Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
General General and significant accounting policies
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 18 for additional information.

The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Chubb Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively, Chubb, we, us, or our), over which Chubb exercises control, including Huatai Group, our majority-owned subsidiary, and minority-owned entities such as variable interest entities (VIEs) in which Chubb is considered the primary beneficiary. Noncontrolling interests on the consolidated financial statements represent the portion of majority-owned subsidiaries and VIEs in which we do not have direct equity ownership. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements 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.

On July 1, 2023, Chubb increased its investment in Huatai Group from approximately 64.2 percent to approximately 69.6 percent. Accordingly, Chubb discontinued the equity method of accounting for its investment in Huatai Group and applied consolidation accounting. Business activity for, and the financial position of, Huatai Group is reported at 100 percent on the Consolidated Financial Statements starting when Chubb obtained control of Huatai Group on July 1, 2023. The relevant amounts attributable to shareholders other than Chubb (representing approximately 30.4 percent of Huatai Group) are reflected under Noncontrolling interests, Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, and Comprehensive income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Note 2 for additional information.

Huatai Group's life and asset management businesses are included in the Life Insurance segment, and Huatai Group's P&C business is included in the Overseas General Insurance segment. Results for Huatai Group's non-insurance operations, comprising real estate and holding company activity, are included in Corporate.

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 2022 Form 10-K.
b) Accounting policies adopted upon consolidation of Huatai Group

The following accounting policies have been adopted or updated upon the consolidation of Huatai Group and its subsidiaries (collectively, Huatai) in the third quarter of 2023:

Asset management and performance fee revenue and expenses
Huatai's asset management companies recognize revenue and expenses unrelated to Chubb's core insurance operations from the management of third-party assets. These revenues include fixed-rate management fees, which are recognized in the period in which the services are performed, and asset performance fees, which are recognized to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur. These fees and expenses are included in Other (income) expense on the Consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 17 for additional information.

Private debt held-for-investment, at amortized cost
Private debt held-for-investment are investments related principally to the funding of public and private projects that are mostly infrastructure related, and were acquired as part of Huatai’s investment portfolio upon consolidation. They have stated interest rates and maturity dates with fixed or determinable payments. Private debt held-for-investment are carried at amortized cost, net of a valuation allowance for credit losses. Interest income is recorded when earned.

Other investments
Chubb consolidates entities in which it has a controlling interest or is a primary beneficiary of a VIE. Huatai’s asset management businesses create investment entities known as sponsored investment products which include mutual funds with primary holdings in fixed maturities.
Other investments principally comprised these fixed maturities. These securities are reported at fair value with changes in fair value reported through the Consolidated statements of operations within Net realized gains (losses) as required under investment company accounting standards.

Consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs)
Chubb consolidates entities in which it has a controlling interest or is a primary beneficiary of a VIE. Huatai's asset management businesses create investment entities known as sponsored investment products which include mutual funds with primary holdings in fixed maturities. These entities are created for varied purposes during the ordinary course of business, such as to obtain returns from investments, and to collect management fees for the assets managed on behalf of the third party investors. While many investors may not be related parties, Huatai invests in these funds at various ownership percentages. We determined that we are the primary beneficiary of these VIEs and generally consolidate when we hold an economic interest of 10 percent or more. The consolidation of VIEs records 100 percent of the underlying assets and liabilities of the mutual funds within the Consolidated balance sheets. The relevant amounts attributable to investors other than Chubb are reflected as Noncontrolling interests. Where Huatai's ownership in these sponsored investment products is less than 10 percent, we generally would not expect to be the primary beneficiary of these VIEs. Refer to Note 3 g) for additional information.

Effective January 1, 2023, we adopted new guidance on the accounting for long-duration contracts (LDTI). The new accounting guidance requires 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.

With the exception of market risk benefits, we adopted this guidance on a modified retrospective basis. Under the modified retrospective basis, the liability for future policy benefits is updated to remove any amounts related to changes to the original discount rate at January 1, 2021 (the transition date) in AOCI and future cash flow assumptions are applied to contracts in force. The liability for future policy benefits prior to the transition date continues to use the original discount rate (interest accretion rate). The guidance for long-duration contracts applicable to market risk benefits, primarily assumed reinsurance programs involving minimum benefit guarantees under variable annuity contracts, was adopted on a retrospective transition approach. Under the retrospective transition approach, we calculated the fair value of market risk benefits which were previously accounted for under an insurance accounting model and recognized an adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2021.

On January 1, 2021, we recognized a cumulative effect adjustment and increased beginning retained earnings by $52 million, and decreased AOCI by $1.8 billion. Results for the prior reporting periods in this report are presented in accordance with the new guidance. We also adopted the required disclosures in Note 6 Deferred acquisition costs, Note 9 Future policy benefits, Note 10 Policyholders’ account balances, Note 11 Market risk benefits, and Note 12 Separate accounts.
The impact of adoption of the new guidance on our historical financial statements is as follows:

Significant accounting policies
The following accounting policies have been updated to reflect the adoption of LDTI. Refer to Note 1 in the 2022 Form 10-K for a complete description of our accounting policies.

Deferred policy acquisition costs (DAC)
Policy acquisition costs on long-duration contracts are grouped by contract type and issue year into cohorts consistent with the grouping used in estimating the associated liability. Deferred policy acquisition costs are amortized on a constant level basis over the expected term of the related contracts to approximate straight-line amortization. The constant level basis used for amortization is the face amount in force and is projected using the same assumptions used in estimating the liability for future policy benefits. If those projected assumptions change in future periods, they will be reflected in the cohort level amortization basis at that time. Unexpected changes in the in-force portfolio, due to variances in mortality and lapse experience, are recognized over the contract term. Changes in future mortality and lapse assumptions are also recognized prospectively over the remaining expected contract term.

