GLB liabilities. These increases were primarily due to lower interest rates and the unfavorable impact of discounting future claims for one and two less quarters, respectively. Falling international equity market levels also contributed to the increase in the fair value of the GLB liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2016. In addition, we maintain positions in derivative instruments that decrease in fair value when the S&P 500 index increases. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we experienced realized losses of $28 million and $43 million, respectively, related to these derivative instruments. Additionally, there were realized losses on our investment portfolios during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 of $32 million and $220 million, respectively. For further discussion of the remaining Net realized gains and (losses), refer to "Net realized and unrealized gains and (losses)".

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, Other (income) expense recognized in Corporate was $(129) million and $(174) million, respectively, compared to $(16) million and $11 million, respectively, comprised of:


•	Other income in 2017 of $143 million and $204 million, respectively, from our share of net realized gains and losses from partially-owned investment companies, compared to realized gains (losses) in 2016 of $18 million and $(7) million, respectively, primarily reflecting the change in market value of these investments.


•	Other expense in 2017 of $(14) million and $(21) million, respectively, compared to other expense in 2016 of $(2) million and $(4) million, respectively. The higher expense in 2017 was primarily due to an increase in capital taxes resulting from a higher equity base after the Chubb Corp acquisition.

Refer to the Other Income and Expense Items section for further information.

Amortization expense of purchased intangibles increased $62 million and $124 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, primarily reflecting the increase in intangible amortization expense related to agency distribution relationships and renewal rights and lower amortization benefit from the fair value adjustment of Unpaid losses and loss expenses acquired as part of the Chubb Corp acquisition. Refer to the Amortization of purchased intangibles and Other amortization section for further information.

Chubb 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.

Effective income tax rate

Our effective income tax rate, which we calculate as income tax expense divided by income before income tax, is dependent upon the mix of earnings from different jurisdictions with various tax rates. A change in the geographic mix of earnings would change the effective income tax rate.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, our effective income tax rate was 13.3 percent and 12.0 percent, respectively, compared to 17.6 percent and 19.3 percent, respectively, in the prior year periods. The effective income tax rate was lower in 2017 primarily due to realized gains being generated in lower taxing jurisdictions in the current year compared to realized losses generated in lower taxing jurisdictions in the prior year. The decrease was also driven by a reduction of income tax expense due to the adoption of the new stock compensation guidance in January 2017 ($5 million and $30 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively). Additionally, the decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was also driven by a reduction to income tax expense of approximately $25 million in the current year primarily related to an accounting election we made relating to the treatment of certain, discrete investments that resulted in the release of the associated deferred tax liability. Refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the adoption of this guidance.

The lower tax rates attributed to our foreign operations primarily reflect the lower corporate tax rates that prevail outside of the U.S. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, approximately 60 percent and 59 percent, respectively, of our total pre-tax income was tax effected based on these lower rates compared with 51 percent and 46 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. The significant lower taxing jurisdictions outside of the U.S. include the U.K., Switzerland, and Bermuda with effective federal income tax rates in those countries of 19.25 percent, 7.83 percent, and 0.0 percent, respectively.

Amortization of purchased intangibles and Other amortization

Amortization expense related to purchased intangibles was $65 million and $129 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared with $5 million and $12 million, respectively, in the prior year periods. The increase in amortization expense of purchased intangibles primarily reflects higher intangible amortization expense related to agency distribution relationships and renewal rights and lower amortization benefit from the fair value adjustment on Unpaid losses and loss expenses.

The following table presents, as of June 30, 2017, the estimated pre-tax amortization expense (benefit) of purchased intangibles, at current foreign currency exchange rates, for the third and fourth quarters of 2017 and the next five years:

Table of Contents

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 8.8 percent and 9.6 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared with the prior year periods. The increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily due to a higher overall invested asset base, higher call activity in our corporate bond portfolio and higher dividends. Additionally, the prior year period excluded $45 million of Net investment income generated prior to the Chubb Corp acquisition close on January 14, 2016.

Our average yield on invested assets was 3.4 percent for all periods presented, which is primarily driven by the yield on our fixed maturities. This compares to the average market yield, which represents the weighted average yield to maturity of our fixed income portfolio based on market prices of the holdings throughout the period, of 2.7 percent and 2.3 percent at June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

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 certain 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.

