    One of the great secrets of investing is that insurance companies are often great investments. The hitch is that it’s only the best of the best. But those top-tier insurance companies can be great long-term performers.

    Today we learned that ACE Limited ($ACE) is raising its quarterly dividend from 35 cents per share to 43 cents per share. That’s a 34% increase. The company has raised its dividend every year since 1995. The company already had a 6% dividend increase in May. With the new payout, ACE now yields 2.45%.

    The stock currently goes for just over 9 times the estimate for 2012.
