To My Fellow Shareholders
Chubb had the best nancial
performance in our company s history
in 2022. :e produced record core
operating income and continued to
capitalize on favorable commercial P C
underwriting conditions around the
world while our consumer businesses
recovered from the pandemic s lingering
effects. 7ogether, we had another year of
double-digit premium revenue growth.
:e once again demonstrated our
risk-taking prowess in an increasingly
perilous world by achieving industryleading underwriting pro tability,
including record P C underwriting
income and an 87.6 combined ratio.
:e produced record investment income
and took advantage of rising interest
rates and widening spreads to reposition
our [ed income portfolio to generate
higher future returns. :e made e[cellent
progress in our efforts to advance
many of our longer-term strategies
that position us for future revenue and
earnings growth. 7hey include, notably,
the acTuisition of Cigna s supplemental
health and life insurance business in Asia
and the regulatory approval to increase
our stake in Huatai Insurance Group
in China. 7ogether, they deepen our
presence in this fast-growing region, now
approaching 20 of the company s global
insurance business.
Altogether, as we look forward, the
combination of P C revenue growth
and underwriting margins, growth in
investment income, and e[pansion of our
life business in Asia, point to continued
operating income and earnings per share
EPS growth for the future.
In this year s letter, as I have done in
the past, I will describe who we are and
our accomplishments and set out the
important elements of our strategy and
obMectives. I will e[plain why we look to
the future with conviction and optimism
for the bene t of our shareholders,
customers and employees despite
the tremendous risk and uncertainty
surrounding us globally. Successful
companies, in my Mudgment, operate with
clarity of purpose, knowing who they are
and why they e[ist. So, let me begin by
describing in Must a few words our uniTue
and distinctive company.
Chubb is the largest publicly traded P C
insurance company and among the top
ve insurers in the world as measured
by market capitalization. 7en years ago,
we were 13, and since then we have
more than tripled our market cap. By the
way, 20 years ago we were 24. :e are
a global insurer, predominantly engaged
in all forms of commercial and consumer
P C, with substantial local operations
in 54 countries and territories, and we
have a sizable and growing Asia life
insurance business. Life insurance now
represents about 13 of our revenue
and earnings if you include a full year
of Cigna and Huatai results. :e have
an enviable long-term track record of
nancial performance, including growth
in earnings and book and tangible
book value, which is underpinned
by distinguished underwriting and
investment performance. At our core,
we are rst an underwriting company,
dedicated to the art and science of
taking risk.
Culturally, we are an ambitious and
highly disciplined organization patient
in long-term strategy and impatient in
e[ecution. Our success navigating the
multi-year commercial P C pricing
cycle is an e[cellent e[ample of strategic
patience. In the years leading up to 2019,
we shrank e[posure, or market share, in
those lines where we were not getting
paid adeTuately to take risk and grew in
others where we were, all while building
our capabilities for future opportunity.
7hen, when other insurers pulled back
because of damage to their balance
sheets and income statements from
underwriting inadeTuately priced and
structured risk, and as a conseTuence
underwriting conditions became more
favorable, we mobilized the organization
and turned on a dime from defense to
offense. Since 2019, we ve grown our
commercial P C business by about 40 .
Strategic patience is also e[empli ed
by our two signature transactions in
Asia last year. Some 15 years ago, we
attempted to acTuire Cigna s accident
and health A H and life insurance
business in the region but were rebuffed
at the time. 7he regulatory approval
to increase our ownership in Huatai
to nearly 85 was the culmination of
a 20-year effort to gain control of
this company.
:e have thoughtfully constructed
and manage a global portfolio of
top-performing, multibillion-dollar
businesses, with substantial scale and
scope for growth. It s a well-balanced mi[
of business 69 comes from commercial
lines, where we insure the smallest to the
largest companies with more than 200
different property and casualty related
products and 31 from consumer
lines, where we insure people s lives
and the things they own everything
from autos to homes and their contents
to cellphones. :e market through an
e[tensive range of channels designed to
