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 2020 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 30December 31
(in millions of U.S. dollars)20212020
Cash$1,843 $1,747 
Restricted cash155 89 
Total cash and restricted cash shown in the Consolidated statements of cash flows$1,998 $1,836 

c) Goodwill
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, Goodwill increased $106 million, 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

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 17 million customers in China. In November 2020, we completed the purchase of an incremental 0.9 percent ownership interest in Huatai Group for approximately $65 million, which was paid in January 2021.

As of June 30, 2021, Chubb's aggregate ownership interest in Huatai Group was approximately 47.1 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. In 2019, Chubb entered into an agreement to acquire an additional 7.1 percent ownership interest in Huatai Group. The purchase of the additional 7.1 percent ownership interest is contingent upon important conditions. Upon completion of the 7.1 percent purchase, Chubb is expected to obtain majority ownership of Huatai Group and control of Huatai. At that time, Chubb is expected to apply consolidation accounting and discontinue the application of the equity method of accounting.

Expected maturities could differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations, with or without call or prepayment penalties. 

b) Gross unrealized loss
Fixed maturities in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2021 comprised both investment grade and below investment grade securities for which fair value declined primarily due to widening credit spreads since the date of purchase.

The following tables present, for Available for Sale (AFS) fixed maturities in an unrealized loss position (including securities on loan) that are not deemed to have expected credit losses, the aggregate fair value and gross unrealized loss by length of time the security has continuously been in an unrealized loss position:

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:
Financialtargeting financial services companies, such as financial institutions and insurance services worldwide
Real Assetstargeting investments related to hard, physical assets, such as real estate, infrastructure and natural resources
Distressedtargeting distressed corporate debt/credit and equity opportunities in the U.S.
Private Credittargeting privately originated corporate debt investments, including senior secured loans and subordinated bonds
Traditionalemploying traditional private equity investment strategies, such as buyout and growth equity globally
Vintagefunds 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

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

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

Investment derivative instruments
Actively traded investment derivative instruments, including futures, options, and forward contracts are classified within Level 1 as fair values are based on quoted market prices. The fair value of cross-currency swaps 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.

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. GLB’s 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).

(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 in line with data received from other ceding companies adjusted, as appropriate, with industry estimates. The model and related assumptions are regularly re-evaluated by management and enhanced, as appropriate, based upon additional experience obtained related to policyholder behavior and availability of updated information such as market conditions, market participant assumptions, and demographics of in-force annuities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, 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 2020 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 professional liability; 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
2021
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, net favorable PPD was $156 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 $96 million in long-tail business, primarily from:

Net favorable development of $137 million in our workers’ compensation lines. This included favorable development of $36 million related to our annual assessment of multi-claimant events including industrial accidents, in the 2020 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 2016 and prior, driven by lower than expected loss experience and related updates to loss development factors;

Net favorable development of $45 million in general liability portfolios, driven by lower than expected paid and reported case incurred activity in accident years 2017 and prior, partly offset by higher than expected reported case incurred activity in accident years 2018 and 2019;

Net adverse development of $76 million in commercial automobile liability, driven by adverse reported loss experience, mainly impacting accident years 2017 and 2019; and

Net adverse development of $27 million in high deductible general liability coverages, driven by higher than expected loss severities, mainly impacting accident years 2016 through 2020, partly offset by favorable loss development in older accident years.

Net favorable development of $60 million in short-tail business, primarily from:

Net favorable development of $41 million in surety, $35 million of which was due to lower than expected COVID-19 claim activity in accident year 2020; and

The remaining favorable development is predominantly driven by automobile, which experienced lower than expected claim development related to physical damage coverages in the 2020 accident year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net favorable PPD was $283 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 $40 million in voluntary environmental lines, driven by accident years 2017 and prior, from lower than expected emergence, partly offset by higher than expected development in accident year 2019;

Net favorable development of $37 million in general liability portfolios, driven by lower than expected paid and reported case incurred activity in accident years 2017 and prior, partly offset by higher than expected reported case incurred activity in accident years 2018 and 2019;

Net adverse development of $26 million in high deductible general liability coverages, as described above;

Net adverse development of $43 million in excess and umbrella portfolios, with accident years 2016 through 2019 experiencing higher than expected reported development, partly offset by lower than expected emergence in accident years 2015 and prior; and

Net adverse development of $74 million in commercial automobile liability, due to the same factors experienced for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Net favorable development of $141 million in short-tail business, primarily from:

Net favorable development of $89 million in surety, mainly in accident years 2018 through 2020, driven by lower than expected loss emergence;

Net favorable development of $46 million in accident & health, driven by accident years 2019 and 2020, where loss emergence was lower than expected;

Net favorable development of $29 million in property and marine coverages in accident year 2020, driven by lower than expected loss development; and

Net adverse development of $41 million in first-party cyber risk, driven by accident years 2019 and 2020, which experienced higher than expected loss development as well as heightened frequency and severity.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, net favorable PPD was $146 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 $141 million in long-tail business, primarily from:

