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. Our results are reported 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 12 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 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 2021 Form 10-K.
b) Restricted cash
Restricted cash in the Consolidated balance sheets represents amounts held for the benefit of third parties and is legally or contractually restricted as to withdrawal or usage. Amounts include deposits with U.S. and non-U.S. regulatory authorities, trust funds set up for the benefit of ceding companies, and amounts pledged as collateral to meet financing arrangements.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and restricted cash reported within the Consolidated balance sheets that total to the amounts shown in the Consolidated statements of cash flows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| June 30 | | December 31 |
(in millions of U.S. dollars) | 2022 | | 2021 |

Restricted cash | 117 | | | 152 | |
Total cash and restricted cash shown in the Consolidated statements of cash flows | $ | 7,239 | | | $ | 1,811 | |
(1)On July 1, 2022, we paid $5.36 billion for the acquisition of Cigna's life and non-life insurance companies in six Asia-Pacific markets. Refer to Note 2 for additional information.
c) Goodwill
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, Goodwill decreased $168 million, primarily reflecting the impact of foreign exchange.
d) Accounting guidance not yet adopted
Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts
In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance to improve the existing recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements for long-duration contracts issued by an insurance entity. The amendments in this update require more frequent updating of assumptions and a standardized discount rate for the future policy benefit liability, a requirement to use the fair value measurement model for policies with market risk benefits, simplified amortization of deferred acquisition costs, and enhanced disclosures. This standard will be effective in the first quarter of 2023 with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the effect of adopting this guidance on our financial condition and results of operations. We will be better able to quantify the effect of adopting this standard as we progress in our implementation process and draw nearer to the date of adoption.

2. Acquisitions
Cigna’s Life and Accident and Health (A&H) Insurance Business in Asia-Pacific Markets
On July 1, 2022, we completed the acquisition of the life and non-life insurance companies that house the personal accident, supplemental health, and life insurance business of Cigna in six Asia-Pacific markets. Chubb paid $5.36 billion in cash for the operations, which include Cigna's accident and health (A&H) and life business in Korea, Taiwan, New Zealand, Thailand, Hong Kong, and Indonesia. The reduction in the final purchase price from the original agreement reflects the impacts of rising interest rates and foreign exchange rates on acquired book value and other minor adjustments. This complementary strategic acquisition expands our presence and advances our long-term growth opportunity in the Asia-Pacific region. Effective July 1, 2022, the results of operations of this acquired business will be reported primarily in our Life Insurance segment and, to a lesser extent, our Overseas General Insurance segment.
Huatai Group
Chubb maintains a direct investment in Huatai Insurance Group Co., Ltd. (Huatai Group). Huatai Group is the parent company of, and owns 100 percent of, Huatai Property & Casualty Insurance Co., Ltd. (Huatai P&C), approximately 80 percent of Huatai Life Insurance Co., Ltd. (Huatai Life), and approximately 82 percent of Huatai Asset Management Co., Ltd. (collectively, Huatai). Huatai Group's insurance operations have more than 600 branches and approximately 19 million customers in China.
As of June 30, 2022, Chubb's aggregate ownership interest in Huatai Group was approximately 47.3 percent. Chubb applies the equity method of accounting to its investment in Huatai Group by recording its share of net income or loss in Other (income) expense in the Consolidated statements of operations.
During 2021, Chubb entered into agreements with several counterparties to purchase incremental ownership interests in Huatai Group totaling approximately 31.8 percent for approximately $2.2 billion. In connection with these agreements, Chubb paid approximately $1.1 billion in deposits. In January 2022, we paid $113 million relating to these agreements. Chubb entered into an agreement to acquire an approximate 7.1 percent ownership interest in Huatai Group for approximately $0.5 billion, which was paid as a deposit in 2020. The purchase of the additional ownership interests is contingent upon important conditions. As Chubb’s ownership interest increases, we will continue to evaluate the appropriateness of consolidation accounting in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810, Consolidation, and other applicable regulations.

b) Gross unrealized loss
Fixed maturities in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 comprised both investment grade and below investment grade securities for which fair value declined, principally due to rising interest rates since the date of purchase. Refer to Note 3 in the 2021 Form 10-K for further information on factors considered in the evaluation of expected credit losses.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the tax benefit on certain unrealized losses in our investment portfolio was reduced by a valuation allowance of $485 million necessary due to limitations on the utilization of these losses. As part of evaluating whether it was more likely than not that we could realize these losses, we considered realized gains, carryback capacity and available tax planning strategies.

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 | | funds where the initial fund term has expired |
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 are up to 270 days. Chubb can redeem its investment funds without consent from the investment fund managers.
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 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 have investments in segregated portfolios primarily to provide collateral or guarantees for LOC and derivative transactions. Included in restricted assets at June

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.
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 or pricing models, 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) and may
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – continued (Unaudited)
Chubb Limited and Subsidiaries
require the use of models to be priced. The lack of market based inputs 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.
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 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 supplemental retirement plans and are classified within the valuation hierarchy on the same basis as other equity securities and fixed maturities.
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 and interest rate 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 maintain positions in 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 future policy benefit reserves for our guaranteed minimum death benefits (GMDB) and an increase in the fair value liability for our guaranteed living benefits (GLB) reinsurance business. Our positions in exchange-traded equity futures contracts are 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.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – continued (Unaudited)
Chubb Limited and Subsidiaries
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) associated with variable annuity contracts. GLBs are recorded in Accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities 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. Because of the significant use of unobservable inputs including policyholder behavior, GLB reinsurance is classified within Level 3.

Level 3 financial instruments
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. The majority of our fixed maturities classified as Level 3 used external pricing when markets are less liquid due to the lack of market inputs (i.e., stale pricing, broker quotes).

GLB (1) | $ | 832 | | | $ | 745 | | | Actuarial model | | Lapse rate | | 3% – 31% | | 4.0 | % |
| | | | | | | Annuitization rate | | 0% – 100% | | 4.4 | % |
(1)The weighted-average lapse and annuitization rates are determined by weighting each treaty's rates by the GLB contracts fair value.
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 by blending the experience with data received from other ceding companies. 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. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, no material refinements were made to the model. For detailed information on our lapse and annuitization rate assumptions, refer to Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2021 Form 10-K.

Prior Period Development
Prior period development (PPD) arises from changes to loss estimates recognized in the current year that relate to loss events that occurred in previous calendar years and excludes the effect of losses from the development of earned premium from previous accident years. Long-tail lines include lines such as workers' compensation, general liability, and financial lines; while short-tail lines include lines such as most property lines, energy, personal accident, and agriculture.
The following table summarizes (favorable) and adverse PPD by segment:

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
2022
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, net favorable PPD was $287 million, which was the net result of several underlying favorable and adverse movements, and was driven by the following principal changes:
•Net favorable development of $266 million in long-tail business, primarily from:
•Net favorable development of $286 million in workers’ compensation lines. This included favorable development of $59 million related to our annual assessment of multi-claimant events, including industrial accidents, in the 2021 accident year. 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. The remaining overall favorable development was mainly in accident years 2017 and prior, driven by lower than expected loss experience and related updates to loss development factors;
•Net favorable development of $132 million in primary general liability portfolios, driven by lower than expected paid and reported case incurred activity in accident years 2017 and prior; and

