MetLife, Inc. is the holding corporation for Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (MLIC),[7] or MetLife for short, and its affiliates. MetLife is among the largest global providers of insurance, annuities, and employee benefit programs, with 100 million customers in approximately 50 countries.[8][9] The firm was founded on March 24, 1868.[10]

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.[11] The company went public in 2000.[12] 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.[13] MetLife organizes its product offerings into three regions: the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Asia.[14][15] MetLife provides products and services to 90 of the largest Fortune 500 companies.[16] 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.[17]

History edit

Early years edit

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.[19][20]

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

A severe business depression that began with the Panic of 1873 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).[19][21]

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.[22] By 1930, MetLife insured every fifth man, woman, and child in the United States and Canada.[23] 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.[23] 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.[23]

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.[23] In 1981, MetLife purchased what became known as the MetLife building for $400 million from a group that included Pan American World Airways.[24][25]

De-mutualization and IPO edit

In 2000, MetLife converted from a mutual insurance company operated for the benefit of its policyholders to a for-profit public company. The de-mutualization process allowed MetLife to enter unrelated insurance businesses and increase executive compensation.

Policyholders received some stock in the new company in this process.[26] MetLife was accused of breaching federal securities laws by misrepresenting and omitting information in materials given to policyholders during this process, resulting in years of litigation ending with a $50 million settlement in 2009.[27]

Acquisitions, sales, and major deals edit

  • 1992 - merged with United Mutual Life Insurance Company, the only African-American life insurer in New York, in 1992.[28]
  • 1992.. -- [29] acquired Executive Life's single premium deferred annuity business, which was worth approximately $1.2 billion. MetLife also acquired the firm's life insurance business, valued at about $260 million.[30]

  • 2000 - de-mutualization and IPO.[37][38] The initial public offering was valued at $6.5 billion, which was the largest IPO to that date in U.S. financial history.[37][38] MetLife policyholders were asked to choose a cash or stock stake. This IPO made MetLife the most widely owned stock in the United States, and it raised MetLife's value to over $4 billion.[39][40] By 2000, MetLife's reported number of policyholders had risen to 11 million,[40] and that year it had become the United States' number one life insurer, surpassing Prudential, according to The New York Times.[41]
  • 2000 - $470 million voice and data network management deal with AT&T Solutions.[42]
  • 2001 - acquired Grand Bank of Kingston, New Jersey, which was renamed MetLife Bank[43][44]

  • 2005 - acquired Citigroup’s Travelers Life & Annuity and all of Citigroup’s international insurance businesses for $11.8 billion.[46][47] 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.[48]
  • 2006 - opened joint-venture insurance company in Shanghai, in May 2006.[49][50]
  • 2006 - sold Peter Cooper Village, or Stuyvesant Town, the largest apartment complexes in New York City at the time, for $5.4 billion.[51][52] MetLife had developed the apartment complexes between 1945 and 1947, to house veterans returning home from serving in World War II.[53]
  • 2010 - bought American Life Insurance Company from AIG for US$15,500,000,000.[46] 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.[54] The values of the common and preferred stock were based on the closing price of MetLife’s common stock on October 29.[54] 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 5 market position in many high growth emerging markets in Central and Eastern Europe, such as Romania, the Middle East and Latin America.[55] The deal added 20 million customers to MetLife’s 70 million and according to Barron's more than doubled the percentage of operating profits that MetLife gets abroad to 40%.[56]
  • 2011 - sold MetLife bank to GE Capital, exiting banking business.[57]

Current era edit

From 2004 to 2011, MetLife continued to hold its position as the largest life insurer in the United States.[58][59] The company had $2.5 trillion in policies written, $350 billion in assets under management, over 12 million customers in the United States, 8 million customers outside the United States, and a net income in 2003 of $2.2 billion.[59] That year, Barron's reported that 13 million American households owned at least one product from MetLife.[60]

MetLife named Robert H. Benmosche as chairman and CEO in July 1999. Benmosche occupied the position until 2006, when he was replaced by C. Robert Henrikson.[58][61][62]

The company's sales grew 11.5% between 2008 and 2009, despite the national recession.[63] In 2011, CEO Robert Henrikson was replaced by Steven A. Kandarian, who had overseen the company's "US$450,000,000,000 investment portfolio" as chief investment officer.[58] Henrikson remained the company's chairman to the end of 2011, at which point he reached the company's mandatory retirement age.[58]