Net favorable development of $152 million in our workers’ compensation lines. This included favorable development of $62 million related to our annual assessment of multi-claimant events including industrial accidents, in the 2019 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 2015 and prior, driven by lower than expected loss experience and related updates to loss development factors;

Net favorable development of $59 million in general liability portfolios, mainly driven by lower than expected paid and reported loss experience in accident years 2016 and prior, partly offset by some adverse emergence in accident years 2017 through 2019;

Net adverse development of $75 million in commercial automobile liability, mainly in high deductible and excess portfolios, driven by adverse paid and reported loss experience and related updates to loss development factors, mainly in accident years 2015 through 2019; and

Net adverse development of $5 million for U.S. child molestation claims, predominantly reviver statute-related.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net favorable PPD was $251 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 $36 million in general liability coverages, mainly due to the same factors experienced for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as described above, as well as adverse wholesale general liability results, driven by higher than expected reported loss emergence in accident years 2014 through 2019;

Net adverse development of $75 million in commercial automobile liability, due to the same factors experienced for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as described above;

Net adverse development of $40 million in excess and umbrella portfolios, with accident years 2015 through 2019 experiencing higher than expected reported development, partially offset by lower than expected emergence in accident years 2014 and prior; and

North America Agricultural Insurance
2020
Prior period development in this segment mainly relates to our Multiple Peril Crop Insurance (MPCI) business and was favorable due to better than expected crop yield results in certain states at the prior year-end period (i.e., 2020 results based on 2019 crop year).

Overseas General Insurance
2021
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, net favorable PPD was $156 million, which was the net result of several underlying favorable and adverse movements, and was driven by the following principal changes:

2021
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, net adverse development was $88 million and $97 million, respectively, driven by adverse development of $68 million for molestation claims.The remainder of the adverse development was driven by increased claim costs on non-A&E runoff workers’ compensation exposures, and charges relating to run-off operating expenses incurred.

2020
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, net adverse development was $274 million and $285 million, respectively, driven by adverse development of $254 million for U.S. child molestation claims, predominantly reviver statute-related.

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 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.


28

Table of Contents

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, 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.

Interest rate swaps
An interest rate swap is a contract between two counterparties in which interest payments are made based on a notional principal amount, which itself is never paid or received. Under the terms of an interest rate swap, one counterparty makes interest payments based on a fixed interest rate and the other counterparty’s payments are based on a floating rate. Interest rate swap contracts are used occasionally in our investment portfolio as protection against unexpected shifts in interest rates, which would affect the fair value of the fixed maturity portfolio. By using interest rate swaps in the portfolio, the overall duration or interest rate sensitivity of the portfolio can be impacted.

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

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

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

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

(v) GLB
Under the GLB program, as the assuming entity, Chubb is obligated to provide coverage until the expiration or maturity of the underlying deferred annuity contracts or the expiry of the reinsurance treaty. 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 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, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our repurchase agreement obligations of $1,405 million 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.

(1)Per the repurchase agreements, the amount of collateral posted is required to exceed the amount of gross liability.

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, 2021, we have commitments to purchase fixed income securities of $877 million over the next several years.

e) Other investments
At June 30, 2021, included in Other investments in the Consolidated balance sheet are investments in limited partnerships and partially-owned investment companies with a carrying value of $8.0 billion. In connection with these investments, we have commitments that may require funding of up to $8.0 billion over the next several years. At December 31, 2020, these investments had a carrying value of $6.5 billion with a commitment that may require funding of up to $3.2 billion.

f) Income taxes
At June 30, 2021, $60 million of unrecognized tax benefits remain outstanding. It is reasonably possible that over the next twelve months, that 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) Leases
At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the right-of-use asset was $429 million and $473 million, respectively, recorded within Other assets on the Consolidated balance sheets and the lease liability was $468 million and $517 million, respectively, which was 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, 2021, our Common Shares had a par value of CHF 24.15 per share.

At our May 2021 annual general meeting, our shareholders approved an annual dividend for the following year of up to $3.20 per share, expected to be paid in four quarterly installments of $0.80 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 2022 annual general meeting, and is authorized to abstain from distributing a dividend at its discretion.

At our May 2020 and 2019 annual general meetings, our shareholders approved annual dividends for the following year of up to $3.12 per share and $3.00 per share, respectively, which were paid in four quarterly installments of $0.78 per share and $0.75 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):

CHFUSDCHFUSDCHFUSDCHFUSD
Total dividend distributions per common share0.71 $0.80 0.75 $0.78 1.41 $1.58 1.47 $1.53 

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. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, 14,465,400 shares were repurchased and 2,449,988 net shares were issued under employee share-based compensation plans. At June 30, 2021, 38,888,051 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 21, 2019 through December 31, 2020
$1.5 billion of Chubb Common Shares from November 19, 2020 through December 31, 2021

In February 2021, the Board approved an increase to the November 2020 share repurchase program of $1.0 billion to a total of $2.5 billion, effective through December 31, 2021. Subsequently, on July 19, 2021, the Board authorized a one-time incremental share repurchase program of up to $5.0 billion through June 30, 2022. The $2.5 billion share repurchase authorization will be used prior to the $5.0 billion share repurchase authorization.

