Chubb has always believed

underwriting profit rather

than rely on returns on our

investment portfolio to

cover underwriting losses

Accordingly we insure niche

we cannot get the right

Underwriting Discipline

Chubb has always believed in the need to earn an underwriting profit

rather than rely on returns on our investment portfolio to cover under

writing losses Accordingly we insure niche segments that we know and

if we cannot getthe right price for the risk we have been asked to assume

we will not write the business This discipline not only served us well in

2008 but also has allowed us to perform consistently well in the face of

soft market realities Over the past four years intense competition and

excess insurer capital have caused rates for many commercial and

specialty lines to decline resulting in lower premiums and shrinking

margins as claim costs have continued to escalate This was compounded

in 2008 by the worldwide recessionary decline in economic activity

payrolls and property values which put further downward pressure on

both insurable exposures and rates as competitors scrambled to retain

their accounts and win slice of the smaller pie of available new business

Although 2008 underwriting income pre-tax decreased to

$1.4 billion due to the cumulative effect of four yearsof declining rates

and heavy catastrophe losses in 2008 it was the third-best underwriting

profit in our history Net written premiums in 2008 decreased only 1% to

$11.8 billion Our combined loss and expense ratio in 2008 was 88.7%

compared to 82.9% in 2007 Catastrophe losses including those

attributable to Hurricane Ike accounted for 5.1 percentage points of

the combined ratio in 2008 In 2007 catastrophe losses accounted for

3.0 points Excluding the impact of catastrophes the combined ratio was

83.6% in 2008 and 79.9% in 2007 We succeeded in keeping our expense

ratio essentially flat 30.2% in 2008 and 30.1% in 2007

Moreover each of Chubbs business units achieved substantial

underwriting profit Chubb Personal Insurance CPI net written premiums

grew 3% to $3.8 billion and the combined ratio was 87.1% including

5.4 percentage points of catastrophes CPI includes insurance for homes

Chubb has always been

dffrrentiated by our

unparalleled claim service

superior coverages and

seamless global reach

Perhaps more than ever

we are also dfferentiated

by ourfinancial strength

investment portfolio we enjoy excellent ratings from all the major rating

agencies We are in the business of assuming risk but we do so prudently

It was this conservative mindset that guided our fortunate decision in early

2003 to exit the credit default swap business An insurance policy is

promise to pay and we take our promises seriously which is why we

guard our financial strength so zealously

We anticipate that some policyholders who are concerned about

their insurance carriers financial strength will switch to Chubb even if

the price of being insured by carrier with solid balance sheet might

be higher rate This should be particularly evident in the high-net-worth

homeowners market as well as the credit-sensitive excess casualty profes

sional liability and commercial real estate markets People want to know

that their insurer will be around to pay their claim

Quality Workforee

Chubbs people already the best in the industry are energized by

our standout performance in 2008 and determined to propel us to new

heights In addition to completing number of successful projects aimed

at reducing costs our people participated in an innovation initiative

designed to generate new ideas for premium growth aud service

enhancements The response from Chubb locations worldwide exceeded

Outperforming the Market

We are grateful that our shareholders were spared the severe decline

in market values that befell so much of our industry and the overall stock

market We are never happy to report negative shareholder returns and

Chubbs total shareholder return for the year including stock price

fluctuation and reinvested dividends was negative 4% However in

2008 we far outperformed the Standard Poors Property Casualty

Insurance Index which returned negative 29% and the SP 500 Index

which was down staggering 37%

Page 9: The Chubb - SEC.gov · The Chubb Corporation About Chubb In 1882 Thomas Caldecot Chuhb and his son Percy opened marine nnderwriting business in the seaport district of New York City

Outlook for 2009

Since the beginning of 2009 the recession has deepened and this

will adversely affect insurable exposures The market values of virtually

all asset classes have continued their decline and this will put pressure

on our investments Moreover the strengthening of the U.S dollar will

have the effect of reducing net written premium growth since more than

20% of our premiums are written outside the U.S

With repect to claims from the current crisis in financial markets

we are reserving prudently for our own anticipated losses from such

in 2008 weflir outperformed

the 5tandard Poors

Property Casualty

insurance Index and the

SP 500 index

Page 10: The Chubb - SEC.gov · The Chubb Corporation About Chubb In 1882 Thomas Caldecot Chuhb and his son Percy opened marine nnderwriting business in the seaport district of New York City

Our capital position strong

credit ratings reputation

for claim service and focus

on niche markets should

enable us to leverage our

demonstrated underwriting

talent to generate solid

returns even in an uncertain

market

claims which we expect will he mitigated by our underwriting initiatives in

recent years including the move to reduce limits and to decrease our

exposure to large financial institutions and mortgage brokers

number of other developments give us good cause for optimism

We have begun to see flow of new business opportunities arising from

the weakened financial condition of some of our competitors

The industrys shrunken capital from investment losses should be

catalyst for rate improvements

Heavy catastrophe losses in 2008 should push up prices for both

commercial and residential property coverage in catastrophe-prone

areas

The industrys losses from claims related to the crisis in the financial

markets have already driven up rates for professional liability insurance

and should spread to other lines as well

The smaller rate declines that we saw in the fourthquarter

of 2008

might be an indication that the soft market is ending

Although the extent to which these trends will impact earnings in the

near term is uncertain we are confident that our peoples expertise guided

by our core values will enable us to succeed in variety of economic

conditions Our capital position strongcredit ratings reputation for claim

service and focus on niche markets should enable us to leverage our

demonstrated underwriting talent to generate solid returns even in an

uncertain market

would like to thank all of our employees for job well done in

2008 and extend my thanks as well to our customers agents brokers and

shareholders for your encouragement and support

other measures to evaluate its performance

because the realization of investment gains

and losses in any given period is largely

discretionary as to timing and can fluctuate

significantly which could distort the

analysis of trends
