Enhanced Standard Death Benefit

Our standard death benefit continues to pay the higher of the total amount invested or the account value at the time of death. As of May 1, 2020, new policies will include a one-time step up to account value (if higher than the existing death benefit) after the end of the original 7-year surrender period charge period, at no additional cost.

Expanded Investment Options.

For do-it-yourself investors, we've enhanced our robust platform of 60+ investment options to provide investors with a highly competitive and increasingly diverse lineup of underlying funds.

New Investment Options Asset Category Net Annual Expense
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I Main Street Small Cap Fund® Small Cap Blend 1.05%
MFS® Mid-Cap Value Portfolio Mid Cap Value 1.06%
PIMCO VIT Income Portfolio Multisector Bond 1.07%

The “Net Annual Expense” is the current expense and does not include fees that are waived/reimbursed. Please refer to the prospectus for the amount of the fee waiver and reimbursements and how they can affect the Net Annual Expense. Net Annual Expense is based on each portfolio's prospectus dated May 2020 and does not reflect insurance contract fees and expenses.

For investors who can benefit from one-step approach to diversification, we offer five new “fund of funds” portfolios exclusively designed & delivered by Legg Mason and its quantitative asset manager subsidiary, QS Investors, LLC.

New Plan Types

It is now possible for Premier to fund these plan types:

  • Inherited Non-Qualified allows non-spousal beneficiaries to 1035 exchange non-qualified death benefit proceeds into a new annuity and stretch distributions over their own lifetime to spread out the tax liability on the gain2.
  • Inherited Roth allows beneficiaries to exchange death benefit proceeds from a Roth IRA (that is at least 5 years old) into a new annuity and continue to accumulate tax free gain3.

For 175 years, New York Life has been helping individuals, families and businesses plan for the future with confidence. Let’s work together to better serve investors.
