| brighthouse financial and metlife: Financial Economics of Insurance Ralph S.J. Koijen, Motohiro Yogo, 2023-04-04 An authoritative and comprehensive graduate textbook on the modern insurance sector The traditional role of insurers is to insure idiosyncratic risk through products such as life annuities, life insurance, and health insurance. With the decline of private defined benefit plans and government pension plans around the world, insurers are increasingly taking on the role of insuring market risk through minimum return guarantees. Insurers also use more complex capital management tools such as derivatives, off-balance-sheet reinsurance, and securities lending. Financial Economics of Insurance provides a unified framework to study the impact of financial and regulatory frictions as well as imperfect competition on all insurer decisions. The book covers all facets of the modern insurance sector, guiding readers through its complexities with empirical facts, institutional details, and quantitative modeling. An up-to-date textbook for graduate students in economics, finance, and insurance Covers a broad range of topics, including insurance pricing, contract design, reinsurance, portfolio choice, and risk management Provides promising new directions for future research Can be taught in courses on asset pricing, corporate finance, industrial organization, and public economics An invaluable resource for policymakers seeking an empirical and institutional account of today’s insurance sector |

| brighthouse financial and metlife: The Insurance Forum Joseph M. Belth, 2015 What can one person do when a powerful industry censors the person's views? That is the question Joseph M. Belth tries to answer in this memoir about his publication of an independent monthly periodical called The Insurance Forum. He started the periodical with the January 1974 issue after he had experienced 31 incidents of censorship over a period of eight years. The censorship was the work of trade press periodicals, professional journals, professional organizations, insurance companies, and others who wanted to prevent him from expressing his views. He ended the Forum when he published the December 2013 issue after 40 consecutive years of publication. This memoir reveals the inside story of Belth's victories, partial victories, and defeats. His memoir explains why and how the Forum began and describes significant events that occurred during the four decades of operation, including those relating to life insurance, annuities, company operations, and regulation. Belth also describes his adolescent years and education prior to joining the faculty of Indiana University in 1962, and his long association with the University. -- From book jacket. |

| brighthouse financial and metlife: Wealth Creation in the World’s Largest Mergers and Acquisitions B. Rajesh Kumar, 2018-11-29 This book highlights research-based case studies in order to analyze the wealth created in the world’s largest mergers and acquisitions (M&A). This book encourages cross fertilization in theory building and applied research by examining the links between M&A and wealth creation. Each chapter covers a specific case and offers a focused clinical examination of the entire lifecycle of M&A for each mega deal, exploring all aspects of the process. The success of M&A are analyzed through two main research approaches: event studies and financial performance analyses. The event studies examine the abnormal returns to the shareholders in the period surrounding the merger announcement. The financial performance studies examine the reported financial results of acquirers before and after the acquisition to see whether financial performance has improved after merger. The relation between method of payment, premium paid and stock returns are examined. The chapters also discuss synergies of the deal-cost and revenue synergies. Mergers and acquisitions represent a major force in modern financial and economic environment. Whether in times of boom or bust, M&As have emerged as a compelling strategy for growth. The biggest companies of modern day have all taken form through a series of restructuring activities like multiple mergers. Acquisitions continue to remain as the quickest route companies take to operate in new markets and to add new capabilities and resources. The cases covered in this book highlights high profile M&As and focuses on the wealth creation for shareholders of acquirer and target firms as a financial assessment of the merger’s success. The book should be useful for finance professionals, corporate planners, strategists, and managers. |

| brighthouse financial and metlife: Investment Industry Claims Debunked Robert P. Kurshan, 2022 This book is for people who want to know what to do with the money they save: so that it's there when they need it - to buy a home, pay for college, etc. - but also grows enough so they don't outlive it. The investment industry is fixated on the importance of maintaining a balance of stocks and bonds, shifting to more bonds as one ages. This book challenges this belief by arguing that what's actually important is to have just enough bonds and cash to support spending needs from a stable source, and to replenish these through the sale of stocks at propitious times when the stock market is not depressed. It features simple mathematical calculations, an explanation of basic financial objects like stocks, bonds, ladders, CDs, ETFs, or annuities, a discussion of how to evaluate financial risk, examinations of insurance, fraud deterrence, dollar cost averaging, benefits of a mortgage, risks of a pension, and general advice about healthcare. Although the book is written to be accessible to those with little or no prior knowledge of finance, the studies and conclusions presented here benefit a multitude of financial investors. |

TAHYAR, MARGARET.), Howell Jackson, Margaret Tahyar, 2018-08-06 Financial Regulation: Law and Policy (2d Edition) introduces the field of financial regulation in a new and accessible way. Even though a decade has passed since the most systemic financial crisis in the last 70 years and eight years have elapsed since a major shift in regulatory design, the world is still grappling with the aftermath. In addition, technology innovations, including Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, market forces and a changing political environment all have combined to reframe and reorient public debate over financial regulation. The book has kept up to date with all of these changes. The book analyzes and compares the market and regulatory architecture of the entire U.S. financial sector as it exists today, from banks, insurance companies, and broker-dealers, to asset managers, complex financial conglomerates, and government-sponsored enterprises. The book explores a range of financial activities, from consumer finance and investment to payment systems, securitization, short-term wholesale funding, money markets, and derivatives. The book examines a range of regulatory techniques, including supervision, enforcement, and rule-writing, as well as crisis-fighting tools such as resolution and the lender of last resort. Throughout the book, the authors note the cross-border implications of U.S. rules, and compare, where appropriate, the U.S. financial regulatory framework and policy choices to those in other places around the globe, especially the European Union. |

It recommends reform of the law in four areas of insurance law: the duty of disclosure in business and other non-consumer insurance; the law of insurance warranties; insurer's remedies for fraudulent claims; and late payment of insurance claims. These reforms would be a default scheme for business insurance, leaving the parties free to agree alternative arrangements in their contracts provided they do so transparently.

It brings together a range of experts and practitioners, including Joseph Stiglitz, a Nobel Prize winner; former congressman Barney Frank; former treasury secretary Jacob Lew; Paul Tucker, a former deputy governor of the Bank of England; and Steve Cutler, general counsel of JP Morgan Chase during the financial crisis. Each poses crucial questions: What were the origins of the crisis? How effective were international and domestic regulatory responses? Have we addressed the roots of the crisis through reform and regulation? Are our financial systems and the global economy better able to withstand another crash? After the Crash is vital reading as both a retrospective on the last crisis and an analysis of possible sources of the next one. |

| brighthouse financial and metlife: Big Data and the Welfare State Torben Iversen, Philipp Rehm, 2022-05-25 A core principle of the welfare state is that everyone pays taxes or contributions in exchange for universal insurance against social risks such as sickness, old age, unemployment, and plain bad luck. This solidarity principle assumes that everyone is a member of a single national insurance pool, and it is commonly explained by poor and asymmetric information, which undermines markets and creates the perception that we are all in the same boat. Living in the midst of an information revolution, this is no longer a satisfactory approach. This book explores, theoretically and empirically, the consequences of 'big data' for the politics of social protection. Torben Iversen and Philipp Rehm argue that more and better data polarize preferences over public insurance and often segment social insurance into smaller, more homogenous, and less redistributive pools, using cases studies of health and unemployment insurance and statistical analyses of life insurance, credit markets, and public opinion. |