9. Share-based compensation

The Chubb Limited 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 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 25, 2021, Chubb granted 1,790,057 stock options with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $33.05 each. The fair value of the options issued is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The 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. Beginning in 2017, 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 granted at market close price on the grant date. On February 25, 2021, Chubb granted 848,762 service-based restricted stock awards, 324,142 service-based restricted stock units, and 284,766 performance-based stock awards to employees and officers with a grant date fair value of $164.94 each. Each restricted stock unit represents our obligation to deliver to the holder one Common Share upon vesting.

In May 2021, our shareholders approved the Chubb Limited 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the Amended 2016 LTIP). Under the Amended 2016 LTIP, the number of Common Shares available for delivery increased by 13.4 million. This is in addition to any shares that remain available for delivery since the initial establishment of the 2016 LTIP, plus any shares covered by outstanding awards granted under the ACE Limited 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan that are forfeited, expired or canceled after the effective date of the Amended 2016 LTIP.

(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. Our main measure of segment performance is Segment income (loss), which also includes Net investment income (loss), Other (income) expense, and 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. 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 gains and losses from fair value changes in separate account assets, as well as the offsetting movement in separate account liabilities. The gains and losses from fair value changes in separate account assets that do not qualify for separate account reporting under GAAP 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.

Financial Highlights for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021

Net income was $2.3 billion compared with a net loss of $331 million in the prior year period. Net income in the current quarter was driven by record underwriting results, record net investment income, and higher income related to our partially-owned companies. Both commercial P&C and consumer lines grew globally, reflecting positive rate increases which exceeded loss cost trend, strong retention and higher new business.

Total pre-tax and after-tax catastrophe losses were $280 million (3.4 percentage points of the combined ratio) and $226 million, respectively, compared with $1.8 billion (23.9 percentage points of the combined ratio) and $1.5 billion, respectively, in the prior year period, which included $1,365 million of pre-tax losses, or $1,157 million after tax, related to COVID-19.
    
Total pre-tax and after-tax favorable prior period development were $268 million (3.3 percentage points of the combined ratio) and $224 million, respectively, compared with unfavorable prior period development of $75 million (1.0 percentage point of the combined ratio) and $52 million, respectively, in the prior year period. The current quarter included a charge of $68 million pre-tax for molestation claims, compared to $259 million in the prior year.

The P&C combined ratio was 85.5 percent compared with 112.3 percent in the prior year period. P&C current accident year combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses was 85.4 percent compared with 87.4 percent in the prior year period. The 2.0 percentage point decrease was substantially driven by improvement in the loss ratio.

Consolidated net premiums written were $9.5 billion, up 14.3 percent, or 11.5 percent in constant dollars. P&C net premiums written were $8.9 billion, up 15.5 percent, or 12.7 percent in constant dollars, comprising positive growth in both commercial P&C lines and consumer lines of 19.9 percent and 5.6 percent, respectively. The increase is primarily due to new business and positive rate increases across most lines and regions. There were two items that also impacted growth including a $184 million reduction in premium due to exposure adjustments on in-force policies resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic in the prior year, which was more than offset by a year-over-year decrease in large structured transactions of $241 million. Excluding these items, P&C net premiums written increased 16.4 percent.

Consolidated net premiums earned were $8.8 billion, up 8.4 percent, or 5.6 percent in constant dollars. P&C net premiums earned increased 9.1 percent, comprising positive growth in both commercial P&C lines and consumer lines of 11.6 percent and 3.8 percent, respectively. Net premiums earned increased due to the same reasons described above for net premiums written, including from the prior year COVID-19 exposure adjustments that depressed prior year growth by $103 million. Partially offsetting the overall growth is the year-over-year decrease in large structured transactions of $241 million, which are fully earned when written.

Net investment income was $884 million compared with $827 million in the prior year period primarily due to higher income received from our private equity partnerships and increased dividends on public equities.

Shareholders' equity increased by $986 million in the quarter, primarily reflecting net income of $2.3 billion and net unrealized gains on investments of $581 million after-tax. Partially offsetting the increase was total capital returned to shareholders in the quarter of $2.3 billion, including share repurchases of $1.9 billion, at an average purchase price of $169.19 per share, and dividends of $352 million. In July 2021, our Board of Directors approved a one-time incremental share repurchase program of up to $5.0 billion through June 30, 2022.

The increase in net premiums written for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 reflects growth across most lines of business.
The growth in commercial casualty was due to new business and positive rate increases, primarily across North America and Europe. Additionally, the prior year included a $58 million reduction in premium due to exposure adjustments on in-force policies resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Partially offsetting growth is the year-over-year decrease in large structured transactions of $178 million. Excluding these items, commercial casualty increased 18.5 percent and 20.7 percent, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.
Workers' compensation growth was due to a reduction in the prior year's premium of $121 million related to exposure adjustments on in-force policies resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by the year-over-year decrease in large structured transactions. Excluding these items, workers’ compensation increased slightly reflecting new business written in small commercial and large risk accounts.
The increase in professional liability was due to new business and positive rate increases in North America, Asia and Europe.
Commercial multiple peril increased due to higher new and renewal business in North America.
Property and other short-tail lines increased due to positive rate increases in Asia, North America and Europe, as well as higher new business in North America and Europe.
Personal lines increased globally primarily reflecting new business in homeowners lines in North America and Latin America and growth in specialty lines in Europe. Growth for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was partially offset by declines in automobile lines in North America and Latin America reflecting reduced exposures from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Global A&H lines decreased due to declines in Asia and Latin America, principally from less travel volume, and in our North American Combined Insurance supplemental A&H program from the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on face-to-face and worksite sales.

