New York Life

As a mutual company, we are accountable to you only.

That means we are fully aligned with our policy owners, not with outside investors or Wall Street. This allows us to focus on delivering lifelong value to our clients, including sharing our success with eligible participating policy owners through non-guaranteed dividends, which we’ve paid for 166 consecutive years.

What mutuality means for you:

• We’re focused on the long term, and our interests are always aligned with those of our policy owners.
• Our financial strength provides peace of mind now and in the future.
• Since 1854, we’ve paid dividends every year.
• We’ve been meeting our obligations for over 175 years, in good times and bad.

Serving local communities, making a national impact.

The history of New York Life is about being there when we are needed, for our customers and for the thousands of communities where we work and live. Our agents and employees contributed over 145,000 hours of volunteer work in 2019 alone. The New York Life Foundation has contributed nearly $360 million since its founding in 1979, with a focus on educational enhancement and helping children who have suffered the loss of a loved one.