7. 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 economic 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, principally GMIB, 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 GLB reinsurance product meets the definition of a derivative instrument and 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 book of business.
All derivative instruments are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in Net realized gains (losses) in the Consolidated statements of operations. None of the derivative instruments are designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

b) Derivative instrument objectives
(i) Foreign currency exposure management
A foreign currency forward contract (forward) is an agreement between participants to exchange specific currencies at a future date. Chubb uses forwards to minimize the effect of fluctuating foreign currencies as discussed above.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – continued (Unaudited)
Chubb Limited and Subsidiaries
(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 future policy benefit reserves for GMDB and an increase in the fair value liability for 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 our 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, level of interest rates, 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.
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, from time to time, 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. The GLB is accounted for as a derivative and is recorded at fair value. 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 U.S. and/or international 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.
To mitigate adverse changes in the capital markets, we maintain positions in exchange-traded equity futures contracts, as noted under section "(ii) Futures" above. These futures increase in fair value when the S&P 500 index decreases (and decrease in fair
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – continued (Unaudited)
Chubb Limited and Subsidiaries
value when the S&P 500 index increases). The net impact of gains or losses related to changes in fair value of the GLB liability and the exchange-traded equity futures are included in Net realized gains (losses).
c) Securities lending and 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.
The following table presents the carrying value of collateral held under securities lending agreements by investment category and remaining contractual maturity of the underlying agreements:

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our repurchase agreement obligations of $3,411 million and $1,406 million, respectively, were fully collateralized. In contrast to securities lending programs, the use of cash received is not restricted for the repurchase obligations. The fair value of the underlying securities sold remains in Fixed maturities available for sale, and the repurchase agreement obligation is recorded in Repurchase agreements in the Consolidated balance sheets.
The following table presents the carrying value of collateral pledged under repurchase agreements by investment category and remaining contractual maturity of the underlying agreements:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – continued (Unaudited)
Chubb Limited and Subsidiaries
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.
d) Fixed maturities
At June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, commitments to purchase fixed income securities over the next several years were $632 million and $771 million, respectively.
e) Other investments
At June 30, 2022, included in Other investments in the Consolidated balance sheet are investments in limited partnerships and partially-owned investment companies with a carrying value of $10.9 billion. In connection with these investments, we have commitments that may require funding of up to $7.4 billion over the next several years. At December 31, 2021, these investments had a carrying value of $9.8 billion with a commitment that may require funding of up to $7.2 billion.
f) Income taxes
At June 30, 2022, $58 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 by taxing authorities, settlements and the lapses of statutes of limitations. With few exceptions, Chubb is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years before 2012.
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.
h) Lease commitments
At June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the right-of-use asset was $433 million and $445 million, respectively, recorded within Other assets and the lease liability was $461 million and $484 million, respectively, recorded within Accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities on the Consolidated balance sheets. These leases consist principally of real estate operating leases that are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, which expire at various dates.
8. 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 the Consolidated Financial statements. Under Swiss corporate law, dividends, including distributions from legal reserves or through a reduction in par value (par value reduction), must be stated in Swiss francs though dividend payments are made by Chubb in U.S. dollars. At June 30, 2022, our Common Shares had a par value of CHF 24.15 per share.
At our May 2022 annual general meeting, our shareholders approved an annual dividend for the following year of up to $3.32 per share, expected to be paid in four quarterly installments of $0.83 per share after the general meeting by way of distribution from capital contribution reserves, transferred to free reserves for payment. The Board of Directors (Board) will determine the record and payment dates at which the annual dividend may be paid until the date of the 2023 annual general meeting, and is authorized to abstain from distributing a dividend at its discretion.

Chubb Limited and Subsidiaries
At our May 2021 and 2020 annual general meetings, our shareholders approved annual dividends for the following year of up to $3.20 per share and $3.12 per share, respectively, which were paid in four quarterly installments of $0.80 per share and $0.78 per share, respectively, at dates determined by the Board after the annual general meetings by way of a distribution from capital contribution reserves, transferred to free reserves for payment.
The following table presents dividend distributions per Common Share in Swiss francs (CHF) and U.S. dollars (USD):

Increases in Common Shares in treasury are due to open market repurchases of Common Shares and the surrender of Common Shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock and the forfeiture of unvested restricted stock. Decreases in Common Shares in treasury are principally due to grants of restricted stock, exercises of stock options, purchases under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), and share cancellations. At the Chubb Limited Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders, held on November 3, 2021, shareholders approved the cancellation of 14,465,400 shares repurchased under our share repurchase program during the first six months of 2021. The capital reduction by cancellation of shares was subject to publication requirements and a two-month waiting period in accordance with Swiss law and became effective on January 17, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, 10,346,200 shares were repurchased, 14,465,400 shares were canceled, and 2,247,675 net shares were issued under employee share-based compensation plans. At June 30, 2022, 41,081,627 Common Shares remain in treasury.
Chubb Limited securities repurchase authorizations
The Board has authorized share repurchase programs as follows:
•$1.5 billion of Chubb Common Shares from November 19, 2020 through December 31, 2021;

9. Share-based compensation
The Chubb Limited 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the Amended 2016 LTIP), permits grants of both incentive and non-qualified stock options 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. Stock options typically vest in equal annual installments over the respective vesting period, which is also the requisite service period. On February 24, 2022, Chubb granted 1,699,554 stock options with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $35.21 each. The fair value of the options issued is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Chubb Limited and Subsidiaries
The Amended 2016 LTIP also permits grants of service-based restricted stock and restricted stock units as well as performance-based restricted stock awards. Chubb generally grants service-based restricted stock and restricted stock units with a 4-year vesting period, based on a graded vesting schedule. The performance-based restricted stock awards granted comprise target awards and premium awards that cliff vest at the end of a 3-year performance period based on both tangible book value (shareholders' equity less goodwill and intangible assets, net of tax) per share growth and P&C combined ratio compared to a defined group of peer companies. Premium awards are subject to an additional vesting provision based on total shareholder return compared to our peer group. The restricted stock is principally granted at market close price on the grant date. On February 24, 2022, Chubb granted 807,194 service-based restricted stock awards, 295,301 service-based restricted stock units, and 294,229 performance-based stock awards to employees and officers with a grant date fair value of $199.03 each. Each restricted stock unit represents our obligation to deliver to the holder one Common Share upon vesting.

This line item also includes net income of $15 million and $55 million attributable to our investments in Huatai (Huatai Group, Huatai P&C, and Huatai Life) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $49 million and $98 million, respectively, for the prior year periods.
(2) Related to gains (losses) from fair value changes in separate account assets that do not qualify for separate account reporting under GAAP.

