Fortune's list of America's Most Admired Companies is the definitive report card on corporate reputation. The winners were chosen from the 1,000 largest U.S. companies (ranked by revenue) and the top foreign–owned companies operating in the U.S. Factors include quality of management, quality of products and services, innovation, long–term investment, financial soundness, people management, social responsibility, and use of corporate assets. For 2008, New York Life ranked second overall in the Life and Health sector of the Insurance Industry — factoring in all eight key attributes of reputation.

The 2007 Fortune 500
New York Life ranks #78 on the prestigious Fortune 500 list. Each year, Fortune magazine collects revenue data from the largest companies in the United States and publishes the rankings. The published list is considered a “who’s who” of corporate America.

With 2006 revenue of more than $28 billion, according to Fortune’s proprietary formula, New York Life once again retained its title as the largest mutual life insurance company in the United States.

Companies that sit on Fortune magazine's tenth annual survey of the World's Most Admired Companies are chosen based on performance in nine key attributes of reputation including global-ness, innovation, quality of management, quality of products and services, employee talent, financial soundness, social responsibility, use of corporate assets and long–term investment.
