I, Joseph B. Feil, certify that:
1. I have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-K of MetLife Policyholder Trust, for which
Wilmington Trust Company acts as Trustee;
2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the
circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period
covered by this report;
3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included
in this report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, distributable
income and changes in trust corpus of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this
report;
4. I am responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial
reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f)), or for causing such
procedures to be established and maintained, for the registrant and I have:
a) Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and
procedures to be designed under my supervision, to ensure that material information relating to
the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to me by others within
those entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared;
b) Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal control
over financial reporting to be designed under my supervision, to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
c) Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrants disclosure controls and procedures and
presented in this report my conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and
procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and
d) Disclosed in this report any change in the registrants internal control over financial
reporting that occurred during the registrants most recent fiscal quarter (the registrants
fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrants internal control over financial
reporting; and
5. I have disclosed, based on my most recent evaluation of internal control over financial
reporting, to the registrants auditors:
a) All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of
internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the
registrants ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information; and
b) Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves persons who have a significant role in
the registrants internal control over financial reporting.
In giving the certifications in paragraphs 4 and 5 above, I have relied to the extent I
consider reasonable on information provided to me by MetLife, Inc. and Mellon Investor Services
LLC.