Table of Contents





Growth in our international life operations, principally from new business written in Taiwan, Vietnam and Thailand was partially offset by declines in our life reinsurance business that has not written new business since 2007.
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, 2021, net premiums earned increased $685 million, or 8.4 percent, comprising 11.6 percent positive growth in commercial P&C lines and 2.9 percent positive growth in consumer lines. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net premiums earned increased $1,112 million or 7.0 percent, comprising 11.5 percent positive growth in commercial P&C lines and 0.3 percent negative growth in consumer lines. The growth in net premiums earned was adversely impacted by the year-over-year decrease in large structured transactions, which are fully earned when written, partially offset by the prior year COVID-19 exposure adjustments on in-force policies.

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$280 $1,807 $980 $2,044 
Favorable (Unfavorable) prior period development$268 $(75)$460 $43 

Catastrophe losses through June 30, 2021 and 2020 were primarily from the following events:
2021: Winter storm losses in the U.S. and other severe weather-related events in the U.S. and internationally.
2020: COVID-19 pandemic claims of $1,365 million, flooding, hail, tornadoes, and wind events in the U.S., and civil unrest in the U.S.

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, 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 accident and health, 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 accident and health, property, and surety lines.

Pre-tax net adverse PPD for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $75 million, including adverse development of $259 million for U.S. child molestation claims, predominantly reviver statute-related. Excluding the adverse development, we had

favorable development of $184 million split approximately 79 percent long-tail lines, principally from accident years 2016 and prior, and 21 percent short-tail lines.

Pre-tax net favorable PPD for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $43 million, including adverse development of $259 million for U.S. child molestation claims as noted above. Excluding the adverse development, we had favorable development of $302 million split approximately 59 percent long-tail lines, principally from accident years 2016 and prior, and 41 percent short-tail lines.

Refer to the prior period development discussion in Footnote 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 decreased 26.5 percentage points and 11.7 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, primarily due to lower catastrophe losses compared to the prior year which included significant losses related to the COVID-19 pandemic and higher favorable prior period development. The CAY loss ratio excluding catastrophe losses decreased 1.8 percentage points and 1.4 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, reflecting in part, underlying loss ratio improvement.

The policy acquisition cost ratio decreased 0.1 percentage points and 0.4 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, primarily due to a change in the mix of business, including less premiums earned from consumer A&H lines that have a higher acquisition cost ratio and higher premiums earned from commercial P&C lines that have a lower acquisition cost ratio.

The administrative expense ratio decreased 0.2 percentage points and 0.3 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, primarily due to the favorable impact of higher net premiums earned.

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, 2021 and 2020, Policy benefits were $185 million and $223 million, respectively, which included separate account liabilities losses of $15 million and $40 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 $170 million and $183 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, reflecting a decline in our Combined Insurance North America supplemental accident and health business and our life reinsurance business, partially offset by growth in our International Life operations.

Catastrophe losses$165 $1,273 $527 $1,391 
Favorable prior period development$156 $146 $283 $251 

Catastrophe losses through June 30, 2021 and 2020 were primarily from the following events:
2021: Winter storm losses and other severe weather-related events in the U.S.
2020: COVID-19 pandemic claims of $973 million, civil unrest in the U.S. of $118 million, and natural catastrophes including Nashville, Tennessee tornado and other severe weather-related events in the U.S.

Refer to the prior period development discussion in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Premiums
Net premiums written increased $565 million, or 15.2 percent, and $977 million, or 14.0 percent, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, comprising:
Commercial P&C lines: Positive growth of 16.3 percent and 15.6 percent, respectively, reflecting strong premium retention, positive rate increases, and growth in new business written across a number of retail and wholesale lines, including financial lines, property, excess casualty, and primary casualty. In addition, the prior year included a $160 million reduction in premium due to exposure adjustments on in-force policies resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Partially offsetting growth in premium is the year-over-year decrease in large structured transactions of $241 million. Adjusting for both these items, growth in the segment would have been 18.0 percent and 15.5 percent, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.
Consumer lines: Negative growth of 8.9 percent and 14.1 percent, respectively, principally from exposure declines in A&H.

Net premiums earned increased $208 million, or 5.8 percent, and $506 million, or 7.3 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, reflecting the growth in net premiums written described above. In addition, the percentage growth for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was adversely impacted by the year-over-year decrease in large structured transactions described above, which are fully earned when written, partially offset by $95 million of exposure adjustments on in-force policies from the COVID-19 pandemic in the prior year, as described above. Adjusting for both these items, growth would have been 10.4 percent and 9.6 percent, respectively.