Other income and expense includes equity in net income of partially-owned entities, which includes our share of net income or loss, both underlying operating income and mark-to-market movement, related to partially-owned investment companies (private equity) and partially-owned insurance companies. Also included in Other income and expense are gains (losses) from fair value changes in separate account assets that do not qualify for separate account reporting under GAAP. The offsetting movement in the separate account liabilities is included in Policy benefits in the Consolidated statements of operations. Certain federal excise and capital taxes incurred as a result of capital management initiatives are included in Other income and expense as these are considered capital transactions and are excluded from underwriting results. Bad debt expense for uncollectible premiums is also included in Other income and expense.
12. 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 results primarily include income and expenses not attributable to reportable segments and losses and loss expenses of asbestos and environmental (A&E) liabilities and certain other non-A&E run-off exposures.
Management uses underwriting income (loss) as the basis for segment performance. Chubb calculates underwriting income (loss) by subtracting Losses and loss expenses, Policy benefits, Policy acquisition costs, and Administrative expenses from Net premiums earned. Segment income (loss) includes underwriting income (loss), net investment income (loss), and other operating income and expense items such as each segment's share of the operating income (loss) related to partially-owned entities and miscellaneous income and expense items for which the segments are held accountable. Our main measure of segment performance is Segment income (loss), which also includes amortization of purchased intangibles acquired by the segment. We determined that this definition of segment income (loss) is appropriate and aligns with how the business is managed. We continue to evaluate our segments as our business continues to evolve and may further refine our segments and segment income (loss) measures.
Revenue and expenses managed at the corporate level, including net realized gains (losses), interest expense, Cigna integration expenses, and income tax are reported within Corporate. Cigna integration expenses are one-time costs that are directly attributable to third-party consulting fees and other professional and legal fees related to the acquisition of Cigna's life and non-life insurance companies in six Asia-Pacific markets. These items are not allocated to the segment level as they are one-time in nature and are not related to the ongoing business activities of the segment. The Chief Executive Officer does not manage segment results or allocate resources to segments when considering these costs, and therefore are excluded from our definition of segment income (loss).
Certain items are presented in a different manner for segment reporting purposes than in the Consolidated Financial Statements. These items are reconciled to the consolidated presentation in the Segment measure reclass column below and include:
•Losses and loss expenses include realized gains and losses on crop derivatives. These derivatives were purchased to provide economic benefit, in a manner similar to reinsurance protection, in the event that a significant decline in commodity pricing impacts underwriting results. We view gains and losses on these derivatives as part of the results of our underwriting operations, and therefore realized gains (losses) from these derivatives are reclassified to losses and loss expenses.
•Policy benefits include fair value changes on separate accounts that do not qualify for separate accounting under GAAP. These gains and losses have been reclassified from Other (income) expense. We view gains and losses from fair value changes in both separate account assets and liabilities as part of the results of our underwriting operations, and therefore these gains and losses are reclassified to policy benefits.
•Net investment income includes investment income reclassified from Other (income) expense related to partially-owned investment companies (private equity partnerships) where our ownership interest is in excess of three percent. We view investment income from these equity-method private equity partnerships as net investment income for segment reporting purposes.

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

Financial Highlights for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022
•Net income was $1.2 billion compared with $2.3 billion in the prior year period. Net income in the current quarter was driven by strong underwriting results, including growth in net premiums earned and improvements in our combined ratios. Net income is lower compared to prior year, reflecting the after-tax mark-to-market losses on public and private equities of $345 million and $144 million, respectively, compared to gains of $82 million and $712 million, respectively, in the prior year. Additionally, losses in the fixed income portfolio were higher year-over-year by $362 million after-tax.
•Consolidated net premiums written were $10.3 billion, up 7.9 percent, or 10.0 percent in constant dollars, primarily from growth in commercial lines and consumer lines of 10.6 percent and 2.5 percent, respectively, or 12.1 percent and 5.5 percent in constant dollars, respectively.
•Consolidated net premiums earned were $9.6 billion, up 8.4 percent, or 10.7 percent in constant dollars. Commercial lines growth was 13.0 percent, or 14.8 percent in constant dollars, while consumer lines were essentially flat, or up 2.8 percent in constant dollars.
•Total pre-tax and after-tax catastrophe losses were $291 million (3.2 percentage points of the P&C combined ratio) and $241 million, respectively, compared with $280 million (3.4 percentage points of the P&C combined ratio) and $226 million, respectively, in the prior year period. Catastrophe losses in the current quarter were from weather-related events globally with approximately 79 percent in the U.S. and 21 percent internationally.
•Total pre-tax and after-tax favorable prior period development were $247 million (2.7 percentage points of the P&C combined ratio) and $205 million, respectively, including pre-tax adverse development of $155 million for molestation claims, predominantly reviver statute-related. Excluding the adverse development, we had pre-tax favorable development of
$402 million, with 59 percent in long-tail lines, and 41 percent in short-tail lines. This compares with pre-tax and after-tax favorable prior period development of $268 million (3.3 percentage points of the P&C combined ratio) and $224 million, respectively, in the prior year period.
•The P&C combined ratio was 84.0 percent compared with 85.5 percent in the prior year period. The P&C current accident year (CAY) combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses was 83.5 percent compared with 85.4 percent in the prior year period. The current year ratios decreased due to underlying loss ratio improvement, including earned rate exceeding lost cost trends, and the favorable impact of higher net premiums earned on the expense ratio.
•Net investment income was a record $888 million compared with $884 million in the prior year period.
•Operating cash flow was $2.7 billion for the quarter compared with $3.1 billion in the prior year period.
•Shareholders' equity decreased by $5.0 billion in the quarter, as net income of $1.2 billion was more than offset by net unrealized losses on investments of $4.1 billion after-tax from rising interest rates and $746 million related to cumulative foreign exchange translation. In addition, shareholders' equity reflected total capital returned to shareholders in the quarter of $1.5 billion, including share repurchases of $1.1 billion, at an average purchase price of $206.11 per share, and dividends of $348 million.

(1)Commercial multiple peril represents retail package business (property and general liability).
(2)For purposes of this schedule only, A&H results from our Combined North America and International businesses, normally included in the Life Insurance and Overseas General Insurance segments, respectively, as well as the A&H results of our North America Commercial P&C segment, are included in Global A&H lines above.
The increase in consolidated net premiums written for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 reflects growth across most lines of business. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, commercial lines growth was 10.6 percent and consumer lines growth was 2.5 percent, or 12.1 percent and 5.5 percent, respectively, on a constant dollar basis, driven by higher new business, positive rate increases, and strong renewal retention.
•Commercial casualty grew primarily in North America, Europe, and Asia, driven by higher new business and strong retention, including exposure and rate increases.
•Workers' compensation growth for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was due to exposure increases in North America.
•Financial lines grew in North America, Asia, and Europe reflecting higher new business, strong retention and positive rate increases.
•Commercial multiple peril increased due to strong new business and renewal retention, including exposure and positive rate increases in North America.
•Property and other short-tail lines grew globally due to strong new business and renewal retention, including positive rate increases and increased exposure.
•Agriculture increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 due to underlying growth in crop insurance, reflecting higher commodity prices and policy count growth. Partially offsetting growth for the six months was a return of premium to the U.S. government in the first quarter of 2022 of $161 million.
•Personal lines grew in most regions reflecting new business and strong renewal retention, from both rate and exposure increases, primarily in homeowners and automobile in North America, high net worth and specialty lines in Asia, and specialty lines and automobile in Latin America. Partially offsetting growth in North America were additional cancellations in parts of California exposed to wildfires.
•Global A&H lines grew in Asia, Latin America, Europe, and Japan on a constant dollar basis, driven by higher new business and recovery from less travel volume and reduced consumer activity in the prior year. Our North American Combined Insurance supplemental A&H business decreased primarily due to the non-renewal of a large program.
•Reinsurance lines decreased for the quarter as the impact of new treaties bound was offset by a one-time portfolio transfer in the prior year. The year-to-date increase reflects continued growth in the portfolio from the impact of new treaties bound in the current year and in 2021; and favorable premium adjustments.
•International life operations declined, as new business in Asia, primarily in Thailand, was offset by lower business in Hong Kong, driven by the continued impact of the pandemic on our agency force, and Latin America, principally reflecting the non-renewal of certain large account business in Chile.
For additional information on net premiums written, refer to the segment results discussions.
Net Premiums Earned
Net premiums earned for short-duration contracts, typically P&C contracts, generally reflect the portion of net premiums written that was recorded as revenues for the period as the exposure periods expire. Net premiums earned for long-duration contracts, typically traditional life contracts, generally are recognized as earned when due from policyholders. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, net premiums earned increased $744 million, or 8.4 percent, comprising 13.0 percent positive growth in commercial lines, or 14.8 percent in constant dollars, while consumer lines were flat, or up 2.8 percent in constant dollars, as the acceleration of growth in net premiums written described above are not yet reflected in net premiums earned. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net premiums earned increased $1,269 million, or 7.4 percent, comprising 11.5 percent positive growth in commercial lines, or 13.0 percent in constant dollars, while consumer lines were flat, or up 2.7 percent in constant dollars.
Catastrophe Losses and Prior Period Development
We generally define catastrophe loss events consistent with the definition of the Property Claims Service (PCS) for events in the U.S. and Canada. PCS defines a catastrophe as an event that causes damage of $25 million or more in insured losses and affects a significant number of insureds. For events outside of the U.S. and Canada, we generally use a similar definition. We also define losses from certain pandemics, such as COVID-19, as a catastrophe loss.
Prior period development includes adjustments relating to either profit commission reserves or policyholder dividend reserves based on actual claim experience that develops after the policy period ends. The expense adjustments correlate to the prior period loss development on these same policies. Refer to the Non-GAAP Reconciliation section for further information on reinstatement premiums on catastrophe losses and adjustments to prior period development.

