MetLife, Inc. is the holding corporation for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (MLIC),[3] better known as MetLife, and its affiliates. MetLife is among the largest global providers of insurance, annuities, and employee benefit programs, with around 90 million customers in over 60 countries.[4][5] The firm was founded on March 24, 1868.[6] MetLife ranked No. 43 in the 2018 Fortune 500 list of the largest United States corporations by total revenue.[7]
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.[8] After 85 years as a mutual company, MetLife demutualized into a publicly traded company with an initial public offering in 2000.[9] 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.[10] MetLife serves 90 of the largest Fortune 500 companies.[11]
MetLife's head offices and boardroom are located at the MetLife Building at 200 Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan and New York City which MetLife owned from 1981 to 2005; despite the sale, MetLife increased its leased footprint in the building beginning in 2015.[12][13]
In January 2016, MetLife announced that it would spin off its U.S. retail business, including individual life insurance and annuities for the retail market, in a separate company called Brighthouse Financial, which launched in March 2017.[14] The continuing MetLife company kept naming rights to MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.[15]
