MetLife’s Enterprise Growth Strategy

What is MetLife’s New Frontier strategy?

New Frontier is MetLife’s five-year global enterprise strategy, focused on delivering responsible growth and attractive returns with lower risk. The strategy centers around four strategic priorities that position the company to deepen our advantage and value capture in attractive businesses: group benefits, retirement & income solutions, asset management, and high growth international markets.

As a leading global insurance, annuities, and employee benefits provider, MetLife is a trusted source of security in the lives of millions. Since selling our first policy in 1868, we’ve successfully navigated pandemics, recessions, and unprecedented global events, consistently delivering strong value to generations of stakeholders. We’re confident that our New Frontier strategy is the right approach for MetLife today.

New Frontier builds on MetLife’s market leadership and harnesses the power of MetLife’s differentiators – scale, diversification, distribution capabilities and technology – to continue exceeding our customers’ expectations while maintaining financial resilience across economic cycles.

New Frontier concentrates on four strategic priorities with the greatest opportunity for growth and value creation. 

MetLife is in the business of building confident futures. New Frontier is how we do it.

Financial accountability and performance

MetLife’s purpose, “always with you, building a more confident future,” is at the heart of everything we do. Our global business strategy is no exception.

The strategic priorities and performance targets we’ve outlined go beyond the bottom line. We aim to expand the size and scale of our businesses to better serve our customers and communities with strength and compassion.

Throughout our history, we’ve always recognized that growth devoid of purpose isn’t true or lasting growth. For this reason, our foundational aspiration remains unchanged: to be a global force for good, creating sustainable value for all stakeholders—from investors seeking performance to individuals investing in their family’s futures.