Future policy benefits
For traditional and limited-payment contracts, contracts are grouped into cohorts by contract type and issue year to determine a liability for future policy benefits. The future policy benefit liability (FPBL) is the present value of estimated future policy benefits to be paid to or on behalf of policyholders and certain related expenses less the present value of estimated future net premiums to be collected from policyholders, and is accrued as premium revenue is recognized. The valuation of this liability requires management to make estimates and assumptions regarding expenses, mortality, and persistency. Estimates are primarily based on historical experience. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

The liability is adjusted for differences between actual and expected experience. With the exception of the expense assumption, we review our future cash flow assumptions at least annually to determine if the net premium ratio (NPR), the mechanism used to record the liability as premium is earned, used to calculate the liability should be changed at that time. We have elected to use expense assumptions that are locked in at contract inception and are not subsequently reviewed or updated. Each quarter, we update the cash flows expected over the entire life of each cohort for actual historical experience and projected future cash
flows. These updated cash flows are used to calculate the revised NPR, which is used to derive an updated FPBL as of the beginning of the current reporting period, discounted at the original contract issuance discount rate. This amount is then compared to the carrying amount of the liability as of that same date, but before the updating of cash flow assumptions, to determine the current period change in FPBL. This current period change in the liability is the liability remeasurement gain or loss and is recorded in Policy benefits in the Consolidated statements of operations. In subsequent periods, the revised NPR is used to measure the FPBL until future revisions become required.

For traditional and limited-payment contracts, the discount rate assumption based on an upper-medium grade fixed-income instrument yield. An equivalent rate is derived based on A-credit-rated fixed-income instruments with similar duration to the liability. The discount rate assumption is updated quarterly and used to remeasure the liability at each reporting date, with the resulting change reflected in Other comprehensive income. For liability cash flows that are projected beyond the duration of market-observable A-credit-rated fixed-income instruments, we use the last market-observable yield level, as the basis for a linear interpolation to determine yield assumptions for durations that do not have market-observable yields.

Deferred profit liability
For limited-payment products, gross premiums received in excess of net premiums are deferred at initial recognition as a deferred profit liability (DPL) and recorded as a component of Future policy benefits in the Consolidated balance sheets. Net premiums are measured using actual cash flows and future cash flow assumptions consistent with those used in the measurement of the liability for future policy benefits and remeasured quarterly. The DPL is amortized in proportion to the discounted in-force policies. Interest is accreted on the balance of the DPL using the discount rate consistent with the interest accretion on the FPBL. The recalculated DPL, including adjusted amortization through the current period, is compared to the current carrying amount and the difference is recognized as an adjustment to Policy benefits in the Consolidated statements of operations as a remeasurement gain or loss.

Market risk benefits
Chubb reinsures various death and living benefit guarantees associated with variable annuities issued primarily in the United States, which are referred to as market risk benefits. These reinsurance contracts provide both protection to the ceding entity from other-than-nominal capital market risk and expose us to other-than-nominal capital market risk.

Market risk benefits are measured at fair value using a valuation model based on current net exposures, market data, our experience, and other factors. Changes in fair value are recognized in Market risk benefits gains (losses) in the Consolidated statements of operations, except the change in fair value due to a change in the instrument-specific credit risk, which is recognized in other comprehensive income. Refer to Note 11 for additional information.

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 18 for additional information.

The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Chubb Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively, Chubb, we, us, or our), over which Chubb exercises control, including Huatai Group, our majority-owned subsidiary, and minority-owned entities such as variable interest entities (VIEs) in which Chubb is considered the primary beneficiary. Noncontrolling interests on the consolidated financial statements represent the portion of majority-owned subsidiaries and VIEs in which we do not have direct equity ownership. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements 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.

On July 1, 2023, Chubb increased its investment in Huatai Group from approximately 64.2 percent to approximately 69.6 percent. Accordingly, Chubb discontinued the equity method of accounting for its investment in Huatai Group and applied consolidation accounting. Business activity for, and the financial position of, Huatai Group is reported at 100 percent on the Consolidated Financial Statements starting when Chubb obtained control of Huatai Group on July 1, 2023. The relevant amounts attributable to shareholders other than Chubb (representing approximately 30.4 percent of Huatai Group) are reflected under Noncontrolling interests, Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, and Comprehensive income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Note 2 for additional information.

Huatai Group's life and asset management businesses are included in the Life Insurance segment, and Huatai Group's P&C business is included in the Overseas General Insurance segment. Results for Huatai Group's non-insurance operations, comprising real estate and holding company activity, are included in Corporate.

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 2022 Form 10-K.
Other Investment
Other investments
Chubb consolidates entities in which it has a controlling interest or is a primary beneficiary of a VIE. Huatai’s asset management businesses create investment entities known as sponsored investment products which include mutual funds with primary holdings in fixed maturities.
Other investments principally comprised these fixed maturities. These securities are reported at fair value with changes in fair value reported through the Consolidated statements of operations within Net realized gains (losses) as required under investment company accounting standards.

Huatai Group

Huatai Insurance Group Co., Ltd. (Huatai Group) is a Chinese financial services holding company and the parent company of, among others, Huatai Property & Casualty Insurance Co., Ltd. (Huatai P&C), Huatai Life Insurance Co., Ltd. (Huatai Life), Huatai Asset Management Co., Ltd., and Huatai Baoxing Fund Management Co., Ltd., of which Huatai Group owns 100 percent, 80 percent, 82 percent, and 85 percent, respectively (collectively, Huatai).

On July 1, 2023, Chubb increased its investment in Huatai Group from approximately 64.2 percent to approximately 69.6 percent. Chubb paid $318 million for the incremental 5.4 percent ownership interest.

