About MetLife
MetLife is one of the largest life insurance companies in the world, with roots back to 1868. In 2017, MetLife spun off its US retail individual life business to Brighthouse Financial, so today MetLife primarily focuses on employer-based group life insurance and supplemental products (accident, hospital, critical illness) rather than individual whole or term policies.
