In the spring of 1882, Thomas Caldecot Chubb and his son Percy opened a
marine underwriting business in the seaport district of New York City.
Having collected $1,000 from each of the 100 prominent merchants to
start their venture, they focused on insuring ships and cargoes. The
Chubbs were adept at turning risk into success, often by helping their
policyholders prevent disasters before they occurred. By the turn of
the century, Chubb had established strong relationships with the
insurance agents and brokers who placed their clients’ business with
Chubb underwriters and the original subscribers enjoyed a substantial
return on their investment in the young company.
The Chubb Corporation was formed in 1967 and was listed on the New York
Stock Exchange in 1984. It ranks among the top 11 publicly traded
insurance organizations based on revenues in the United States.
With roughly 10,600 employees throughout North America, Europe, South
America and the Pacific Rim, Chubb serves property and casualty
customers from some 120 offices in 28 countries around the globe. Chubb
works with 8,500 independent agents and brokers worldwide.