On October 1, 2023, we closed on an incremental ownership interest of approximately 2.5 percent for $146 million, which was previously paid as a deposit. Chubb has agreements in place to acquire approximately 14.1 percent of incremental ownership interests, pending completion of certain closing conditions, of which approximately 3 percent also requires regulatory approval. We have paid deposits of $416 million for the approximately 14.1 percent of ownership interests, and the remaining aggregate purchase price to be paid upon closing is approximately $433 million, based on current exchange rates. Refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2022 Form 10-K for additional information.
Upon discontinuation of the equity method of accounting, Chubb remeasured the 64.2 percent equity method investment to its fair value of $4.1 billion as of July 1, 2023, resulting in a one-time realized gain of $744 million after-tax, reflecting the remeasurement of the previously held equity interest's historical carrying value to fair value. There was also a net realized and unrealized loss of $17 million after-tax reflecting the write-off of AOCI loss balances accumulated while under the equity method of $611 million with an offset to realized loss of $628 million.

The acquisition of a controlling majority interest in Huatai Group generated $3,394 million of Goodwill, attributable to expected growth and profitability, and $1,655 million of Other intangible assets. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Additionally, the acquisition of a controlling majority interest in Huatai Group generated $309 million of Value of business acquired (VOBA). Chubb financed the transaction through available cash on hand. Direct costs related to the acquisition were expensed as incurred. These include one-time costs that are directly attributable to third-party consulting fees and other professional and legal fees related to the acquisition.

The following table summarizes Chubb's best estimate of fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on July 1, 2023. The fair value of assets and liabilities are preliminary and may change with offsetting adjustments to goodwill. Chubb may make further adjustments to its purchase price allocation and the fair value of noncontrolling interest through the end of the permissible one-year measurement period.

Cigna’s Accident and Health (A&H) and Life Insurance Business in Asian Markets

On July 1, 2022, we completed the acquisition of the life and non-life insurance companies that house the personal accident, supplemental health, and life insurance business of Cigna in several Asian markets. Chubb paid approximately $5.4 billion in cash for the operations, which include Cigna's accident and health (A&H) and life business in Korea, Taiwan, New Zealand, Thailand, Hong Kong, and Indonesia, collectively referred to as Cigna's business in Asia. This complementary strategic acquisition expands our presence and advances our long-term growth opportunity in Asia. Effective July 1, 2022, the results of operations of this acquired business are reported primarily in our Life Insurance segment and, to a lesser extent, our Overseas General Insurance segment. Refer to the 2022 Form 10-K for additional information on this acquisition.

The acquisition of Cigna's business in Asia generated $1,177 million of goodwill, attributable to expected growth and profitability, and $309 million of other intangible assets. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Additionally, the acquisition of Cigna's business in Asia generated $3,633 million of value of business acquired (VOBA). Chubb financed the transaction through a combination of available cash and $2.0 billion in repurchase agreements that expired at the end of 2022. Direct costs related to the acquisition were expensed as incurred.

Investments Investments
a) Transfers of securities

In June 2023, we determined that we no longer have the intent to hold securities in our held to maturity (HTM) portfolio until maturity. As a result, our entire HTM securities portfolio was transferred to the available for sale (AFS) portfolio. This decision allowed us to increase our flexibility to execute on our investment strategy and take advantage of the continuing higher reinvestment environment while not making any major change to our current asset allocation. At the time of the transfer on June 30, 2023, these securities had a carrying value of $8.2 billion and a fair value of $7.8 billion, resulting in an increase to Unrealized depreciation in OCI of $428 million, after-tax. This transfer represents a non-cash transaction and does not impact the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

c) Gross unrealized loss
Fixed maturities in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, comprised both investment grade and below investment grade securities for which fair value declined, principally due to rising interest rates since the date of purchase. Refer to Note 1 e) in the 2022 Form 10-K for further information on factors considered in the evaluation of expected credit losses.
The following tables present, for 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 been in an unrealized loss position:

At September 30, 2023, the tax benefit on certain unrealized losses in our investment portfolio was reduced by a valuation allowance of $1,108 million necessary due to limitations on the utilization of these losses. As part of evaluating whether it was more likely than not that we could realize these losses, we considered realized gains, carryback ability and available tax planning strategies.

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

f) 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 September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, are investments, primarily fixed maturities, totaling $17,505 million and $15,721 million, respectively, and cash of $192 million and $115 million, respectively.

Refer to Note 1 for further information on our consolidation criteria. The assets of these VIEs are not available to our creditors, and the investors in these VIEs have no recourse to Chubb in excess of the assets contained within the VIEs. Our economic exposures are limited to our investments based on our ownership interest in these VIEs. Our total exposure to these sponsored investment products represents the value of our economic ownership interest.

Fair value measurements

Sep. 30, 2023
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair value measurements 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.

Private equities
Fair values for the majority of Private equities including investments in partially-owned investment companies, investment funds, and limited partnerships are based on their respective NAV and are excluded from the fair value hierarchy table below.

Other investments
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 principally include fixed maturities carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded through the Consolidated statements of operations. These fixed maturities principally relate to the acquired Huatai investment portfolio and are classified within Level 2. Also included are life insurance policies collateralizing investments held in rabbi trusts maintained by Chubb for deferred compensation plans and supplemental retirement plans. These policies are carried at cash surrender value and are classified in the valuation hierarchy within Level 2.

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 derivatives
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.
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments
Certain of our derivatives are cross-currency swaps designated as fair value and net investment hedging instruments. 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 market risk benefits (MRB) reserves and our MRB 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 principally 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.

b) Financial instruments disclosed, but not measured, at fair value
Chubb uses various financial instruments in the normal course of its business. Our insurance contracts are excluded from fair value of financial instruments accounting guidance, and therefore, are not included in the amounts discussed below.

