In this, our fourth edition, we also identify important trends emerging post Gramm- Leach-Bliley that affect financial services as a whole. We have put these together in a sepa- rate chapter. We now see, for example, that more than 50 percent of bank holding companies a re re p o rting income from sales of insurance, mutual funds and annuities, and from invest- ment banking activities. And the number of financial holding companies involved in insur- ance underwriting more than doubled from 2000 to 2003. Early data for 2004 suggest these t rends will continue upward. In addition to these trends, other features that have been added to this edition include: • Percentage of workers with retirement benefits • Remittances (money transfers from immigrants to their families in other countries) • Information technology spending in the insurance industry • New charts on finance companies and e-commerce and more details on bank loans. This endeavor to integrate information on trends with basic facts on major industry sec- tors could not succeed without the help of many organizations, consultants and others who collect industry data and who have generously given permission to use their data in this book. However, the bulk of the work involved in collecting, integrating and interpreting the material was done by the Insurance Information Institute, which accepts editorial re s p o n s i- bility for the book. The Financial Services Roundtable and the Insurance Information Institute actively seek your advice, comments and suggestions for next year’s edition.

    10 Years of the Dodd-Frank Act

    10 Years of the Dodd-Frank Act BACKGROUND On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act was signed into law. Dodd-Frank, which spans more than 2,300 pages and created more than 400 new rules and mandates, established the financial regulatory framework that sets the guideposts within which banks of all sizes, particularly large financial institutions, operate. Ten years after the massive financial regulatory overhaul, the post-crisis regulatory framework remains intact. The strength and resilience of the American banking system today is the result of the substantial efforts and investment by policymakers, regulators and financial institutions across the country to achieve the shared goal of financial stability. THE LASTING LEGACY OF THE DODD-FRANK ACT Dodd-Frank established a number of important measures to promote financial stability. Some of the most impactful include measures to promote resolvability, limit proprietary trading and create central clearing for certain financial instruments. 1. Resolvability Dodd-Frank led to significant enhancements to the resolvability of financial institutions, improving stability within the U.S. financial system. LIVING WILLS Large banks now engage in an ongoing decrease their organizational complexity. Total resolution planning process.

This consultation report is relevant to our member institutions, and in particular the U.S. global systemically important bank holding companies (“U.S. GSIBs”), which are key stakeholders with information and experience on the efficacy and effects of TBTF reforms in the United States. Below, we comment on the preliminary results of the consultation report, describe 1 The Financial Services Forum is an economic policy and advocacy organization whose members are the chief executive officers of the eight largest and most diversified financial institutions headquartered in the United States. Forum member institutions are a leading source of lending and investment in the United States and serve millions of consumers, businesses, investors, and communities throughout the country. The Forum promotes policies that support savings and investment, deep and liquid capital markets, a competitive global marketplace, and a sound financial system.

    Working Paper Series Department of Economics Alfred Lerner College of Business & Economics University of Delaware Working Paper No. 2004-07 The Constitutional Creation of a Common Currency in the U.S. 1748-1811: Monetary Stabilization Versus Merchant Rent Seeking. Farley Grubb FARLEY GRUBB THE CONSTITUTIONAL CREATION OF A COMMON CURRENCY IN THE U.S., 1748-1811: MONETARY STABILIZATION VERSUS MERCHANT RENT SEEKING The value of having a single currency, the optimal size of currency unions, and the cost of forming such unions, is an unresolved debate1. An important aspect of this debate is the empirical success claimed for currency unions such as the United States. The fact that otherwise-sovereign states within the United States are not legally allowed to issue their own currency, thus creating a single cur- rency zone for the whole United States based on the U.S. dollar, is commonly used as an example for emulation and as justification for policy choices, such as the current move toward a European currency union based on the Euro2. The benefits of this constitutionally created U.S. currency union and, by analogy, the benefits for other politically manufactured currency unions are as- sumed to be obvious, namely a reduction in monetary instability and exchange- rate transactions costs within the union thereby stimulating long-run economic growth. These alleged benefits for the U.S., however, are not derived from market evidence, but from simple theoretical assertions and from a historical literature that has taken as fact the rhetoric of the winning side at the U.S. Con- stitutional Convention. Independent of theory and rhetoric, little is known about how and why the U.S.

    Monetary Policy and the Dollar Peter L. Rousseaua 1. Introduction Twenty

    Monetary Policy and the Dollar Peter L. Rousseaua 1. Introduction Twenty-first century Americans take for granted that a dollar is worth a dollar, meaning that a given Federal Reserve note at a point in time carries a fixed purchasing power regardless of who tenders it or where it is tendered. And though one may rightfully say that prices of goods with identical physical characteristics can and do differ across localities and that a dollar may therefore not purchase the same quantities of goods everywhere, an apple in New York is a distinct economic good from an apple in Cleveland. This again just means that a dollar is worth a dollar with no questions asked of its holder. When the United States adopted the dollar as a common currency shortly after the ratification of the Federal Constitution in 1788, it represented the birth of the monetary system that for the most part continues to the present day―a system that eventually led to the dollar’s universal acceptance and rise to its position as the world’s leading currency. With it came a central bank, a mint, the start of modern banking operations and securities markets, and a newly- found confidence among investors in the ability of the young nation to service its financial obligations. The new system and its specie standard represented a marked improvement over the fiat paper money systems that had operated in the British North American colonies prior to their independence in 1776, and an enormous improvement over the rapidly-deteriorating monetary conditions that existed during the during the Revolutionary War (1776-1781) and under the Articles of Confederation (1781-1788).

Introduction and Nature of Proceeding 1.1. Pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act,1 and Rule 192(a) of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC” or “Commission”) Rules of Practice,2 the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, National Association of Corporate Directors, National Black Chamber of Commerce, American Petroleum Institute, American Insurance Association, The Latino Coalition, Financial Services Roundtable, Center on Executive Compensation, and Financial Services Forum (collectively, “Petitioners”) petition the Commission to propose an amendment to, seek public comment on, and ultimately amend, the Commission’s existing rule regarding the excludability from company proxy materials 1 5 U.S.C. §553(e) (2012). 2 17 C.F.R. §201.192(a) (2013). of shareholder proposals previously submitted to shareholders that did not elicit meaningful shareholder support (“Resubmission Rule”).3 3 17 C.F.R. §240.14a-8(i)(12) (2013).

    Metlife Proxy Statement 2018

    MetLife, Inc. 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166 April 26, 2018 Fellow Shareholders: I am writing to you for the first time in my role as MetLife’s Lead Director to share the Board’s perspective on MetLife’s performance in 2017 and how the Company is progressing with its ongoing transformation. As Directors, we are responsible for ensuring the Company’s business strategy is sound and management is executing it effectively. We plan for the Company’s future by evaluating management talent against anticipated needs and we play the unique role of acting as advocates for shareholders to ensure your interests are represented in all major decisions affecting MetLife. The feedback the Board received from shareholders during 2017 has proven invaluable as we continue to focus on creating value for shareholders. MetLife made important progress last year in several areas. The Brighthouse Financial separation opened a new chapter in MetLife’s history. As the Company focuses on less capital-intensive businesses with greater cash-generating potential, it has the opportunity to change how it is viewed and valued by investors. MetLife achieved a ratio of Core Free Cash Flow to Core Adjusted Earnings of 75 percent last year, hitting the top end of the Company’s projected range. This made it possible to return a record $4.6 billion to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends. In January, MetLife won its long-running legal battle to remove the Company’s Systemically Important Financial Institution (SIFI) designation when the federal government dropped its appeal of the court ruling in our favor.
