PART I

General

Chubb Limited is the Swiss-incorporated holding company of the Chubb Group of Companies. Chubb Limited, which is headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the Chubb Group of Companies, Chubb, we, us, or our) are a global insurance and reinsurance organization, serving the needs of a diverse group of clients worldwide. At December 31, 2025, we had total assets of $272 billion and total shareholders’ equity, of $74 billion (excluding noncontrolling interests). Chubb was incorporated in 1985 at which time it opened its first business office in Bermuda and continues to maintain operations in Bermuda.

We have grown our business through increased premium volume, expansion of product offerings and geographic reach, and the acquisition of other companies, to become a global property and casualty (P&C) leader. We expanded our personal accident and supplemental health (A&H), and life insurance business with the acquisition of Cigna's business in several Asian markets in 2022. We further advanced our goal of greater product, customer, and geographical diversification with incremental purchases that led to a controlling majority interest in Huatai Insurance Group Co. Ltd (Huatai Group), a Chinese financial services holding company with separate P&C, life, and asset management subsidiaries (collectively, Huatai) on July 1, 2023. At December 31, 2025, our ownership interest in Huatai Group was approximately 87.2 percent. Refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our acquisitions.

With operations in 54 countries and territories, Chubb provides commercial and consumer P&C insurance, A&H, reinsurance, and life insurance to a diverse group of clients. We provide commercial insurance products and service offerings such as risk management programs, loss control, and engineering and complex claims management. We provide specialized insurance products ranging from Directors & Officers (D&O) and financial lines to various specialty-casualty and umbrella and excess casualty lines to niche areas such as aviation and energy. We also offer consumer lines insurance coverage including homeowners, automobile, valuables, umbrella liability, and recreational marine products. In addition, we supply A&H and life insurance to individuals in select countries.

We generate earnings from three primary sources of income: P&C underwriting income, investment income, and life segment income. Chubb is an underwriting company and we strive to emphasize quality of underwriting rather than volume of business or market share. Our underwriting strategy is to manage risk by employing consistent, disciplined pricing and risk selection. This, coupled with writing a number of less cyclical product lines, has helped us develop flexibility and stability of our business, and has allowed us to maintain a profitable book of business throughout market cycles. Clearly defined underwriting authorities, standards, and guidelines coupled with a strong underwriting audit function are in place in each of our local operations and global profit centers. Global product boards ensure consistency of approach and the establishment of best practices throughout the world. Our priority is to help ensure adherence to criteria for risk selection by maintaining high levels of experience and expertise in our underwriting staff. In addition, we employ a business review structure that helps ensure control of risk quality and appropriate use of policy limits and terms and conditions. Underwriting discipline is at the heart of our operating philosophy.

Our product and geographic diversification differentiate us from the vast majority of our competitors and has been a source of stability during periods of industry volatility. Our long-term business strategy focuses on sustained growth in book value achieved through a combination of underwriting and investment income. By doing so, we provide value to our clients and shareholders through use of our substantial capital base in the insurance and reinsurance markets. We serve multinational corporations, mid-size and small businesses with property and casualty insurance and risk engineering services; affluent and high net worth individuals with substantial assets to protect; individuals purchasing life, personal accident, supplemental health, homeowners, automobile in certain international markets and for high net worth individuals in the U.S., and specialty personal insurance coverage; companies and affinity groups providing or offering accident and health insurance programs and life insurance to their employees or members; and insurers managing exposures with reinsurance coverage. For most commercial and personal lines of business we offer, insureds typically use the services of an insurance broker or agent. We obtain business from the local and major international insurance brokers and typically pay a commission to brokers for business accepted and bound. Our broad market capabilities in personal, commercial, specialty, and A&H lines made available by our underwriting expertise, business infrastructure, and global presence, help define our competitive advantage. Our superior claims service is a significant asset to our business, our business partners and customers, and is unique in the industry. Our strong balance sheet is attractive to businesses, and our strong capital position and global platform affords us opportunities for growth not available to smaller, less diversified insurance companies. Refer to “Segment Information” for competitive environment by segment.

We are organized along a profit center structure by line of business and territory that does not necessarily correspond to corporate legal entities. Profit centers can access various legal entities subject to licensing and other regulatory rules. Profit centers are expected to generate P&C underwriting income, life segment income, and appropriate risk-adjusted returns. Our corporate structure has facilitated the development of management talent by giving each profit center's senior management team the necessary autonomy within underwriting authorities to make operating decisions and create products and coverages needed by its target customer base. We are focused on delivering P&C underwriting profit and life segment income by only writing policies which we believe adequately compensate us for the risk we accept.

We recognize that climate changes and weather patterns, as well as inflationary forces, are integral to our underwriting process and we continually adjust our process to address these changes. This is intended to help ensure that exposures are priced appropriately and resulting losses are contained within our risk tolerance and appetite for individual product lines, businesses, and Chubb as a whole. Our use of such tools and data also reflects an understanding of their inherent limitations and uncertainties. We also purchase protection from third parties, including, but not limited to, reinsurance as a tool to diversify risk and limit the net loss potential of catastrophes and large or unusually hazardous risks.

Segment Information

Chubb operates through six 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. In 2025, consolidated net premiums earned (NPE) was $53.0 billion. Refer to Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about our segments.

North America Commercial P&C Insurance (38 percent of 2025 Consolidated NPE)

Overview

The North America Commercial P&C Insurance segment comprises operations that provide P&C and A&H insurance and services to large, middle market, and small commercial businesses in the U.S., Canada, and Bermuda. Th

Factors that could have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition are outlined below. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem insignificant may also impair our business or results of operations as they become known or as facts and circumstances change. Any of the risks described below could result in a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Insurance

Our results of operations or financial condition could be adversely affected by the occurrence of natural and man-made disasters.

We have substantial exposure to losses resulting from natural disasters, man-made catastrophes, such as terrorism or cyber-attack, and other catastrophic events. This could impact a variety of our businesses, including our commercial and personal lines, and life and accident and health (A&H) products. Catastrophes can be caused by various events, including hurricanes, typhoons, earthquakes, hailstorms, droughts, explosions, severe winter weather, fires, war, acts of terrorism, nuclear accidents, political instability, and other natural or man-made disasters, including a global or other wide-impact pandemic or a significant cyber-attack. The incidence and severity of catastrophes are inherently unpredictable and our losses from catastrophes could be substantial. In addition, climate change and resulting changes in global temperatures, weather patterns, and sea levels may both increase the frequency and severity of natural catastrophes and the resulting losses in the future and impact our risk modeling assumptions. We cannot predict the impact that changing climate conditions, if any, may have on our results of operations or our financial condition. We cannot predict how legal, regulatory or social responses to concerns around global climate change and the resulting impact on various sectors of the economy may impact our business. In addition, exposure to cyber risk is increasing systematically due to greater digital dependence, which may increase possible losses due to a catastrophic cyber event. Cyber catastrophic scenarios are not bound by time or geographic limitations and cyber catastrophic perils do not have well-established definitions or fundamental physical properties. Rather, cyber risks are engineered by human actors and thus are continuously evolving, often in ways that are engineered specifically to evade established loss mitigation controls. The occurrence of claims from catastrophic events could result in substantial volatility in our results of operations or financial condition for any fiscal quarter or year. Catastrophic events are inherently unpredictable and the actual nature of such events, when they occur, could be more frequent or severe than contemplated in our pricing and risk management expectations. As a result, the occurrence of one or more catastrophic events could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

If actual claims exceed our loss reserves, our financial results could be adversely affected.

Our results of operations and financial condition depend upon our ability to accurately assess the potential losses associated with the risks that we insure and reinsure. We establish reserves for unpaid losses and loss expenses, which are estimates of future payments of reported and unreported claims for losses and related expenses, with respect to insured events that have occurred at or prior to the balance sheet date. The process of establishing reserves can be highly complex and is subject to considerable variability as it requires the use of informed estimates and judgments.

