I can’t think of a better for Berkshire than this.


When the Chubb market price settles, going forward down the line at some point we get a price correction this looks like an absolutely ideal acquisition candidate for Berkshire..akin to when Warren invested in GEICO stock & later bought it outright. Berkshire could comfortably cut a check for 100% of Chubb. It could be the GenRe deal of the 2020s :)

Chubb would fit in ideally to Berkshire’s crown jewel: the Insurance Group. 37% of its business in non-US btw

Additionally from Simply Dividends:



“In the U.S., Chubb is the No. 1 provider of personal lines coverage and service for affluent customers. The company is also the largest commercial insurer in the U.S. and the leading writer of crop insurance for farmers.

Globally, Chubb is the leader in professional lines, including directors and officers (D&O) and errors and omissions (E&O), and a top provider of personal accident and supplemental health insurance (A&H) for consumers.”
