About Brighthouse Financial

From its filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission

SEC filings

Brighthouse Financial is based in Charlotte, North Carolina and is incorporated in Delaware. Its shares trade on Nasdaq under the ticker BHF. The SEC classifies its business as life insurance. In the fiscal year to 31 December 2025, it reported revenue of $6.77bn and net income of $433.0m. At that date it held total assets of $241.80bn and shareholders' equity of $6.77bn.

In its own words

We are one of the largest providers of annuity and life insurance products in the U.S. with over 2.0 million annuity contracts and insurance policies in force at December 31, 2025. We deliver our products through multiple independent distribution channels and marketing arrangements with a diverse network of distribution partners. We primarily transact business through our insurance subsidiaries, Brighthouse Life Insurance Company, Brighthouse Life Insurance Company of NY (“BHNY”) and New England Life Insurance Company (“NELICO”); however, NELICO does not currently write new business.

We believe we are a financially disciplined company with an emphasis on independent distribution and that our strategy of offering a targeted set of products to serve our customers and distribution partners will enhance our ability to invest in our business and distribute cash to our shareholders over time. We also believe that general demographic trends in the U.S. population, the increase in under-insured individuals, the potential risk to governmental social safety net programs and the shifting of responsibility for retirement planning and financial security from employers and other institutions to individuals will create opportunities to generate significant demand for our products.