Catastrophe losses through June 30, 2022 and 2021 were primarily from the following events:
•2022: Severe weather-related events in the U.S. and internationally, Australia storms, and Colorado wildfires.
•2021: Winter storm losses in the U.S. and other severe weather-related events in the U.S. and internationally.
Prior period development (PPD) arises from changes to loss estimates recognized in the current year that relate to loss events that occurred in previous calendar years and excludes the effect of losses from the development of earned premium from previous accident years.
Pre-tax net favorable PPD for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $247 million, including adverse development of $155 million for molestation claims, predominantly reviver statute-related. Excluding the adverse development, we had favorable development of $402 million, with 59 percent in long-tail lines, principally from accident years 2017 and prior, and 41 percent in short-tail lines, primarily in A&H, specialty, and automobile lines.
Pre-tax net favorable PPD for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $487 million, including adverse development of $155 million for molestation claims described above, predominantly reviver statute-related. This molestation adverse development includes no change to the previously established reserve for the Boy Scouts of America settlement. Excluding the adverse development, we had favorable development of $642 million with 39 percent in long-tail lines, principally from accident years 2017 and prior, and 61 percent in short-tail lines, primarily in A&H, property, and specialty lines.
Pre-tax net favorable PPD for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $268 million, including adverse development of $68 million for molestation claims. Excluding the adverse development, we had favorable development of $336 million with 28 percent in long-tail lines, principally from accident years 2017 and prior, and 72 percent in short-tail lines, primarily in A&H, property, and surety lines.
Pre-tax net favorable PPD for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $460 million, including adverse development of $68 million for molestation claims described above. Excluding the adverse development, we had favorable development of $528 million with 25 percent in long-tail lines, principally from accident years 2017 and prior, and 75 percent in short-tail lines, primarily in A&H, property, and surety lines.
Refer to the prior period development discussion in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
P&C Combined Ratio
In evaluating our segments excluding Life Insurance financial performance, we use the P&C combined ratio. We calculate this ratio by dividing the respective expense amounts by net premiums earned. We do not calculate this ratio for the Life Insurance segment as we do not use this measure to monitor or manage that segment. A P&C combined ratio under 100 percent indicates underwriting income, and a combined ratio exceeding 100 percent indicates underwriting loss.

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

Premiums
Net premiums written increased $380 million, or 8.9 percent, and $755 million, or 9.5 percent, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, comprising:
•Commercial lines: Positive growth of 8.7 percent and 9.6 percent, respectively, reflecting strong premium retention, including both rate and exposure increases, as well as new business across a number of retail and wholesale lines, including property, primary and excess casualty, commercial multiple peril, surety, and financial lines. Growth for the six months ended June 30, 2022 also reflects strong premium retention, including rate and exposure increases, from workers’ compensation.
•Consumer lines: Positive growth of 11.6 percent and 7.9 percent, respectively, due to recovery in A&H lines from exposure declines in the prior year and strong new business.
Net premiums earned increased $445 million, or 11.7 percent, and $885 million, or 11.8 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, reflecting the growth in net premiums written described above.
Combined Ratio
The loss and loss expense ratio decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, reflecting lower catastrophe losses, higher favorable prior period development, and earned rate exceeding loss cost trends.
The administrative expense ratio was relatively flat for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to the favorable impact of higher net premiums earned, offset by higher employee-related expenses and increased investment to support growth.
North America Personal P&C Insurance
The North America Personal P&C Insurance segment comprises operations that provide high net worth personal lines products, including homeowners and complementary products such as valuable articles, excess liability, automobile, and recreational marine insurance and services in the U.S. and Canada.

Premiums
Net premiums written increased $63 million, or 4.7 percent, and $145 million, or 5.9 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, primarily driven by new business and strong renewal retention, from both rate and exposure increases, primarily in homeowners and automobile; partially offset by additional cancellations in parts of California exposed to wildfires.
Net premiums earned increased $47 million, or 3.9 percent, and $110 million, or 4.6 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, reflecting the growth in net premiums written described above.
Combined Ratio
The loss and loss expense ratio increased for the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily from higher catastrophe losses and lower favorable prior period development. The loss and loss expense ratio decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2022, reflecting lower catastrophe losses compared to the prior year, partially offset by lower favorable prior period development. The CAY loss ratio excluding catastrophe losses was flat for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, reflecting slightly higher losses in automobile, offset by earned rate exceeding loss cost trends in homeowners.
The policy acquisition cost ratio increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to a higher year-over-year amount of supplemental commissions.
The administrative expense ratio increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to increased investment to support growth and higher employee-related expenses.
North America Agricultural Insurance
The North America Agricultural Insurance segment comprises our North American based businesses that provide a variety of coverages in the U.S. and Canada including crop insurance, primarily Multiple Peril Crop Insurance (MPCI) and crop-hail through Rain and Hail Insurance Service, Inc. (Rain and Hail) as well as farm and ranch and specialty P&C commercial insurance products and services through our Chubb Agribusiness unit.

