General

a) Basis of presentation
On January 14, 2016, we completed the acquisition of The Chubb Corporation (Chubb Corp), creating a global leader in property and casualty insurance. We have changed our name from ACE Limited to Chubb Limited and plan to adopt the Chubb name globally, although some subsidiaries may continue to use ACE as a part of their name.

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. Effective the first quarter of 2016, 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. This reflects our significantly larger and expanded operations subsequent to our acquisition of Chubb Corp. We have also redefined Corporate to include all run-off asbestos and environmental (A&E) exposures, the results of our run-off Brandywine business, the results of Westchester specialty operations for 1996 and prior years, and certain run-off exposures. Prior period amounts of Chubb Limited (i.e., excluding the historical results of Chubb Corp) contained in this report have been adjusted to conform to the new segment presentation. Refer to Note 12 for additional information.

The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of Chubb Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively, Chubb, we, us, or our), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting of normally recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement of the results and financial position for such periods. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions, including internal reinsurance transactions, have been eliminated.

The results of operations and cash flows of Chubb Corp are included from the acquisition date forward (i.e., after January 14, 2016). 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 2015 Form 10-K.

b) Accounting guidance adopted in 2016

Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs
In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued new guidance related to the accounting for debt issuance costs.  The new guidance requires presentation of debt issuance costs in the Consolidated balance sheets as a reduction of the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of as a deferred charge. We retrospectively adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2016 and reclassified $60 million of debt issuance costs from Other assets to Long term debt ($58 million) and Trust preferred securities ($2 million) as of December 31, 2015.
 
c) Accounting guidance not yet adopted

Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard that supersedes most existing revenue recognition guidance. The standard excludes from its scope the accounting for insurance contracts, leases, financial instruments, and certain other agreements that are governed under other GAAP guidance, but could affect the revenue recognition for certain of our claims management and risk control services. The updated guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue as performance obligations are met, in order to reflect the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity is entitled to receive for those goods or services. The standard is effective for us in the first quarter of 2018 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Short-Duration Contracts
In May 2015, the FASB issued guidance that requires additional disclosures for short-duration insurance contracts. New disclosure will be required to provide more information about initial claim estimates and subsequent adjustments to those estimates, the methodologies and judgments used to estimate claims, and the timing, frequency, and severity of claims. The guidance is effective for us beginning with our 2016 annual reporting on Form 10-K. The guidance requires a change in disclosure only and adoption of this guidance will not have an impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance that affects the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The guidance requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized through net income (other than those accounted for under equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) and an assessment of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets related to unrealized losses of available for sale debt securities in combination with other deferred tax assets. The standard is effective for us in the first quarter of 2018. We are in the process of evaluating the effect the updated guidance will have on our financial condition and results of operations.

Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance on the accounting for credit losses of financial instruments that are measured at amortized cost, including held to maturity securities and reinsurance recoverables, by applying an approach based on the current expected credit losses (CECL). The estimate of expected credit losses should consider historical information, current information, as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts, including estimates of prepayments. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset in order to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset on the consolidated balance sheet.

The guidance also amends the current available for sale (AFS) security other-than-temporary impairment model by requiring an estimate of the expected credit loss (ECL) only when the fair value is below the amortized cost of the asset. The length of time the fair value of an AFS debt security has been below the amortized cost will no longer impact the determination of whether a credit loss exists. The AFS debt security model will also require the use of a valuation allowance.

The standard is effective for us in the first quarter of 2020 with early adoption permitted in the first quarter of 2019. We will be able to assess the impact of adopting this guidance on our financial condition and results of operations closer to the date of adoption.

Stock Compensation
In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance which requires recognition of the excess tax benefits or deficiencies of awards through net income rather than through additional paid in capital. Additionally, entities can elect to account for forfeitures related to share-based payments either as they occur or through an estimation method. If elected, the change to recognize forfeitures as they occur would be adopted using a modified retrospective approach, with a cumulative effect adjustment recorded to retained earnings. The updated guidance is effective for us in the first quarter of 2017 with early adoption permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the effect the updated guidance will have on our financial condition and results of operations.

Acquisitions

The Chubb Corporation
On January 14, 2016, we completed the acquisition of Chubb Corp, a leading provider of middle-market commercial, specialty, surety, and personal insurance for $29.5 billion, comprising $14.3 billion in cash and $15.2 billion in newly-issued stock, based on the Chubb Limited (formerly ACE Limited) closing price on the acquisition date. In addition, we assumed outstanding equity awards to employees and directors with an attributed value of approximately $323 million. The total consideration, including the assumption of equity awards, was $29.8 billion. We financed the cash portion of the transaction through a combination of $9.0 billion sourced from various Chubb Limited and Chubb Corp companies plus $5.3 billion of senior notes, which were issued in November 2015. Refer to Note 7 for additional information on the senior notes.
   
Upon completion of the merger, each Chubb Corp common share (other than shares held by certain legacy Chubb Corp employee benefit plans) was canceled and converted, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the merger agreement, into the right to receive (i) 0.6019 of a Chubb Limited common share and (ii) $62.93 in cash. In addition, replacement equity awards were issued by Chubb Limited to the holders of Chubb Corp's outstanding equity awards (stock options, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, deferred unit obligations, and performance units).

We believe the Chubb Corp acquisition is highly complementary to our existing business lines, distribution channels, customer segments, and underwriting skills. The Chubb Corp has a substantial presence in the U.S. with a broad variety of coverages serving large corporate and upper middle market accounts, middle market and small commercial accounts, and personal lines. Together we are one of the largest commercial insurers in the U.S. Internationally, where legacy ACE is a truly global insurer with extensive presence in 54 countries, Chubb Corp's operations in 25 markets are expected to add to our presence and capabilities and position us to better pursue important market opportunities globally. The combined company is a leader in a number of global specialty and traditional products such as professional lines, risk management, workers' compensation, accident and health (A&H), and other property and general casualty lines.
The table below details the purchase consideration and preliminary allocation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. During the second quarter of 2016, we reassessed certain components of our preliminary estimates of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including the net realizable value for Reinsurance recoverables on losses and loss expenses and Insurance and reinsurance balances receivables and certain components of the Deferred tax liabilities, which resulted in an adjustment to our preliminary estimates that increased Goodwill by $81 million. These estimates remain preliminary and are subject to adjustment. While they are not expected to be materially different than those shown, any material adjustments to the estimates will be reflected, retroactively, as of the date of the acquisition.