In 2015, MetLife was ranked as number one on Fortune magazine's list of World's Most Admired Companies in the Insurance: Life and Health category.[64]

"Too big to fail" edit

MetLife was subject to stricter financial regulation due to its ownership of MetLife Bank and its mortgage business. Seeking to escape that level of regulation, in December 2011, MetLife announced the sale of its banking unit to GE Capital.[65] In early 2012, MetLife failed the Federal Reserve’s Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review stress test, intended to predict the potential failure of the company in a recession. The Fed stated that the minimum total risk-based capital ratio should be 8% and it estimated that MetLife at only 6%. The company had requested approval for a $2 billion share repurchase to prop up the stock price, along with an increased dividend.[66] On November 2, 2012, MetLife said it was selling its $70 billion mortgage servicing business to JPMorgan Chase for an undisclosed amount.[67] The sale of its depository banking unit to GE Capital was completed in January 2013.[68] Both sales were part of its strategy to focus on the insurance side of its business.

The attempt to escape "too big to fail" regulation was not successful. In September 2014, the U.S. government observed the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reform law by proposing the application of an official label to MetLife as "systemically important" to the American economy.[69] If implemented, MetLife would be subject to different sets of rules and regulations, with increased oversight from the Federal Reserve.[69][70] The company appealed this proposal in November 2014.[71] In December 2014, federal regulators decided that MetLife required the special regulations reserved for financial companies and organizations deemed "systemically important," or "too big to fail".[72] MetLife announced in January 2015 that it would file a lawsuit against the District of Columbia to overturn the federal regulators' decision,[69] thus becoming the first nonbank to challenge such a decision.[73] Three other nonbank companies have been designated as "systemically important": AIG, General Electric and Prudential.[72][73] MetLife continued to litigate this issue as of mid-2015, with the US Department of Justice asking that their challenge be dismissed.[73]

Fines edit

On August 7, 2012, it was announced that MetLife will pay $3.2 million in fines after the Federal Reserve charged it used unsafe and unsound practices in handling its mortgage servicing and foreclosure operations.[74]

In 2014, MetLife paid $23 million to settle multiple lawsuits over junk fax operations used to generate leads for life insurance sales.[75]

In 2015, MetLife Home Loans LLC paid $123.5 million to the U.S. Department of Justice to resolve allegations it knowingly made mortgages insured by the U.S. government that didn’t meet federal underwriting requirements.[76]

Scripps Co. and United Features Syndicate for $175 million. MetLife is reported to pay $12 million per year for licensing rights.[109] Prior to the Iconix deal, MetLife had licensed the characters from other rights-holders. In 2006, MetLife's CEO at the time, C. Robert Henrikson, extended the company's license to use Peanuts characters to cover exclusive global use in the financial services category.[110]

The Peanuts-based campaign was developed by the advertising agency Young & Rubicam. MetLife also has used Foote Cone & Belding to develop Peanuts-related promotions.[111][112] MetLife has operated a blimp program featuring the Peanuts characters since 1987.[113] Two blimps, Snoopy One and Snoopy Two, fly in the United States. Snoopy J, a third blimp, operates for MetLife in Japan.[114]

MetLife and the “Ideal weight” edit

In 1959, The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (as it was known at the time) released tables of the best weight for each height for longevity, based on their collected insurance data. These tables showed the “desirable weights”. In 1983, they released tables showing the “ideal” weights for greatest longevity; this information was based on data collected in the Build Study of 1979 collected by the Society of Actuaries. This data followed patients for 18 years (from 1954-1972) and was collected from 25 life insurance companies in Canada and the USA, representing 4.2 million people. These “ideal” weights were higher than the prior “desirable” weights, this was attributed to an increase in muscle mass due to improved fitness levels among the population. This study is still the largest available pool of data for this purpose. It was noticed that the average weights in the population are higher than the ideal weights for survival. The ‘’’Metropolitan Tables’’’ included ‘’small’’, ‘’medium’’ and ‘’large’’ frames, based on elbow-girth measured using calipers, as the elbows do not develop adipose tissue. They presented weight ranges for height, sex and body frame (again associated with the lowest mortality) The mid-point of the ideal weight for the medium frames for each height was selected as the “ideal” weight used for calculations of “excess weight” (initial weight-ideal weight). This led to a formula to calculate the ideal weight used by bariatric surgeons, but it had lost considerable accuracy by 2007, again due to improvements in medical care and in public health.[199]