Actuarial staff in each of our segments regularly evaluates the levels of loss reserves. Such evaluations could result in future changes in estimates of losses or reinsurance recoverables and would be reflected in our results of operations in the period in which the estimates are changed. Losses and loss expenses are charged to income as incurred. During the loss settlement period, which can be many years in duration for some of our lines of business, additional facts regarding individual claims and trends often will become known, which may result in a change in overall reserves. In addition, application of statistical and actuarial methods may require the adjustment of overall reserves upward or downward from time to time.

We include in our loss reserves liabilities for latent claims, such as asbestos and environmental (A&E), which are principally related to claims arising from remediation costs associated with hazardous waste sites and bodily-injury claims related to exposure to asbestos products and environmental hazards. At December 31, 2025, gross A&E liabilities represented approximately 1.4 percent of our gross loss reserves. The estimation of these liabilities is subject to many complex variables including: the current legal environment; specific settlements that may be used as precedents to settle future claims; assumptions regarding trends with respect to claim severity and the frequency of higher severity claims; assumptions regarding the ability to allocate liability among defendants (including bankruptcy trusts) and other insurers; the ability of a claimant to bring a claim in a state in which it has no residency or exposure; the ability of a policyholder to claim the right to non-products coverage; whether high-level excess policies have the potential to be accessed given the policyholder's claim trends and liability situation; payments to unimpaired claimants; and the potential liability of peripheral defendants. Accordingly, the ultimate settlement of losses, arising from either latent or non-latent causes, may be significantly greater or less than the loss and loss expense reserves held at the balance sheet date. In addition, the amount and timing of the settlement of our P&C liabilities are

Table of Contents

uncertain and our actual payments could be higher than contemplated in our loss reserves owing to the impacts of insurance, judicial decisions, and social inflation. If our loss reserves are determined to be inadequate, we may be required to increase loss reserves at the time of the determination and our net income and capital may be reduced.

The effects of emerging claim and coverage issues on our business are uncertain.

As industry practices and legislative, regulatory, judicial, social, financial, technological and other environmental conditions change, unexpected and unintended issues related to claims and coverage may emerge. These issues may adversely affect our business by either extending coverage beyond our underwriting intent or by increasing the frequency and severity of claims. For example, "reviver" legislation in certain states allows civil claims relating to molestation to be asserted against policyholders that would otherwise be barred by statutes of limitations. As a result, the full extent of liability under our insurance or reinsurance contracts may not be known for many years after issuance.

The failure of any of the loss limitation methods we use could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

We seek to manage our loss exposure by maintaining a disciplined underwriting process throughout our insurance operations, including the use of underwriting controls and risk models. We also look to limit our loss exposure by writing a number of our insurance and reinsurance contracts on an excess of loss basis. Excess of loss insurance and reinsurance indemnifies the insured against losses in excess of a specified amount. In addition, we limit program size for each client and purchase third-party reinsurance for our own account. We also look to limit our loss by using assumed proportional reinsurance treaties, in which we seek per occurrence limitations or loss and loss expense ratio caps to limit the impact o

Risk management and strategy

As detailed in our risk factors included in Item 1A, Chubb recognizes the significant risks posed by cybersecurity and data protection challenges, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We have implemented a risk-based approach to identify and assess the cybersecurity threats that could affect our business and information systems, and we evaluate changes and enhancements to our technology environment as well as conduct third-party assessments to confirm that they meet our information security control requirements. Our cybersecurity program and control environment incorporate appropriate industry standards and best practices, such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cyber Security Framework (NIST CSF), and are designed to comply with numerous U.S. federal and state and international laws, rules, and regulations governing the protection of personal and confidential information of our clients and employees. We use various tools and methods to assess, identify, and manage cybersecurity risk that are tested regularly, including the following:

Technological Tools

Chubb uses information security tools designed to protect information and systems. Our Information Security team regularly monitors these tools to discover and respond promptly to anomalous and suspicious patterns. We also participate in information sharing networks (government and private) and deploy system updates and other technologies.

