On MetLife's recent earnings call, CEO Michel Khalaf reported strong financial performance for the first quarter of 2024. He attributed this to "the underlying strength of our business fundamentals" which include top-line growth and disciplined underwriting and management. It is clear from these comments that the company's strategic approach is resonating within the company as well as in the wider business world.MetLife's Group Benefits business has shown appreciable progress, with adjusted premiums and related revenues increasing by 5% relative to the same period in the previous year. A key driver of revenue growth appears to be that MetLife's benefits offerings are increasingly in line with customer needs.Additionally, the company's Retirement and Income Solutions (RIS) sector has registered significant sales growth—a 49% increase compared to the prior year. This growth is attributed in large part to the success of structured settlements and corporate-owned life insurance productions, a testament to MetLife's ability to diversify its product range while concurrently addressing evolving client needs.Further illuminating strategic success, the company's 2024 employee benefit study revealed insightful customer trends. A key finding was the positive impact of diverse benefit offerings on organizational performance and employee health. This trend supports MetLife's focus on offering a broad and comprehensive range of products and services in order to expand customer reach and drive growth.Looking forward, CEO Khalaf identified key priorities as organic growth, disciplined capital management, and enhancing shareholder value through dividends and share repurchases. In fact, the company has approved an approximately $3.6 billion share repurchase as part of these efforts.In summary, MetLife has demonstrated robust financial performance for the first quarter of 2024. Their success appears to rest upon a balanced, strategic approach that combines agile business maneuvering, customer-centric diversification, and disciplined growth management. While it would be premature to predict future performance based on a single quarter, it is clear that MetLife is well-positioned to continue capitalizing on its current strategic pathway under the helm of Michel Khalaf. However, the company, like any other, is operating in a rapidly evolving marketplace, and conditions could change. As observers, we must also take into account that these statements and perspectives derive from MetLife's earnings call and claims acknowledged to investors within that framework.

Episode 56: The Death of Abu Talib Welcome to Seerah Pearls, which aims to highlight some tantalising learning points from each episode of the Seerah- Life of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). The 11th year of Prophethood marks the Year of Sorrow, in which the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) lost his beloved wife Khadijah (RA) and dear Uncle Abu Talib. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) was eight when he came to the care of Abu Talib, who became a father-figure in his life. The Prophet's (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) father died before he was born, his mother when he was aged 6, and his grandfather when he was aged 8. Abu Talib and the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) became very attached to each other, with the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) consulting him about major decisions e.g. with regards to his career and marriage. On proclaiming Prophethood, Abu Talib did not accept, but he defended the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) against the Quraysh. Abu Talib falls ill Abu Talib was in his late 70s and very ill. Quraysh realised he was approaching death and they sent a delegation of the leading Qurayshi figures, like Umayyah bin Khalaf and Abu Jahl. The delegation expressed their respect of Abu Talib, but also recognised that he was terminally ill. They wanted to address the political situation without any ambiguity. They did not agree with the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam), so they asked for him to be called to negotiate something between them: that he should leave them and they would leave him. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) came and Abu Talib explained that the dignitaries of his people had gathered for negotiations. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) agreed, but never compromised in Tawhid. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) made one request- if they gave this to him, they would rule over all the Arabs and the non-Arabs would come and follow them. Abu Jahl said, ‘Sure, by your father, I am ready, I will agree to 10 things!' The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said, ‘Say there is no God but Allah and you leave everything else'. The delegation clapped their hands as a sign of displeasure of this proposition. The delegation started saying to each other that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) was not here to compromise, so they would continue the same and see who would come out on top. Everyone walked away, leaving the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) sitting with Abu Talib, who commented, ‘I swear to God, beloved nephew, I do not think you asked them for a lot'. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) thought this was the opportunity to address his uncle. He encouraged him to accept Islam, so that he could vouch for Abu Talib on the Day of Judgement. Abu Talib said, ‘Beloved Nephew, if I was not afraid what these people would do to you and your family and I did not think the Quraysh would assume that I did it to escape death, I would have done it. I will not say it just to please you.' Abu Talib's final moments A few days later, Abu Talib became extremely ill and was breathing his last. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) ran to his bedside, as did the Quraysh leaders. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) kneeled in close and said, ‘Dear Uncle, say there is no God but Allah, just once. Just one word and I will fight on your behalf in front of Allah.' Abu Jahl started screaming, ‘Oh Abu Talib, will you leave the religion of your father, Abu Muttalib?' They kept saying this, almost heckling the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam), to the point where Abu Talib could not hear the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). Finally, he looked at the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and said, ‘Upon the religion of Abdul Muttalib', and passed away. Allah knows best whether Abu Talib accepted Islam or not, but this is something we do not need to ruminate over.

Welcome to the Tearsheet Podcast. I'm Tearsheet editor in chief, Zack Miller. There are a few brands that are synonymous with the modern financial services tech stack: Stripe, Galileo, Square. Marqeta is definitely in that list. Founder Jason Gardner stepped down recently and the firm named Simon Khalaf CEO. Simon was previously chief product officer at the firm and joins us on the podcast to take a look at the current market dynamics in this complicated time for financial services and technology. Simon talks about Marqeta's recent acquisition of credit card program manager Power and takes us behind the scenes to share why customer demand led to this acquisition. With Power and credit along side the firm's tech in debit and prepaid, it sounds like cards have a lot of room to provide intelligence and guidance to their holders going forward. Simon Khalaf is my guest today on the Tearsheet Podcast.
