The report also detailed that new business within the core small and middle-market segments grew by 17%. Additionally, international global retail premiums rose by 13%, aided by digital expansion and local financial partnerships.<\/p>\n
“Despite a soft industry backdrop, particularly in property, Chubb grew new business by +17% in its core small and middle-market segment, and international global retail premiums were up by +13%, driven by distribution through large local financial intermediaries and a direct-to-consumer digital buildout.”<\/p>\n
Management at Wedgewood Partners observed that Chubb has benefited from a period with few major catastrophic events. However, the insurer has historically maintained strong performance even during years with higher catastrophe activity.<\/p>\n