The effect of market movements on our available for sale investment portfolio impacts Net income (through Net realized gains (losses)) when securities are sold or when we record an Other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) charge in Net income. For a discussion related to how we assess OTTI for all of our investments, including credit-related OTTI, and the related impact on Net income, refer to Note 3 c) to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Additionally, Net income is impacted through the reporting of changes in the fair value of 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 liability adjustment, are reported as separate components of Accumulated other comprehensive income in Shareholders’ equity in the Consolidated balance sheets.

The following table presents our net realized and unrealized gains (losses):

Investments

Our investment portfolio is invested primarily in publicly traded, investment grade, fixed income securities with an average credit quality of A/Aa as rated by the independent investment rating services Standard and Poor’s (S&P)/ Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s). 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 4.2 years at both June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. We estimate that a 100 basis point (bps) increase in interest rates would reduce the valuation of our fixed income portfolio by approximately $4.0 billion at June 30, 2017.

The following table shows the fair value and cost/amortized cost of our invested assets:

The fair value of our total investments increased $1.3 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2017, primarily due to the investing of operating cash flows and unrealized appreciation, partially offset by the repayment of our $500 million senior notes that matured in February 2017, repurchases of our Common Shares, and the payment of dividends on our Common Shares.

Municipal

As part of our overall investment strategy, we may invest in states, municipalities, and other political subdivisions fixed maturity securities (Municipal). We apply the same investment selection process described previously to our Municipal investments. The portfolio is highly diversified primarily in state general obligation bonds and essential service revenue bonds including education and utilities (water, power, and sewers).

Non-U.S.

Our exposure to the Euro results primarily from ACE European Group which is headquartered in London and offers a broad range of coverages throughout the European Union, Central, and Eastern 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 55 percent of our holdings are rated AAA 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. Because of this investment approach, we do not have a direct exposure to troubled sovereign borrowers in Europe. 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. At June 30, 2017, our corporate fixed income investment portfolio included below-investment grade and non-rated securities which, in total, comprised approximately 12 percent of our fixed income portfolio. Our below-investment grade and non-rated portfolio includes over 1,100 issuers, with the greatest single exposure being $157 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. Eight 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 loan obligations) are not permitted in the high-yield portfolio.

⁽¹⁾	Net of provision for uncollectible reinsurance

We evaluate the financial condition of our reinsurers and potential reinsurers on a regular basis and also monitor concentrations of credit risk with reinsurers. The provision for uncollectible reinsurance is required principally due to the potential failure of reinsurers to indemnify us, primarily because of disputes under reinsurance contracts and insolvencies. The provision for

Table of Contents

uncollectible reinsurance is based on a default analysis applied to gross reinsurance recoverables, net of approximately $3.4 billion and $3.3 billion of collateral at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The decrease in reinsurance recoverable on losses and loss expenses was primarily due to collections relating to large losses, partially offset by crop activity.

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 that are discounted in statutory filings, 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:



(in millions of U.S. dollars)	Gross Losses			Reinsurance Recoverable ⁽¹⁾			Net Losses
Balance at December 31, 2016	$	60,540		$	12,708		$	47,832

Balance at June 30, 2017	$	60,394		$	12,485		$	47,909


⁽¹⁾	Net of provision for uncollectible reinsurance

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).

Asbestos and Environmental (A&E)

There was no significant A&E reserve activity during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. A&E reserves are included in Corporate. Refer to our 2016 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 our catastrophe risk accumulation around the world. The table below presents our modeled annual aggregate pre-tax probable maximum loss (PML), net of reinsurance, for 100-year and 250-year return periods for U.S. hurricane and California earthquake at June 30, 2017 and 2016. The table also presents Chubb’s corresponding share of pre-tax industry PMLs for each of the return periods for U.S. hurricane and California earthquake. For example, according to the model, for the 1-in-100 return period scenario, there is a one percent chance that our losses incurred in any year from U.S. hurricane events could be in excess of $2,919 million (or 5.8 percent of our total shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2017). We estimate that at such hypothetical loss levels, Chubb’s share of the aggregate industry PML would be approximately 2.0 percent.



	Modeled Annual Aggregate Net PML
	U.S. Hurricane								California Earthquake
	June 30						June 30		June 30						June 30
	2017						2016		2017						2016

The above modeled loss information at June 30, 2017 reflects our in-force portfolio at April 1, 2017. The June 30, 2017 modeled loss information reflects the April 1, 2017 reinsurance program (see Natural Catastrophe Property Reinsurance Program section below) as well as inuring reinsurance protection coverages.

The modeling estimates of both Chubb and industry loss levels are inherently uncertain owing to key assumptions. First, while the use of third-party catastrophe modeling packages to simulate potential hurricane and earthquake losses is prevalent within the insurance industry, the models are reliant upon significant meteorology, seismology, and engineering assumptions to estimate hurricane and earthquake losses. In particular, modeled hurricane and earthquake events are not always a representation of actual events and ensuing additional loss potential. Second, there is no universal standard in the preparation of insured data for use in the models and the running of the modeling software. Third, we are reliant upon third-party estimates of industry insured exposures and there is significant variation possible around the relationship between our loss and that of the industry following an event. Fourth, we assume that our reinsurance recoveries following an event are fully collectible. 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.

Natural Catastrophe Property Reinsurance Program

Chubb’s core property catastrophe reinsurance program provides protection against natural catastrophes impacting its primary property operations (i.e., excluding our Global Reinsurance and Life Insurance segments).

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 effective April 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018, with no significant change in coverage from the expiring program. The program consists of three layers in excess of losses retained by Chubb. In addition, Chubb also renewed its terrorism coverage (excluding nuclear, biological, chemical and radiation coverage, with an inclusion of coverage for biological and chemical coverage for personal lines) for the United States from April 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018 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.

Chubb also has two series of property catastrophe bonds in place (assumed as part of the Chubb Corp acquisition) that offer additional natural catastrophe protection for certain parts of the portfolio. The geographic scope of this coverage is from Virginia through Maine. The East Lane VI 2014 series currently provides $270 million of coverage as part of a $300 million layer in excess of $2,660 million retention through March 14, 2018. The East Lane VI 2015 series currently provides $250 million of coverage as part of a $408 million layer in excess of $2,014 million retention through March 13, 2020.

Crop Insurance

We are, and have been since the 1980s, one of the leading writers of crop insurance in the U.S. and have conducted that business through a managing general agent subsidiary of Rain and Hail. We provide protection throughout the U.S. on a variety of crops and are therefore geographically diversified, which reduces the risk of exposure to a single event or a heavy accumulation of losses in any one region. Our crop insurance business comprises two components – Multiple Peril Crop Insurance (MPCI) and crop-hail insurance.

The MPCI program is offered in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The policies cover revenue shortfalls or production losses due to natural causes such as drought, excessive moisture, hail, wind, frost, insects, and disease. Generally, policies have deductibles ranging from 10 percent to 50 percent of the insured's risk. The USDA's Risk Management Agency (RMA) sets the policy terms and conditions, rates and forms, and is also responsible for setting compliance standards. As a participating company, we report all details of policies underwritten to the RMA and are party to a Standard Reinsurance Agreement (SRA). The SRA sets out the relationship between private insurance companies and the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) concerning the terms and conditions regarding the risks each will bear including the pro-rata and state stop-loss provisions which allows companies to limit the exposure of any one state or group of states on their underwriting results. In addition to the pro-rata and excess of loss reinsurance protections inherent in the SRA, we also purchase third-party proportional and stop-loss reinsurance for our MPCI business to reduce our exposure. We may also enter into crop derivative contracts to further manage our risk exposure.

Each year the RMA issues a final SRA for the subsequent reinsurance year. In June 2017, the RMA released the 2018 SRA which establishes the terms and conditions for the 2018 reinsurance year (i.e., July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018) that replaced the 2017 SRA. There were no significant changes in the terms and conditions, and therefore the new SRA does not impact Chubb's outlook on the crop program relative to 2018.

On the MPCI business, we recognize net premiums written as soon as estimable, which is generally when we receive acreage reports from the policyholders on the various crops throughout the U.S. This allows us to best determine the premium

Table of Contents

associated with the liability that is being planted. The MPCI program has specific timeframes as to when producers must report acreage to us and in certain cases, the reporting occurs after the close of the respective reinsurance year. Once the net premium written has been recorded, the premium is then earned over the growing season for the crops. A majority of the crops that are covered in the program are typically subject to the SRA in effect at the beginning of the year. Given the major crops covered in the program, we typically see a substantial written and earned premium impact in the second and third quarters.

The pricing of MPCI premium is determined using a number of factors including commodity prices and related volatility. For instance, in most states the pricing for the MPCI Revenue Product for corn includes a factor that is based on the average price in February of the Chicago Board of Trade December corn futures. To the extent that the corn commodity prices are higher in February than they were in the previous February, and all other factors are the same, the increase in corn prices will increase the corn premium year over year.

Our crop-hail program is a private offering. Premium is earned on the crop-hail program over the coverage period of the policy. Given the very short nature of the growing season, most crop-hail business is typically written in the second and third quarters with the earned premium also more heavily occurring during this time frame. We use industry data to develop our own rates and forms for the coverage offered. The policy primarily protects farmers against yield reduction caused by hail and/or fire, and related costs such as transit to storage. We offer various deductibles to allow the grower to partially self-insure for a reduced premium cost. We limit our crop-hail exposures through the use of township liability limits and third-party proportional and stop-loss reinsurance on our net retained hail business.

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 an available $1.5 billion letter of credit/revolver facility. At June 30, 2017, our usage of this letter of credit was $376 million. Our access to funds under an existing credit facility is dependent on the ability of the bank that is a party to the facility to meet its funding commitments. Our existing credit facility has a remaining term expiring in November 2017 and requires that we maintain certain financial covenants, all of which we met at June 30, 2017. Should our existing credit provider 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 facility. Refer to “Credit Facilities” in our 2016 Form 10-K for additional information.

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, 2017, we were able to meet all of 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 $450 million and $875 million from its Bermuda subsidiaries during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Chubb Limited received dividends of $5.0 billion from its Bermuda subsidiaries in 2015, of which $2.7 billion were paid in 2015, while the remaining $2.3 billion were paid during the first quarter of 2016. These dividends were used to finance a portion of the Chubb Corp acquisition by making capital contributions to Chubb INA and Chubb Group Holdings, both subsidiaries of Chubb Limited.

The payment of any dividends from CGM or its subsidiaries is subject to applicable U.K. insurance laws and regulations. In addition, the release of funds by Syndicate 2488 to subsidiaries of CGM is subject to regulations promulgated by the Society of Lloyd’s. 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 CGM or Chubb INA during

the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. 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 dividends of $1.6 billion and $1.2 billion from its subsidiaries during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Chubb INA received $1.0 billion in capital contributions from Chubb Limited and $4.2 billion from Chubb Group Holdings during the six months ended June 30, 2016. Chubb INA also received $5.1 billion in capital contributions in 2015, of which $2.8 billion were paid in 2015, while the remaining $2.3 billion were paid in 2016. $5.0 billion of these capital contributions were sourced from the dividends from the Bermuda subsidiaries to fund the Chubb Corp acquisition as noted above.

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, 2017 and 2016.

Operating cash flows were $1.6 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $2.2 billion in the prior year period. The decrease in operating cash flow is due to higher taxes paid of $251 million in 2017, reflecting the timing of required estimated tax payments and balances due on prior years. Additionally, the 2016 tax payments were lower, reflecting the benefit from overpayments of taxes in 2015. Higher claims paid in 2017 compared to the prior year also reduced operating cash flow.

Cash from investing was $104 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to cash used for investing of $2.7 billion in the prior year period. The prior year included $14.3 billion for the purchase of Chubb Corp, which was largely funded by sales in our investment portfolio, including net proceeds in short-term investments. Cash used for financing was $1,443 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $269 million in the prior year period. The current year included $500 million of repayments of long-term debt and $475 million of share repurchases. In addition, dividends paid in the current year were $646 million compared to $530 million in the prior year reflecting our higher outstanding share count following the Chubb Corp acquisition. The dividends paid in January 2016 were based on shareholders of record at December 31, 2015, which was prior to the issuance of 137 million shares in connection with the closing of the Chubb Corp acquisition on January 14, 2016.