The estimated fair value of the replacement equity awards was $525 million, of which $323 million was attributed to service periods prior to the acquisition and was included in the purchase consideration. Refer to Note 10 for further information on these replacement equity awards.
Direct costs related to the Chubb Corp acquisition were expensed as incurred. Chubb integration expenses were $98 million and $246 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and include all internal and external costs directly related to the integration activities of the Chubb Corp acquisition, primarily personnel-related expenses, including severance and employee retention and relocation; consulting fees; and advisor fees.
We recognized goodwill of $10.5 billion, attributable to expected growth and profitability, none of which is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes, indefinite lived intangible assets of $2.9 billion and finite lived intangible assets of $4.8 billion, which will be amortized over their estimated useful lives, ranging from one to 24 years. Refer to Note 6 for additional information.

Prior year acquisition

Fireman's Fund Insurance Company High Net Worth Personal Lines Insurance Business in the U.S. (Fireman's Fund)
On April 1, 2015, we acquired the Fireman's Fund Insurance Company high net worth personal lines insurance business in the U.S., which included the renewal rights for new and existing business and reinsurance of all existing reserves for $365 million in cash. We acquired assets with a fair value of $753 million, consisting primarily of cash of $629 million and insurance and reinsurance balances receivable of $124 million. We assumed liabilities with a fair value of $863 million, consisting primarily of unpaid losses and loss expenses of $417 million and unearned premiums of $428 million. This acquisition generated $196 million of goodwill, attributable to expected growth and profitability, all of which is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes, and other intangible assets of $278 million, primarily related to renewal rights, based on Chubb’s purchase price allocation. During the third quarter of 2015, we recorded an adjustment to the valuation of our other intangible assets. The acquisition expanded our position in the high net worth personal lines insurers in the U.S. The Fireman’s Fund business was integrated into our existing high net worth personal lines business, offering a broad range of coverage including homeowners, automobile, umbrella and excess liability, collectibles, and yachts. Goodwill and other intangible assets arising from this acquisition are included in our North America Personal P&C Insurance segment.

The consolidated financial statements include results of acquired businesses from the acquisition dates.

As discussed in Note 3 c), if a credit loss is incurred on an impaired fixed maturity, an OTTI is considered to have occurred and the portion of the impairment not related to credit losses (non-credit OTTI) is recognized in OCI. Included in the “OTTI Recognized in AOCI” columns above are the cumulative amounts of non-credit OTTI recognized in OCI adjusted for subsequent sales, maturities, and redemptions. OTTI recognized in AOCI does not include the impact of subsequent changes in fair value of the related securities. In periods subsequent to a recognition of OTTI in OCI, changes in the fair value of the related fixed maturities are reflected in Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, $21 million and $44 million, respectively, of net unrealized appreciation related to such securities is included in OCI. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, nil and $4 million, respectively, of net unrealized appreciation related to such securities is included in OCI. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, AOCI included cumulative net unrealized depreciation of $3 million and $35 million, respectively, related to securities remaining in the investment portfolio for which a non-credit OTTI was recognized.

Mortgage-backed securities (MBS) issued by U.S. government agencies are combined with all other to be announced mortgage derivatives held (refer to Note 8 c) (iv)) and are included in the category, “Mortgage-backed securities.” Approximately 79 percent and 81 percent of the total mortgage-backed securities at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, are represented by investments in U.S. government agency bonds. The remainder of the mortgage exposure consists of collateralized mortgage obligations and non-government mortgage-backed securities, the majority of which provide a planned structure for principal and interest payments and carry a rating of AAA by the major credit rating agencies.

c) Net realized gains (losses)
In accordance with guidance related to the recognition and presentation of OTTI, when an impairment related to a fixed maturity has occurred, OTTI is required to be recorded in Net income if management has the intent to sell the security or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost. Further, in cases where we do not intend to sell the security and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell the security, Chubb must evaluate the security to determine the portion of the impairment, if any, related to credit losses. If a credit loss is incurred, an OTTI is considered to have occurred and any portion of the OTTI related to credit losses must be reflected in Net income while the portion of OTTI related to all other factors is recognized in OCI. For fixed maturities held to maturity, OTTI recognized in OCI is accreted from AOCI to the amortized cost of the fixed maturity prospectively over the remaining term of the securities.

Each quarter, securities in an unrealized loss position (impaired securities), including fixed maturities, securities lending collateral, equity securities, and other investments, are reviewed to identify impaired securities to be specifically evaluated for a potential OTTI.

For all non-fixed maturities, OTTI is evaluated based on the following:

the amount of time a security has been in a loss position and the magnitude of the loss position;
the period in which cost is expected to be recovered, if at all, based on various criteria including economic conditions and other issuer-specific developments; and
Our ability and intent to hold the security to the expected recovery period.

As a general rule, we also consider that equity securities in an unrealized loss position for twelve consecutive months are other than temporarily impaired. For mutual funds included in equity securities in our consolidated balance sheet, we employ analysis similar to fixed maturities, when applicable.

We review each fixed maturity in an unrealized loss position to assess whether the security is a candidate for credit loss. Specifically, we consider credit rating, market price, and issuer-specific financial information, among other factors, to assess the likelihood of collection of all principal and interest as contractually due. Securities for which we determine that credit loss is likely are subjected to further analysis to estimate the credit loss recognized in Net income, if any. In general, credit loss recognized in Net income equals the difference between the security’s amortized cost and the net present value of its projected future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate implicit in the debt security. All significant assumptions used in determining credit losses are subject to change as market conditions evolve.

Projected cash flows for corporate securities (principally senior unsecured bonds) are driven primarily by assumptions regarding probability of default and also the timing and amount of recoveries associated with defaults. Chubb developed projected cash flows for corporate securities using market observable data, issuer-specific information, and credit ratings. We use historical default data by Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s) rating category to calculate a 1-in-100 year probability of default, which results in a default assumption in excess of the historical mean default rate. Consistent with management's approach, Chubb assumed a 32 percent recovery rate (the par value of a defaulted security that will be recovered) across all rating categories rather than using Moody's historical mean recovery rate of 42 percent. We believe that use of a default assumption in excess of the historical mean is conservative in light of current market conditions.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, credit losses recognized in Net income for corporate securities were $7 million and $24 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, credit losses recognized in Net income for corporate securities were $5 million and $9 million, respectively.