Combined Ratio
The loss and loss expense ratio decreased 33.5 percentage points and 14.8 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, primarily due to lower catastrophe losses compared to the prior year which included significant losses related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CAY loss ratio excluding catastrophe losses decreased 2.4 percentage points and 1.6 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. About half of the margin improvement is coming from underlying loss ratio improvement, with the balance due to the favorable impact of lower year-over-year large structured transactions written and non-recurring unfavorable items in the quarter.

The policy acquisition cost ratio decreased 0.2 percentage points and 0.4 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, reflecting a change in mix of business towards lines that have a lower acquisition cost ratio and lower commissions, partly offset by the unfavorable impact of large structured transactions noted above.

The administrative expense ratio decreased 0.5 percentage points and 0.6 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, primarily due to higher net profit from our third-party claims administration business, ESIS, and the favorable impact of higher net premiums earned and continued expense management. The decrease was partially offset by the unfavorable impact of lower year-over-year large structured transactions written.

Premiums
Net premiums written increased $36 million, or 2.6 percent, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily driven by strong renewal retention, from both rate and exposure increases, and new business in homeowners. Partially offsetting the increase was wildfire exposure-related cancellations in parts of California. Net premiums written increased $27 million, or 1.1 percent, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily driven by the factors described above, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of automobile return premiums and the unfavorable impact of reinstatement premiums related to 2021 winter storm losses.

Combined Ratio
The loss and loss expense ratio decreased 8.6 percentage points and increased 1.7 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, reflecting catastrophe losses and higher favorable prior period development. The CAY loss ratio excluding catastrophe losses decreased 1.1 percentage points and 1.5 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, due to lower claim frequency in automobile and in homeowners from underlying loss ratio improvement.

The policy acquisition cost ratio increased 0.6 percentage points and 0.5 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, primarily due to a favorable commission accrual adjustment in the prior year.

Catastrophe losses $4 $$12 $14 
Favorable prior period development $ $— $2 $14 

Catastrophe losses through June 30, 2021 and 2020 were primarily from winter storm losses and other severe weather-related events in the U.S. in Chubb Agribusiness.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net favorable prior period development was $14 million which included $17 million of favorable incurred losses due to lower than expected MPCI losses for the 2019 crop year, partially offset by a $3 million decrease in net premiums earned related to the MPCI profit and loss calculation formula.

Premiums
Net premiums written increased $51 million, or 11.0 percent, and $77 million, or 12.4 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, due to policy count growth and a modest increase in commodity price for winter wheat in our MPCI business. In addition, our Chubb Agribusiness unit contributed to strong new business growth.

Net premiums earned increased $34 million, or 8.9 percent, and $50 million, or 10.5 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, reflecting the growth in net premiums written described above.

Combined Ratio
The loss and loss expense ratio decreased 2.4 percentage points and 0.4 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, primarily due to higher premiums earned from Chubb Agribusiness, which has a lower loss ratio, lower catastrophe losses, the favorable year-over-year impact of our crop derivative, and lower underlying losses in Chubb Agribusiness. The decrease in the loss ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was mostly offset by lower favorable prior period development. The CAY loss ratio excluding catastrophe losses decreased 1.8 percentage points and 2.5 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, due to the factors noted above.

The policy acquisition cost ratio decreased 1.1 percentage points and 0.9 percentage point for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, primarily due to a lower year-over-year amount of supplemental commissions in our Chubb Agribusiness unit.

The administrative expense ratio decreased 0.2 percentage points and 0.4 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, primarily due to the favorable impact of higher net premiums earned.

Premiums
Net premiums written increased $476 million and $768 million, or $324 million and $517 million on a constant-dollar basis, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, comprising:
Commercial P&C lines: Positive growth of 23.4 percent and 18.8 percent, respectively, across most regions and lines from new business and positive rate increases.
Consumer lines: Positive growth of 4.6 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2021 across all regions and most lines, principally in specialty personal and homeowners lines. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net premiums written in our consumer lines was relatively flat as growth in the second quarter noted above, was offset by declines in A&H in all regions, resulting from less travel volume and lower exposures, and in automobile lines in Latin America.

Net premiums earned increased $385 million and $556 million, or $216 million and $305 million on a constant-dollar basis, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, reflecting the increase in net premiums written described above.

Combined Ratio
The loss and loss expense ratio decreased 21.7 percentage points and 12.6 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, primarily due to lower catastrophe losses and higher favorable prior period development. The CAY loss ratio excluding catastrophe losses decreased 1.0 percentage points and 0.9 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, primarily due to margin improvements coming from underlying loss ratio improvement and lower losses in automobile lines in Latin America. The decrease was partially offset by lower premiums earned from A&H lines which have a lower loss ratio.

The policy acquisition cost ratio decreased 1.3 percentage points and 1.1 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, primarily due to a change in the mix of business, including less premiums earned from A&H lines that have a higher acquisition cost ratio and higher premiums earned from commercial P&C lines, that have a lower acquisition cost ratio.

