Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Employee Benefits Committee
Capital Accumulation Plan of The Chubb Corporation

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of the Capital Accumulation Plan of The Chubb Corporation (formerly known as the Capital Accumulation Plan of The Chubb Corporation, Chubb & Son Inc. and Participating Affiliates) as of December 31, 2008 and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2008 and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year then ended, in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2008 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Capital Accumulation Plan of The Chubb Corporation

Notes to Financial Statements

Year Ended December 31, 2008

1. Plan Description

The following is a brief description of the Capital Accumulation Plan of The Chubb Corporation (the “Plan”) formerly known as the Capital Accumulation Plan of The Chubb Corporation, Chubb & Son Inc. and Participating Affiliates. Participants should refer to the plan document, which is maintained by the Employee Benefits Committee (the “Plan Administrator”), for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

Effective January 1, 1976, The Chubb Corporation (the “Company” or “Employer”) adopted the Capital Accumulation Plan of The Chubb Corporation, Chubb & Son Inc. and Participant Affiliates for the benefit of its eligible employees and its participating affiliates. The Plan name has been changed as the result of an amendment on January 1, 2008 to The Capital Accumulation Plan of The Chubb Corporation. The Plan is a defined contribution plan and is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”).

Eligibility

An employee becomes eligible to participate in the Plan on the first day of the month following completion of one full calendar month of service. Employees become eligible for employer matching contributions after either completion of one year of service and attainment of age 21 or the completion of two years of service if under age 21.

Contributions

Participants may elect to contribute pre-tax and after tax contributions, up to the maximum amount permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, but not greater than 50% of their compensation, as defined by the Plan. Effective July 1, 2008, the Company amended the Plan for automatic enrollment for eligible employees with initial pre-tax contributions of 4% by the employee with an increase of 1% annually thereafter. Participants may also make rollover contributions from other qualified plans. The Employer matches participant contributions 100% limited to 4% of their annual compensation. Participants age 50 and older who contribute at least 4% of pre-tax pay qualify to make unmatched additional “catch-up” contributions each pay period according to the schedules and maximum amounts permitted by the Internal Revenue Code for each year.

1. Plan Description (continued)

Vesting

Participants are immediately and fully vested in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company’s matching contributions plus actual earnings thereon is based on years of service, as follows:

Years of service		Vesting %
2			20	%
3			40	%
4			60	%
5			80	%
6			100	%

Forfeitures

Forfeitures, plus earnings thereon, can be used by the Company to reduce future employer contributions and to pay administrative expenses. Participants that resume employment prior to incurring five consecutive one year breaks in service are entitled to have previously forfeited amounts restored to their account. If forfeitures for any Plan year are not sufficient to restore forfeited amounts the Company is required to contribute the remaining balance. Forfeitures from employees for the year ended December 31, 2008 were $870,682, with an available amount of approximately $823,000 available to reduce future employer contributions.

Participant Accounts

Contributions are invested by Fidelity Management Trust Company (the “Trustee”) according to the investment options elected by the participants and are held by the Trustee in a single trust. For participants automatically enrolled, the investment option selected is the Dodge & Cox Balanced mutual fund.

1. Plan Description (continued)

Loans

Participants may borrow a minimum of $1,000 up to the maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000, 50% of their vested account balance, or 50% of the Participant’s annual rate of compensation, as defined, at the time the loan is requested. Their vested account balance and annual rate of compensation also serves as collateral for the loan. Participants can have up to two loans outstanding at any time as long as it does not exceed the maximum limits. The principal portion of the loan is repayable by check or through payroll deductions and bears interest at prime rate. As of December 31, 2008 the interest rates on outstanding loans range from 4% to 10%.

Loans that are in default are accounted for as a reduction of net assets available for benefits in the year the default occurs. As of December 31, 2008, the balance of defaulted loans approximated $158,000.

Payment of Benefits

Upon attaining the normal retirement age (65), a participant is entitled to his or her vested benefits in the form of lump sum payments, annuity or installment payments, as described by the plan document. In addition, participants may withdraw funds from the Plan upon termination of employment or, in certain other cases and subject to the approval of the Employee Benefits Committee, participants may request a withdrawal of a portion of their balances in the case of financial hardship. If a participant dies before or after retirement or after termination, any remaining balance in his or her account is paid to his or her estate or beneficiary under any of the following payment options: (a) lump sum, (b) installments as elected by the participant prior to death, or (c) installment payments as elected by the participant’s beneficiary.