For mortgage-backed securities, credit impairment is assessed using a cash flow model that estimates the cash flows on the underlying mortgages, using the security-specific collateral and transaction structure. The model estimates cash flows from the underlying mortgage loans and distributes those cash flows to various tranches of securities, considering the transaction structure and any subordination and credit enhancements that exist in that structure. The cash flow model incorporates actual cash flows on the mortgage-backed securities through the current period and then projects the remaining cash flows using a number of assumptions, including default rates, prepayment rates, and loss severity rates (the par value of a defaulted security that will not be recovered) on foreclosed properties.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, there were no credit losses recognized in Net income for mortgage-backed securities.
The following table presents the Net realized gains (losses) and the losses included in Net realized gains (losses) and OCI as a result of conditions which caused us to conclude the decline in fair value of certain investments was “other-than-temporary”:

d) Gross unrealized loss
At June 30, 2016, there were 4,157 fixed maturities out of a total of 30,835 fixed maturities in an unrealized loss position. The largest single unrealized loss in the fixed maturities was $4 million. There were 93 equity securities out of a total of 297 equity securities in an unrealized loss position. The largest single unrealized loss in the equity securities was $2 million. Fixed maturities in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2016, comprised both investment grade and below investment grade securities for which fair value declined primarily due to widening credit spreads since the date of purchase.

The following tables present, for all securities in an unrealized loss position (including securities on loan), the aggregate fair value and gross unrealized loss by length of time the security has continuously been in an unrealized loss position:

e) Restricted assets
Chubb is required to maintain assets on deposit with various regulatory authorities to support its insurance and reinsurance operations. These requirements are generally promulgated in the statutory regulations of the individual jurisdictions. The assets on deposit are available to settle insurance and reinsurance liabilities. Chubb is also required to restrict assets pledged under repurchase agreements, which represent Chubb's agreement to sell securities and repurchase them at a future date for a predetermined price. We also 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 also have investments in segregated portfolios primarily to provide collateral or guarantees for LOC and derivative transactions. Included in restricted assets at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, are investments, primarily fixed maturities, totaling $18.6 billion and $16.9 billion, respectively, and cash of $80 million and $110 million, respectively.

Fair value measurements
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. Accordingly, transfers between levels within the valuation hierarchy occur when there are significant changes to the inputs, such as increases or decreases in market activity, changes to the availability of current prices, changes to the transparency to underlying inputs, and whether there are significant variances in quoted prices. Transfers in and/or out of any level are assumed to occur at the end of the period.

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, 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), which may increase the potential that an investment's estimated fair value is not reflective of the price at which an actual transaction would occur. The overwhelming majority of fixed maturities are classified within Level 2 because the most significant inputs used in the pricing techniques are observable. For a small number of fixed maturities, we obtain a single broker quote (typically from a market maker). Due to the disclaimers on the quotes that indicate that the price is indicative only, we include these fair value estimates in Level 3. 

Equity securities
Equity securities with active markets are classified within Level 1 as fair values are based on quoted market prices. For equity securities in markets which are less active, fair values are based on market valuations and are classified within Level 2. Equity securities for which pricing is unobservable are classified within Level 3.

Short-term investments
Short-term investments, which comprise securities due to mature within one year of the date of purchase that are traded in active markets, are classified within Level 1 as fair values are based on quoted market prices. Securities such as commercial paper and discount notes are classified within Level 2 because these securities are typically not actively traded due to their approaching maturity and, as such, their cost approximates fair value. Short-term investments for which pricing is unobservable are classified within Level 3.

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

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

Investment derivative instruments
Actively traded investment derivative instruments, including futures, options, and forward contracts are classified within Level 1 as fair values are based on quoted market prices. The fair value of cross-currency swaps are based on market valuations and are 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 generally maintain positions in other derivative instruments including exchange-traded equity futures contracts and option contracts designed to limit exposure to a severe equity market decline, which would cause an increase in expected claims and, therefore, an increase in reserves for our guaranteed minimum death benefits (GMDB) and guaranteed living benefits (GLB) reinsurance business. Our position in exchange-traded equity futures contracts is classified within Level 1. At June 30, 2016, we held no positions in option contracts on equity market indices. The fair value of the majority of the remaining positions in other derivative instruments is based on significant observable inputs including equity security and interest rate indices. Accordingly, these are classified within Level 2. Other derivative instruments based on unobservable inputs are classified within Level 3. Other derivative instruments are recorded in either Other assets or Accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Separate account assets
Separate account assets represent segregated funds where investment risks are borne by the customers, except to the extent of certain guarantees made by Chubb. Separate account assets comprise mutual funds classified within Level 1 in the valuation hierarchy on the same basis as other equity securities traded in active markets. Separate account assets also include fixed maturities classified within Level 2 because the most significant inputs used in the pricing techniques are observable. Excluded from the valuation hierarchy are the corresponding liabilities as they are reported at contract value and not fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. Separate account assets are recorded in Other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

Guaranteed living benefits
The GLB arises from life reinsurance programs covering living benefit guarantees whereby we assume the risk of guaranteed minimum income benefits (GMIB) and guaranteed minimum accumulation benefits (GMAB) associated with variable annuity contracts. GLB’s are recorded in Accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities and Future policy benefits in the consolidated balance sheets. For GLB reinsurance, Chubb estimates fair value using an internal valuation model which includes current market information and estimates of policyholder behavior. All of the treaties contain claim limits, which are factored into the valuation model. The fair value depends on a number of factors, including interest rates, equity markets, credit risk, current account value, market volatility, expected annuitization rates and other policyholder behavior, and changes in policyholder mortality.

The most significant policyholder behavior assumptions include lapse rates and the GMIB annuitization rates. Assumptions regarding lapse rates and GMIB annuitization rates differ by treaty, but the underlying methodologies to determine rates applied to each treaty are comparable.

A lapse rate is the percentage of in-force policies surrendered in a given calendar year. All else equal, as lapse rates increase, ultimate claim payments will decrease.

