Shares of MetLife, Inc. (NYSE:MET), inclined 2.18% to $53.99, during its last trading session.
MetLife, the largest U.S. life insurer, warned of possible disruption from a Labor Department proposal designed to make sure that clients seeking retirement products get the best advice, according to Bloomberg.
While that plan may sound reasonable “conceptually,” people should consider a “real world” scenario, Chief Executive Officer Steve Kandarian said Wednesday at a conference in New York.
Brokers and insurance agents would have to put clients’ interests ahead of their own, under an Obama administration plan from April. Kandarian likened the proposal to requiring a car dealership that sells Chevrolets to guide a potential customer to a Ford outlet. Bloomberg Reports.
