What MetLife does

MetLife, Inc. (NYSE: MET) is a global financial services company founded in 1868 and headquartered at 200 Park Avenue, New York. Operating in more than 40 markets across the Americas, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, the company provides insurance, annuities, employee benefits, retirement solutions, and asset management to individual consumers, employer-sponsored groups, brokers, and institutional clients. The portfolio spans dental, vision, life, disability, accident and health, cancer, critical illness, hospital indemnity, legal plans, pet insurance, identity and fraud protection, health savings and spending accounts, long-term care, and pension risk transfer / longevity reinsurance. Distribution is multi-channel: employer-sponsored group benefits, broker/consultant networks, federal programs (FEDVIP/VADIP), direct-to-consumer, JV partnerships (PNB MetLife India, AmMetLife Malaysia), and embedded partnerships (Farmers for auto/home, Aura for identity, Mediclinic for UAE virtual care).

The company's underlying technology platform combines institutional asset management infrastructure (MetLife Investment Management with $740B+ AUM following the December 30, 2025 PineBridge Investments acquisition), employer-facing portals (MetLink, MyBenefits, MetBroker), AI-driven underwriting and pricing algorithms, the Pega AI legacy modernization stack, and co-branded digital security products powered by Aura Sub, LLC. New product launches in 2026 include the Non-Qualified Assignment Flex Agreement (NQA-FA), the MetLife Guaranteed Income Program Annuity Cancellation Option, and the MetLife Pet Insurance Memorial Tree Program.

MetLife generates revenue primarily through insurance premiums, fees, investment income, and asset management fees. Full-year 2025 premiums, fees and other revenues reached $57.6 billion (up 10% year-over-year) with adjusted EPS of $8.89 and adjusted ROE of 16%. The company maintains a 15-17% ROE target, an 11.3% expense ratio target, 13 consecutive years of dividend increases, and returned approximately $4.4 billion to shareholders in 2025. Investment income is supported by variable investment income from private equity, real estate, and other funds (Q1 2026: $518M, up 58%) and a fixed income portfolio allocated approximately 20% to illiquid assets by end of 2025. The business is executed under the New Frontier five-year strategy led by CEO Michel Khalaf and CFO John McCallion.