GMIB annuitization rate is the percentage of policies for which the policyholder will elect to annuitize using the guaranteed benefit provided under the GMIB. All else equal, as GMIB annuitization rates increase, ultimate claim payments will increase, subject to treaty claim limits.

The effect of changes in key market factors on assumed lapse and annuitization rates reflect emerging trends using data available from cedants. For treaties with limited experience, rates are established in line with data received from other ceding companies adjusted, as appropriate, with industry estimates. The model and related assumptions are regularly re-evaluated by management and enhanced, as appropriate, based upon additional experience obtained related to policyholder behavior and availability of updated information such as market conditions, market participant assumptions, and demographics of in-force annuities. Because of the significant use of unobservable inputs including policyholder behavior, GLB reinsurance is classified within Level 3. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, no material technical refinements were made to the model. For detailed information on our lapse and annuitization rate assumptions, refer to Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2015 Form 10-K.

Included in all categories in the above table except for Investment funds are investments for which Chubb will never have the contractual option to redeem but receives distributions based on the liquidation of the underlying assets. Further, for all categories except for Investment funds, Chubb does not have the ability to sell or transfer the investments without the consent from the general partner of individual funds.
Investment Category
 
Consists of investments in private equity funds:
Financial
 
targeting financial services companies such as financial institutions and insurance services worldwide
Real Assets
 
targeting investments related to hard physical assets such as real estate, infrastructure and natural resources
Distressed
 
targeting distressed corporate debt/credit and equity opportunities in the U.S.
Private Credit
 
targeting privately originated corporate debt investments including senior secured loans and subordinated bonds
Traditional
 
employing traditional private equity investment strategies such as buyout and growth equity globally
Vintage
 
made before 2002 and where the funds’ commitment periods had already expired

Investment funds
Chubb’s 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 range between 5 and 120 days. Chubb can redeem its investment funds without consent from the investment fund managers.

Level 3 financial instruments
The fair values of assets and liabilities measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) consist of various inputs and assumptions that management makes when determining fair value. Management analyzes changes in fair value measurements classified within Level 3 by comparing pricing and returns of our investments to benchmarks, including month-over-month movements, investment credit spreads, interest rate movements, and credit quality of securities.

The following table presents the significant unobservable inputs used in the Level 3 liability valuations. Excluded from the table below are inputs used to determine the fair value of Level 3 assets which are based on single broker quotes and contain no quantitative unobservable inputs developed by management.

Our GLB reinsurance product meets the definition of a derivative instrument for accounting purposes and is accordingly carried at fair value. Excluded from the table above is the portion of the GLB derivative liability classified as Future policy benefits in the consolidated balance sheets. The liability for GLB reinsurance was $615 million at June 30, 2015, and $663 million at December 31, 2014, which includes a fair value derivative adjustment of $347 million and $406 million, respectively.


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.

Investments in partially-owned insurance companies
Fair values for investments in partially-owned insurance companies are based on Chubb’s share of the net assets based on the financial statements provided by those companies and are excluded from the valuation hierarchy tables below.

Short- and long-term debt, repurchase agreements, and trust preferred securities
Where practical, fair values for short-term debt, long-term debt, repurchase agreements, and trust preferred securities are estimated using discounted cash flow calculations based principally on observable inputs including incremental borrowing rates, which reflect Chubb’s credit rating, for similar types of borrowings with maturities consistent with those remaining for the debt being valued.

The following tables present fair value, by valuation hierarchy, and carrying value of the financial instruments not measured at fair value:

Net realized gains (losses) in the table above include gains (losses) related to foreign exchange and fair value adjustments on insurance derivatives and exclude gains (losses) on S&P put options and futures used to partially offset the risk in the GLB reinsurance portfolio. Refer to Note 8 for additional information.

The reported liability for GMDB reinsurance was $118 million and $117 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the reported liability for GLB reinsurance was $1.3 billion and $888 million, respectively, which includes a fair value derivative adjustment of $971 million and $609 million, respectively. Reported liabilities for both GMDB and GLB reinsurance are determined using internal valuation models. Such valuations require considerable judgment and are subject to significant uncertainty. The valuation of these products is subject to fluctuations arising from, among other factors, changes in interest rates, changes in equity markets, changes in credit markets, changes in the allocation of the investments underlying annuitants’ account values, and assumptions regarding future policyholder behavior. These models and the related assumptions are regularly reviewed by management and enhanced, as appropriate, based upon improvements in modeling assumptions and availability of updated information, such as market conditions and demographics of in-force annuities.

At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, Goodwill was $15.5 billion and $4.8 billion, respectively, and Other intangible assets were $7.4 billion and $887 million, respectively. The increases in Goodwill and Other intangible assets reflect the goodwill and intangible assets recorded in connection with the Chubb Corp acquisition.

Additionally, in connection with the Chubb Corp acquisition, we recorded an increase to Unpaid losses and loss expenses acquired as part of Chubb Corp of $715 million to adjust the carrying value of Chubb Corp's historical unpaid losses and loss expenses to fair value as of the acquisition date. The estimated fair value consists of the present value of the expected net unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses payments adjusted for an estimated risk margin. The expected cash flows are discounted at a risk free rate. The estimated risk margin varies based on the inherent risks associated with each type of reserve. This fair value adjustment was recorded within Unpaid losses and loss expenses on the Consolidated balance sheets and will amortize through Amortization of purchased intangibles on the Consolidated statements of operations over a range of 5 to 17 years, based on the estimated payout patterns of unpaid loss and loss expenses as of the acquisition date.

The following table presents, as of June 30, 2016, the expected estimated pre-tax amortization expense (benefit), at current foreign currency exchange rates, for the third and fourth quarters of 2016 and the next five years, related to purchased intangibles as well as the fair value adjustment to Unpaid losses and loss expenses described above:

Debt
Debt Disclosure [Text Block]
Debt
In connection with the Chubb Corp acquisition, Chubb INA Holdings Inc. (formerly ACE INA Holdings Inc.) assumed $3.3 billion par value outstanding debt of Chubb Corp, fair valued at $3.8 billion at the acquisition date. Chubb INA Holdings Inc. (Chubb INA) assumed Chubb Corp's rights, duties and obligations and Chubb Limited fully and unconditionally guarantees Chubb INA's payment obligations under these debts. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2016 we adopted new guidance that required debt issuance costs be recorded as a reduction of the carrying amount of the related debt liability (these costs were previously included in Other assets on the Consolidated balance sheets). The debt balances at December 31, 2015 have been updated to reflect the adoption of this guidance.

