Wedgewood Partners David A. Rolfe, Michael X. Quigley, Christopher T. Jersan | “We initiated a new position during the quarter in Chubb (CB), long a global leader in the property and casualty insurance industry. Much of the business may be characterized as “specialty” or “non-standard,” which is the primary attraction for us. While Chubb offers more standard property and casualty insurance across both corporate and individual business segments, it leans heavily into areas such as risk engineering, director and officer insurance, or unique areas such as energy or aviation. The Company's selection of attractive global insurance business lines, combined with impressive strength in underwriting and a reputation for excellent client service, supports an impressive business model characterized by steady premium growth and improving profitability. From an insurance underwriting perspective, the Company stands out as an outstanding insurance underwriter – truly, best-in-class. Chubb has a long history of accurately forecasting and pricing risk, enabling the company to earn an attractive and consistently improving return from assuming liability for clients. In addition, income from its investment portfolio meaningfully augments underwriting profits and supports double-digit earnings growth over time. BSD Analysis: Chubb is the insurance company investors buy when they want adult supervision: underwriting discipline, pricing power, and predictable execution. In a world of climate volatility, discipline matters more than growth narratives. Chubb's ability to reprice risk and exit unattractive business lines protects returns. The investment portfolio benefits from higher yields, supporting earnings resilience. Global diversification helps smooth regional catastrophe shocks. Investors sometimes forget insurance is a cycle, and Chubb is built to win the cycle, not chase market share. When the market gets sloppy, Chubb gets paid. This is defensive compounding with real teeth.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Jan 8, 2026 | View Pitch |
Davis Financial Fund Chris Davis and Pierce Crosbie | “Chubb is one of our core property & casualty insurance holdings. It is well-diversified across products and geographies. The company has consistently generated returns on equity comfortably ahead of the industry owing to a combination of running advantaged lines of business with a disciplined underwriting and operating culture. Pricing trends in the insurance markets have generally been strong in recent years, and consequently Chubb has been earning returns on tangible equity in the low 20s. While competitive forces may in time push that back toward a “normalized” level a few points lower, Chubb we believe would still be valued at 10–11x earnings looking out a few years. BSD Analysis: Chubb is insurance run with discipline in an industry that too often chases volume over math. Underwriting comes first, and growth only happens when pricing makes sense. Rising rates quietly boost investment income without forcing riskier underwriting. Investors fixate on catastrophe headlines and miss how diversified Chubb's global book really is. Specialty lines and risk selection create durability across cycles. Capital strength allows Chubb to walk away from bad business when competitors can't. Returns come from consistency, not hero years. This is insurance where the model actually works.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Jan 5, 2026 | View Pitch |
The London Company Large Cap Brian Campbell | “Chubb Limited (CB) – CB was a strong performer in 4Q25, reaching an all-time high following exceptional earnings that featured record core operating income, industry-leading combined ratios, and robust investment income growth. The company's diversified portfolio, disciplined underwriting, and aggressive capital returns reinforced confidence in its ability to generate attractive returns, even as the P&C industry transitions to a more competitive and volatile environment. BSD Analysis: Chubb is insurance done with discipline, underwriting first and growth second. Pricing power exists because Chubb walks away from bad business without apology. Rising rates boost investment income while underwriting remains conservative. Investors lump Chubb in with generic insurers and miss execution quality. Specialty lines and global reach diversify risk intelligently. Catastrophe noise creates volatility, not structural weakness. Capital strength supports steady shareholder returns. This is insurance where math still matters more than stories.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Dec 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
Aristotle Core Equity Fund Mr. Fitzpatrick | “Chubb detracted from performance in the second quarter, primarily due to a market rotation out of defensive names amid a broader market rally led by technology and other cyclical sectors. The company's first quarter earnings report showed slowing growth in P&C net written premiums, raising concerns about potentially softening pricing trends in its commercial insurance business following several years of strong performance. BSD Analysis: Chubb is the gold-standard underwriter in a world where discipline is increasingly rare. While competitors chase premium at any price, Chubb keeps writing profitable business and walking away from junk risk — and the combined ratios prove it. Rising rates are a tailwind for investment income, but the real story is Chubb's ability to consistently price above loss cost inflation. Its global footprint in commercial, specialty, and high-net-worth personal lines gives it a moat that smaller carriers can't replicate. The balance sheet is bulletproof, capital return is strong, and organic growth is surprisingly durable. Chubb is what every insurer wishes it could be: boring, ruthless, and relentlessly profitable.” | BULL | Q2 2025 Jun 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
Aristotle Atlantic Core Equity Strategy Mr. Fitzpatrick | “Chubb detracted from performance in the second quarter, primarily due to a market rotation out of defensive names amid a broader market rally led by technology and other cyclical sectors. The company's first quarter earnings report showed slowing growth in P&C net written premiums, raising concerns about potentially softening pricing trends in its commercial insurance business following several years of strong performance. BSD Analysis: Chubb is the global P&C insurer that wins by being aggressively conservative — tight underwriting, disciplined pricing, and a refusal to chase trashy business. In a world of rising nat-cat volatility and social inflation, Chubb has repeatedly shown it can still produce excellent combined ratios. Its high-net-worth and commercial books give it access to clients and risk pools that smaller competitors never see. Global diversification, especially in high-growth markets, gives it a long runway without sacrificing underwriting discipline. The balance sheet is fortress-level, and capital return is both predictable and generous. If you want a long-duration, high-quality insurance compounder, this is the template.” | BULL | Q2 2025 Jun 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
The London Company Income Equity Brian Campbell | “Chubb Limited (CB) - CB engages in the provision of commercial & personal property and casualty insurance, personal accident and accident & health (A&H), reinsurance, and life insurance. Roughly 2/3 of its profits are generated in the U.S. with high-growth Asian markets representing another 20% of earnings. CB has a portfolio of top-performing, multibillion-dollar businesses that have substantial scale and yet potential for growth. CB has a culture of superior underwriting discipline and management has a strong track record of expense control. CB also has a well-balanced mix of business by customer and product, with extensive distribution channels. We believe CB offers investors a rare combination of consistent growth, disciplined underwriting, geographical diversification into high-growth markets, and a well-managed investment portfolio, making it a compelling long-term hold. BSD Analysis: Chubb is an unassailable, high-quality global property and casualty (P&C) insurer whose stock is a conviction bet on its disciplined underwriting and the sustained hard market cycle. The core moat is its leadership across specialty lines, commercial insurance, and the high-net-worth personal lines segment. The company is defined by its experienced leadership, extensive global presence across 54 countries, and record financial results. In a hard market, premiums rise faster than claims costs, allowing disciplined underwriters like Chubb to maximize profitability. The stock is a defensive compounder leveraging its superior underwriting expertise to deliver high returns regardless of the economic climate.” | BULL | Q2 2025 Jun 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
