Frequently Asked Questions
What were the main drivers of Chubb's revenue growth in Q3 2025?
Revenue growth was primarily driven by an increase in net premiums written across most segments. The Life Insurance segment saw a significant 24.6% increase, while North America Personal P&C Insurance grew by 8.1%. This was supported by strong new business, retention, and positive rate and exposure increases in the P&C lines, along with favorable growth in international life operations.
How did catastrophe losses and prior period development impact Chubb's results?
Catastrophe losses were significantly lower in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year, contributing to an improved P&C combined ratio. Favorable prior period development also positively impacted the results, particularly in short-tail lines driven by property and marine. For the nine months, while catastrophe losses were higher primarily due to California wildfire losses, this was largely offset by increased favorable prior period development.