The carrying values of cash, other assets, other liabilities, and other financial instruments not included below approximated their fair values. Refer to the 2022 Form 10-K for information on the fair value methods and assumptions for investments in partially-owned insurance companies, short-term and long-term debt, repurchase agreements, and trust-preferred securities.
The following tables present fair value, by valuation hierarchy, and carrying value of the financial instruments not measured at fair value:

Private debt held-for-investment is related to Huatai and its consolidation. The fair value of Private debt held-for-investment is derived using a discounted cash flow approach, which includes an evaluation of forecasted contractual cash flows and yield curve information, among other loan characteristics and assumptions. These assumptions are derived from internal and third party sources. Since the valuation is derived from model-based techniques, Private debt held-for-investment is classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs Disclosures [Abstract]  
Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs Deferred acquisition costs
Deferred acquisition costs comprise capitalized costs on short-duration contracts of $3,283 million and $2,809 million and long-duration contracts of $3,573 million and $2,979 million at September 30, 2023, and September 30, 2022, respectively. The assumptions used to amortize DAC were consistent with the assumptions used to estimate the liability for future policy benefits for nonparticipating traditional and limited-payment contracts.

Value of business acquired
Value of business acquired (VOBA) represents the fair value of the future profits of in-force long duration contracts from businesses acquired, principally Cigna's Asian business, and is amortized in relation to the profit emergence of the underlying contracts. The VOBA calculation is based on many factors including mortality, morbidity, persistency, investment yields, expenses, and the discount rate, with the discount rate being the most significant factor.

Gross and net unpaid losses and loss expenses increased $4.0 billion and $3.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, principally reflecting underlying exposure growth and the consolidation of Huatai. The increase in net unpaid losses also reflected seasonality in our crop insurance business. This increase was partially offset by favorable prior period development and by large payments related to the Boy Scouts of America.
Prior Period Development
Prior period development (PPD) arises from changes to loss estimates recognized in the current year that relate to loss events that occurred in previous calendar years and excludes the effect of losses from the development of earned premium from previous accident years. Long-tail lines include lines such as workers' compensation, general liability, and financial lines; while short-tail lines include lines such as most property lines, energy, personal accident, and agriculture.
The following table summarizes (favorable) and adverse PPD by segment:

Significant prior period movements by segment, principally driven by reserve reviews completed during each respective period, are discussed in more detail below. The remaining net development for long-tail lines and short-tail business for each segment and Corporate comprises numerous favorable and adverse movements across a number of lines and accident years, none of which is significant individually or in the aggregate.

North America Commercial P&C Insurance. Net favorable development for the three months ended September 30, 2023 included $71 million in workers' compensation lines, mainly due to lower than expected loss experience, and $188 million in commercial property and marine lines, mainly due to net lower than expected development impacting the most recent accident years. The favorable development was partially offset by adverse development of $222 million in commercial excess and umbrella lines, driven by higher than expected loss development, principally related to automobile exposures.

Net favorable development for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 included $379 million in workers' compensation lines, $113 million in commercial property and marine lines, and $101 million in surety, all mainly driven by lower than expected development. These favorable movements were partially offset by adverse development of $227 million in commercial excess and umbrella lines and $125 million in commercial auto liability, both driven by higher than expected loss experience.
Net favorable development for the three months ended September 30, 2022 included $164 million from lower than expected loss experience in workers’ compensation lines and $66 million, net of premium adjustments, from lower claims activity in large multi-line loss sensitive accounts. The favorable development was partially offset by net adverse development of $58 million from higher than expected claims severity in commercial auto liability, and $71 million in commercial umbrella/excess portfolios. Net favorable development on our short-tail businesses primarily included $132 million in property and marine portfolios, where paid and reported loss activity for the most recent accident years was lower than expected. Net favorable development for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 also included favorable development in workers’ compensation lines due to updates to loss development factors and our annual assessment of multi-claimant events, including industrial accidents.
North America Personal P&C Insurance. Net favorable development for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 included $263 million and $244 million, respectively, in homeowners and valuables lines, mainly due to lower than expected loss experience in accident year 2022. The favorable development was partially offset by net adverse development of $145 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 in personal excess liability due to adverse development on reported losses.
Net favorable development for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 included favorable development in the homeowners and valuables lines of business, driven by lower than expected claims reserve development.
Overseas General Insurance. Net favorable development for the three months ended September 30, 2023 included favorable loss emergence in financial lines of $77 million primarily in accident years 2019 and prior of partially offset by net adverse development of $51 million in political risks. Net favorable development for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, also included net favorable development of $147 million in property and marine lines, and $45 million in A&H lines.
Net favorable development for the three months ended September 30, 2022, included lower than expected paid and reported loss activity of $82 million in casualty lines, including primary and excess lines in Continental Europe, the U.K., and Asia Pacific, and $34 million in environmental lines. The favorable development was partially offset by net adverse development of $114 million in financial lines, including Directors and Officers (D&O) due to a combination of higher than expected development on specific claims and increased expected future development in the U.K., Continental Europe, Asia Pacific, and London wholesale business. Net favorable development for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, also included net favorable development of $75 million in A&H lines, $67 million in property lines, and $53 million in personal lines.
Corporate. Net adverse development for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, included adverse development for environmental liabilities. Net adverse development for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 also included adverse development for molestation claims of $49 million and $155 million, respectively.

Our reinsurance programs covering variable annuity guarantees, comprising guaranteed living benefits (GLB) and guaranteed minimum death benefits (GMDB), meet the definition of Market risk benefits (MRB). The following table presents a roll-forward of MRB:

Excluded from the table above are MRB gains (losses) of $(181) million and $186 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, reported in the Consolidated statements of operations, relating to the market risk benefits' economic hedge and other net cash flows. There is no reinsurance recoverable associated with our liability for MRB.

In the third quarter of 2023, we completed a review of policyholder behavior related to annuitizations, partial withdrawals, lapses, and mortality for our variable annuity reinsurance business.

As annuitization and partial withdrawal experience continued to emerge, we refined our assumptions for an additional year of data. The annuitization assumption updates included treaty-based and age-based behavior, as well as a refresh of our annuitization rates which depend on the value of the guarantees. These refinements resulted in a net increase of approximately $92 million to the MRB fair value, recognized as a Market risk benefits loss.
We also refined our lapse and mortality assumptions based on additional emerging experience. The changes had an insignificant impact on the MRB fair value.