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.

In the current low interest rate environment, we use repurchase agreements as a low-cost alternative for short-term funding needs and to address short-term cash timing differences without disrupting our investment portfolio holdings. At June 30, 2017, there were $1.4 billion in repurchase agreements outstanding with various maturities over the next 7 months.

to redeem the collateral on short notice, unlike short-term debt which comprises the current maturities of our long-term debt instruments.

As part of the Chubb Corp acquisition on January 14, 2016, we assumed Chubb Corp's senior and subordinated debt obligations, totaling $3.3 billion par value (fair valued at $3.8 billion at the acquisition date), which is guaranteed by Chubb Limited. Included in the debt obligations are junior subordinated capital securities of $1.0 billion. Prior to April 15, 2017, these securities carried a fixed interest rate of 6.375 percent. Effective April 15, 2017, these securities bear interest at a rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 2.25 percentage points. The current interest rate, at the time of this filing, on these securities is 3.55 percent. The scheduled maturity date for these securities is April 15, 2037.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, we repurchased $475 million of Common Shares in a series of open market transactions under the Board of Directors (Board) share repurchase authorization. At June 30, 2017, there were 14,408,723 Common Shares in treasury with a weighted average cost of $116.25 per share. For the period July 1, 2017 through August 2, 2017, we repurchased 501,872 Common Shares for a total of $72 million in a series of open market transactions. At August 2, 2017, $453 million in share repurchase authorization remained through December 31, 2017.

We generally maintain the ability to issue certain classes of debt and equity securities via an unlimited Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) shelf registration which is renewed every three years. This allows us capital market access for refinancing as well as for unforeseen or opportunistic capital needs. Our current shelf registration on file with the SEC expires in October 2018.

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 in U.S. dollars. Refer to Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of our dividend methodology.

At our May 2017 annual general meeting, our shareholders approved an annual dividend for the following year of up to $2.84 per share, or CHF 2.78 per share, calculated using the USD/CHF exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on May 18, 2017, expected to be paid in four quarterly installments of $0.71 per share after the general meeting by way of a distribution from capital contribution reserves, transferred to free reserves for payment. The Board will determine the record and payment dates at which the annual dividend may be paid until the date of the 2018 annual general meeting, and is authorized to abstain from distributing a dividend at their discretion. The annual dividend approved in May 2017 represented an $0.08 per share increase ($0.02 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:



Shareholders of record as of:	Dividends paid as of:
December 30, 2016	January 20, 2017	$0.69 (CHF 0.69)
March 31, 2017	April 21, 2017	$0.69 (CHF 0.69)
June 30, 2017	July 21, 2017	$0.71 (CHF 0.69)

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Refer to Item 7A included in our 2016 Form 10-K.

Foreign currency management

As a global company, Chubb entities transact business in multiple currencies. Our policy is to generally match assets, liabilities and required capital for each individual jurisdiction in local currency, which would include the use of derivatives. We do not hedge our net asset non-U.S. dollar capital positions; however, we do consider hedging for planned cross border transactions. For an estimated impact of foreign currency movement on our net assets denominated in non-U.S. currencies, refer to Item 7A in our 2016 Form 10-K. This information will be updated and disclosed in interim filings if our net assets in non-U.S. currencies change materially from the December 31, 2016 balances disclosed in the 2016 Form 10-K.

Reinsurance of GMDB and GLB guarantees

Chubb views its variable annuity reinsurance business as having a similar risk profile to that of catastrophe reinsurance with the probability of long-term economic loss relatively small, at the time of pricing. Adverse changes in market factors and policyholder behavior will have an impact on both life underwriting income and net income. When evaluating these risks, we expect to be compensated for taking both the risk of a cumulative long-term economic net loss, as well as the short-term accounting variations caused by these market movements. Therefore, we evaluate this business in terms of its long-term economic risk and reward.

Net income is directly impacted by changes in benefit reserves calculated in connection with reinsurance of variable annuity guarantees, primarily GMDB and GLB. In addition, net income is directly impacted by changes in the fair value of the GLB liability (FVL), which is classified as a derivative for accounting purposes. The FVL established for a GLB reinsurance contract represents the difference between the fair value of the contract and the benefit reserves. Benefit reserves and FVL calculations are directly affected by market factors, including equity levels, interest rate levels, credit risk, and implied volatilities, as well as policyholder behaviors, such as annuitization and lapse rates.

