Right now, the world has never seemed more uncertain. The COVID-19 pandemic has plunged us all into uncharted territory – challenging our health, our livelihoods, our economies, and our social structures.
None of us know exactly what’s coming next. For anyone planning their financial future, it’s essential to choose a partner that’s successfully weathered what’s come before.
Commitment built on experience
New York Life has been successfully navigating the unexpected for 175 years.
From the yellow fever epidemics of the 19th century to the great pandemic of 1918, two world wars, the Great Depression, and the Financial Crisis of 2008-09, we’ve steered our customers through some of the toughest times in history – and we’re well-positioned to do so again.
We can promise to be here for all our policy owners and customers in these challenging times and the years ahead because of who we are and what we offer:
Built for times like these
During the global financial crisis in 2008, New York Life Chairman and CEO Ted Mathas said, “We were built for times like these.” Our ability to weather the economic impact of that event was grounded in our prudent business strategy.
Today, New York Life –stands as secure and resilient as we have for generations. Our mutuality, without the distraction of outside shareholders, allows us to maintain a long-term view and stay rooted in our core values of financial strength, humanity and integrity. With a strong capital position, ample financial surplus, and one of the industry’s most diversified business and investment portfolios, we will continue to be there for our policy owners and customers, whatever lies ahead.
New York Life is, indeed, built for times like these.