For MRB, Chubb estimates fair value using an internal valuation model which includes 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. All reinsurance treaties contain claim limits, which are also factored into the valuation model.

(1)The weighted-average lapse and annuitization rates are determined by weighting each treaty's rates by the MRB contract's fair value.

The most significant policyholder behavior assumptions include lapse rates for MRBs, and GLB annuitization rates. Assumptions regarding lapse rates and GLB 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. In general, the base lapse function assumes low lapse rates during the surrender charge period, followed by a "spike" lapse rate in the year immediately following the surrender charge period, and then reverting to an ultimate lapse rate, typically over a 2-year period. This base rate is adjusted downward for policies with more valuable guarantees (policies with guaranteed values far in excess of their account values). Partial withdrawals and the impact of older policyholders with tax-qualified contracts (due to required minimum distributions) are also reflected in our modeling.

The GLB annuitization rate is the percentage of policies for which the policyholder will elect to annuitize using the guaranteed benefit provided under the GLB. All else equal, as GLB annuitization rates increase, ultimate claim payments will increase, subject to treaty claim limits. All GLB reinsurance treaties include claim limits to protect Chubb in the event that actual annuitization behavior is significantly higher than expected. In general, Chubb assumes that GLB annuitization rates will be higher for policies with more valuable guarantees (policies with guaranteed values far in excess of their account values). Chubb also assumes that GLB annuitization rates increase as policyholders get older. In addition, it is also assumed that GLB annuitization rates are higher in the first year immediately following the waiting period (the first year the policies are eligible to annuitize using the GLB) in comparison to all subsequent years. Chubb does not yet have fully credible annuitization experience for all clients.
The effect of changes in key market factors on assumed lapse and annuitization rates reflect emerging trends using data available from cedants. For treaties with limited experience, rates are established by blending the experience with data received from other ceding companies. The model and related assumptions are regularly re-evaluated by management and enhanced, as appropriate, based upon additional experience obtained related to policyholder behavior and availability of updated information such as market conditions, market participant assumptions, and demographics of in-force annuities.

Separate Accounts Separate accounts
Separate account assets represent segregated funds where investment risks are borne by the customers, except to the extent of certain guarantees made by Chubb. The assets that support variable contracts are measured at fair value and are reported as Separate account assets and corresponding liabilities are reported within Separate account liabilities on the Consolidated balance sheets. Policy charges assessed against the policyholders for mortality, administration, and other services are included in Net premiums earned on the Consolidated statements of operations.

a) Derivative instruments
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, and exchange-traded equity futures contracts on equity market indices to limit equity exposure in the MRB book of business. Investment derivative instruments and derivatives designated as hedges for accounting purposes are recorded in either Other assets (OA) or Accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities (AP); convertible bonds are recorded in Fixed maturities available for sale (FM AFS); and convertible equity securities are recorded in Equity securities (ES) in the Consolidated balance sheets. These are the most numerous and frequent derivative transactions. In addition, Chubb, from time to time, purchases to be announced mortgage-backed securities (TBAs) as part of its investing activities.

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. Some of Chubb's derivatives satisfy hedge accounting requirements, as discussed below. We also consider economic hedging for planned cross border transactions.

At September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, net derivative liabilities of $97 million and $60 million, respectively, included in the table above were subject to a master netting agreement. The remaining derivatives included in the table above were not subject to a master netting agreement.

b) Hedge accounting
We designate certain derivatives as fair value hedges and net investment hedges for accounting purposes to hedge for foreign currency exposure associated with portions of our euro denominated debt and the net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries, respectively. These derivatives comprise cross-currency swaps, which are agreements under which two counterparties exchange interest payments and principal denominated in different currencies at a future date.

(i) Cross-currency swaps - fair value hedges
In September 2022, Chubb entered into certain cross-currency swaps designated as fair value hedges. The objective of these cross-currency swaps is to hedge the foreign currency risk on €1.5 billion, or approximately $1.6 billion at September 30, 2023, of our euro denominated debt, by converting cash flows back into the U.S. dollar.

These fair value hedges are carried at fair value. The hedges are expected to be highly effective, with gains or losses on the fair value hedges offsetting the foreign currency remeasurement on the hedged euro denominated senior notes within Net realized gains (losses). The remaining change in fair value is recorded in Other comprehensive income (OCI), with an immaterial amount recorded in Interest expense.

The following table presents pre-tax gains (losses) recognized in OCI and reclassified into earnings for fair value hedges:

(ii) Cross-currency swaps - net investment hedges
In September 2022, Chubb entered into certain cross-currency swaps designated as net investment hedges. The objective of these cross-currency swaps is to hedge the foreign currency exposure in the net investments of certain foreign subsidiaries by converting cash flows from U.S. dollar to the British pound sterling, Japanese yen, and Swiss franc. The hedged risk is designated as the foreign currency exposure arising between the functional currency of the foreign subsidiary and the functional currency of its parent entity.

These net investment hedges are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in Cumulative translation adjustments (CTA) within OCI, and an immaterial amount recorded to Interest expense. The mark-to-market adjustments for foreign currency changes will remain until the underlying hedge subsidiary is deconsolidated or if hedge accounting is discontinued.

(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.

(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 market risk benefit reserves.

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

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

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

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

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

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

(v) Futures contracts on equities
Under the MRB 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. We may recognize a loss for 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). 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 MRB liability and the exchange-traded equity futures are included in Market risk benefits gains (losses) in the Consolidated statements of operations.

d) 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 September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, our repurchase agreement obligations of $2,617 million and $1,419 million, respectively, were fully collateralized. In contrast to securities lending programs, the use of cash received is not restricted for the repurchase obligations. The fair value of the underlying securities sold remains in Fixed maturities available for sale, and the repurchase agreement obligation is recorded in Repurchase agreements in the Consolidated balance sheets.

