Insider Buy, Buffett Stamp, Swiss Roots: Is Chubb the Coolest Name in Insurance?

Ticker: CB | $286.25 | -1.23% (as of Jun 10, 2025) 🔥 
🧑💼 Insider: John W. Keogh (President & COO)
💰 Bought: 9,810 shares @ $292.99 = $2.87 million
🧭 Location: Switzerland (yes, Chubb is very internationally neutral) 🇨🇭


🧑💼 Big-Time Insider, Big-Time Believer

When the President & COO drops nearly $3 million of his own cash on company stock, we pay attention. That’s not a nibble — that’s a confident forkful. 🍽️

Add to that the Warren Buffett Seal of Approval™. Berkshire Hathaway holds 27 million shares, worth $7.7 billion, making up 3.1% of its entire portfolio. That’s not nothing.

Oh, and 91.36% of Chubb’s float is institutionally held. Translation? The big kids like it too. 🏦💼

  3. 🌊 Earthquakes? Tsunamis? Still on the bingo card.

  4. 👽 Alien invasion? Possible.

  5. 🤖 Alien insurers? Honestly, maybe even more efficient.

✅ The Funanc1al Take

Chubb is:

  • 📈 Growing steadily — globally and across product lines

  • 🔐 Backed by institutions and insiders alike

  • 💵 Shareholder-friendly to the bone

  • 🇨🇭 Operating from the land of chocolate and neutrality

It’s not a screaming bargain, but it might just be one of the safest growth-y insurance bets out there. We’d love to initiate or add on a dip — or even hold steady at this price if you're playing the long game.


🧃 Disclaimer Time:

We’re not Warren Buffett.
We don’t know Warren Buffett.
We’ve never shared fondue in Zurich with Warren Buffett.
This is not financial advice.
This is Funanc1al. 🍏📉✨
