our consolidated net cash flows used for investing activities were $ 4.2 billion in 2010 , compared with $ 3.2 billion in 2009 .
net investing activities for the indicated periods were related primarily to net purchases of fixed maturities and for 2010 included the acquisitions of rain and hail and jerneh insurance berhad .
our consolidated net cash flows from financing activities were $ 732 million in 2010 , compared with net cash flows used for financing activities of $ 321 million in 2009 .
net cash flows from/used for financing activities in 2010 and 2009 , included dividends paid on our common shares of $ 435 million and $ 388 million , respectively .
net cash flows from financing activ- ities in 2010 , included net proceeds of $ 699 million from the issuance of long-term debt , $ 1 billion in reverse repurchase agreements , and $ 300 million in credit facility borrowings .
this was partially offset by repayment of $ 659 million in debt and share repurchases settled in 2010 of $ 235 million .
for 2009 , net cash flows used for financing activities included net pro- ceeds from the issuance of $ 500 million in long-term debt and the net repayment of debt and reverse repurchase agreements of $ 466 million .
both internal and external forces influence our financial condition , results of operations , and cash flows .
claim settle- ments , premium levels , and investment returns may be impacted by changing rates of inflation and other economic conditions .
in many cases , significant periods of time , ranging up to several years or more , may lapse between the occurrence of an insured loss , the reporting of the loss to us , and the settlement of the liability for that loss .
from time to time , we utilize reverse repurchase agreements as a low-cost alternative for short-term funding needs .
we use these instruments on a limited basis to address short-term cash timing differences without disrupting our investment portfolio holdings and settle the transactions with future operating cash flows .
at december 31 , 2010 , there were $ 1 billion in reverse repurchase agreements outstanding ( refer to short-term debt ) .
in addition to cash from operations , routine sales of investments , and financing arrangements , we have agreements with a bank provider which implemented two international multi-currency notional cash pooling programs to enhance cash management efficiency during periods of short-term timing mismatches between expected inflows and outflows of cash by currency .
in each program , participating ace entities establish deposit accounts in different currencies with the bank provider and each day the credit or debit balances in every account are notionally translated into a single currency ( u.s .
dollars ) and then notionally pooled .
the bank extends overdraft credit to any participating ace entity as needed , provided that the overall notionally-pooled balance of all accounts in each pool at the end of each day is at least zero .
actual cash balances are not physically converted and are not co-mingled between legal entities .
ace entities may incur overdraft balances as a means to address short-term timing mismatches , and any overdraft balances incurred under this program by an ace entity would be guaranteed by ace limited ( up to $ 150 million in the aggregate ) .
our revolving credit facility allows for same day drawings to fund a net pool overdraft should participating ace entities withdraw contributed funds from the pool .
capital resources capital resources consist of funds deployed or available to be deployed to support our business operations .
the following table summarizes the components of our capital resources at december 31 , 2010 , and 2009. .

our ratios of debt to total capitalization and debt plus trust preferred securities to total capitalization have increased temporarily due to the increase in short-term debt , as discussed below .
we expect that these ratios will decline over the next six to nine months as we repay the short-term debt .
we believe our financial strength provides us with the flexibility and capacity to obtain available funds externally through debt or equity financing on both a short-term and long-term basis .
our ability to access the capital markets is dependent on , among other things , market conditions and our perceived financial strength .
we have accessed both the debt and equity markets from time to time. .