(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.

e) Fixed maturities
At September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, commitments to purchase fixed income securities over the next several years were $1,075 million and $770 million, respectively.

f) Private equities
At September 30, 2023, included in Private equities in the Consolidated balance sheet are investments in limited partnerships and partially-owned investment companies with a carrying value of $13.1 billion. In connection with these investments, we have commitments that may require funding of up to $6.3 billion over the next several years. At December 31, 2022, these investments had a carrying value of $12.0 billion with commitments that may have required funding of up to $7.4 billion.

g) Income taxes
At September 30, 2023, $67 million of unrecognized tax benefits remain outstanding. It is reasonably possible that, over the next twelve months, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may change resulting from the re-evaluation of unrecognized tax benefits arising from examinations by taxing authorities, settlements, and the lapses of statutes of limitations. With few exceptions, Chubb is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years before 2012.

h) 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.

i) Lease commitments
At September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the right-of-use asset was $549 million and $607 million, respectively, recorded within Other assets, and the lease liability was $577 million and $633 million, respectively, recorded within Accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities on the Consolidated balance sheets. These leases consist principally of real estate operating leases that are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, which expire at various dates.

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]  
Shareholders' equity 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 September 30, 2023, our Common Shares had a par value of CHF 0.50 per share.

At our May 2023 annual general meeting, our shareholders approved an annual dividend for the following year of up to $3.44 per share, expected to be paid in four quarterly installments of $0.86 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 2024 annual general meeting, and is authorized to abstain from distributing a dividend at its discretion.

At our May 2022 and 2021 annual general meetings, our shareholders approved annual dividends for the following year of up to $3.32 per share and $3.20 per share, respectively, which were paid in four quarterly installments of $0.83 per share and $0.80 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.

Increases in Common Shares in treasury are due to open market repurchases of Common Shares and the surrender of Common Shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock and the forfeiture of unvested restricted stock. Decreases in Common Shares in treasury are principally due to grants of restricted stock, exercises of stock options, purchases under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), and share cancellations. At the Chubb Limited Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders, held on November 3, 2021, shareholders approved the cancellation of 14,465,400 shares repurchased under our share repurchase program during the first six months of 2021. The capital reduction by cancellation of shares was subject to publication requirements and a two-month waiting period in accordance with Swiss law and became effective on January 17, 2022. At our May 2022 annual general meeting, held on May 19, 2022, our shareholders approved the cancellation of 13,179,100 shares purchased under our share repurchase program during the last six months of 2021. The capital reduction by cancellation of shares was subject to publication requirements and a two-month waiting period in accordance with Swiss law and became effective on August 4, 2022. At our May 2023 annual general meeting, held on May 17, 2023, our shareholders approved the cancellation of 14,925,028 shares purchased under our share repurchase programs during 2022. The capital reduction was subject to publication requirements and became effective in accordance with Swiss law on May 22, 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, 8,634,600 shares were
repurchased, 14,925,028 shares were canceled, and 2,024,083 net shares were issued under employee share-based compensation plans. At September 30, 2023, 23,467,247 Common Shares remain in treasury.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]  
Share-based compensation Share-based compensationThe Chubb Limited 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the Amended 2016 LTIP), permits grants of both incentive and non-qualified stock options principally at an option price per share equal to the grant date fair value of Chubb's Common Shares. Stock options are generally granted with a 3-year vesting period and a 10-year term. Stock options typically vest in equal annual installments over the respective vesting period, which is also the requisite service period. On February 23, 2023, Chubb granted 1,540,002 stock options with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $51.32 each. The fair value of the options issued is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.The Amended 2016 LTIP also permits grants of service-based restricted stock and restricted stock units as well as performance-based restricted stock awards. Chubb generally grants service-based restricted stock and restricted stock units with a 4-year vesting period, based on a graded vesting schedule. The performance-based restricted stock awards granted comprise target awards and premium awards that cliff vest at the end of a 3-year performance period based on both tangible book value (shareholders' equity less goodwill and intangible assets, net of tax) per share growth and P&C combined ratio compared to a defined group of peer companies. Premium awards are subject to an additional vesting provision based on total shareholder return compared to our peer group. The restricted stock is principally granted at market close price on the grant date. On February 23, 2023, Chubb granted 785,319 service-based restricted stock awards, 315,545 service-based restricted stock units, and 407,825 performance-based stock awards to employees and officers with a grant date fair value of $208.60 each. Each restricted stock unit represents our obligation to deliver to the holder one Common Share upon vesting.

Equity in net income of partially-owned entities 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) where we own more than three percent, and partially-owned insurance companies. This line item includes mark-to-market gains (losses) on private equities of $51 million and $290 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and $(190) million and $(69) million, respectively, for the prior year periods.
Other income and expense includes net income attributable to our investment in Huatai under the equity method of accounting comprising income of $36 million through June 30, 2023, and $28 million and $83 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. Effective July 1, 2023, we discontinued the equity method of accounting and include the results of operations of Huatai in our consolidated results.
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.
Asset management and performance fee revenue and expense primarily relate to the management of third-party assets by Huatai's asset management business, which is unrelated to Huatai Group's core insurance operations. These revenues and expenses are recognized in the period in which the services are performed.
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.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment information 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. These segments distribute their products through various forms of brokers, agencies, and direct marketing programs. All business segments have established relationships with reinsurance intermediaries. Commencing in the third quarter of 2023, the results of Huatai Group's life and asset management business are included in the Life Insurance segment, and the results of Huatai Group's P&C business are included in the Overseas General Insurance segment. Results for Huatai Group’s non-insurance operations, comprising real estate and holding company activity, are included in Corporate. Commencing in the third quarter of 2022, the results of Cigna's business in Asia are included in our Life Insurance segment and, to a lesser extent, Overseas General Insurance segment according to the nature of the business written.