The administrative expense ratio decreased 0.2 percentage points and 0.3 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, primarily due to the favorable impact of higher net premiums earned.

The administrative expense ratio decreased 0.5 percentage points for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily from the favorable impact of higher net premiums earned.
Life Insurance

The Life Insurance segment comprises Chubb's 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 $4 million and $29 million, or $25 million and $56 million on a constant-dollar basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. For our International Life operations, net premiums written increased 11.6 percent and 10.7 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, principally in Asia, from new business in Taiwan, Vietnam and Thailand. This growth was more than offset by a decline in our North America Combined Insurance business of 5.9 percent and 7.7 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, due to the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on face-to-face and worksite sales. There was also a decline in our life reinsurance business which continues to decline as no new business is currently being written.

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 increased $296 million and $404 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, primarily due to successful sales in broker and bank channels in Taiwan.

Life Insurance underwriting income and Segment income
Life Insurance underwriting income increased $6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to higher net investment income. Life Insurance underwriting income decreased $6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to a one-time employee related benefit of $7 million in the prior year. Segment income increased $15 million and $25 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, primarily due to our share of net 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.

Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses)
We take a long-term view with our investment strategy, and our investment managers manage our investment portfolio to maximize total return within certain specific guidelines designed to minimize risk. The majority of our investment portfolio is available for sale and reported at fair value. Our held to maturity investment portfolio is reported at amortized cost, 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 2020 Form 10-K. Additionally, Net income is impacted through the reporting of changes in the fair value of equity securities, private equity funds where we own less than three percent, and derivatives, including financial futures, options, swaps, and GLB reinsurance. Changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation on available for sale securities, resulting from the revaluation of securities held, changes in cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment, and unrealized postretirement benefit obligations liability adjustment, are reported as separate components of Accumulated other comprehensive income in Shareholders’ equity in the Consolidated balance sheets.

Pre-tax net gains of $827 million in our investment portfolio for the three months ended June 30, 2021 were principally the result of a decline in interest rates and positive equity returns. Pre-tax net losses of $952 million in our investment portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were principally the result of an increase in interest rates, partially offset by positive equity returns.

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 losses of $72 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, 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.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the variable annuity reinsurance derivative transactions resulted in realized gains of $110 million, reflecting a net decrease in the fair value of the GLB liabilities of $213 million due to higher global equity markets, partially offset by a net realized loss of $103 million related to these other derivatives. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the variable annuity reinsurance derivative transactions resulted in realized losses of $450 million reflecting a net increase in the fair value of the GLB liabilities of $472 million due to lower interest rates and lower global equity markets, partially offset by a net realized gain of $22 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 U.S. GAAP and local tax laws, and the impact of discrete items. A change in the geographic mix of earnings could impact our effective tax rate.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 our ETR was 12.3 percent and 12.5 percent, respectively. The ETRs were impacted by a higher percentage of income generated in lower tax jurisdictions and discrete tax benefits compared to 15.8 percent and 206.8 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. In addition, the ETR for the prior period was impacted by the high level of catastrophe losses, principally COVID-19.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation
In presenting our results, we included and discussed certain non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures, which may be defined differently by other companies, are important for an understanding of our overall results of operations and financial condition. However, they should not be viewed as a substitute for measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (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 goodwill and other intangible assets are not indicative of our underlying insurance results or trends and make book value comparisons to less acquisitive peer companies less meaningful. 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 attain majority ownership and 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.

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 7.0 percent and 3.5 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, primarily due to higher income received from our private equity partnerships and increased dividends on public equities. Investment income for the year was tempered by lower reinvestment rates on new and reinvested assets.

Investments
Our investment portfolio is invested primarily in publicly traded, investment grade, fixed income securities with an average credit quality of A/Aa as rated by the independent investment rating services Standard and Poor’s (S&P)/Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s). The portfolio is externally managed by independent, professional investment managers and is broadly diversified across geographies, sectors, and issuers. Other investments principally comprise direct investments, investment funds, and limited partnerships. We hold no collateralized debt obligations in our investment portfolio, and we provide no credit default protection. We have long-standing global credit limits for our entire portfolio across the organization. Exposures are aggregated, monitored, and actively managed by our Global Credit Committee, comprising senior executives, including our Chief Financial Officer, our Chief Risk Officer, our Chief Investment Officer, and our Treasurer. We also have well-established, strict contractual investment rules requiring managers to maintain highly diversified exposures to individual issuers and closely monitor investment manager compliance with portfolio guidelines.

The average duration of our fixed income securities, including the effect of options and swaps, was 4.2 years and 4.0 years at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. We estimate that a 100 basis point (bps) increase in interest rates would reduce the valuation of our fixed income portfolio by approximately $4.5 billion at June 30, 2021.

The fair value of our total investments increased $2.5 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to strong operating cash flow, positive equity market returns, and favorable foreign currency movement. This increase was partially offset by unrealized losses on fixed maturities, payment of dividends on our Common Shares, and share repurchases.

