Chubb Board Proposes 5.8% Dividend Increase
By Colin Kellaher
Chubb's board is recommending that shareholders approve a 5.8% increase in the insurer's dividend at the annual investor meeting later this year.
The proposed new annual rate of $3.64 would equate to a yield of about 1.44% based on Wednesday's closing price of $251.96, up from about 1.37%.
The Zurich-based property-and-casualty insurance giant on Thursday said the increase would mark the 31st consecutive annual rise in its dividend, with the quarterly payout moving to 91 cents from 86 cents.
