Stable Value Fund
The MetLife Unified Trust Stable Value fund offers a combination of low volatility and intermediate bond-like returns. The Fund has strong historical returns compared to peers and provides a very competitive crediting rate.
MetLife Unified Trust Stable Value Fund
The Fund is invested in three separate accounts of MetLife Insurance Company.
This is important because the assets of the separate accounts, unlike the general account, are dedicated specifically for stable value products and are not subject to the creditors of MetLife should they experience financial difficulty.
MetLife also provides the return guarantee or “wrap” for the fund that ensures the low volatility of returns.