Refer to the prior period development discussion in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Premiums
Net premiums written increased $226 million, or 44.0 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to an increase in MPCI, primarily reflecting higher commodity prices and policy count growth. Net premiums written increased $105 million, or 15.1 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to an increase in MPCI due to the factors noted above, partly offset by a return of premium to the U.S. government in the first quarter of 2022 of $161 million. Under the profit-sharing agreement, we returned additional premiums to the government because of the lower losses experienced in certain states in 2021. This return of premium reduced net premiums written growth for the six months ended June 30, 2022 by 23.2 percentage points.
Net premiums earned increased $163 million, or 39.6 percent, and increased $24 million, or 4.6 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, reflecting the growth in net premiums written described above.
Combined Ratio
The combined ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2022, was impacted by the return of premium to the U.S. government under the profit-sharing agreement related to the profitable 2021 crop year described above. This prior period development resulted in a reduction to net premiums earned of $161 million and a corresponding reduction to incurred losses, with no net impact to underwriting income.
The loss and loss expense ratio increased for the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily from higher catastrophe losses. The loss and loss expense ratio decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to the impact of the return of premium described above. The CAY loss ratio excluding catastrophe losses was relatively flat for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
The policy acquisition cost ratio decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to the favorable impact of higher net premiums earned from MPCI. The policy acquisition cost ratio increased for the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to the impact of the return of premium described above. The CAY policy acquisition cost ratio, which excludes the unfavorable impact of catastrophe losses and prior period development of 1.7 percentage points, decreased 1.3 percentage points for the six months ended June 30, 2022, mainly due to the favorable impact of higher net premiums earned from MPCI.
The administrative expense ratio decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, reflecting the favorable impact of higher net premiums earned from MPCI, higher Administrative and Operating (A&O) reimbursements on the MPCI business, and strong expense management.

Premiums
Overall, net premiums written increased $143 million and $332 million, or $292 million and $619 million on a constant dollar basis, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, reflecting growth in both commercial and consumer lines. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, commercial lines grew 7.0 percent and 7.9 percent, or 13.0 percent and 13.3 percent on a constant-dollar basis, respectively, and consumer lines grew 3.9 percent and 3.4 percent, or 11.6 percent and 10.2 percent on a constant-dollar basis, respectively.
Growth in our European division for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was supported by both our wholesale and retail divisions. This growth was primarily driven by higher new business, premium retention, and positive rate increases in commercial lines, including commercial property and casualty, and financial lines. Consumer lines increased primarily due to A&H, reflecting increased travel volume. Additionally, A&H in the prior year was adversely impacted by restrictions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Latin America increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 driven by growth in consumer lines, including automobile in personal and travel in A&H. Commercial lines also grew due to exposure increases, positive rate increases, and new business, primarily property.
Asia Pacific increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 driven by higher new business, higher retention and positive rate increases in commercial lines, including property and casualty, financial lines, and growth in consumer lines, primarily specialty and high net worth in personal, and travel in A&H.
Japan increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 on a constant-dollar basis primarily from new business in A&H.
Net premiums earned increased $117 million and $267 million, or $270 million and $531 million on a constant-dollar basis, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, reflecting the increase in net premiums written described above.
Combined Ratio
The loss and loss expense ratio decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2022, due to underlying loss ratio improvement and higher favorable prior period development, partially offset by higher catastrophe losses. The loss and loss expense ratio increased for the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to higher catastrophe losses, partially offset by higher
favorable prior period development. The CAY loss ratio excluding catastrophe losses decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily reflecting underlying loss ratio improvement, including earned rate exceeding loss cost trends.
The policy acquisition cost ratio decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to a change in the mix of business, including higher premiums earned from commercial lines that have a lower acquisition cost ratio than consumer lines.
The administrative expense ratio decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, reflecting continued expense management control and the favorable impact of higher net premiums earned.

Catastrophe losses through June 30, 2022 were primarily from storms in Australia. Catastrophe losses through June 30, 2021 were primarily from winter storm losses in the U.S.
Premiums
Net premiums written decreased $12 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as the impact of new treaties bound was offset by a one-time portfolio transfer in the prior year. Net premiums written increased $34 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to continued growth in the portfolio reflecting the impact of new treaties bound in the current year and in 2021, and favorable premium adjustments.
Net premiums earned increased $30 million and $85 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, primarily reflecting the factors as described above. The change was also due to the impact of higher new business written in the prior year for which premiums are earned in the current year.
Combined Ratio
The loss and loss expense ratio increased for the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to unfavorable prior period development in the current year. The loss and loss expense ratio decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to lower catastrophe losses, partially offset by unfavorable prior period development in the current year. The CAY loss ratio excluding catastrophe losses decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to a shift in the mix of business.
The policy acquisition cost ratio increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to a shift in the mix of business.
The administrative expense ratio decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily from the favorable impact of higher net premiums earned.
Life Insurance
The Life Insurance segment comprises our international life operations, Chubb Tempest Life Re (Chubb Life Re), and the North American supplemental A&H and life business of Combined Insurance. We assess the performance of our life business based on Life Insurance underwriting income, which 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.

Premiums
Net premiums written decreased $44 million and $78 million, or $29 million and $50 million on a constant-dollar basis, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. For our international life operations, net premiums written decreased 4.9 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as growth in Asia from new business, principally in Thailand and Indonesia, was offset by lower business in Hong Kong and Korea, driven by the continued impact of the pandemic on our agency force, and Latin America, principally reflecting the non-renewal of certain large account business in Chile. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net premiums written declined 4.7 percent as growth in Thailand, Taiwan, Indonesia and Vietnam were more than offset by declines in Hong Kong, Korea, and Latin America as noted above. Net premiums written in our North American Combined Insurance business declined 10.2 percent and 8.8 percent, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, primarily due to the non-renewal of a large program.

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

Losses and loss expenses primarily includes unfavorable prior period development for molestation claims.
Administrative expenses were relatively flat for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Administrative expenses increased $14 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to higher employee-related expenses and increased investment to support growth.
Cigna integration expenses are one-time in nature and are not related to the on-going business activities of the segments. The Chief Executive Officer does not manage segment results or allocate resources to segments when considering these costs and they are therefore excluded from our definition of segment income.

Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses) |
We take a long-term view with our investment strategy, and our investment managers manage our investment portfolio to maximize total return within specific guidelines designed to minimize risk. The majority of our investment portfolio is available for sale and reported at fair value. Our held to maturity investment portfolio is reported at amortized cost, net of valuation allowance.
The effect of market movements on our fixed maturities portfolio impacts Net income (through Net realized gains (losses)) when securities are sold, when we write down an asset, or when we record a change to the valuation allowance for expected credit losses. For a further discussion related to how we assess the valuation allowance for expected credit losses and the related impact on Net income, refer to Note 1 e) to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2021 Form 10-K. Additionally, Net income is impacted through the reporting of changes in the fair value of equity securities, private equity funds where we own less than three percent, and derivatives, including financial futures, options, swaps, and GLB reinsurance. Changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation on available for sale securities, resulting from the revaluation of securities held, changes in cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment, and unrealized postretirement benefit obligations liability adjustment, are reported as separate components of Accumulated other comprehensive income in Shareholders’ equity in the Consolidated balance sheets.
The following tables present our net realized and unrealized gains (losses):

Pre-tax net unrealized losses of $4,344 million and $8,996 million in our investment portfolio for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, were principally the result of an increase in interest rates. In addition, there were realized losses of $782 million and $760 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, primarily from mark-to-market losses on public equities and sales in fixed income securities.
The variable annuity reinsurance derivative transactions consist of changes in the fair value of GLB liabilities and gains or losses on other derivative instruments we maintain that decrease in fair value when the S&P 500 index increases. The variable annuity reinsurance derivative transactions resulted in realized gains of $1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, reflecting a net loss of $143 million, primarily from an increase in the fair value of the GLB liabilities, and a net realized gain of $144 million related to these derivative instruments. The variable annuity reinsurance derivative transactions resulted in realized gains of $78 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, reflecting a net loss of $108 million, primarily from an increase in the fair value of the GLB liabilities, and a net realized gain of $186 million related to these derivative instruments. The increase in the fair value of the GLB liabilities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily due to lower global equity markets and higher volatility, partially offset by higher interest rates.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the variable annuity reinsurance derivative transactions resulted in realized losses of $72 million, reflecting principally a net realized loss of $64 million related to these other derivatives. The fair value of the GLB liabilities remained relatively flat for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as the impact of higher global equity markets was offset by lower interest rates. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the variable annuity reinsurance derivative transactions resulted in realized gains of $203 million reflecting a net gain of $311 million principally related to a decrease in the fair value of the GLB liabilities due to higher interest rates and higher global equity markets, partially offset by a net realized loss of $108 million related to these other derivatives.

