In today’s ever-changing world, providing financial security for your loved ones is more important than ever. For nearly 180 years, New York Life Insurance Company has been a steadfast pillar of protection, helping individuals and families build secure financial futures. As the largest mutual life insurance company in the United States, New York Life is uniquely positioned to prioritize its policyholders, offering a combination of financial strength, diverse product offerings, and a commitment to long-term value.
Why Choose New York Life?
- Unparalleled Financial Strength: New York Life consistently earns the highest financial strength ratings from all four major independent rating agencies (A.M. Best: A++, Fitch Ratings: AAA, Moody’s Investors Service: Aaa, Standard & Poor’s: AA+). These top-tier ratings underscore the company’s ability to meet its financial obligations to policyholders, providing peace of mind in knowing your coverage is backed by a robust and stable institution.
- Mutual Company Advantage: As a mutual company, New York Life is owned by its policyholders, not by external shareholders. This structure means the company’s decisions are focused on the long-term benefit of its policyholders, often resulting in competitive dividends for eligible policies. New York Life has a remarkable history of paying dividends to policyholders for over 167 consecutive years.
- A Legacy of Trust and Service: Since 1845, New York Life has been dedicated to fulfilling its promises. This enduring legacy is built on a foundation of responsible financial management and a deep commitment to customer service, with a vast network of agents and advisors across the country ready to provide personalized guidance.
Tailored Solutions for Every Stage of Life
New York Life offers a comprehensive suite of insurance and financial products designed to address a wide range of needs:
- Life Insurance:
- Whole Life Insurance: This foundational product provides lifelong coverage with guaranteed premiums and a cash value component that grows tax-deferred over time. The cash value can be accessed during your lifetime through loans or withdrawals, offering a flexible financial asset.
- Term Life Insurance: Ideal for temporary needs, term life insurance provides coverage for a specific period (e.g., 10, 15, or 20 years) with level premiums. It’s often a more affordable option for those seeking a substantial death benefit for a defined period. Many term policies also offer the option to convert to permanent coverage.
- Universal Life Insurance: Offering flexibility, universal life allows you to adjust premium payments and death benefit amounts within certain limits. It also has the potential to build cash value, providing a balance between long-term protection and adaptability.
- Variable Universal Life Insurance: For those comfortable with market risk, variable universal life offers growth potential through a variety of investment options within the policy’s cash value, while still providing a death benefit.
- Long-Term Care Insurance: As people live longer, the need for long-term care can arise. New York Life’s long-term care insurance solutions help cover the costs of home care or facility care for everyday activities, protecting your savings and providing choices for how you receive care. Options like NYL My Care and NYL Secure Care offer traditional long-term care, while Asset Flex combines long-term care with life insurance.
- Annuities: Designed to help you grow and protect your retirement savings, annuities from New York Life offer various options to generate a guaranteed income stream in retirement. Fixed deferred annuities provide guaranteed growth, while variable annuities offer market-linked growth potential.
- Wealth Management Services: Through Eagle Strategies LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary, New York Life offers comprehensive wealth management services. Financial advisors can help you create a holistic financial strategy, including investment management, retirement planning, and estate planning, to help you achieve your financial goals.
Beyond the Policy: A Commitment to Community
New York Life’s dedication extends beyond financial products.