Redemption prices(2)
(1) 
6.375% interest rate through April 14, 2017; interest rate equal to three month LIBOR rate plus 2.25% thereafter.
(2) 
Redemption price is equal to accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date plus the greater of (i) 100 percent of the principal amount thereof, or (ii) sum of present value of scheduled payments of principal and interest on the debentures from the redemption date to April 1, 2030.

Certain of Chubb INA's senior notes and capital securities are redeemable at any time at Chubb INA's option subject to the provisions described in the table above. A "make-whole" premium is the present value of the remaining principal and interest discounted at the applicable U.S. Treasury rate. The senior notes and capital securities are also redeemable at par plus accrued and unpaid interest in the event of certain changes in tax law.
We have outstanding $1.0 billion of unsecured junior subordinated capital securities at June 30, 2016, which were assumed by Chubb INA in connection with the Chubb Corp acquisition. The capital securities will become due on April 15, 2037, the scheduled maturity date, but only to the extent that we have received sufficient net proceeds from the sale of certain qualifying capital securities. We must use commercially reasonable efforts, subject to certain market disruption events, to sell enough qualifying capital securities to permit repayment of the capital securities on the scheduled maturity date or as soon thereafter as possible. Any remaining outstanding principal amount will be due on March 29, 2067, the final maturity date. The capital securities bear interest at a rate of 6.375 percent through April 14, 2017. Thereafter, the capital securities will bear interest at a rate equal to the three-month LIBOR rate plus 2.25 percent. Subject to certain conditions, we have the right to defer the payment of interest on the capital securities for a period not exceeding ten consecutive years. During any such period, interest will continue to accrue and we generally may not declare or pay any dividends on or purchase any shares of our capital stock.
In connection with the issuance of capital securities, a replacement capital covenant was entered into in which we agreed that we will not repay, redeem, or purchase capital securities before March 29, 2047, unless, subject to certain limitations, we have received proceeds from the sale of specified replacement capital securities. The replacement capital covenant is not intended for the benefit of holders of the capital securities and may not be enforced by them. The replacement capital covenant is for the benefit of holders of one or more designated series of Chubb's indebtedness, which initially was and continues to be its 6.8 percent debentures due November 2031.
Subject to the replacement capital covenant, the $1.0 billion capital securities may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time (i) on or after April 15, 2017 at a redemption price equal to the principal amount plus any accrued interest or (ii) prior to April 15, 2017 at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) the principal amount or (2) a make-whole premium, in each case plus any accrued interest.

a) Derivative instruments
Foreign currency management
As a global company, Chubb entities transact business in multiple currencies. Our policy is to generally match assets, liabilities, and required capital for each individual jurisdiction in local currency, which would include the use of derivatives discussed below. We do not hedge our net asset non-U.S. dollar capital positions; however, we do consider hedging for planned cross border transactions.

Derivative instruments employed
Chubb maintains positions in derivative instruments such as futures, options, swaps, and foreign currency forward contracts for which the primary purposes are to manage duration and foreign currency exposure, yield enhancement, or to obtain an exposure to a particular financial market. Chubb also maintains positions in convertible securities that contain embedded derivatives. Investment derivative instruments are recorded in either Other assets (OA) or Accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities (AP), convertible bonds are recorded in Fixed maturities available for sale (FM AFS), and convertible equity securities are recorded in Equity securities (ES) in the consolidated balance sheets. These are the most numerous and frequent derivative transactions.

In addition, Chubb from time to time purchases to be announced mortgage-backed securities (TBAs) as part of its investing activities.

Under reinsurance programs covering GLBs, Chubb assumes the risk of GLBs, including GMIB and GMAB, associated with variable annuity contracts. The GMIB risk is triggered if, at the time the contract holder elects to convert the accumulated account value to a periodic payment stream (annuitize), the accumulated account value is not sufficient to provide a guaranteed minimum level of monthly income. The GMAB risk is triggered if, at contract maturity, the contract holder’s account value is less than a guaranteed minimum value. The GLB reinsurance product meets the definition of a derivative instrument. Benefit reserves in respect of GLBs are classified as Future policy benefits (FPB) while the fair value derivative adjustment is classified within AP. Chubb also generally maintains positions in exchange-traded equity futures contracts and options on equity market indices to limit equity exposure in the GMDB and GLB blocks of business. At June 30, 2016, we held no positions in option contracts on equity market indices.

All derivative instruments are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in Net realized gains (losses) in the Consolidated statements of operations. None of the derivative instruments are designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, derivative liabilities of $51 million and derivative assets of $1 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) 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. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, our securities lending collateral was $1,142 million and $1,046 million, respectively, and our securities lending payable, reflecting our obligation to return the collateral plus interest, was $1,143 million and $1,047 million, respectively. 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:

The carrying value of the securities lending collateral held is $1 million lower than the securities lending payable due to accrued interest recorded in the securities lending payable.

At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, our repurchase agreement obligations of $1,405 million and $1,404 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 Equity securities and the repurchase agreement obligation is recorded in Repurchase agreements in the consolidated balance sheets.

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.

c) Derivative instrument objectives
(i) Foreign currency exposure management
A foreign currency forward contract (forward) is an agreement between participants to exchange specific foreign 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 reserves for GMDB and GLB reinsurance business.

Options
An option contract conveys to the holder the right, but not the obligation, to purchase or sell a specified amount or value of an underlying security at a fixed price. Option contracts are used in the 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.

Another use for option contracts is to limit exposure to a severe equity market decline, which would cause an increase in expected claims and therefore, an increase in reserves for GMDB and GLB reinsurance business.

