MetLife is owned by its shareholders, as it is a publicly traded company. The biggest shareholders are BlackRock, Dodge & Cox, and The Vanguard Group, which have a combined ownership stake of almost 20%, as of Q3 2021, according to public filings.
MetLife shareholders no longer have control of MetLife's home and auto insurance business, however, as it was purchased by Farmers in April 2021. All existing MetLife home and auto insurance policies are now completely handled by Farmers Insurance. All other types of MetLife coverage, such as health and life insurance, are still available from MetLife, though.
MetLife was founded in 1868, and it has been completely public since 2000. For more information, check out WalletHub%s full MetLife review.
