Our Difference Your goals are our goals. Let's get there together

As a mutual insurance company, New York Life operates much like local organizations. That's because we serve only one constituency—our policyholders—so it's easy to remain true to our mission and focused on what matters most.

Our business is unique. When our clients partner with us, they receive a promise. A promise that the company they are working with will be there, strong and solvent, decades from now to pay a claim, or help pay the bills for extended care. As a result, New York Life's management team has one overriding objective: to ensure that the right decisions are made today, so that New York Life can continue to meet its obligations to policyholders tomorrow and far into the future.

We've all seen the impact the Great Recession had on the financial services industry. Through it all, New York Life has thrived. In fact, we continue to receive the highest ratings for financial strength currently awarded to any U.S. life insurer from all four of the major credit rating agencies.
