(1) The Largest Reinsurers includes all reinsurers where gross recoverable exceeds 1% of ACE Shareholders’ equity. Total ACE Shareholders’ Equity at June 30, 2008 was $16.327 billion.

(2) Others principally includes amounts recoverable that are in dispute, or are from companies who are in supervision, rehabilitation, or liquidation. Our estimate of provision for uncollectible reinsurance associated with Others considers the merits of the underlying matter, the credit quality of the reinsurer, and whether we have received collateral or other credit protections such as multi-beneficiary trusts and parental guarantees.

(3) The Largest Reinsurers includes all reinsurers where gross recoverable (net of collateral) exceeds 1% of ACE Shareholders’ equity. The largest reinsurers account for 57.8% of total recoverables at June 30, 2008.

(4) S&P and AM Best ratings based on each group’s predominant reinsurer.

(5) See MD&A reported in the 2007 Form 10-K for a discussion on how ACE determines the provision for uncollectible reinsurance.

(6) Gross recoverables with American International Group (AIG) were $544.6 million at June 30, 2008, of which $420.8 million (77.3%) were with Transatlantic Rein Co.

ACE Limited Investment Portfolio - 3 (in millions of U.S. dollars) (Unaudited)

Mortgage-backed and Asset-backed Fixed Income Portfolio

Market Value at September 30, 2008

Mortgage-backed securities total $12.5 billion, are rated predominantly AAA and comprise 32% of the fixed income portfolio. This compares to a 45% mortgage-backed weighting in representative indices of the U.S. fixed income market. The minimum rating for initial purchases of mortgage and asset backed securities is AAA.

ACE suspended new investments in ALT-A, credit card, auto and subprime backed securities in 1Q2008.

Securities issued by Federal agencies with implied or explicit government guarantees total $7.8 billion and represent 77% of the residential mortgage-backed portfolio.

Non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities are rated predominantly AAA, backed by prime collateral and broadly diversified in over 300,000 loans. The portfolio’s loan-to-value ratio is approximately 68% with an average FICO score of 736. With this conservative loan-to-value ratio and subordinated collateral of 12%, the cumulative 5-year foreclosure rate would have to rise to 28% and real estate values would have to fall 61% before principal is impaired. The comparable historical cumulative foreclosure rate is 2.5% for prime mortgages.

Within the portfolio of prime AAA non-agency RMBS are $197 million of holdings classified as ALT-A. These ALT-A holdings are broadly diversified with over 69% issued prior to 2006. The average FICO score is 714 with a relatively conservative loan-to-value ratio of 71%. With subordinated collateral of 21%, the cumulative 4-year foreclosure rate would have to rise to 50% and real estate values would have to fall more than 59% before principal is impaired. The comparable historical cumulative foreclosure rate is approximately 8%.

Commercial mortgage-backed securities of $2.3 billion are rated predominantly AAA, broadly diversified with over 26,000 loans and seasoned with 71% of the portfolio issued before 2006. The average loan-to-value ratio is approximately 63% with a debt service coverage ratio in excess of 1.7 and weighted average subordinated collateral of 26%. The cumulative foreclosure rate would have to rise to 61% and commercial real estate values would have to fall more than 64% before principal is impaired. The historical annual delinquency rate is 1%.

Subprime asset-backed securities (current holdings of $100 million) are rated predominantly AA, broadly diversified in over 125,000 loans with an average loan-to-value ratio of approximately 80% and an average FICO score of 610. With subordinated collateral of 34%, the cumulative 5-year foreclosure rate would have to rise to 79% and real estate values would have to fall more than 54% before principal is impaired. The comparable historical cumulative 5-year foreclosure rate is 27%. The ratings have been reaffirmed on substantially all of these securities.

Auto loan asset-backed securities are rated predominantly AAA with a short duration of approximately 0.8 years and average subordinated collateral of 12%. Annual default rates would have to rise to 8 times their historic average of 1.5% before principal is impaired.

U.S. Investment Grade Corporate Fixed Income Portfolio

The average credit quality of ACE’s US investment grade bond portfolio is very high at AA+. 66% of investment grade securities holdings are rated AAA or guaranteed by governments or quasi-government agencies.

ACE prohibits investments in complex structured securities (e.g. CDOs, CLOs) and over-the-counter derivatives and does not permit the use of portfolio leverage.

Corporate bond holdings are highly diversified across industries and geographies. Issuer limits are based on credit rating (AA 2%, A 1%, BBB .5% of total portfolio) and are monitored on a daily basis by ACE via an internal compliance system.

Below Investment Grade Corporate Fixed income Portfolio

ACE manages high yield bonds as a distinct and separate asset class from investment grade bonds. ACE’s 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.

Four external investment managers are responsible for high yield security selection and portfolio construction.

ACE’s high yield managers have a conservative approach to credit selection and very low historical default experience.

Securities holdings are highly diversified across industries and are subject to a 1.5% issuer limit as a percentage of high yield allocation (or 0.1% of total portfolio). The portfolio is comprised of over 500 issuers with our largest current issuer exposure at $38 million. ACE monitors position limits on a daily basis through an internal compliance system.

Derivative and structured securities (e.g. credit default swaps, CLOs) are not permitted in high yield portfolios.

Average credit quality of non-US fixed income securities is very high at AA and 54% of holdings are rated AAA or guaranteed by governments or quasi-government agencies.

ACE Limited Non-GAAP Financial Measures (in millions of U.S. dollars) (Unaudited)

Regulation G - Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In presenting our results, we have 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. However, they should not be viewed as a substitute for measures determined in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of book value per share is provided on page 30.

In presenting our segment operating results, we have shown our performance with reference to underwriting results. Underwriting results are calculated by subtracting losses and loss expenses, future policy benefits, policy acquisition costs, and administrative expenses from net premiums earned. We use underwriting results and operating ratios to monitor the results of our operations without the impact of certain factors, including investment income, other income and expenses, interest and income tax expense, and net realized gains (losses).

The following non-GAAP measure is a common performance measurement and is defined as income excluding net realized gains (losses) and the related tax expense (benefit). We believe this presentation enhances the understanding of our results of operations by highlighting the underlying profitability of our insurance business. We exclude net realized gains (losses) and net realized gains (losses) included in other income (expense) related to partially owned insurance companies because the amount of these gains (losses) is heavily influenced by, and fluctuates in part according to, the availability of market opportunities. Income excluding net realized gains (losses) should not be viewed as a substitute for net income determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