Management uses underwriting income (loss) as the basis for segment performance for its P&C operations. P&C underwriting income (loss) excludes the Life Insurance segment and is calculated by subtracting Losses and loss expenses, Policy benefits, Policy acquisition costs, and Administrative expenses from Net premiums earned. Segment income (loss) includes Underwriting income (loss), Net investment income (loss), and Other operating income and expense items such as each segment's share of the operating income (loss) related to partially-owned entities and miscellaneous income and expense items for which the segments are held accountable. Our main measure of segment performance is Segment income (loss), which also includes Amortization of purchased intangibles acquired by the segment. We determined that this definition of Segment income (loss) is appropriate and aligns with how the business is managed. We continue to evaluate our segments as our business continues to evolve and may further refine our segments and Segment income (loss) measures.
Revenue and expenses managed at the corporate level, including Net realized gains (losses), Market risk benefits gains (losses), Interest expense, Cigna integration expenses, Income tax, and Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests are reported within Corporate. Cigna integration expenses are one-time costs that are directly attributable to third-party consulting fees, employee-related retention costs, and other professional and legal fees primarily related to the acquisition of Cigna's business in Asia. These items are not allocated to the segment level as they are one-time in nature and are not related to the ongoing business activities of the segment. The Chief Executive Officer does not manage segment results or allocate resources to segments when considering these costs, and therefore are excluded from our definition of Segment income (loss).

Certain items are presented in a different manner for segment reporting purposes than in the Consolidated Financial Statements. These items are reconciled to the consolidated presentation in the Segment measure reclass column below and include:

Losses and loss expenses include realized gains and losses on crop derivatives. These derivatives were purchased to provide economic benefit, in a manner similar to reinsurance protection, in the event that a significant decline in commodity pricing impacts underwriting results. We view gains and losses on these derivatives as part of the results of our underwriting operations, and therefore realized gains (losses) from these derivatives are reclassified to Losses and loss expenses.

Policy benefits include fair value changes on separate accounts that do not qualify for separate accounting under GAAP. These gains and losses have been reclassified from Other (income) expense. We view gains and losses from fair value changes in both separate account assets and liabilities as part of the results of our underwriting operations, and therefore these gains and losses are reclassified to Policy benefits.
Net investment income includes investment income reclassified from Other (income) expense related to partially-owned investment companies (private equity partnerships) where our ownership interest is in excess of three percent. We view investment income from these equity-method private equity partnerships as Net investment income for segment reporting purposes.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Basis of presentation 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 18 for additional information.

The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Chubb Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively, Chubb, we, us, or our), over which Chubb exercises control, including Huatai Group, our majority-owned subsidiary, and minority-owned entities such as variable interest entities (VIEs) in which Chubb is considered the primary beneficiary. Noncontrolling interests on the consolidated financial statements represent the portion of majority-owned subsidiaries and VIEs in which we do not have direct equity ownership. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements 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.

On July 1, 2023, Chubb increased its investment in Huatai Group from approximately 64.2 percent to approximately 69.6 percent. Accordingly, Chubb discontinued the equity method of accounting for its investment in Huatai Group and applied consolidation accounting. Business activity for, and the financial position of, Huatai Group is reported at 100 percent on the Consolidated Financial Statements starting when Chubb obtained control of Huatai Group on July 1, 2023. The relevant amounts attributable to shareholders other than Chubb (representing approximately 30.4 percent of Huatai Group) are reflected under Noncontrolling interests, Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, and Comprehensive income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Note 2 for additional information.

Huatai Group's life and asset management businesses are included in the Life Insurance segment, and Huatai Group's P&C business is included in the Overseas General Insurance segment. Results for Huatai Group's non-insurance operations, comprising real estate and holding company activity, are included in Corporate.

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 2022 Form 10-K.
Accounting guidance adopted Accounting guidance adopted in 2023
Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts
Effective January 1, 2023, we adopted new guidance on the accounting for long-duration contracts (LDTI). The new accounting guidance requires 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.

With the exception of market risk benefits, we adopted this guidance on a modified retrospective basis. Under the modified retrospective basis, the liability for future policy benefits is updated to remove any amounts related to changes to the original discount rate at January 1, 2021 (the transition date) in AOCI and future cash flow assumptions are applied to contracts in force. The liability for future policy benefits prior to the transition date continues to use the original discount rate (interest accretion rate). The guidance for long-duration contracts applicable to market risk benefits, primarily assumed reinsurance programs involving minimum benefit guarantees under variable annuity contracts, was adopted on a retrospective transition approach. Under the retrospective transition approach, we calculated the fair value of market risk benefits which were previously accounted for under an insurance accounting model and recognized an adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2021.

On January 1, 2021, we recognized a cumulative effect adjustment and increased beginning retained earnings by $52 million, and decreased AOCI by $1.8 billion. Results for the prior reporting periods in this report are presented in accordance with the new guidance. We also adopted the required disclosures in Note 6 Deferred acquisition costs, Note 9 Future policy benefits, Note 10 Policyholders’ account balances, Note 11 Market risk benefits, and Note 12 Separate accounts.
The impact of adoption of the new guidance on our historical financial statements is as follows:

Deferred policy acquisition costs and value of business acquired
Deferred policy acquisition costs (DAC)
Policy acquisition costs on long-duration contracts are grouped by contract type and issue year into cohorts consistent with the grouping used in estimating the associated liability. Deferred policy acquisition costs are amortized on a constant level basis over the expected term of the related contracts to approximate straight-line amortization. The constant level basis used for amortization is the face amount in force and is projected using the same assumptions used in estimating the liability for future policy benefits. If those projected assumptions change in future periods, they will be reflected in the cohort level amortization basis at that time. Unexpected changes in the in-force portfolio, due to variances in mortality and lapse experience, are recognized over the contract term. Changes in future mortality and lapse assumptions are also recognized prospectively over the remaining expected contract term.
Future policy benefits
Future policy benefits
For traditional and limited-payment contracts, contracts are grouped into cohorts by contract type and issue year to determine a liability for future policy benefits. The future policy benefit liability (FPBL) is the present value of estimated future policy benefits to be paid to or on behalf of policyholders and certain related expenses less the present value of estimated future net premiums to be collected from policyholders, and is accrued as premium revenue is recognized. The valuation of this liability requires management to make estimates and assumptions regarding expenses, mortality, and persistency. Estimates are primarily based on historical experience. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

