Chubb said its P&C net premiums written for the quarter rose by 9.8% to $10.68bn from $9.73bn in the year-ago period.

Furthermore, the income from the life insurance segment stood at $254m, a jump of 140.3% from $106m in the year second quarter of 2022.
According to the insurer, the annualised return on equity (ROE) and annualised core operating ROE were 13.6% and 13.8%, respectively.
Chubb chairman and CEO Evan Greenberg said: “Our exceptional underwriting performance was driven by strong P&C premium revenue growth, excellent current accident year underwriting margins with a record combined ratio of 83.3%, favourable prior period reserve development, and a moderate level of catastrophe losses.
“As I look ahead, we remain confident in our ability to continue the pattern of growth in revenue and earnings, and, in turn, drive double-digit EPS growth.”
The company recently appointed Adrian Habils as the new property head for its general insurance business in Asia.