Effective Income Tax Rate |
Our effective tax rate (ETR) reflects a mix of income or losses in jurisdictions with a wide range of tax rates, permanent differences between GAAP and local tax laws, and the impact of discrete items. A change in the geographic mix of earnings could impact our ETR.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 our ETR was 19.4 percent and 16.9 percent, respectively. This compares to an ETR of 12.3 percent and 12.5 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The ETR for each period was impacted by our mix of earnings among various jurisdictions and discrete tax benefits.
In presenting our results, we included and discussed certain non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures, which may be defined differently by other companies, are important for an understanding of our overall results of operations and financial condition. However, they should not be viewed as a substitute for measures determined in accordance with GAAP.
Book value per common share is shareholders’ equity divided by the shares outstanding. Tangible book value per common share is shareholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets, net of tax, divided by the shares outstanding. We believe that book value comparisons to less acquisitive peer companies are more meaningful when adjusted for goodwill and other intangible assets. The calculation of tangible book value per share does not consider the embedded goodwill attributable to our investments in partially-owned insurance companies until we consolidate.
We provide financial measures, including net premiums written, net premiums earned, and underwriting income on a constant-dollar basis. We believe it is useful to evaluate the trends in our results exclusive of the effect of fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which our international business is transacted, as these exchange rates could fluctuate significantly between periods and distort the analysis of trends. The impact is determined by assuming constant foreign exchange rates between periods by translating prior period results using the same local currency exchange rates as the comparable current period.
P&C performance metrics comprise consolidated operating results (including Corporate) and exclude the operating results of the Life Insurance segment. We believe that these measures are useful and meaningful to investors as they are used by management to assess the company’s P&C operations which are the most economically similar. We exclude the Life Insurance segment because the results of this business do not always correlate with the results of our P&C operations.
P&C combined ratio is the sum of the loss and loss expense ratio, policy acquisition cost ratio and the administrative expense ratio excluding the life business and including the realized gains and losses on the crop derivatives. These derivatives were purchased to provide economic benefit, in a manner similar to reinsurance protection, in the event that a significant decline in commodity pricing impacts underwriting results. We view gains and losses on these derivatives as part of the results of our underwriting operations.
CAY P&C combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses (CATs) excludes CATs and prior period development (PPD) from the P&C combined ratio. We exclude CATs as they are not predictable as to timing and amount and PPD as these unexpected loss developments on historical reserves are not indicative of our current underwriting performance. The combined ratio numerator is adjusted to exclude CATs, net premiums earned adjustments on PPD, prior period expense adjustments and reinstatement premiums on PPD, and the denominator is adjusted to exclude net premiums earned adjustments on PPD and reinstatement premiums on CATs and PPD. In periods where there are adjustments on loss sensitive policies, these adjustments are excluded from PPD and net premiums earned when calculating the ratios. We believe this measure provides a better evaluation of our underwriting performance and enhances the understanding of the trends in our P&C business that may be obscured by these items. This measure is commonly reported among our peer companies and allows for a better comparison.
Reinstatement premiums are additional premiums paid on certain reinsurance agreements in order to reinstate coverage that had been exhausted by loss occurrences. The reinstatement premium amount is typically a pro rata portion of the original ceded premium paid based on how much of the reinsurance limit had been exhausted.
Net premiums earned adjustments within PPD are adjustments to the initial premium earned on retrospectively rated policies based on actual claim experience that develops after the policy period ends. The premium adjustments correlate to the prior period loss development on these same policies and are fully earned in the period the adjustments are recorded.
Prior period expense adjustments typically relate to adjustable commission reserves or policyholder dividend reserves based on actual claim experience that develops after the policy period ends. The expense adjustments correlate to the prior period loss development on these same policies.
The following tables present the calculation of combined ratio, as reported for each segment to P&C combined ratio, adjusted for CATs and PPD: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

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 0.4 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to higher reinvestment rates on fixed maturities, offset by reduced call activity in fixed income securities, and lower income from equity securities and private equities, which are included in Other investments. Net investment income decreased 2.1 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2022, due to reduced call activity in fixed income securities and lower income from equity securities, and private equities, which are included in Other investments.
For private equities where we own less than three percent, investment income is included within Net investment income in the table above. For private equities where we own more than three percent, investment income is included within Other income (expense) in the Consolidated statements of operations. Excluded from Net investment income is the mark-to-market movement for private equities, which is recorded within either Other income (expense) or Net realized gains (losses) based on our percentage of ownership. The total mark-to-market movement for private equities excluded from Net investment income was as follows:

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

The fair value of our total investments decreased $13.2 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to unrealized losses on fixed maturities, sales of fixed income securities, and share repurchases, partially offset by strong operating cash flows.

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 Chubb European Group SE which is headquartered in France 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 45 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. 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, 2022, our corporate fixed income investment portfolio included below-investment grade and non-rated securities which, in total, comprised approximately 16 percent of our fixed income portfolio. Our below-investment grade and non-rated portfolio includes 1,739 issuers, with the greatest single exposure being $143 million.
We manage high-yield bonds as a distinct and separate asset class from investment grade bonds. The allocation to high-yield bonds is explicitly set by internal management and is targeted to securities in the upper tier of credit quality (BB/B). Our minimum rating for initial purchase is BB/B. Fourteen external investment managers are responsible for high-yield security selection and portfolio construction. Our high-yield managers have a conservative approach to credit selection and very low historical default experience. Holdings are highly diversified across industries and generally subject to a 1.5 percent issuer limit as a percentage of high-yield allocation. We monitor position limits daily through an internal compliance system. Derivative and structured securities (e.g., credit default swaps and collateralized debt obligations) are not permitted in the high-yield portfolio.

Critical Accounting Estimates |
As of June 30, 2022, there were no material changes to our critical accounting estimates. For a full discussion of our critical accounting estimates, refer to Item 7 in our 2021 Form 10-K.
Unpaid losses and loss expenses
As an insurance and reinsurance company, we are required by applicable laws and regulations and GAAP to establish loss and loss expense reserves for the estimated unpaid portion of the ultimate liability for losses and loss expenses under the terms of our policies and agreements with our insured and reinsured customers. With the exception of certain structured settlements, for which the timing and amount of future claim payments are reliably determinable, and certain reserves for unsettled claims, our loss reserves are not discounted for the time value of money.
The following table presents a roll-forward of our unpaid losses and loss expenses:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(in millions of U.S. dollars) | Gross Losses | | Reinsurance Recoverable (1) | | Net Losses |
Balance at December 31, 2021 | $ | 72,943 | | | $ | 16,184 | | | $ | 56,759 | |
Losses and loss expenses incurred | 13,003 | | | 2,808 | | | 10,195 | |
Losses and loss expenses paid | (11,027) | | | (2,180) | | | (8,847) | |
Other (including foreign exchange translation) | (827) | | | (239) | | | (588) | |
Balance at June 30, 2022 | $ | 74,092 | | | $ | 16,573 | | | $ | 57,519 | |
(1)Net of valuation allowance 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).
Refer to Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion on the changes in the loss reserves.
Asbestos and Environmental (A&E)
There was no significant A&E reserve activity during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. A&E reserves are included in Corporate. Refer to our 2021 Form 10-K for further information on our A&E exposures.
Fair value measurements
Accounting guidance defines fair value as the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy based on the reliability of the inputs. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable data (Level 3 inputs). Level 2 includes inputs, other than quoted prices within Level 1, that are observable for assets or liabilities either directly or indirectly. Refer to Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information on our fair value measurements.
We actively monitor and manage our catastrophe risk accumulation around the world from natural perils, including setting risk limits based on probable maximum loss (PML), and purchasing catastrophe reinsurance, to ensure sufficient liquidity and capital to meet the expectations of regulators, rating agencies and policyholders, and to provide shareholders with an appropriate risk-adjusted return. Chubb uses internal and external data together with sophisticated analytical, catastrophe loss and risk modeling techniques to ensure an appropriate understanding of risk, including diversification and correlation effects, across different product lines and territories. The table below presents our modeled pre-tax estimates of natural catastrophe PML, net of reinsurance, at June 30, 2022, and does not represent our expected catastrophe losses for any one year.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Modeled Net Probable Maximum Loss (PML) Pre-tax |
| Worldwide (1) | | U.S. Hurricane (2) | | California Earthquake (3) |
| Annual Aggregate | | Annual Aggregate | | Single Occurrence |
(in millions of U.S. dollars, except for percentages) | Chubb | | % of Total Shareholders’ Equity | | Chubb | | % of Total Shareholders’ Equity | | Chubb | | % of Total Shareholders’ Equity |
1-in-10 | $ | 2,177 | | | 4.2 | % | | $ | 1,132 | | | 2.2 | % | | $ | 146 | | | 0.3 | % |
1-in-100 | $ | 4,558 | | | 8.8 | % | | $ | 2,916 | | | 5.6 | % | | $ | 1,314 | | | 2.5 | % |
1-in-250 | $ | 7,475 | | | 14.5 | % | | $ | 5,443 | | | 10.5 | % | | $ | 1,500 | | | 2.9 | % |
(1) Worldwide aggregate is comprised of losses arising from tropical cyclones, convective storms, earthquakes, U.S. wildfires and inland floods, and excludes "non-modeled" perils such as man-made and other catastrophe risks including pandemic.
(2) U.S. hurricane losses include losses from wind and storm-surge and exclude rainfall.
(3) California earthquakes include the fire-following sub-peril.
The PML for worldwide and key U.S. peril regions are based on our in-force portfolio at April 1, 2022, and reflect the April 1, 2022, reinsurance program (see Global Property Catastrophe Reinsurance Program section) as well as inuring reinsurance protection coverages. These estimates assume that reinsurance recoverable is fully collectible.
According to the model, for the 1-in-100 return period scenario, there is a one percent chance that our pre-tax annual aggregate losses incurred in any year from U.S. hurricane events could be in excess of $2,916 million (or 5.6 percent of our total shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2022). Effective December 31, 2021, our worldwide PMLs include losses from U.S. wildfire and U.S. inland flood.
The above estimates of Chubb’s loss profile are inherently uncertain for many reasons, including the following:
•While the use of third-party modeling packages to simulate potential catastrophe losses is prevalent within the insurance industry, the models are reliant upon significant meteorology, seismology, and engineering assumptions to estimate catastrophe losses. In particular, modeled catastrophe events are not always a representation of actual events and ensuing additional loss potential;
•There is no universal standard in the preparation of insured data for use in the models, the running of the modeling software and interpretation of loss output. These loss estimates do not represent our potential maximum exposures and it is highly likely that our actual incurred losses would vary materially from the modeled estimates;
•The potential effects of climate change add to modeling complexity; and
•Changing climate conditions could impact our exposure to natural catastrophe risks. Published studies by leading government, academic and professional organizations combined with extensive research by Chubb climate scientists reveal the potential for increases in the frequency and severity of key natural perils such as tropical cyclones, inland flood, and wildfire. To understand the potential impacts on the Chubb portfolio, we have conducted stress tests on our peak exposure zone, namely in the U.S., using parameters outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Climate Change 2021 report. These parameters consider the impacts of climate change and the resulting climate peril impacts over a timescale relevant to our business. The tests are conducted by adjusting our baseline view of risk for the perils of hurricane, inland flood, and wildfire in the U.S. to reflect increases in frequency and severity across the modeled domains for each of these perils. Based on these tests against the Chubb portfolio we do not expect material impacts to our baseline PMLs from climate change through December 31, 2022. These tests reflect current exposures only and exclude potentially mitigating factors such as changes to building codes, public or private risk mitigation, regulation and public policy.
Refer to Item 7 in our 2021 Form 10-K for more information on man-made and other catastrophes.

Global Property Catastrophe Reinsurance Program |
Chubb’s core property catastrophe reinsurance program provides protection against natural catastrophes impacting its primary property operations (i.e., excluding our 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, 2022, through March 31, 2023, with no material changes in coverage from the expiring program. The program consists of three layers in excess of losses retained by Chubb on a per occurrence basis. In addition, Chubb renewed its terrorism coverage (excluding nuclear, biological, chemical and radiation coverage, with an inclusion of coverage for biological and chemical coverage for personal lines) for the United States from April 1, 2022, through March 31, 2023 with the same limits and retention and percentage placed except that the majority of terrorism coverage is on an aggregate basis above our retentions without a reinstatement.