The tables below are estimates of the sensitivities to instantaneous changes in economic inputs (e.g., equity shock, interest rate shock etc.) or actuarial assumptions at June 30, 2017 of the FVL and of the fair value of specific derivative instruments held (hedge value) to partially offset the risk in the variable annuity guarantee reinsurance portfolio. The following assumptions should be considered when using the below tables:


•	No changes to the benefit ratio used to establish benefit reserves at June 30, 2017


•	Equity shocks impact all global equity markets equally


•	Our liabilities are sensitive to global equity markets in the following proportions: 75 percent—85 percent U.S. equity, 10 percent—20 percent international equity ex-Japan, up to 10 percent Japan equity.


•	Our current hedge portfolio is sensitive to global equity markets in the following proportions: 100 percent U.S. equity.


•	We would suggest using the S&P 500 index as a proxy for U.S. equity, the MSCI EAFE index as a proxy for international equity, and the TOPIX as a proxy for Japan equity.


•	Interest rate shocks assume a parallel shift in the U.S. yield curve


•	Our liabilities are also sensitive to global interest rates at various points on the yield curve, mainly the U.S. Treasury curve in the following proportions: up to 10 percent short-term rates (maturing in less than 5 years), 15 percent—25 percent medium-term rates (maturing between 5 years and 10 years, inclusive), and 70 percent—80 percent long-term rates (maturing beyond 10 years).


•	A change in AA-rated credit spreads (AA-rated credit spreads are a proxy for both our own credit spreads and the credit spreads of the ceding insurers) impacts the rate used to discount cash flows in the fair value model.


•	The hedge sensitivity is from June 30, 2017 market levels.

•

The sensitivities are not directly additive because changes in one factor will affect the sensitivity to changes in other factors. The sensitivities do not scale linearly and may be proportionally greater for larger movements in the market factors. The sensitivities may also vary due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. The calculation of the FVL is based on internal models that include assumptions regarding future policyholder behavior, including lapse, annuitization, and asset allocation. These assumptions impact both the absolute level of the FVL as well as the sensitivities to changes in market factors shown below. Actual sensitivity of our net income may differ from those disclosed in the tables below due to differences between short-term market movements and management judgment regarding the long-term assumptions implicit in our benefit ratios. Furthermore, the sensitivities below could vary by multiples of the sensitivities in the tables below.

•

In addition, the tables below do not reflect the expected quarterly run rate of net income generated by the variable annuity guarantee reinsurance portfolio if markets remain unchanged during the period. All else equal, if markets remain unchanged during the period, the Gross FVL will increase, resulting in a realized loss. The realized loss occurs primarily because, during the period, we will collect premium on the full population while only 69 percent of that population has become eligible to annuitize and generate a claim (since approximately 31 percent of policies are not eligible to annuitize until after June 30, 2017). This increases the Gross FVL because future premiums are lower by the amount collected in the quarter, and also because future claims are discounted for a shorter period. We refer to this increase in Gross FVL as “timing

Table of Contents

effect”. The unfavorable impact of timing effect on our Gross FVL in a quarter is not reflected in the sensitivity tables below. For this reason, when using the tables below to estimate the sensitivity of Gross FVL in the third quarter to various changes, it is necessary to assume an additional $5 million to $45 million increase in Gross FVL and realized losses. However, the impact to Net income is substantially mitigated because the majority of this realized loss is offset by the positive quarterly run rate of Life underwriting income generated by the variable annuity guarantee reinsurance portfolio if markets remain unchanged during the period. Note that both the timing effect and the quarterly run rate of Life underwriting income change over time as the book ages.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Chubb’s management, with the participation of Chubb’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of Chubb’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of June 30, 2017. Based upon that evaluation, Chubb’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that Chubb’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in allowing information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 to be recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to Chubb’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In 2016, Chubb completed the acquisition of The Chubb Corporation. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we continued to integrate the information technology environments of the two companies. There were no other changes to Chubb's internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Chubb's internal controls over financial reporting.
