NYLAZ is not authorized in New York or Maine and does not conduct insurance business in New York or Maine. Policyholders may request a copy of the audited statutory financial statements applicable to their respective companies, New York Life’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and the detailed reconciliation of the company’s GAAP financial statements to its non-GAAP performance measure (i.e., Operating Earnings) by contacting the Secretary of the parent, New York Life Insurance Company, 51 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10010.

We understand that the work we do has purpose; it affects not only the lives of the people who have placed their trust with us, but arguably generations of their family members who will follow them. That’s why we continue to hold ourselves to the highest standards to ensure we measure up to what anyone rightfully should expect from their life insurer. As we move into 2014, there are many reasons to be cautiously optimistic about the path of our nation’s economy. The equity market had a very strong advance in 2013; interest rates, while still very low from a historical perspective, recorded a marked rise during the past year; unemployment declined to a five-year low; the housing market has been stabilizing; and in a sign of confidence that the economy is indeed regaining its strength, shortly

the Federal Reserve announced its intention to begin scaling back on its massive stimulus program.

Concerns remain, such as the near-term possibility of an equity market correction, or more fundamentally, the fact that much of the improvement in our unemployment numbers has been driven by people who have stopped looking for work. Moreover, our federal government has not taken any material action to address our long-term debt situation, and we appear positioned for a continued stretch of political motivations trumping sound policy decisions.

Yet, a feeling of optimism is starting to take root. Perhaps we are

adjusting to the ongoing uncertainty in the markets and the continued inaction of our political leaders. Or perhaps we are collectively deciding

A message from

Ted Mathas

Theodore Roosevelt once said, “The best prize life

has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth

doing.” That’s a notion that I’m proud to say resonates

with everyone in our organization.

“ For nearly 170 years, we have built our business

around bringing certainty and security to our

customers in good times and bad. No one can

predict the future, but we’ve made it our business

to plan and prepare for whatever it may hold.”

forward—more than five years after the start of the Great Recession. In any case, regardless of its source, a sense of confidence is essential to our prosperity. Of course, this ultimately must be grounded in individual action and accountability, but we are long overdue for a return of the optimism and collective pride that remain at the heart of the American success story.

For nearly 170 years, we have built our business around bringing certainty and security to our customers in good times and bad. No one can predict the future, but we’ve made it our business to plan and prepare for whatever it may hold. We recognize that no matter what is happening

in the world around us, life goes on. And we are here to help people at every stage: life insurance to protect against the unexpected; mutual funds and annuities to help pay for college tuition, or prepare for a comfortable retirement; and long-term care insurance to help pay for nursing care in the event of a disability or chronic illness.

Our undisputed financial strength anchors our ability to live up to the guarantees and promises we make. In the years since the onset of the financial crisis, New York Life has consistently delivered strong results despite unparalleled economic headwinds. And I’m pleased to report the momentum continued in 2013.

The details of our financial

performance can be found on pages 7–9 in this Report and online at www.newyorklife.com. By any measure, the past year is one we feel very good about. Sales were up across the board; operating earnings, or profits, grew by 11 percent; and surplus, the money over and above the reserves we set aside to pay the benefits we offer, stood at more than $21 billion* at year-end—an all-time record. Contributions to our success are coming from every corner of the company. The heart of our organization has been, and always will be, our core life insurance operation and our team of career

Agents who have led the United States in MDRT° membership for 59 consecutive years. We are also the #1 direct marketer of life insurance in America,** as well as one of the premier providers of life insurance to large professional associations. And our subsidiary, Seguros Monterrey New York Life, remains one of the top life insurance companies in Mexico. The size and strength of our insurance business is the reason why, out of roughly 900 companies selling life insurance in the United States today, not one has a higher rating for financial strength from A.M. Best, Fitch, Moody’s, or Standard & Poor’s than we do.†

While our combined insurance businesses form the foundation of the company, no other area of the organization is growing more rapidly than our investments operations. This is not happening by chance. During the past few years, we have made a concerted effort to extend beyond our insurance foundation by

growing our mutual funds and asset management businesses. The array of products we offer provides our customers with additional solutions for their financial planning needs. And we’re seeing great results. We remain the predominant provider of guaranteed lifetime income annuities in the United States.‡ _And

mutual fund sales, which have been growing steadily, nearly doubled this year, reflecting both strong flows across the MainStay Funds family and the addition of a few new funds to our portfolio.