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

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

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

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

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

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

(v) GLB
Under the GLB program, as the assuming entity, Chubb is obligated to provide coverage until the expiration or maturity of the underlying deferred annuity contracts or the expiry of the reinsurance treaty. Premiums received under the reinsurance treaties are classified as premium. Expected losses allocated to premiums received are classified as Future policy benefits and valued similar to GMDB reinsurance. Other changes in fair value, principally arising from changes in expected losses allocated to expected future premiums, are classified as Net realized gains (losses). Fair value represents management’s estimate of an exit price and thus, includes a risk margin. We may recognize a realized loss for other changes in fair value due to adverse changes in the capital markets (e.g., declining interest rates and/or declining equity markets) and changes in actual or estimated future policyholder behavior (e.g., increased annuitization or decreased lapse rates) although we expect the business to be profitable. We believe this presentation provides the most meaningful disclosure of changes in the underlying risk within the GLB reinsurance programs for a given reporting period.

d) Fixed maturities
At June 30, 2016, we have commitments to purchase fixed income securities of $243 million over the next several years.

e) Other investments
At June 30, 2016, included in Other investments in the consolidated balance sheet are investments in limited partnerships and partially-owned investment companies with a carrying value of $3.3 billion. In connection with these investments, we have commitments that may require funding of up to $2.1 billion over the next several years. 

f) Taxation
At June 30, 2016, $20 million of unrecognized tax benefits remains 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 of taxing authorities. With few exceptions, Chubb is no longer subject to state and local or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2005.

g) Legal proceedings
Our insurance subsidiaries are subject to claims litigation involving disputed interpretations of policy coverages and, in some jurisdictions, direct actions by allegedly-injured persons seeking damages from policyholders. These lawsuits, involving claims on policies issued by our subsidiaries which are typical to the insurance industry in general and in the normal course of business, are considered in our loss and loss expense reserves. In addition to claims litigation, we are subject to lawsuits and regulatory actions in the normal course of business that do not arise from or directly relate to claims on insurance policies. This category of business litigation typically involves, among other things, allegations of underwriting errors or misconduct, employment claims, regulatory activity, or disputes arising from our business ventures. In the opinion of management, our ultimate liability for these matters could be, but we believe is not likely to be, material to our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
Shareholders' equity
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 consolidated financial statements. Under Swiss corporate law, dividends, including distributions through a reduction in par value (par value reduction) or from legal reserves, must be stated in Swiss francs though dividend payments are made by Chubb in U.S. dollars. At June 30, 2016, our Common Shares had a par value of CHF 24.15 per share.

At our May 2014 annual general meeting, our shareholders approved an annual dividend for the following year of $2.60 per share, payable in four quarterly installments of $0.65 per share after the annual general meeting in the form of a distribution by way of a par value reduction.

At our May 2015 annual general meeting, our shareholders approved an annual dividend for the following year of up to $2.68 per share, which was paid in four quarterly installments of $0.67 per share at dates determined by the Board of Directors (Board) after the annual general meeting by way of a distribution from capital contribution reserves, transferred to free reserves for payment.

At our May 2016 annual general meeting, our shareholders approved an annual dividend for the following year of up to $2.76 per share, expected to be paid in four quarterly installments of $0.69 per share after the annual general meeting by way of distribution from capital contribution reserves, transferred to free reserves for payment. The Board will determine the record and payment dates at which the annual dividend may be paid until the date of the 2017 annual general meeting, and is authorized to abstain from distributing a dividend at their discretion.

Common Shares in treasury are used principally for issuance upon the exercise of employee stock options, grants of restricted stock, and purchases under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). At June 30, 2016, 14,770,884 Common Shares remain in treasury after net shares redeemed under employee share-based compensation plans.

Chubb Limited securities repurchase authorization
In November 2014, the Board authorized a share repurchase program of $1.5 billion of Chubb's Common Shares for the period January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, Chubb repurchased $394 million (3,650,200 Common Shares) and $734 million (6,677,663 Common Shares), respectively. There are no outstanding repurchase authorizations subsequent to December 31, 2015.

The ACE Limited 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 2004 LTIP) permitted 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 vesting period, which is also the requisite service period. On February 25, 2016, Chubb granted 1,926,842 stock options with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $21.52 each. The fair value of the options issued is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The 2004 LTIP also permitted 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 stock awards comprise target awards which have four installments that vest annually based on tangible book value (shareholders' equity less goodwill and intangible assets) per share growth compared to a defined group of peer companies, and premium awards, which are earned only if tangible book value per share growth over the cumulative 4-year period after the grant of the associated target awards exceeds a higher threshold compared to our peer group. The restricted stock is granted at market close price on the grant date. On February 25, 2016, Chubb granted 1,119,686 service-based restricted stock awards, 337,581 service-based restricted stock units, and 452,820 performance-based awards to employees and officers with a grant date fair value of $118.39 each. Each restricted stock unit represents our obligation to deliver to the holder one Common Share upon vesting.

In connection with the Chubb Corp acquisition, we assumed outstanding equity awards consisting of service-based restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units, and stock options issued by Chubb Corporation to employees and directors with a fair value of approximately $525 million, of which $323 million is attributed to purchase consideration for the acquisition. These awards were generally granted with a 3-year vesting period, and the stock options generally have a 10-year term.

In May 2016, our shareholders approved the Chubb Limited 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 2016 LTIP), which replaced both the 2004 LTIP and The Chubb Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan (2014). The 2016 LTIP is substantially similar to the 2004 LTIP in its operation and the types of awards that may be granted.

Under the 2016 LTIP, 19,500,000 Common Shares were authorized to be issued, in addition to any shares that have not been delivered pursuant to the 2004 LTIP and remain available for grant pursuant to the 2004 LTIP, including any shares covered by awards granted under the 2004 LTIP that are forfeited, expire or are canceled after the effective date of the 2016 LTIP without delivery of shares or which result in the forfeiture of the shares back to Chubb.
Postretirement benefits Postretirement benefits
Compensation and Employee Benefit Plans [Text Block]
Postretirement benefits

We maintain non-contributory defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement plans that cover certain employees located in the U.S., Europe, Asia, Canada, and Mexico. All underlying plans are subject to periodic actuarial valuations by qualified actuarial firms using actuarial models to calculate the expense and liability for each plan. Components of the funded status of the pension and other postretirement benefit plans are included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Chubb provides postretirement benefits to eligible employees and their dependents through various defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans sponsored by Chubb. With the acquisition, Chubb assumed the outstanding pension obligations of legacy Chubb Corp, which consisted of several non-contributory defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all its employees.

