AM Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating (FSR)
of A++ (Superior) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Ratings
(Long-Term ICR) of “aa+” (Superior) of the grouped subsidiaries of
Chubb Limited (Chubb) (Zurich, Switzerland) [NYSE: CB]. These
include Chubb’s rated U.S., Canada, Bermuda, Europe and
Panama-based insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries (collectively
Chubb Group of Insurance Companies, or Chubb Group). Concurrently,
AM Best has affirmed the Long-Term ICRs of “a+” (Excellent) and the
Long-Term Issue Credit Ratings (Long-Term IR) of Chubb Limited and
Chubb INA Holdings LLC (Delaware). In addition, AM Best has
affirmed the FSR of A+ (Superior) and the Long-Term ICRs of “aa-”
(Superior) of Combined Insurance Company of America (Chicago, IL)
and Combined Life Insurance Company of New York (Latham, NY)
(together known as the Combined companies). AM Best also has
affirmed the FSR of A- (Excellent) and the Long-Term ICR of “a-”
(Excellent) of ACE Life Insurance Company (ACE Life) (Stamford,
CT). At the same time, AM Best has affirmed the FSR of A
(Excellent) and the Long-Term ICR of “a+” (Excellent) of Chubb Life
Insurance New Zealand Limited (Chubb Life NZ) (New Zealand). The
outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable. (Please see
the link below for a detailed listing of the companies and
ratings.)
The ratings of the Chubb Group reflect Chubb’s balance sheet
strength, which AM Best assesses as strongest, as well as its very
strong operating performance, favorable business profile and
appropriate enterprise risk management (ERM). Chubb’s very strong
operating performance is anchored in the group’s consistently
highly profitable underwriting performance – as reflected in a
combined ratio in the mid-to-high 80 percent range that notably
outperforms industry averages for highly rated insurers – as well
as consistently solid investment returns on a high-quality
investment portfolio. Chubb’s business profile is notable for its
product and geographic breadth and depth, as Chubb operates in more
than 50 countries and jurisdictions worldwide. Through ACE American
Insurance Company and its pooled and/or substantially reinsured
U.S. affiliates, Chubb is a market leader in U.S. commercial,
specialty and agricultural insurance, as well as personal lines
insurance for high-net-worth customers. Chubb’s rated Bermuda
operations – most notably Chubb Bermuda Insurance Ltd. (a leader in
the excess casualty marketplace, with a leading position among
national and multi-national corporations), and Chubb Tempest
Reinsurance Ltd (an international multiline reinsurer that also
serves as the intra-group reinsurance hub for many of Chubb’s
subsidiaries throughout the world) – are highly capitalized and are
strategic assets for the group. Chubb European Group SE is one of
the group’s largest operating entities and the primary vehicle for
providing a wide variety of coverages and lines of business across
multiple markets to Chubb’s European clients, as do Chubb Canada
and Chubb Panama in their respective markets.
AM Best notes that Chubb’s risk-adjusted capitalization, as
measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR), has consistently
stood at the strongest level, benefiting from a very high-quality
investment portfolio and excellent historical reserve adequacy
position, a solid reinsurance program, and a high quality of
capital, in part reflecting relatively modest reliance on debt in
the group’s capital structure. Tempering capital strength is a
somewhat elevated financial leverage relative to tangible capital,
and a share repurchase program that has constrained capital growth
in recent years.
The ratings of the Combined companies reflect their balance
sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as strong, as well as their
strong operating performance, neutral business profile and
appropriate ERM. The ratings also reflect the companies’ strategic
role in supporting the organization’s global accident & health
segment.
The ratings of ACE Life reflect its balance sheet strength,
which AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its marginal
operating performance, very limited business profile and
appropriate ERM. The ratings also reflect the continued financial
support received from its parent.
The ratings of Chubb Life NZ reflect its balance sheet strength,
which AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its adequate
operating performance, neutral business profile and appropriate
ERM. The ratings also factor in rating enhancement from the
company’s parent and support from Chubb Limited.
A complete listing of Chubb Limited’s FSRs, Long-Term ICRs and
Long-Term IRs also is available.
