MetLife Insurance Investments (MII) is the global internal investment manager responsible for the general account and separate account assets of MetLife’s Insurance Companies. For the general account, which totals over $400 billion in assets, MII develops and manages investment strategies in a manner consistent with business needs, including practicing asset-liability management and seeking investments with attractive relative value characteristics across asset sectors. MII designs strategic asset allocations to construct and manage portfolios while allowing for tactical adjustments that can maximize risk-adjusted returns over market cycles. 

MII partners closely with each MetLife line of business to establish portfolio strategies, investment guidelines, and asset allocations to meet or exceed key metrics and other business objectives and interfaces with MetLife Investment Management, the primary asset manager for the general account. MII has oversight responsibility for asset managers managing about $105 billion of separate account assets and manages MetLife pension plan assets totaling about $12 billion.

The MII team consists of investment professionals across a diverse set of disciplines including insurance portfolio management, investment strategy, asset allocation, product pricing, asset sector oversight, derivative solutions and trading as well as analysis of external manager capabilities. The team operates in the United States, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Its stewardship of the general account has spanned MetLife’s 155-year history and MII plays an integral role in helping MetLife deliver on its promises to clients.

The Investment Analyst will be part of the Investment Strategy team that proposes, reports and monitors the ongoing asset allocation primarily for MetLife’s US general account, in consultation with the MII leadership team. The team will also partner with international chief investment officers to build consistency in the approach to asset allocation for the global businesses.  The Investment Strategy Team is a key contact point with MII colleagues in the development and execution of portfolio strategies to support key metrics and strategic initiatives. The team will be a key interface with MIM, particularly the Insurance Asset Management Team, when coordinating and overseeing execution of MII’s quarterly / ongoing asset allocation plan.
