expected to become effective as of 5:30 p.m. on January&nbsp;14, 2015 (the &#147;Effective Time&#148;). In accordance with the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the transactions contemplated therein, ACE assumed each outstanding option to

remaining for which a filing fee of $28,410.98 had been paid that may be used as an offset against future filings; (b) In connection with the filing of this Registration Statement, the total filing fee of $182,875.30 is hereby offset by
$28,410.98, which represents the unused portion of the filing fees paid in (a) above.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
ACE Limited ("ACE" or the "Registrant") is filing this Registration Statement on Form S-8 with respect to up to
16,602,583
of its common shares, par value CHF 24.15 per share ("Common Shares"), issuable in connection with the Company Stock Plans and the Company Deferred Compensation Plans.
Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 30, 2015 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among The Chubb
Corporation, a New Jersey Corporation ("Chubb"), ACE and William Investment Holdings Corporation, a New Jersey corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of ACE ("Merger Sub"), Merger Sub will merge with and into Chubb, which is
expected to become effective as of 5:30 p.m. on January 14, 2015 (the "Effective Time"). In accordance with the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the transactions contemplated therein, ACE assumed each outstanding option to
purchase shares of Chubb common stock granted under the Company Stock Plans; each restricted stock unit award granted under the Company Stock Plans, each performance unit award granted under the Company Stock Plans (assuming achievement of target
performance with respect to open performance periods), and each deferred stock unit award granted under the Company Stock Plans, in each case, that is unsettled immediately prior to the Effective Time; and each share of Chubb common stock in respect
of a deferred unit obligation under the Company Deferred Compensation Plans that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. As a result of this assumption, at the Effective Time, the options were converted to options to purchase Common
Shares, the restricted stock unit awards, performance unit awards and deferred stock unit awards were converted into restricted stock unit awards, performance unit awards and deferred stock unit awards, respectively, denominated in Common Shares
(assuming, with respect to the performance unit awards, achievement of target performance with respect to open performance periods), and shares of Chubb common stock in respect of deferred unit obligations under the Company Deferred Compensation
Plans were deemed invested in Common Shares. As a result of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, ACE assumed the Company Stock Plans and the Company Deferred Compensation Plans at the Effective Time, and ACE may also issue future
equity or equity-based awards under The Chubb Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan (2014) to employees who (a) were employees of Chubb prior to the Effective Time or (b) are hired by ACE or any of its subsidiaries (including Chubb)
after the Effective Time, and who in each case were not employed immediately before the Effective Time by ACE or its subsidiaries. Pursuant to the Capital Accumulation Plan, as amended, at the Effective Time, the Company stock funds under the
Capital Accumulation Plan will be replaced with a stock fund designed to invest in ACE Common Shares.

Item 4.
Description of Securities
Not applicable.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
The legality of the Common Shares to which this
Registration Statement relates has been passed upon for the Registrant by Bär & Karrer AG.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
It is generally permissible under Swiss law
to agree in a fiduciary agreement to hold a board member harmless for any liabilities that he is confronted with during his or her term of office, save for gross negligence, willful intent, contradictory action with regard to legitimate
instructions, or in respect of the violation of certain corporate law duties. Swiss law permits the Registrant or each board member or officer individually to purchase and maintain insurance for directors and officers. The coverage of such insurance
depends on the individual insurance policy.
The ACE board members as well as the officers of ACE are jointly and severally liable to ACE,
the shareholders and the creditors for damage caused by violation of their duties.
A resolution passed at shareholders' meeting
discharging the members of the ACE board and management for statutory liability covers only matters that have been disclosed to the shareholders' meeting and is binding only upon ACE and upon shareholders that have approved the resolution. The
right of the remaining shareholders to claim damages on behalf of the Registrant expires six months after such resolution has been passed.
ACE's articles of association provide that ACE will indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the
members of the ACE board and officers out of ACE's assets from and against all actions, costs, charges, losses, damages and expenses which they or any of them may incur or sustain by or by reason of any act done, concurred in or omitted in or
about the execution of their duty, or supposed duty on behalf of ACE; provided that this indemnity shall not extend to any matter in which any of said persons is found, in a final judgment or decree not subject to appeal, to have committed fraud or
dishonesty. Without limiting the foregoing, ACE shall advance court costs and attorney's fees to the members of the ACE board and officers, except in cases where ACE itself is the plaintiff. ACE may however recover such advanced cost if a court
holds that the ACE board or the officer in question has breached relevant duties.
ACE has also entered into indemnification agreements
with each of its directors and executive officers. The indemnification agreements are in furtherance of ACE's articles of association, which require the Registrant to
indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law. The indemnification agreements provide for indemnification arising out of specified indemnifiable events and provide
for advancement of expenses. The indemnification agreements set forth procedures relating to indemnification claims.
Swiss law permits a
company and each board member or officer individually to purchase and maintain insurance for directors and officers. ACE maintains directors' and officers' insurance for its directors and officers. Directors and officers of ACE are
provided with indemnification against certain liabilities pursuant to a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy. Coverage is afforded for any loss that the insureds become legally obligated to pay by reason of any claim or
claims first made against the insureds or any of them during the policy period from any wrongful acts that are actually or allegedly caused, committed or attempted by the insureds prior to the end of the policy period. Wrongful acts are defined as
any actual or alleged error, misstatement, misleading statement or act, omission, neglect or breach of duty by the insureds while acting in their individual or collective capacities as directors or officers of ACE, or any other matter claimed
against them by reason of their being directors or officers of ACE. Certain of ACE's directors may also be provided by their employer with indemnification against certain liabilities incurred as directors of ACE.
Item 7.
Exemption from Registration Claimed
Not applicable.
Item 8.
Exhibits
The exhibits filed herewith or incorporated by reference herein are set forth
in the Index to the Exhibits filed as part of this Registration Statement hereof.
Item 9.
Undertakings.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the
most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
Registration Statement or any material changes to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however,
paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and
(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
With respect to any securities covered by this Registration Statement that
are issued under any plan that is subject to the requirements of Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, the Registrant hereby undertakes that it will submit or has submitted the plan and any amendments thereto to the Internal
Revenue Service ("IRS") in a timely manner and has made or will make all changes required by the IRS in order to qualify the plan.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of
the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of New York, State of New York, on January 14, 2016.