Upon request, any lump sum distribution to a participant or his or her beneficiary from the Chubb Stock Fund or the ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan) Fund may be made in common stock of The Chubb Corporation in lieu of cash payments.

1. Plan Description (continued)

Administration Expenses

Unless paid by the Plan Sponsor, the Trustee pays the expenses of the Plan using plan assets. For 2008 and 2007, the following expenses have been paid by the Plan: (a) taxes on the assets in the trust fund or related income, (b) brokerage costs, (c) other expenses in connection with the purchase and sale of assets by the manager of funds, (d) fees paid for asset management and (e) certain overhead expenses directly attributable to the administration of the Plan. Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) fees are paid for by the individual participant, as these fees are not paid by the Plan sponsor or the Trustee.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the 2007 statement of net assets available for benefits have been reclassified to conform with the current year’s presentation.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accounting and financial reporting policies of the Plan are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Fair Value Measurement

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”), which establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Plan adopted FAS 157 during 2008. The adoption of FAS 157 did not have an impact on the Plan’s net assets available for benefits or changes in net assets available for benefits. The Plan’s assets and liabilities are valued at fair value as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 (see Note 4) with the exception of fully benefit responsive guaranteed contracts which are carried at contract value.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

The Stable Value Portfolio (Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts)

As described in Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position (FSP) AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans (the “FSP”), investment contracts held by a defined contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the plan. The Plan invests in a stable value fund that is fully benefit responsive. As required by the FSP, the statements of net assets available for benefits presents the fair value of the investment contracts as well as the adjustment of the fully benefit responsive investment contracts from fair value to contract value. The statements of net assets available for benefits are prepared on a contract value basis.

Fidelity Management Trust Co. acts as the manager of the Stable Value Portfolio (“SVP”).

It is the policy of the manager of the SVP to use its best efforts to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per unit although there is no guarantee that the manager will be able to maintain this value.

The SVP is invested in short to intermediate term fixed income securities and cash equivalents represented by shares in a money market fund. In addition, the SVP includes “wrapper” contracts issued by third parties and may include derivative instruments such as futures contracts and swap agreements.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

A wrap contract is an agreement by another party, such as a bank or insurance company, to make payments to a portfolio in certain circumstances. Wrap contracts are designed to allow a stable value portfolio to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per unit and to protect the portfolio in extreme circumstances. In a typical wrap contract, the wrap issuer agrees to pay a portfolio the difference between the contract value and the market value of the underlying assets once the market value has been totally exhausted. This could happen if a portfolio experiences significant redemptions (redemption of most of a portfolio’s units) during a time when the market value of a portfolio’s underlying assets is below contract value, and market value is ultimately reduced to zero. If that occurs, the wrap issuer agrees to pay the portfolio an amount sufficient to cover unitholder redemptions and certain other payments (such as portfolio expenses), provided all the terms of the wrap contract have been met. Purchasing wrap contracts is similar to buying insurance, in that a portfolio pays a relatively small amount to protect against a relatively unlikely event (the redemption of most of the shares of a portfolio). Fees the SVP pays for wrap contracts are offset against interest income.

A wrap issuer may terminate a wrap contract at any time. However, in the event that the market value of the SVP’s covered assets is below its contract value at the time of such termination, the manager of the SVP may elect to keep the wrap contract in place until such time as the market value of the SVP’s covered assets is equal to its contract value, normally over the duration of the SVP’s covered assets measured at notification date.

The manager expects that a substantial percentage of the SVP’s assets to be underlying the wrap contracts, although this may change over time. Assets not underlying the wrap contracts will generally be invested in money market instruments and cash equivalents to provide necessary liquidity for participant withdrawals and exchanges.