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 48 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, 2021, our corporate fixed income investment portfolio included below-investment grade and non-rated securities which, in total, comprised approximately 15 percent of our fixed income portfolio. Our below-investment grade and non-rated portfolio includes over 1,500 issuers, with the greatest single exposure being $161 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 loan obligations) are not permitted in the high-yield portfolio.

Critical Accounting Estimates
As of June 30, 2021, 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 2020 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:

Balance at June 30, 2021$70,289 $14,721 $55,568 
(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, 2021. A&E reserves are included in Corporate. Refer to our 2020 Form 10-K for further information on our A&E exposures.

Fair value measurements
Accounting guidance defines fair value as the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy based on the reliability of the inputs. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable data (Level 3 inputs). Level 2 includes inputs, other than quoted prices within Level 1, that are observable for assets or liabilities either directly or indirectly. Refer to Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information on our fair value measurements.

Catastrophe Management
We actively monitor and manage our catastrophe risk accumulation around the world, including setting risk limits based on probable maximum loss (PML) and purchasing catastrophe reinsurance. The table below presents our modeled pre-tax estimates of natural catastrophe PML, net of reinsurance, at June 30, 2021, for Worldwide, U.S. hurricane and California earthquake events, based on our in-force portfolio at April 1, 2021 and reflecting the April 1, 2021 reinsurance program (see Natural Catastrophe Property Reinsurance Program section) as well as inuring reinsurance protection coverages. 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 $2,759 million (or 4.6 percent of our total shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2021). These estimates assume that reinsurance recoverable is fully collectible.

(1)    Worldwide losses are comprised of losses arising only from hurricanes, typhoons, convective storms and earthquakes and do not include “non-modeled” perils such as wildfire and flood.
(2)    U.S. Hurricane losses include losses from wind and storm-surge and exclude rainfall.
(3)    California earthquakes include fire-following perils.

The above estimates of Chubb’s loss profile are inherently uncertain for many reasons, including the following:
While the use of third-party catastrophe modeling packages to simulate potential hurricane and earthquake losses is prevalent within the insurance industry, the models are reliant upon significant meteorology, seismology, and engineering assumptions to estimate 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, including U.S. hurricane. Published studies by leading government, academic and professional organizations predict an increase in the expected annual frequency of Atlantic-basin hurricanes and sea level rise through the end of the century over observed historical averages. These studies contemplate expected multi-decadal impacts of climate change on sea surface temperatures, sea levels and other factors contributing to the frequency and intensity of hurricanes. Based on preliminary stress tests conducted against the Chubb portfolio at January 1, 2021, the impacts of climate change are not expected to materially impact our reported U.S. hurricane PML over the next 12 months. These tests reflect current exposures only and exclude potential mitigating factors, such as changes to building codes, public or private risk mitigation, regulation and public policy.

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

We regularly review our reinsurance protection and corresponding property catastrophe exposures. This may or may not lead to the purchase of additional reinsurance prior to a program’s renewal date. In addition, prior to each renewal date, we consider how much, if any, coverage we intend to buy and we may make material changes to the current structure in light of various factors, including modeled PML assessment at various return periods, reinsurance pricing, our risk tolerance and exposures, and various other structuring considerations.

Chubb renewed its Global Property Catastrophe Reinsurance Program for our North American and International operations effective April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2022, with an additional $100 million of limit for international loss occurrences compared to the expiring program. The program consists of three layers in excess of losses retained by Chubb on a per occurrence basis. In addition, Chubb also renewed its terrorism coverage (excluding nuclear, biological, chemical and radiation coverage, with an inclusion of coverage for biological and chemical coverage for personal lines) for the United States from April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2022 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.

Liquidity
We anticipate that positive cash flows from operations (underwriting activities and investment income) should be sufficient to cover cash outflows under most loss scenarios for the near term. In addition to cash from operations, routine sales of investments, and financing arrangements, we have agreements with a third-party bank provider which implemented two international multi-currency notional cash pooling programs to enhance cash management efficiency during periods of short-term timing mismatches between expected inflows and outflows of cash by currency. The programs allow us to optimize investment income by avoiding portfolio disruption. Should the need arise, we generally have access to capital markets and to credit facilities with letter of credit capacity of $3.7 billion with a sub-limit of $1.9 billion for revolving credit. At June 30, 2021, our usage under these facilities was $1.4 billion in letters of credit. Our access to credit under these facilities is dependent on the ability of the banks that are a party to the facilities to meet their funding commitments. The facilities require that we maintain certain financial covenants, all of which we met at June 30, 2021. 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, 2021, 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 $1.8 billion and nil from its Bermuda subsidiaries during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Chubb Limited received cash dividends of $21 million and $110 million and non-cash dividends of $536 million and $734 million from a Swiss subsidiary during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The payment of any dividends from CGM or its subsidiaries is subject to applicable U.K. insurance laws and regulations. In addition, the release of funds by Syndicate 2488 to subsidiaries of CGM is subject to regulations promulgated by the Society of Lloyd’s. The U.S. insurance subsidiaries of Chubb INA Holdings Inc. (Chubb INA) may pay dividends, without prior regulatory approval, subject to restrictions set out in state law of the subsidiary’s domicile (or, if applicable, commercial domicile). Chubb INA’s international subsidiaries are also subject to insurance laws and regulations particular to the countries in which the subsidiaries operate. These laws and regulations sometimes include restrictions that limit the amount of dividends payable without prior approval of regulatory insurance authorities. Chubb Limited received no dividends from CGM or Chubb INA during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. 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 $470 million and nil from its subsidiaries during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, 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, 2021 and 2020.