We also assumed the legacy Chubb Corp other postretirement benefits plans, principally health care and life insurance, to retired employees, their beneficiaries, and covered dependents. Health care coverage is contributory. Retiree contributions vary based upon retiree’s age, type of coverage, and years of service requirements. Life insurance coverage is non-contributory. Chubb funds a portion of the health care benefits obligation where such funding can be accomplished on a tax-effective basis. Benefits are paid as covered expenses are incurred.

As part of purchase accounting, Chubb eliminated legacy Chubb Corp’s postretirement benefit costs not yet recognized in Net income that were recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income at the time of the acquisition. In addition, Chubb conformed the accounting policies for the acquired plans of legacy Chubb Corp to the accounting policies of Chubb, including selecting the applicable discount rates using specific spot rates along a yield curve determined by the projected cash flows assumptions. This resulted in a lower overall discount rate used to determine the benefit obligation and therefore increased that obligation at the date of the acquisition.

At the date of the acquisition of Chubb Corp, we assumed the following postretirement benefit plan assets and obligations:

Chubb’s funding policy is to contribute amounts that meet regulatory requirements plus additional amounts determined based on actuarial valuations, market conditions and other factors. All benefit plans satisfy minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we contributed $105 million and $132 million, respectively, to our U.S. and non-U.S. pension and other postretirement benefits plans. At June 30, 2016, we estimate that we will contribute an additional $19 million for the remainder of 2016. These estimates are subject to change due to contribution decisions that are affected by various factors including our liquidity, market performance and management discretion.

Segment information
Segment information
Segment information

Effective the first quarter of 2016, we are reporting our financial results within 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. We have also redefined Corporate to include all run-off asbestos and environmental (A&E) exposures, the results of run-off Brandywine business, the results of Westchester specialty operations for 1996 and prior years and certain other run-off exposures. All legacy ACE prior period amounts (i.e., legacy Chubb Corp prior period results are not included in the prior period amounts in the tables below) have been adjusted to conform to the new segment presentation.

The North America Commercial P&C Insurance segment includes the business written by Chubb divisions that provide property and casualty (P&C) insurance and services to large, middle market and small commercial businesses in the U.S., Bermuda and Canada. These divisions write a variety of coverages, including traditional commercial property, marine, general casualty, workers’ compensation, package policies, and risk management; specialty categories such as professional lines, marine and construction risk, environmental and cyber risk, excess casualty, as well as group accident and health (A&H) insurance. This segment includes our North American Major Accounts and Specialty Insurance (principally large corporate accounts and wholesale business), and the North American Commercial Insurance divisions (principally middle market and small commercial accounts).

The North America Personal P&C Insurance segment includes the business written by Chubb’s North America Personal Risk Services division, which comprises Chubb high net worth personal lines business and ACE Private Risk Services, with operations in U.S. and Canada. This segment provides affluent and high net worth individuals and families with homeowners, automobile, valuables, umbrella and recreational marine insurance and services.

The North America Agricultural Insurance segment includes the business written by Rain and Hail Service, Inc. which provides comprehensive multiple peril crop and crop-hail insurance, and Chubb Agribusiness, which offers farm and ranch property as well as specialty P&C coverages, including commercial agriculture products.

The Overseas General Insurance segment includes the business written by two Chubb divisions that provide P&C insurance and services in the 51 countries outside of North America where the company operates.  Chubb International provides commercial P&C traditional and specialty lines serving large corporations, middle market and small customers, A&H and traditional and specialty personal lines through retail brokers, agents and other channels locally around the world. Chubb Global Markets provides commercial P&C excess and surplus lines and A&H through wholesale brokers in the London market and through Lloyd’s.  These divisions write a variety of coverages, including traditional commercial property and casualty, specialty categories such as financial lines, marine, energy, aviation, political risk and construction risk, as well as group A&H and traditional and specialty personal lines. 

The Global Reinsurance segment primarily includes the reinsurance business written by Chubb Tempest Re as well as the legacy Chubb U.K. Assumed Reinsurance business, which is active, and the legacy Chubb run-off Reinsurance business.

The Life Insurance segment includes the business written by Chubb Life, Chubb Tempest Life Re and Combined Insurance’s North America operations.

Corporate primarily includes loss and loss expenses of asbestos and environmental (A&E) run-off liabilities, and the results of our non-insurance companies including Chubb Limited, Chubb Group Management and Holdings Ltd, and Chubb INA Holdings, Inc. Our exposure to A&E claims principally arises out of liabilities acquired when we purchased Westchester Specialty in 1998, CIGNA’s P&C business in 1999, and legacy Chubb Corp run-off business in 2016, and certain other run-off exposures.

In addition, revenue and expenses managed at the corporate level, including realized gains and losses, interest expense, the non-operating income of our partially-owned entities, amortization of purchased intangibles, Chubb integration expenses, and income taxes will be reported within Corporate. The amortization of purchased intangibles includes amortization of agency distribution relationships and renewal rights, internally developed technology, and the fair value adjustment on acquired loss reserves. Also the amortization of fair value adjustments on acquired invested assets and debt associated with the Chubb Corp acquisition is considered a corporate cost and is therefore included in Corporate. These items will not be allocated to the segment level; therefore, the segment income statement will only include underwriting income, net investment income, and beginning with the second quarter of 2016, 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 that the segments are held accountable for. We determined that this definition of segment income is appropriate and aligns with how the business is managed. As we progress through the integration and refine our processes, we may continue to further refine our segments and segment income measures. The prior periods have been adjusted to conform to the new segment presentation. Chubb integration expenses are one-time in nature and are not related to the on-going business activities of the segments. The Chief Executive Officer does not manage segment results or allocate resources to segments when considering these costs and they are therefore excluded from our definition of segment income.

For segment reporting purposes, certain items have been presented in a different manner below than in the consolidated financial statements. Management uses underwriting income as the main measure of segment performance. Chubb calculates underwriting income by subtracting Losses and loss expenses, Policy benefits, Policy acquisition costs, and Administrative expenses from Net premiums earned. To calculate segment income, include net investment income and other (income) expense. For the North America Agricultural segment, management includes gains and losses on crop derivatives as a component of underwriting income. For example, for the three months ended June 30, 2016, underwriting income in our North America Agricultural Insurance segment was $14 million. This amount includes $2 million of realized losses related to crop derivatives which are reported in Net realized gains (losses) in the Corporate column below.

