Consider an annuity if you're looking for:
- A way to preserve your retirement savings and reduce the risk of outliving your assets
- Tax-deferred growth potential for your money
#1 in Customer Satisfaction among Individual Annuity Providers
New York Life received the highest score among individual annuity providers in a tie in the J.D. Power 2020 U.S. Life Insurance Study of customers' satisfaction with annuity providers.
Choosing the right annuity product is about finding your optimal balance of growth and security.
Here are some factors to consider when thinking about annuities:
Stability and lower risk.
Some people prefer knowing that they will receive a fixed interest rate and that they are not taking risks with their retirement funds. New York Life offers annuities that guarantee your principal amount, so it never shrinks.
Growth with higher risk.
If you are interested in trying to grow your money, then you may want to consider annuities that move with the market, giving you an opportunity for higher growth.
Let's get started and take a look at what product is right for you.
Fixed deferred annuities
If you prefer not to put your money into the market, these types of annuities provide a steadier, more predictable growth approach to your savings.
Variable annuities
If you're looking for a way for your savings to potentially grow in the market and are willing to accept the risk that returns will fluctuate, including a possible loss of principal, this may be a good fit for you.
Work with a financial professional to customize your annuity with these add-ons, which are also known as riders.
Protect your principal.
If you are buying a New York Life Variable Annuity, but would like to make sure you don’t lose money in the market, the purchase of an Accumulation benefit rider1 option will protect your money invested in the first policy year from poor market performance (adjusted for withdrawals). If your account value falls below your initial investment at the end of a holding period, we’ll make up the difference.
Access to your cash.
If you are concerned about unexpectedly needing the policy value of your New York Life Fixed Deferred Annuity, you may want to consider the Living needs benefit. It can help you with certain unexpected needs by enabling you to access cash from your policy without a withdrawal charge.

Which one is best suited to your needs and financial situation?
1 The accumulation benefit rider, called the Investment Preservation Rider 3.0 (IPR), provides principal protection but does not protect the owner’s investment from day‐to‐day market fluctuations or against losses that could be realized prior to completion of the holding period. If you keep your money invested after the holding period, the annuity’s account value will then be subject to market fluctuation.