The contributions from our

investments operations ultimately generate additional surplus and enhance our financial strength—and that is something that benefits all our policyholders. As a mutual life insurer, we have no shareholders. Policyholders are our priority. And every dollar we create within our organization is put to use with them in mind, which includes our annual dividend payout for eligible policies.

As I’ve discussed in this Report for the past several years, no economic factor has a greater effect on life insurance companies than the level of interest rates. It affects our dividends, crediting rates, and earnings. While rates have been slowly rising this past year, they still remain well below their long-term average.

Regardless of the economic climate, when it comes to dividends, we always aim to provide the largest payout we can while ensuring our continued financial strength that backs the benefits we’ve promised. Upon reviewing our operating performance this past year, and taking into consideration the additional capital we generated on the company’s equity investments, our Board of Directors agreed to approve a raise to the dividend scale again this year. The total payout for 2014 will exceed $1.4 billion—an increase of more than $100 million over last year. And I’m very proud to say that we are the only major

mutual U.S. life insurance company to increase both its dividend scale and its total dividend payout in both 2013 and 2014.***

From an operational and strategic standpoint, we could point to any number of factors as reasons why New York Life remains at the top of the life insurance industry. But in reality, strategies, products, marketing, and other business operations can be copied or

replicated by others. What I believe truly separates us from others is our perspective on, and approach to, the business we’re in.

That perspective and approach begins at the top with the members of the New York Life Board of Directors. In 2013, we regretfully bade farewell to Mr. Conrad K. Harper after more than 15 years of exemplary service to New York Life. Conrad began his career as an attorney for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, where he successfully argued a number of landmark civil rights cases. He later became a partner at Simpson, Thacher & Bartlett, and remained

Of Counsel to that firm following his retirement in 2002. His thoughtful insights and commitment to our customers further strengthened the high standards we hold for our entire organization.

At the same time, we were pleased to also welcome a new Director this past year: Ms. Michele G. Buck, president, North America of The Hershey Company. I know I speak for the other members in saying that Michele’s wealth of marketing and management experience makes her a valuable addition to our Board.

The members of our Board and every Agent and employee who works at the company share the same goal: ensuring that New York Life will be here to pay the benefit we promise whenever it comes due. That moment is, and always will be, the essence of what our business is all about. And when you visit newyorklife.com, you will find just a small sampling of stories that play out every day in the words of our customers and Agents. I want to personally thank them for taking the

time to share their experiences, and, in turn, allowing us to share them with others.

We hope our performance in 2013 makes people feel confident about doing business with New York Life. What we do each year isn’t about having a bigger slice of the pie in the short term; it is always about growing the size of the pie for all our customers in the years ahead. Our job—every single day—is to help them remain optimistic and feel good about their future and the future of those they care about most. Sincerely,

Ted Mathas

Policyholder Benefits and Dividends

Through economic ups and downs, life insurance is a product that has withstood the test of time; it continues to have a place in virtually every prudent financial plan. For nearly 170 years, life insurance also has been the foundation of New York Life’s business. And as a mutual company with no shareholders, our primary objective is to invest and manage the dollars we’re paid to generate strong, stable returns to back the promises we make to those who have placed their trust in us.

The consistent growth in our individual life insurance in force means more people like you are turning to us each year for financial security and peace of mind. And the growth in our assets under management is primarily driven by the fact that, in the wake of the financial crisis, an increasing number of retail and institutional customers believe in our long-term investment management philosophy and want our assistance in growing their assets, regardless of what is happening in the world around us.

Surplus and Asset Valuation Reserve

Operating Earnings

Surplus in a mutual company can be used in one of three ways, all of which ultimately benefit our current and future customers: 1) to further enhance our financial strength and ensure we can meet our obligations, regardless of what the future may hold; 2) to further grow our various business operations; or 3) to be distributed as a dividend to the owners of eligible policies.

For policyholders, surplus is the most important financial measure—it is the primary indicator of the strength of your life insurer.