Employee Training

We endeavor to provide all employees with data protection training. Employees involved with information protection, privacy, and other risk management specialties also engage in specialized role-based training as is practicable. We use a variety of training methods, including computer-based training, role-based training, company intranet awareness campaigns, and various simulation exercises.

Data Protection Culture

Chubb actively promotes a data protection culture. We maintain policies, standards, and technology designed to protect personal and corporate information. The policies and standards are developed by a multi-disciplinary team, with participation from information security and IT compliance, privacy, IT legal, compliance, and business representatives.

Risk Assessments and Operational Audit

Our information security policies and protocols undergo regular assessments and audits, and we engage with external parties to review our protections, including benchmarking to industry standards and best practices, such as the NIST CSF. In addition, we benchmark our programs against key regulatory frameworks and conduct technical assessments of our controls, which may include penetration testing and other technical testing. These processes are integrated into our established Enterprise Risk

Table of Contents

Management (ERM) framework, which is led by Chubb's senior management and overseen by our Board's Risk & Finance (R&F) Committee. Refer to “Enterprise Risk Management“ under Item 1 for further description of our ERM function and Board oversight.

Chubb uses risk-based processes to oversee and identify cybersecurity risks associated with the use of third-party service providers and third-party hardware. These processes include contractual controls as well as risk-based diligence processes, periodic assessments, and monitoring. Chubb recognizes the growing risk associated with third-party hardware, software, and services, and we have taken steps we believe are appropriate to manage those risks. We review third-party software and hardware in our environment to understand the components used and what impact they could have on our overall cyber risk environment.

To our knowledge, and as of the filing date on this annual report, risks from cybersecurity threats, including potential risks arising from previous cybersecurity incidents, have not materially affected Chubb’s business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. For more detail regarding cybersecurity threats, see our risk factor titled “A failure in our operational systems or infrastructure or those of third parties, including due to security breaches or cyber-attacks, could disrupt business, damage our reputation, and cause losses” under Item 1A.

Board and Management Governance

We have cybersecurity and information technology oversight at the Board and management levels. Direct Chubb Board-level oversight is generally within the purview of two of the Board’s committees: Audit and R&F Committee.

The Audit Committee is responsible for oversight of our cybersecurity program and related exposures and risks. The Audit Committee periodically reports to the full Board and consults with the R&F Committee on such matters. The Audit Committee’s review and oversight generally encompasses data breach risk and impact, cyber protection and detection controls, privacy matters, third-party risks (including risks from cybersecurity threats associated with any third-party service providers), cyber trends and events, and other topics. The R&F Committee is responsible for oversight of risk generally and identifying significant risks, which may include risks relating to cybersecurity and privacy, business continuity risk (including the resilience of IT operations and physical infrastructure) and cyber underwriting risk. The oversight responsibilities of the Audit and R&F Committees with respect to cybersecurity and information technology risks are each set forth in their respective charters. Members of management, including our Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and Global Chief Technology Officer (CTO), regularly provide updates to these committees in person and through written reports. The Audit and R&F Committees also conduct a joint meeting on ERM matters, which includes coverage of strategic risk priorities, including cybersecurity, as well as Chubb’s actions and mitigation efforts in response to such risks.

The management-level responsibility for assessing and managing cybersecurity risk is led by our CISO and CTO. Prior to joining Chubb in 2015, our CISO was Director of the threat analytics platform for a major cybersecurity incident detection and response company. Prior to that, our CISO was an executive leader within the information security practice and a technical architect with two global accounting firms. Our CTO has extensive experience as a chief technology officer in digital-first environments and was previously the chief technology officer of a large global bank, responsible for the bank’s core infrastructure, end-user technology, production support, group architecture, cloud technology, and software license management. Our CTO holds a master’s degree in geographical information systems and a bachelor’s degree in artificial intelligence and computer science. Chubb management also benefits from the advice provided by a Cyber Advisory Board of external experts. The members of the Cyber Advisory Board have extensive experience and deep expertise on cybersecurity matters, several having served in senior government positions with executive responsibility for identifying and mitigating cyber threats across the globe.