Operating cash flows were $5.2 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $3.7 billion in the prior year period. The increase of $1.5 billion is due to higher premiums collected reflecting premium growth, principally in our commercial lines. Partially offsetting the increase are higher catastrophe loss payments and higher taxes paid.

Cash used for investing was $2.0 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $2.7 billion in the prior year period. Cash used for investing principally relates to net purchases of fixed maturities. In addition, the prior year included cash used for the incremental purchase of Huatai Group ownership interest of $1.6 billion.

Cash used for financing was $3.0 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $898 million in the prior year period, an increase of $2.1 billion principally from more shares repurchased in the current year.

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.

We use repurchase agreements as a low-cost funding alternative. At June 30, 2021, there were $1.4 billion in repurchase agreements outstanding with various maturities over the next nine months.

Capital Resources
Capital resources consist of funds deployed or available to be deployed to support our business operations.

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, 2021, we repurchased $2.44 billion of Common Shares in a series of open market transactions under the Board of Directors (Board) share repurchase authorization. At June 30, 2021, there were 38,888,051 Common Shares in treasury with a weighted average cost of $148.42 per share, and $65 million in share repurchase authorization remained through December 31, 2021. Subsequently, on July 19, 2021, the Board authorized a one-time incremental share repurchase program of up to $5.0 billion through June 30, 2022. At July 28, 2021, $5.06 billion in share repurchase authorizations remained.

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

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 2021 annual general meeting, our shareholders approved an annual dividend for the following year of up to $3.20 per share, or CHF 2.87 per share, calculated using the USD/CHF exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on May 20, 2021, expected to be paid in four quarterly installments of $0.80 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 2022 annual general meeting, and is authorized to abstain from distributing a dividend at its discretion. The annual dividend approved in May 2021 represented a $0.08 per share increase ($0.02 per quarter) over the prior year dividend.

The following table represents dividends paid per Common Share to shareholders of record on each of the following dates:

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Refer to Item 7A included in our 2020 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 2020 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, 2020 balances disclosed in the 2020 Form 10-K.

Reinsurance of GMDB and GLB guarantees
Chubb views its variable annuity reinsurance business as having a similar risk profile to that of catastrophe reinsurance with the probability of long-term economic loss relatively small, at the time of pricing. Adverse changes in market factors and policyholder behavior will have an impact on both 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.) or actuarial assumptions at June 30, 2021 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 65 percent—75 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, 2021 market levels and only applicable to the equity and interest rate sensitivities table below.

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

In addition, the tables below do not reflect the expected quarterly run rate of net income generated by the variable annuity guarantee reinsurance portfolio if markets remain unchanged during the period. All else equal, if markets remain unchanged during the period, the FVL will increase, resulting in a realized loss. This realized loss occurs primarily because the guarantees provided in the underlying contracts continue to become more valuable even when markets remain unchanged. We refer to this increase in FVL as “timing effect”. The unfavorable impact of timing effect on our FVL in a quarter is not reflected in the sensitivity tables below. For this reason, when using the tables below to estimate the sensitivity of FVL in the third quarter of 2021 to various changes, it is necessary to assume an additional $5 million to $45 million increase in FVL and realized losses. Note that both the timing effect and the quarterly run rate impact to net income change over time as the book ages.

Variable Annuity Net Amount at Risk
All our VA reinsurance treaties include annual or aggregate claim limits and many include an aggregate deductible which limit the net amount at risk under these programs. The tables below present the net amount at risk at June 30, 2021 following an immediate change in equity market levels, assuming all global equity markets are impacted equally.

The treaty claim limits function as a ceiling as equity markets fall. As the shocks in the table above become incrementally more negative, the impact on the NAR and claims at 100 percent mortality begin to drop due to the specific nature of these claim limits, many of which are annual claim limits calculated as a percentage of the reinsured account value. There is also some impact due to a small portion of the GMDB reinsurance under which claims are positively correlated to equity markets (claims decrease as equity markets fall).

The treaty limits control the increase in the GMDB net amount at risk as equity markets fall. The GMDB net amount at risk continues to increase as equity markets fall because most of these reinsurance treaties do not have annual claim limits calculated as a percentage of the underlying account value. The treaty limits cause the GLB net amount at risk to increase at a declining rate as equity markets fall.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Chubb’s management, with the participation of Chubb’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of Chubb’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of June 30, 2021. Based upon that evaluation, Chubb’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that Chubb’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in allowing information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to be recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to Chubb’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There have been no changes in Chubb's internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Chubb's internal controls over financial reporting.