The liability is adjusted for differences between actual and expected experience. With the exception of the expense assumption, we review our future cash flow assumptions at least annually to determine if the net premium ratio (NPR), the mechanism used to record the liability as premium is earned, used to calculate the liability should be changed at that time. We have elected to use expense assumptions that are locked in at contract inception and are not subsequently reviewed or updated. Each quarter, we update the cash flows expected over the entire life of each cohort for actual historical experience and projected future cash
flows. These updated cash flows are used to calculate the revised NPR, which is used to derive an updated FPBL as of the beginning of the current reporting period, discounted at the original contract issuance discount rate. This amount is then compared to the carrying amount of the liability as of that same date, but before the updating of cash flow assumptions, to determine the current period change in FPBL. This current period change in the liability is the liability remeasurement gain or loss and is recorded in Policy benefits in the Consolidated statements of operations. In subsequent periods, the revised NPR is used to measure the FPBL until future revisions become required.

For traditional and limited-payment contracts, the discount rate assumption based on an upper-medium grade fixed-income instrument yield. An equivalent rate is derived based on A-credit-rated fixed-income instruments with similar duration to the liability. The discount rate assumption is updated quarterly and used to remeasure the liability at each reporting date, with the resulting change reflected in Other comprehensive income. For liability cash flows that are projected beyond the duration of market-observable A-credit-rated fixed-income instruments, we use the last market-observable yield level, as the basis for a linear interpolation to determine yield assumptions for durations that do not have market-observable yields.

Deferred profit liability
For limited-payment products, gross premiums received in excess of net premiums are deferred at initial recognition as a deferred profit liability (DPL) and recorded as a component of Future policy benefits in the Consolidated balance sheets. Net premiums are measured using actual cash flows and future cash flow assumptions consistent with those used in the measurement of the liability for future policy benefits and remeasured quarterly. The DPL is amortized in proportion to the discounted in-force policies. Interest is accreted on the balance of the DPL using the discount rate consistent with the interest accretion on the FPBL. The recalculated DPL, including adjusted amortization through the current period, is compared to the current carrying amount and the difference is recognized as an adjustment to Policy benefits in the Consolidated statements of operations as a remeasurement gain or loss.
Market Risk Benefit
Market risk benefits
Chubb reinsures various death and living benefit guarantees associated with variable annuities issued primarily in the United States, which are referred to as market risk benefits. These reinsurance contracts provide both protection to the ceding entity from other-than-nominal capital market risk and expose us to other-than-nominal capital market risk.

Market risk benefits are measured at fair value using a valuation model based on current net exposures, market data, our experience, and other factors. Changes in fair value are recognized in Market risk benefits gains (losses) in the Consolidated statements of operations, except the change in fair value due to a change in the instrument-specific credit risk, which is recognized in other comprehensive income. Refer to Note 11 for additional information.
Huatai asset management non-premium revenue Asset management and performance fee revenue and expensesHuatai's asset management companies recognize revenue and expenses unrelated to Chubb's core insurance operations from the management of third-party assets. These revenues include fixed-rate management fees, which are recognized in the period in which the services are performed, and asset performance fees, which are recognized to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur. These fees and expenses are included in Other (income) expense on the Consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 17 for additional information.
loans and leases receivable policy Private debt held-for-investment, at amortized costPrivate debt held-for-investment are investments related principally to the funding of public and private projects that are mostly infrastructure related, and were acquired as part of Huatai’s investment portfolio upon consolidation. They have stated interest rates and maturity dates with fixed or determinable payments. Private debt held-for-investment are carried at amortized cost, net of a valuation allowance for credit losses. Interest income is recorded when earned.
Other Investment
Other investments
Chubb consolidates entities in which it has a controlling interest or is a primary beneficiary of a VIE. Huatai’s asset management businesses create investment entities known as sponsored investment products which include mutual funds with primary holdings in fixed maturities.
Other investments principally comprised these fixed maturities. These securities are reported at fair value with changes in fair value reported through the Consolidated statements of operations within Net realized gains (losses) as required under investment company accounting standards.
Consolidation, Variable Interest Entity, Policy Consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs)Chubb consolidates entities in which it has a controlling interest or is a primary beneficiary of a VIE. Huatai's asset management businesses create investment entities known as sponsored investment products which include mutual funds with primary holdings in fixed maturities. These entities are created for varied purposes during the ordinary course of business, such as to obtain returns from investments, and to collect management fees for the assets managed on behalf of the third party investors. While many investors may not be related parties, Huatai invests in these funds at various ownership percentages. We determined that we are the primary beneficiary of these VIEs and generally consolidate when we hold an economic interest of 10 percent or more. The consolidation of VIEs records 100 percent of the underlying assets and liabilities of the mutual funds within the Consolidated balance sheets. The relevant amounts attributable to investors other than Chubb are reflected as Noncontrolling interests. Where Huatai's ownership in these sponsored investment products is less than 10 percent, we generally would not expect to be the primary beneficiary of these VIEs. Refer to Note 3 g) for additional information.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair Value Measurement, Policy
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

Private debt held-for-investment is related to Huatai and its consolidation. The fair value of Private debt held-for-investment is derived using a discounted cash flow approach, which includes an evaluation of forecasted contractual cash flows and yield curve information, among other loan characteristics and assumptions. These assumptions are derived from internal and third party sources. Since the valuation is derived from model-based techniques, Private debt held-for-investment is classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Schedule Of Significant Unobservable Inputs Used In Level 3 Liability Valuations
For MRB, Chubb estimates fair value using an internal valuation model which includes 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. All reinsurance treaties contain claim limits, which are also factored into the valuation model.
