Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment information | 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. Corporate results primarily include income and expenses not attributable to reportable segments and losses and loss expenses of asbestos and environmental (A&E) liabilities and certain other non-A&E run-off exposures. For segment reporting purposes, certain items are presented in a different manner below than in the consolidated financial statements. Management uses underwriting income (loss) as the main measure of segment performance. Chubb calculates underwriting income (loss) by subtracting Losses and loss expenses, Policy benefits, Policy acquisition costs, and Administrative expenses from Net premiums earned. To calculate Segment income (loss), include Net investment income (loss), Other (income) expense, and Amortization expense of purchased intangibles. For the North America Agricultural Insurance segment, management includes gains and losses on crop derivatives as a component of underwriting income (loss). For example, for the three months ended June 30, 2020, underwriting income in our North America Agricultural Insurance segment was $31 million. This amount includes $1 million of realized losses related to crop derivatives which are reported in Net realized gains (losses) in the Corporate column below. For the Life Insurance segment, management includes Net investment income (loss) and (Gains) losses from fair value changes in separate account assets that do not qualify for separate account reporting under GAAP as components of Life Insurance underwriting income (loss). For example, for the three months ended June 30, 2020, Life Insurance underwriting income of $71 million includes Net investment income of $95 million and gains from fair value changes in separate account assets of $40 million. The gains from fair value changes in separate account assets are reported in Other (income) expense in the table below. The following tables present the Statement of Operations by segment:
