大都会人寿公布 2023 年全年和第四季度业绩。 MetLife Announces Full Year and Fourth Quarter 2023 Results.

保险公司大都会人寿周三报告称，受保费上涨和投资回报强劲的推动，第四季度调整后利润有所增长。 Insurer MetLife reported a rise in fourth-quarter adjusted profit on Wednesday, bolstered by higher premiums and strong returns from investments. 保险业通常被认为是“防衰退”的行业，无论经济状况如何，其需求都保持稳定，因为保单通常由雇主担保或由政府强制执行。 The insurance industry is typically considered 'recession proof' and enjoys steady demand irrespective of economic conditions as policies are often guaranteed by employers or mandated by the government. 然而，大都会人寿报告本季度净利润下降 63% 至 5.74 亿美元，主要是由于市场风险收益重新计量损失 4.31 亿美元。 MetLife, however, reported a 63% drop in net income to $574 million in the quarter, primarily due to market risk benefit remeasurement losses of $431 million.
