A distant second.

High-net-worth insurance is a niche with loyal customers and complex risks. It rewards service and underwriting skill.

Pure's growth depends on taking share from Chubb and from standard insurers, and on managing its exposure to catastrophes.

Pure is one of four large American businesses, and the smallest by profit: ¥43.2 billion against ¥188.4 billion at Delphi, ¥122.1 billion at HCC and ¥105.5 billion at Philadelphia4. It is growing faster than HCC.

The measure is Pure's profit growth. Continuing at the latest year's pace would narrow the gap to Chubb.

Moat trajectory: Widening

Profit rose from ¥38.0 billion to ¥43.2 billion.
