The firm was established in August 2017 as a spin-off from MetLife, Inc., and is headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The company’s core product offerings include fixed indexed annuities, which allow policyholders to participate in market-linked gains while protecting against downside market risk, and single premium immediate annuities, which provide guaranteed lifetime income. In addition to annuities, Brighthouse Financial offers group annuity solutions tailored to institutional clients such as retirement plan providers and financial advisors. These products are distributed through a network of independent broker-dealers, insurance agents, banks and other strategic partners across the United States. Brighthouse Financial serves clients throughout the United States and maintains operational centers in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Kansas City, Missouri, among other locations. Under the leadership of President and Chief Executive Officer Eric Steigerwalt and Chief Financial Officer Stephen Secor, the company has sought to streamline its operations, optimize its portfolio of legacy blocks and drive growth in its retirement income business.
