I've brought you all here to educate you on EV, especially you, Snoopy. [♪ The Charlie Brown Theme by Vince Guaraldi ♪] - What's EV? - EV stands for Embedded Value, a measure of how well the company is doing. So where does this money come from, Chuck? They work out the expected profits and when they'll be available to shareholders. How on earth do they do that? It sounds pretty complicated. - Yes, they need actuaries. - Actors? No, silly. Actuaries. And they're quite different from actors, and they don't just sit around making movies all day. So if a shareholder knows that a company adds capital into its EV, does that make them feel more secure? Yes, it's like the way this blanket makes me feel so secure. The one thing I don't get is, how is it different from what companies already do? Unlike what they already do, EV gives a truer value of the company. It can be shared with the market and can affect their stock prices. And is that all EV is good for? No, silly. It tells them which products are doing good and which are bad, and it helps them track their performance. So do other companies do the same thing? Most companies in the UK are already doing this, and now even more are joining in. - Well, that sounds like a great idea to me. Yes, it's a great idea. Snoopy, all you do is eat and sleep. [♪ The Charlie Brown Theme by Vince Guaraldi ♫] [♪ Linus and Lucy by Vince Guaraldi ♪] [MetLife] So there you have it—Snoopy and his friends have learned all about the EV project, and in a nutshell, EV is a value which gives an indication of how well the company is doing by measuring the profits available available for its shareholders. MetLife needs to complete this initiative by May 2016 so that everyone in the magical land of MetLife can live happily ever after. [♪ Linus and Lucy by Vince Guaraldi ♪]
