Brighthouse Retirement Account Annuity
ISSUED BY
BRIGHTHOUSE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
Updating Summary Prospectus
April 28, 2025
A Flexible Premium Variable Annuity Contract
The prospectus for Brighthouse Retirement Account Annuity , a flexible premium variable annuity contract issued by Brighthouse Life Insurance Company (the Company, or We, Us, or Our), is available and contains more information about the Contract including its features, benefits, and risks. You can find the current prospectus and other information about the Contract online at https://dfinview.com/BHF/PUFT/BHF85. You can also obtain this information at no cost by calling (833) 208-3018 or by sending an email request to [email protected]. We no longer actively offer the Contracts to new purchasers, but We continue to accept new Participants under existing Contracts previously issued to Plans.
If, for an additional charge, You selected the Optional Death Benefit, We will add Purchase Payment Conservation Credits (also referred to as "bonus credits") to Your Contract with each Purchase Payment. Regardless of the death benefit selected, We will add a credit to Contract Value that is applied to an Annuity option after the first year. Expenses for variable annuity contracts with bonus credits may be higher than for other contracts without such credits. The amount of credits under the Contract may be more than offset by the higher fees and charges associated with the credits.
Additional general information about certain investment products, including variable annuities, has been prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s staff and is available at Investor.gov.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has not approved or disapproved these securities or the adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

may have a financial incentive to offer You a new contract in place of the
one You own. You should only exchange a contract You already own if You
determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both contracts,
that it is better for You to purchase the new contract rather than continue to
own Your existing contract.