Chubb management continues to prioritize investments in cybersecurity to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our data. In accordance with our cybersecurity risk assessment processes, we have deployed a set of cybersecurity controls to protect Chubb. We also maintain a data security incident response plan, applied at an enterprise level, to facilitate our ability to rapidly detect and address data security incidents with the goals of: (i) minimizing risk to data and systems; (ii) quickly recovering and resuming operations; (iii) where applicable, providing timely notice of an incident to regulators and providing timely notice and remediation services to affected individuals; (iv) minimizing potential brand damage; (v) managing litigation, investigations, and disputes that may arise in the aftermath of an incident; and (vi) identifying opportunities to enhance Chubb’s data security approach. Consistent with our incident response plan, the CISO informs the Chief Privacy Officer, who is a member of our legal team, and they notify other members of management of significant cybersecurity incidents and provide them with regular updates on the status of such incidents, including mitigation, remediation, and steps to avoid recurrence.

We maintain office facilities around the world including in North America, China, Europe (including our principal executive offices in Switzerland), Bermuda, Latin America, Asia Pacific, and Japan. Most of our office facilities are leased, although we own major facilities in Hamilton, Bermuda; Seoul, South Korea; Beijing and Shanghai, China; and in the U.S., including in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Wilmington, Delaware; and Simsbury, Connecticut. As of the date of this filing, our Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Wilmington, Delaware office properties are being marketed for sale, with the transactions expected to close shortly after the date of this filing. Following these transactions, we expect to relocate operations in Philadelphia to a new leased office within the same city and consolidate Wilmington operations into this facility. Management considers its office facilities suitable and adequate for the current level of operations.

PART II

Our Common Shares have been listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: CB) since March 25, 1993, with a current par value of CHF 0.50 per share.

We have paid dividends each quarter since we became a public company in 1993. In 2025 and 2024, our annual dividends were paid by way of a distribution from capital contribution reserves (Additional paid-in capital) through the transfer of dividends from Additional paid-in capital to Retained earnings (free reserves) as approved by our shareholders.

Chubb Limited is a holding company whose principal sources of income are dividends and interest income from its operating subsidiaries. The ability of the operating subsidiaries to pay dividends to us and our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders are each subject to legal and regulatory restrictions. The recommendation and payment of future dividends will be based on the determination of the Board of Directors (Board) and will be dependent upon shareholder approval, profits and financial requirements of Chubb and other factors, including legal restrictions on the payment of dividends and other such factors as the Board deems relevant. Refer to Part I, Item 1A and Part II, Item 7 for additional information.

The number of record holders of Common Shares as of February 20, 2026, was 6,265. This is not the actual number of beneficial owners of Chubb's Common Shares since most of our shareholders hold their shares through a stockbroker, bank or other nominee rather than directly in their own names.

Refer to Part III, Item 12 for information relating to compensation plans under which equity securities are authorized for issuance.

Market Sensitive Instruments and Risk Management

Market risk represents the potential for loss due to adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments. We are exposed to potential losses from various market risks including changes in interest rates, equity prices, and foreign currency exchange rates. Further, through writing guaranteed living benefits (GLB) and guaranteed minimum death benefits (GMDB) products, collectively referred to as market risk benefits (MRB), we are exposed to volatility in the equity and credit markets, as well as interest rates. Our investment portfolio consists primarily of fixed income securities, denominated in both U.S. dollars and foreign currencies, which are sensitive to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The majority of our fixed income portfolio is classified as available-for-sale. The effect of market movements on our fixed maturities available-for-sale portfolio impacts Net income (through Net realized gains (losses)) when securities are sold, when we write down an asset, or when we record a change to the allowance for expected credit losses. Changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates will have an immediate effect on Shareholders' equity and Comprehensive income and, in certain instances, Net income. The effect of market movements on fixed maturities related to consolidated investment products in the Huatai portfolio (Fixed maturities - CIP) impacts Net income (through Net realized gains (losses)). From time to time, we also use derivative instruments such as futures, options, swaps, and foreign currency forward contracts to manage the duration of our investment portfolio and foreign currency exposures, and also to obtain exposure to a particular financial market. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, our notional exposure to derivative instruments was $12.5 billion and $10.2 billion, respectively. These instruments are recognized as assets or liabilities in our Consolidated Financial Statements and are sensitive to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and equity security prices. As part of our investing activities, from time to time we purchase to be announced

