The company’s product lineup includes fixed annuities, which guarantee a specified interest rate over a defined period; indexed annuities, which provide upside potential linked to market indices while protecting principal; and a variety of life insurance options, including universal and term insurance. These solutions are distributed nationwide across the United States, supported by customer service, policy administration, and digital tools designed to simplify application and servicing processes.
Headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, Brighthouse Financial is led by President and Chief Executive Officer Eric Steigerwalt, supported by an experienced leadership team and a board chaired by Robert A. Vagt. The company continues to build on its strategic focus of delivering reliable retirement income and insurance protection, while maintaining disciplined capital management and enhancing customer engagement through technology-driven service platforms.
