Your Chubb Investment:
High Quality and Enduring Value
To My Fellow Shareholders
Chubb had an excellent year in 2025, once again
demonstrating the enduring value of this broadly diversified
insurance company. We produced record operating earnings,
supported by strong underwriting and investment results,
leading to double-digit growth in earnings per share.
While we re growing and compounding wealth at a rapid
pace, we re also investing in our businesses and capabilities
in the most important parts of the world: North America,
Asia, Europe and Latin America. We have been and are
embracing the power of technology, AI, data and business
process change, transforming ourselves so we thrive for
years to come. We have a deep bench of talented, longtenured leaders who have a passion for creating, building and
managing. We are optimistic, our energy level is high, and we
are deeply passionate and ambitious about our company.
Twenty years back, I said we aspired to be a great company,
observing that to be great is to possess a quality of
endurance. It is iterative and takes years, relentlessly
building intrinsic strength. Chubb has demonstrated a
steady resilience and ability to outperform, regardless of
the environment. Over two decades, we have patiently built
a broadly diversified, global business, which positions us so
well to capitalize on the many short- and longer-term growth
opportunities we see around the world. At the same time,
our business provides us with resilience to better manage
both the cyclical nature of our industry and the inevitable
volatility we face in the business of risk.
We are a balance sheet business; therefore, our most
important measure of wealth creation is tangible book value,
which increased 22.7% last year, or 25.7% on a per share
basis. The size and growth of our tangible capital support
our ability to grow our underwriting, investment and life
businesses. Tangible book value per share has increased 74%
over three years and 385% over 20 years, and that includes
dilution from acquisitions. As an organization, we are unique
in that we have the proven ability to both organically build
and successfully acquire and integrate companies that
complement our organic growth.
We create wealth through three sources of income, each
with vast opportunity to expand and grow over time: 1) We
are principally a global leader in property and casualty (P&C)
insurance, underwriting risk for businesses and individuals;
2) We are a very successful investment manager with a
record of generating excellent risk-adjusted returns on our
growing portfolio of invested assets liquid and private;
and 3) We are becoming an established life insurer, with
operations predominantly in Asia, and a growing worksite
benefits business in the United States, both expanding at a
double-digit pace.
Each of these three sources delivered record results in 2025.
P&C underwriting income was $6.5 billion, up more than
11.5% for the year and up more than 43% over the past three
years. Adjusted net investment income increased 9% to
almost $7 billion for the year and is up 73% over three years.
Life income was $1.2 billion, up more than 13% for the year
and 88% from three years ago. In all, we produced record
core operating income just shy of $10 billion a milestone
for our company up 8.9% for the year and 55% over three
years. Operating earnings grew 10.8% per share last year
and more than 63% over three years.
Notably, our underwriting results and earnings were
achieved in spite of pre-tax catastrophe losses (CATs) of $2.9
billion, about $500 million over prior year, predominantly
driven by the California wildfires in the first quarter. Though
U.S. and worldwide hurricane and typhoon seasons were
unusually light, annual industry insured CAT losses still
approached $129 billion. Fire, flood, cyclonic and earthquake
were all perils that contributed to industry CAT losses last
year. By its nature, CAT exposure is volatile, and frequency
and severity of losses are alive and well.