(a) Ultimate retention will depend upon the nature of the loss and the interplay between the underlying per risk programs and certain other catastrophe programs purchased by individual business units. These other catastrophe programs have the potential to reduce our effective retention below the stated levels.
(b) These coverages are partially placed with Reinsurers.
(c) These coverages are both part of the same Second layer within the Global Property Catastrophe Reinsurance Program and are fully placed with Reinsurers.
(d) These coverages are both part of the same Third layer within the Global Property Catastrophe Reinsurance Program and are fully placed with Reinsurers.
We anticipate that positive cash flows from operations (underwriting activities and investment income) should be sufficient to cover cash outflows under most loss scenarios for the near term. In addition to cash from operations, routine sales of investments, and financing arrangements, we have agreements with a third-party bank provider which implemented two international multi-currency notional cash pooling programs to enhance cash management efficiency during periods of short-term timing mismatches between expected inflows and outflows of cash by currency. The programs allow us to optimize investment income by avoiding portfolio disruption. Should the need arise, we generally have access to capital markets and to credit facilities with letter of credit capacity of $3.7 billion with a sub-limit of $2.0 billion for revolving credit. At June 30, 2022, our usage under these facilities was $1.3 billion in letters of credit. Our access to credit under these facilities is dependent on the ability of the banks that are a party to the facilities to meet their funding commitments. The facilities require that we maintain certain financial covenants, all of which we met at June 30, 2022. Should the existing credit providers on these facilities experience financial difficulty, we may be required to replace credit sources, possibly in a difficult market. If we cannot obtain adequate capital or sources of credit on favorable terms, on a timely basis, or at all, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected. To date, we have not experienced difficulty accessing our credit facilities.
The payment of dividends or other statutorily permissible distributions from our operating companies are subject to the laws and regulations applicable to each jurisdiction, as well as the need to maintain capital levels adequate to support the insurance and reinsurance operations, including financial strength ratings issued by independent rating agencies. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we were able to meet all our obligations, including the payments of dividends on our Common Shares, with our net cash flows.
We assess which subsidiaries to draw dividends from based on a number of factors. Considerations such as regulatory and legal restrictions as well as the subsidiary’s financial condition are paramount to the dividend decision. Chubb Limited received dividends of $5.8 billion and $1.8 billion from its Bermuda subsidiaries during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Chubb Limited received cash dividends of nil and $21 million and non-cash dividends of nil and $536 million from a Swiss subsidiary during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The U.S. insurance subsidiaries of Chubb INA Holdings Inc. (Chubb INA) may pay dividends, without prior regulatory approval, subject to restrictions set out in state law of the subsidiary’s domicile (or, if applicable, commercial domicile). Chubb INA’s international subsidiaries are also subject to insurance laws and regulations particular to the countries in which the subsidiaries operate. These laws and regulations sometimes include restrictions that limit the amount of dividends payable without prior approval of regulatory insurance authorities. Chubb Limited received no dividends from Chubb INA during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. Debt issued by Chubb INA is serviced by statutorily permissible distributions by Chubb INA’s insurance subsidiaries to Chubb INA as well as other group resources. Chubb INA received $1.8 billion and $470 million from its subsidiaries during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Cash Flows
Our sources of liquidity include cash from operations, routine sales of investments, and financing arrangements. The following is a discussion of our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
Operating cash flows were $5.2 billion in both the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021.
Cash from (used for) investing was $1.1 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $(2.0) billion in the prior period, an increase of $3.1 billion. Cash from investing in the current period included higher net sales of fixed maturities and equity securities of $3.7 billion, partially offset by higher private equity contributions, net of distributions received, of $606 million. In addition, cash used related to acquisitions of Huatai Group ownership interest was $113 million in 2022 compared to $65 million in 2021.
Cash used for financing was $0.7 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $3.0 billion in the prior year period. This decrease of $2.3 billion was the result of an additional $2.0 billion in repurchase agreements which Chubb entered into during the second quarter of 2022 to finance a portion of the acquisition of Cigna's A&H and life business in six Asia-Pacific markets. Chubb uses repurchase agreements as a low-cost funding alternative. At June 30, 2022, there were $3.4 billion in repurchase agreements outstanding with various maturities over the next six months.
Both internal and external forces influence our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Claim settlements, premium levels, and investment returns may be impacted by changing rates of inflation and other economic conditions. In many cases, significant periods of time, ranging up to several years or more, may lapse between the occurrence of an insured loss, the reporting of the loss to us, and the settlement of the liability for that loss.
Capital resources consist of funds deployed or available to be deployed to support our business operations.

The ratios of financial debt to total capitalization in the table above are higher at June 30, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021 from the decline in shareholders' equity, principally reflecting net unrealized depreciation on investments in the current period compared to net unrealized appreciation in 2021.
Repurchase agreements are excluded from the table above and are disclosed separately from short-term debt in the Consolidated balance sheets. The repurchase agreements are collateralized borrowings where we maintain the right and ability to redeem the collateral on short notice, unlike short-term debt which comprises the current maturities of our long-term debt instruments.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased $2.1 billion of Common Shares in a series of open market transactions under the Board of Directors (Board) share repurchase authorization. At June 30, 2022, there were 41,081,627 Common Shares in treasury with a weighted-average cost of $165.36 per share, and $2.5 billion in share repurchase authorization remained through June 30, 2023. For the period July 1, 2022 through July 28, 2022, we repurchased 1,513,728 Common Shares for a total of $281 million in a series of open market transactions. At July 28, 2022, $2.2 billion in share repurchase authorization remained.
We generally maintain the ability to issue certain classes of debt and equity securities via a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) shelf registration statement which is renewed every three years. This allows us capital market access for refinancing as well as for unforeseen or opportunistic capital needs.
Dividends
We have paid dividends each quarter since we became a public company in 1993. Under Swiss law, dividends must be stated in Swiss francs though dividend payments are made by Chubb in U.S. dollars. Refer to Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of our dividend methodology.
At our May 2022 annual general meeting, our shareholders approved an annual dividend for the following year of up to $3.32 per share, or CHF 3.22 per share, calculated using the USD/CHF exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on May 19, 2022, expected to be paid in four quarterly installments of $0.83 per share after the general meeting by way of a distribution from capital contribution reserves, transferred to free reserves for payment. The Board determines the record and payment dates at which the annual dividend may be paid until the date of the 2023 annual general meeting, and is authorized to abstain from distributing a dividend at its discretion. The annual dividend approved in May 2022 represented a $0.12 per share increase ($0.03 per quarter) over the prior year dividend.
The following table represents dividends paid per Common Share to shareholders of record on each of the following dates:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
Refer to Item 7A included in our 2021 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. We occasionally engage in hedging activity 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 2021 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, 2021, balances disclosed in the 2021 Form 10-K.
Effective April 1, 2022, Turkey was designated as a highly inflationary economy and therefore we changed the functional currency for our Turkish operations from the Turkish lira to the U.S. dollar. Our net assets denominated in the Turkish lira represent less than 0.1% of consolidated shareholders’ equity. Therefore, this change in the functional currency of our Turkish operations did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
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 realized gains (losses) and net income for GLB and both Life Insurance underwriting income and net income for GMDB. 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.
For the GMDB reinsurance business, net income is directly impacted by changes in future policy benefit reserves. For the GLB reinsurance business, 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 calculation is 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, and policyholder mortality.
The tables below are estimates of the sensitivities to instantaneous changes in economic inputs (e.g., equity shock, interest rate shock etc.) at June 30, 2022, 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:
•Equity shocks impact all global equity markets equally
•Our liabilities are sensitive to global equity markets in the following proportions: 80 percent—90 percent U.S. equity, and 10 percent—20 percent international equity.
•Our current hedge portfolio is sensitive only to U.S. equity markets.
•We would suggest using the S&P 500 index as a proxy for U.S. equity, and the MSCI EAFE index as a proxy for international 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: 5 percent—15 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 impacts the rate used to discount cash flows in the fair value model. AA-rated credit spreads are a proxy for both our own credit spreads and the credit spreads of the ceding insurers.
•The hedge sensitivity is from June 30, 2022, market levels and only applicable to the equity and interest rate sensitivities table below.
•The sensitivities do not scale linearly and may be proportionally greater for larger movements in the market factors. Actual sensitivity of our net income may differ from those disclosed in the tables below due to fluctuations in short-term market movements.

All our variable annuity reinsurance treaties include annual or aggregate claim limits and many include an aggregate deductible which limit the net amount at risk under these programs. For an estimated impact on the variable annuity net amount at risk from changes in equity market levels, refer to Item 7A in our 2021 Form 10-K. This information will be updated and disclosed in interim filings if the sensitivities change materially from the tables disclosed in the 2021 Form 10-K.