Table of Contents

mortgage-backed securities (TBAs). Changes in the fair value of TBAs are included in Net realized gains (losses) and, therefore, have an immediate effect on both our Net income and Shareholders' equity.

We seek to mitigate market risk using a number of techniques, including maintaining and managing the assets and liabilities of our international operations consistent with the foreign currencies of the underlying insurance and reinsurance businesses, thereby limiting exchange rate risk to net assets denominated in foreign currencies. From time to time, we use derivatives to hedge planned cross-border transactions, and designate certain derivatives to hedge foreign currency risk on our euro denominated debt and exposure in the net investments of certain foreign subsidiaries.

The following is a discussion of our primary market risk exposures at December 31, 2025. Our policies to address these risks in 2025 were not materially different from 2024. We do not currently anticipate significant changes in our primary market risk exposures or in how those exposures are managed in future reporting periods based upon what is known or expected to be in effect in future reporting periods.

Interest rate risk – fixed income portfolio and debt obligations

Our fixed income portfolio and debt obligations have exposure to interest rate risk. Changes in investment values attributable to interest rate changes are mitigated by corresponding and partially offsetting changes in the economic value of our insurance reserves and debt obligations. We monitor this exposure through periodic reviews of our asset and liability positions.

The following table presents the impact at December 31, 2025 and 2024, on the fair value of our fixed income portfolio of a hypothetical increase in interest rates of 100 bps applied instantly across the U.S. yield curve (an immediate time horizon was used as this presents the worst case scenario):

Changes in interest rates will have an immediate effect on Comprehensive income and Shareholders' equity for our available-for- sale portfolio but will not ordinarily have an immediate effect on Net income. Variations in market interest rates could produce significant changes in the timing of prepayments due to available prepayment options. For these reasons, actual results could differ from those reflected in the tables. Changes in interest rates for our fixed income – consolidated investment products will have an immediate impact on Net income (through Net realized gains (losses)).

Although our debt and hybrid debt (collectively referred to as debt obligations) are reported at amortized cost and not adjusted for fair value changes, changes in interest rates could have a material impact on their fair value, albeit there would be no impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following table presents the impact at December 31, 2025 and 2024, on the fair value of our debt obligations of a hypothetical decrease in interest rates of 100 bps applied instantly across the U.S. yield curve (an immediate time horizon was used as this presents the worst case scenario):

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.

The following table summarizes the unhedged portion of net assets (liabilities) in non-U.S. currencies at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and excludes noncontrolling interests:

NM – not meaningful

(1) Excludes hedged Chinese yuan renminbi net assets of $2.5 billion and $1.3 billion in 2025 and 2024, respectively.

(2) Includes unhedged portion of euro denominated debt of $2.3 billion and net assets of $2.6 billion in 2025, and $2.3 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, in 2024. Excludes hedged euro denominated debt of $2.0 billion and $1.6 billion in 2025 and 2024, respectively.

(3) The unhedged net assets denominated in foreign currencies comprised goodwill and other intangible assets of approximately 41 percent and 47 percent at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Chubb holds certain cross-currency swaps designated as fair value hedges and net investment hedges for foreign currency exposure associated with portions of our euro denominated debt and the net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries, respectively. These cross-currency swaps are agreements under which two counterparties exchange principal and interest payments in different currencies at a future date.