Chubb maintains two notional multicurrency cash pools (Pools) with a third-party bank. Various Chubb entities participate in one or the other of the Pools, pursuant to which credit and debit balances in individual Chubb accounts are translated daily into a single currency and pooled on a notional basis. Individual Chubb entities are permitted to overdraw on their individual accounts provided the overall Pool balances do not fall below zero. At June 30, 2016, the cash balance of one or more entities was negative; however, the overall Pool balances were positive.

During the second quarter of 2016, we refined our internal expense allocation processes and as a result we were able to more precisely identify which of our wholly-owned subsidiaries were responsible for specific Chubb integration expenses and subsequently transferred Chubb integration expenses of $97 million and income tax benefit of $34 million from Chubb INA Holdings Inc. to the Other Chubb Limited Subsidiaries column above. The offsetting movement is within Equity in earnings of subsidiaries in the Chubb INA Holdings Inc. column above.

General (Policies)
a) Basis of presentation
On January 14, 2016, we completed the acquisition of The Chubb Corporation (Chubb Corp), creating a global leader in property and casualty insurance. We have changed our name from ACE Limited to Chubb Limited and plan to adopt the Chubb name globally, although some subsidiaries may continue to use ACE as a part of their name.

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. Effective the first quarter of 2016, 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. This reflects our significantly larger and expanded operations subsequent to our acquisition of Chubb Corp. We have also redefined Corporate to include all run-off asbestos and environmental (A&E) exposures, the results of our run-off Brandywine business, the results of Westchester specialty operations for 1996 and prior years, and certain run-off exposures. Prior period amounts of Chubb Limited (i.e., excluding the historical results of Chubb Corp) contained in this report have been adjusted to conform to the new segment presentation. Refer to Note 12 for additional information.

The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of Chubb Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively, Chubb, we, us, or our), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting of normally recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement of the results and financial position for such periods. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions, including internal reinsurance transactions, have been eliminated.

The results of operations and cash flows of Chubb Corp are included from the acquisition date forward (i.e., after January 14, 2016). 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 2015 Form 10-K.

b) Accounting guidance adopted in 2016

Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs
In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued new guidance related to the accounting for debt issuance costs.  The new guidance requires presentation of debt issuance costs in the Consolidated balance sheets as a reduction of the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of as a deferred charge. We retrospectively adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2016 and reclassified $60 million of debt issuance costs from Other assets to Long term debt ($58 million) and Trust preferred securities ($2 million) as of December 31, 2015.
c) Accounting guidance not yet adopted

Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard that supersedes most existing revenue recognition guidance. The standard excludes from its scope the accounting for insurance contracts, leases, financial instruments, and certain other agreements that are governed under other GAAP guidance, but could affect the revenue recognition for certain of our claims management and risk control services. The updated guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue as performance obligations are met, in order to reflect the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity is entitled to receive for those goods or services. The standard is effective for us in the first quarter of 2018 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Short-Duration Contracts
In May 2015, the FASB issued guidance that requires additional disclosures for short-duration insurance contracts. New disclosure will be required to provide more information about initial claim estimates and subsequent adjustments to those estimates, the methodologies and judgments used to estimate claims, and the timing, frequency, and severity of claims. The guidance is effective for us beginning with our 2016 annual reporting on Form 10-K. The guidance requires a change in disclosure only and adoption of this guidance will not have an impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance that affects the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The guidance requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized through net income (other than those accounted for under equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) and an assessment of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets related to unrealized losses of available for sale debt securities in combination with other deferred tax assets. The standard is effective for us in the first quarter of 2018. We are in the process of evaluating the effect the updated guidance will have on our financial condition and results of operations.

Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance on the accounting for credit losses of financial instruments that are measured at amortized cost, including held to maturity securities and reinsurance recoverables, by applying an approach based on the current expected credit losses (CECL). The estimate of expected credit losses should consider historical information, current information, as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts, including estimates of prepayments. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset in order to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset on the consolidated balance sheet.

The guidance also amends the current available for sale (AFS) security other-than-temporary impairment model by requiring an estimate of the expected credit loss (ECL) only when the fair value is below the amortized cost of the asset. The length of time the fair value of an AFS debt security has been below the amortized cost will no longer impact the determination of whether a credit loss exists. The AFS debt security model will also require the use of a valuation allowance.

The standard is effective for us in the first quarter of 2020 with early adoption permitted in the first quarter of 2019. We will be able to assess the impact of adopting this guidance on our financial condition and results of operations closer to the date of adoption.

Stock Compensation
In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance which requires recognition of the excess tax benefits or deficiencies of awards through net income rather than through additional paid in capital. Additionally, entities can elect to account for forfeitures related to share-based payments either as they occur or through an estimation method. If elected, the change to recognize forfeitures as they occur would be adopted using a modified retrospective approach, with a cumulative effect adjustment recorded to retained earnings. The updated guidance is effective for us in the first quarter of 2017 with early adoption permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the effect the updated guidance will have on our financial condition and results of operations.

Chubb maintains two notional multicurrency cash pools (Pools) with a third-party bank. Various Chubb entities participate in one or the other of the Pools, pursuant to which credit and debit balances in individual Chubb accounts are translated daily into a single currency and pooled on a notional basis. Individual Chubb entities are permitted to overdraw on their individual accounts provided the overall Pool balances do not fall below zero. At June 30, 2016, the cash balance of one or more entities was negative; however, the overall Pool balances were positive.

During the second quarter of 2016, we refined our internal expense allocation processes and as a result we were able to more precisely identify which of our wholly-owned subsidiaries were responsible for specific Chubb integration expenses and subsequently transferred Chubb integration expenses of $97 million and income tax benefit of $34 million from Chubb INA Holdings Inc. to the Other Chubb Limited Subsidiaries column above. The offsetting movement is within Equity in earnings of subsidiaries in the Chubb INA Holdings Inc. column above.

Chubb maintains two notional multicurrency cash pools (Pools) with a third-party bank. Various Chubb entities participate in one or the other of the Pools, pursuant to which credit and debit balances in individual Chubb accounts are translated daily into a single currency and pooled on a notional basis. Individual Chubb entities are permitted to overdraw on their individual accounts provided the overall Pool balances do not fall below zero. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the cash balance of one or more entities was negative; however, the overall Pool balances were positive.