To reduce exposure of the SVP to wrap credit risk, wrap contracts are diversified across multiple wrap counterparties, each agreeing to wrap a pro-rata percentage of the covered underlying assets. The SVP’s ability to receive amounts due pursuant to these contracts is dependent upon the counterparties’ ability to meet their financial obligations.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

The wrap contracts limit the ability of the SVP to transact at contract value upon the occurrence of certain events. Such events include the following: (i) amendments to the Plan including changes in the investment options, transfer procedures or withdrawal rights not consented to by the wrap issuer, (ii) termination of the Plan, (iii) changes to Plan’s prohibition of direct transfers from the SVP to a competing investment option, (iv) other Plan Sponsor events (e.g. divestitures or spin-offs of a subsidiary) which cause a significant withdrawal from the SVP or, (v) the failure of the trust to qualify for exemption from federal income taxes or any required prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA. The Plan Administrator does not believe that the occurrence of any such event, which would limit the Plan’s ability to transact at contract value with participants, is probable.

The crediting rate, and hence the SVP’s return, may be affected by many factors, including purchases and redemptions by unitholders. The impact depends on whether the market value of the underlying assets is higher or lower than the contract value of those assets. If the market value of the underlying assets is higher than their contract value, the crediting rate will ordinarily be higher than the yield of the underlying assets. If the market value of underlying assets is lower than their contract value, the crediting rate will ordinarily be lower than the yield of the underlying assets.

Investment Income

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on trade dates. Gains or losses on the sale of securities are based on average cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Payment of Benefits

Benefit payments to participants are recorded when paid.

3. Investments

At December 31, 2008 all wrap contracts held are fully benefit responsive. The average yield and crediting rate are reflected below:

		2008				2007
Average Yield			4.55	%			4.71	%
Crediting Rate			3.76	%			4.77	%

The Chubb Corporation		$	357,185,334			$	411,822,801

4. Fair Value Measurements

FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (“FAS 157”) establishes a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FAS 157 are described as follows:

•

Level 1 — Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the plan has the ability to access.

4. Fair Value Measurements (continued)

	•		Level 2 — Inputs to the valuation methodology include: (a) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; (b) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; (c) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and (d) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
	•		Level 3 — Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2008 and 2007:

	•		Stable value funds: Valued at the market values of the underlying fixed income securities and terms of the underlying investment contracts as further discussed in Note 1.
	•		The Chubb Corporation common stock: Valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.
	•		Mutual funds: Valued at the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year end.
	•		Money market funds: Valued at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value.
	•		Participant loans: Valued at the outstanding balances which approximates fair value.

4. Fair Value Measurements (continued)

Assets at fair value as of December 31, 2008 are as follows:

		Level 1				Level 2				Level 3				Total
Stable value funds		$	—			$	290,364,740			$	—			$	290,364,740
The Chubb Corporation common stock			357,185,334				—				—				357,185,334
Mutual funds			576,920,174				—				—				576,920,174
Money market funds			97,200,775				—				—				97,200,775
Participant loans			—				—				21,256,240				21,256,240
Total assets at fair value		$	1,031,306,283			$	290,364,740			$	21,256,240			$	1,342,927,263

5. Related Party Transactions

Certain Plan investments are shares of funds managed by Fidelity Management Trust Company. Fidelity Management Trust Company (“FMTC”) is the trustee as defined by the Plan and, therefore, FMTC qualifies as a party-in-interest. Fees paid to Fidelity Management Trust Company by the Plan for management services amounted to $190,698 for the year ended December 31, 2008.

6. Plan Termination

While the Employer has not expressed any intent to terminate the Plan, the Plan Sponsor reserves the right to amend, modify or terminate the Plan at any time. In the event of termination, the value of Participants’ accounts will be paid in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the provisions of ERISA.

7. Income Tax Status

The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated March 27, 2003, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Subsequent to this determination by the Internal Revenue Service, the Plan was amended and restated. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The Plan Administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan, as amended and restated, is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt.

8. Risks and Uncertainties

The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.

The Plan’s exposure to concentration of credit risk is limited by the diversification of investments. Additionally, the investments within each fund election are further diversified into various financial instruments, with the exception of The Chubb Corporation common stock. The Plan’s exposure to credit risk on guaranteed investment contracts is limited to the fair value of the contracts with each counterparty.

9. Reconciliation of Financial Statements to Form 5500

The following is a reconciliation between the statement of net assets available for benefits per the accompanying financial statements and the Form 5500:

		December 31
