MetLife, Inc. is the holding corporation for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, or MetLife, for short, and its affiliates. MetLife is among the largest global providers of insurance, annuities, and employee benefit programs, with 90 million customers in over 60 countries.[2][3] The firm was founded on March 24, 1868.[4]

On January 6, 1915, MetLife completed the mutualization process, changing from a stock life insurance company owned by individuals to a mutual company operating without external shareholders and for the benefit of policyholders.[5] The company went public in 2000.[6] Through its subsidiaries and affiliates, MetLife holds leading market positions in the United States, Japan, Latin America, Asia’s Pacific region, Europe, and the Middle East.[7] MetLife is the largest life insurer in the United States and serves 90 of the largest Fortune 500 companies.[8] The company’s principal offices are located at 1095 Avenue of the Americas in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, though it retains some executive offices and its boardroom in the MetLife Building, located at 200 Park Avenue, New York City, which it sold in 2005.[9]

History

Early years

The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company tower, which previously served as company headquarters, was featured in its advertising for many years.

The predecessor company to MetLife began in 1863 when a group of New York City businessmen raised $100,000 to found the National Union Life and Limb Insurance Company. The company insured Civil War sailors and soldiers against disabilities due to wartime wounds, accidents, and sickness. On March 24, 1868, it became known as Metropolitan Life Insurance Company and shifted its focus to the life insurance business.[10][11] A severe business depression that began in the early 1870s forced the company to contract, until it reached its lowest point in the late 1870s. After observing the insurance industry in Great Britain in 1879, MetLife President Joseph F. Knapp brought “industrial” or “workingmen’s” insurance programs to the United States – insurance issued in small amounts on which premiums were collected weekly or monthly at the policyholder’s home. By 1880, sales had exceeded a quarter million of such policies, resulting in nearly $1 million in revenue from premiums. In 1909, MetLife had become the nation’s largest life insurer in the U.S., as measured by life insurance in force (the total value of life insurance policies issued).[10][12]

In 1907, the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company tower was commissioned to serve as MetLife’s 23rd Street headquarters in Lower Manhattan. Completed two years later, the building was the world's tallest until 1913 and remained the company's headquarters until 2005. For many years, an illustration of the building (with light emanating from the tip of its spire and the slogan, "The Light That Never Fails") featured prominently in MetLife’s advertising.[13] By 1930, MetLife insured every fifth man, woman, and child in the United States and Canada.[14] During the 1930s, it also began to diversify its portfolio by reducing the percentage of individual mortgages in favor of public utility bonds, investments in government securities, and loans for commercial real estate.[14] The company financed the construction of the Empire State Building in 1929 as well as provided capital to build Rockefeller Center in 1931. During World War II, MetLife placed more than 51 percent of its total assets in war bonds, and was the largest single private contributor to the Allied cause.[14]

Postwar

During the postwar era, the company expanded its suburban presence, decentralized operations, and refocused its career agency system to serve all market segments. It also began to market group insurance products to employers and institutions. By 1979, operations were segmented into four primary businesses: group insurance, personal insurance, pensions, and investments.[14] In 1981, MetLife purchased what became known as the MetLife building for $400 million from a group that included Pan American World Airways.[15][16]

Current era

In 1998, the board of directors authorized demutualization.[14] Eighteen months later in April 2000, MetLife held an IPO, resulting in the issuance of 202,000,000 shares at the price of $14.25 per share.[6] At the time of the IPO, MetLife, Inc. had nine million shareholders and was the most widely held stock in North America.[17] In 2001, MetLife was the first insurance company to establish a financial holding company with a nationally chartered bank through its purchase of Grand Bank, which was renamed MetLife Bank.[18] The company also invested $1 billion in the U.S. stock market during 2001, immediately after the September 11th terrorist attacks.[14]

MetLife acquired Travelers Life & Annuity and substantially all of Citigroup’s international insurance businesses for $12 billion.[19] At the time of the deal, which was completed on July 1, 2005, the Travelers acquisition made MetLife the largest individual life insurer in North America based on sales.[19] Current MetLife chairman C. Robert (Rob) Henrikson was appointed chairman of the board of directors, president and chief executive officer of MetLife in 2006.[20] In 2008, MetLife Bank, N.A., a division of MetLife Inc., purchased the residential mortgage business of Memphis-based First Horizon National Corporation. The purchase included the home loan unit of First Tennessee Bank National Association (outside Tennessee), with 230 offices in the US.[21] The same year, MetLife also purchased the reverse mortgage division of Florida-based Everbank Financial Corp. Both transactions were completed in order to expand the company's stake in the US housing market.[22] Later that year, MetLife split-off substantially all of its 52% stake in Reinsurance Group of America, Inc.[23] MetLife had received the majority stake in RGA as a result of its 2000 acquisition of GenAmerica.[24] The split-off gave MetLife shareholders the option to exchange MetLife shares for shares of RGA.[23]

In 2010, MetLife completed its purchase of American Life Insurance Company (Alico), from American International Group (AIG).[25][26] The $16.2 billion acquisition of Alico expanded the company’s life insurance and employee benefits business into more than 60 countries compared to 17 countries before the acquisition.[25][26][27][28] On March 21, 2011, MetLife announced that Steven Kandarian, who had headed MetLife's investment department would succeed Robert Henrickson as President and CEO as of May 1, 2011.[29]

Short term disability insurance is structured to replace a portion of an individual’s income during the initial weeks of a disabling illness or accident. Long term disability Insurance serves to replace a portion of an individual’s income during an extended period of a disabling illness or accident.[39] The company also maintains an absence management product which allows employers to track and manage both planned and unplanned employee absences. The product, which MetLife calls MetLife Total Absence Management, is structured for businesses with 1,000 or more employees.[40]

MetLife is among the largest providers of annuities in the world, recording $22.4 billion in sales during 2009.[41] MetLife offers annuities which consist of fixed annuities, variable annuities, deferred annuities and immediate annuities.[42] In 1921, MetLife was the first company to issue a group annuity contract.[43] More recently in 2004, it was the first insurer to introduce a longevity insurance product.[44] As of December 31, 2009, MetLife globally managed group annuity assets of $60 billion with $34 billion of transferred pension liabilities and provided benefit payments to over 600,000 annuitants per month.[45]

MetLife [MET], which completed the deal on November 1, 2010, paid approximately $7.2 billion in cash and $9.0 billion in MetLife equity and other securities.[60][61] The securities portion of the deal consisted of 78.2 million shares of MetLife common stock, 6.9 million shares of contingent convertible preferred stock and 40 million equity units.[27] The values of the common and preferred stock were based on the closing price of MetLife’s common stock on October 29.[27] Upon completion of the purchase, MetLife became a leading competitor in Japan, the world’s second-largest life insurance market, and moved into a top five market position in many high growth emerging markets in Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Latin America.[62] The deal added 20 million customers to MetLife’s 70 million and according to Barron’s Magazine more than doubled the percentage of operating profits that MetLife gets abroad to 40%.[30]