The objective of the fair value cross-currency swaps is to hedge euro 1.8 billion of the foreign currency risk on our euro denominated debt by converting cash flows back into the U.S dollar. The objective of the net investment cross-currency swaps is to hedge the foreign currency exposure in the net investments of certain foreign subsidiaries by converting cash flows from U.S. dollar to the British pound sterling (GBP 957 million), Japanese yen (JPY 43.0 billion), Swiss franc (CHF 96 million), and Chinese yuan renminbi (CNH 9.3 billion). The hedged risk is designated as the foreign currency exposure arising between the functional currency of the foreign subsidiary and the functional currency of its parent entity.

Reinsurance of market risk benefits

Market risk benefits (MRB) are measured at fair value using a valuation model based on current net exposures, market data, our experience, and other factors. Changes in fair value are recorded to Market risk benefits gains (losses) in the Consolidated statements of operations, except for the change in fair value due to a change in the instrument-specific credit risk which is recognized in Other comprehensive income. For additional information refer to Note 1 m) and Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, under Item 8.

Chubb views its MRB reinsurance business as having a similar risk profile to that of catastrophe reinsurance, with the probability of long-term economic loss relatively small at the time of pricing. Adverse changes in market factors and policyholder behavior will have an impact on both MRB gains (losses) and net income. When evaluating these risks, we expect to be compensated for taking both the risk of a cumulative long-term economic net loss, as well as the short-term accounting variations caused by these market movements. Therefore, we evaluate this business in terms of its long-term economic risk and reward.

The tables below are estimates of the sensitivities to instantaneous changes in economic inputs (e.g., equity shock, interest rate shock, etc.) at December 31, 2025, for both the fair value of the MRB liability (FVL) and the fair value of specific derivative instruments held (hedge value) to partially offset the risk in the MRB reinsurance portfolio. The following assumptions should be considered when using the below tables:

• Equity shocks impact all global equity markets equally

• Our liabilities are sensitive to global equity markets in the following proportions: 80 percent—90 percent U.S. equity, and 10 percent—20 percent international equity.

• Our current hedge portfolio is sensitive only to U.S. equity markets.

• We would suggest using the S&P 500 index as a proxy for U.S. equity, and the MSCI EAFE index as a proxy for international equity.

• Interest rate shocks assume a parallel shift in the U.S. yield curve

• Our liabilities are also sensitive to global interest rates at various points on the yield curve, mainly the U.S. Treasury curve in the following proportions: up to 15 percent short-term rates (maturing in less than 5 years), 10 percent—30 percent medium-term rates (maturing between 5 years and 10 years, inclusive), and 65 percent—85 percent long-term rates (maturing beyond 10 years).

• A change in AA-rated credit spreads impacts the rate used to discount cash flows in the fair value model. AA-rated credit spreads are a proxy for both our own credit spreads and the credit spreads of the ceding insurers.

• The hedge sensitivity is from December 31, 2025, market levels and only applicable to the equity and interest rate sensitivities table below.

• The sensitivities do not scale linearly and may be proportionally greater for larger movements in the market factors. Actual sensitivity of our net income may differ from those disclosed in the tables below due to fluctuations in short-term market movements.

Market Risk Benefits Net Amount at Risk

All our MRB reinsurance treaties include annual or aggregate claim limits and many include an aggregate deductible which limit the net amount at risk under these programs. The tables below present the net amount at risk at December 31, 2025, following an immediate change in equity market levels, assuming all global equity markets are impacted equally.

a) Reinsurance covering the GMDB risk only

The treaty limits function as a ceiling as equity markets fall. As the shocks in the table above become incrementally more negative, the impacts begin to drop due to the specific nature of these claim limits, many of which are annual claim limits calculated as a percentage of the reinsured account value. There is also an impact due to a portion of the reinsurance under which claims are positively correlated to equity markets (claims decrease as equity markets fall).

b) Reinsurance covering the GLB risk only

The treaty limits cause the net amount at risk to increase at a declining rate as equity markets fall.

Table of Contents

c) Reinsurance covering both the GMDB and GLB risks on the same underlying policyholders

The treaty limits cause the GMDB and GLB net amount at risk to increase at a declining rate as equity markets fall.