When the financial crisis hit in 2008, many companies struggled to come up with

the capital needed to keep operations running—with some even requiring a taxpayer-funded bailout. At New York Life, our surplus cushioned the impact on us and helped preserve the company’s top ratings for financial strength. And in the five years that followed, we initiated some important strategic decisions that enabled us to simultaneously grow on all three sides of the surplus triangle. The result? Since 2009, surplus has grown over $6 billion. New York Life continues to grow in size and reach. And in 2013 and 2014, we have been the only major mutual U.S. life insurance company to increase both its dividend scale and total dividend payout to eligible policyholders.

“ For policyholders, surplus is the most important

Our growth in insurance in force and assets under management—along with the investment returns we generate— drive our strong earnings and the growth in surplus and asset valuation reserve.

Surplus is an additional source of capital above and beyond the money already set aside to pay each and every benefit we’ve promised.

Despite the recent economic challenges, our track record of strong insurance

and investments sales each year not only continues to fuel the company’s growth— it’s a sign that more people are following your lead and turning to New York Life for assistance. And no matter what products you may already own, our Agents and advisors stand ready with the solutions you need to help you achieve your objectives at every stage of your life.

Cash and Invested Assets

As of December 31, 2013, New York Life and its domestic insurance subsidiaries had cash and invested assets of $187.8 billion and maintained a well-diversified investment portfolio.

The following investment review presents information for New York Life Insurance

Company and its domestic insurance subsidiaries, New York Life Insurance and Annuity

Corporation and NYLIFE Insurance Company of Arizona. The assets of these entities

represent most of the invested assets of the company. The cash and invested asset

information below is presented on a statutory accounting basis.

Sound principles and strict standards guide New York Life’s management of its investment

portfolio. This includes conducting our own traditional, bottom-up research on individual

investments and the underwriting of credit risk, rather than relying on third-party credit

ratings. The company maintains strict diversification standards by asset classes, issuers,

and sectors, and continues to hold ample liquidity in its investment portfolio.

Fixed Income Assets

The fixed income portfolio continues to be dominated by high-quality investments, with 93 percent being investment grade. The public and private corporate bond and loan portfolio remains well diversified across the broad industry spectrum and is comprised of securities issued by more than 2,290 individual issuers. The fixed income portfolio is managed to limit exposure to individual issuers according to credit quality and other factors. No single corporate exposure was greater than $320 million. The portfolio’s 10 largest holdings by issuer represented 1.4 percent of cash and invested assets.

The $20.5 billion mortgage loans portfolio consists of $20.3 billion of loans on commercial real estate properties and $0.2 billion of loans on single-family residential properties as of year-end 2013.

Commercial Mortgage Loans

The company’s mortgage loan investment style emphasizes conservative underwriting and a focus on high-quality

properties. The commercial mortgage loan portfolio is broadly diversified by both property type and geographic location. The company employs a proactive portfolio monitoring program with a goal of early identification of potential problems. The commercial mortgage loan portfolio has historically performed very well, and the company believes that the portfolio is strongly positioned in the current economic environment. As of December 31, 2013, none of the commercial mortgage loans were delinquent, and there were no foreclosures during the year.

Single-Family Residential Loans

In addition to the non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities highlighted earlier, New York Life and its domestic insurance subsidiaries owned $0.2 billion† _{in fixed-rate}

Equity and Other Interests

New York Life and its domestic insurance subsidiaries had $13.4 billion of assets classified as equity and other interests as of year-end 2013. Of this amount, $3.7 billion represented limited partnerships and other interests invested in diverse sectors of the economy. Private equity investments of $3.7 billion primarily represent leveraged buyout funds in a range of vintage years that are managed by various third-party private equity groups. Allocations to private equity provide an opportunity to exceed the returns of public equities over the long term. The public equity portfolio of $2.6 billion consists primarily of high dividend yielding stocks diversified across various companies, sectors, and regions. Investments in affiliates consist of the company’s investment management and insurance operating subsidiaries. Real estate investments of $1.4 billion represent direct and indirect wholly owned properties.

Derivatives

As of year-end 2013, New York Life and its domestic insurance subsidiaries had certain outstanding derivative positions carried as assets of $1,006 million.Offsetting these were derivative liabilities of $789 million for a net asset of $217 million.

The derivative transactions are entered into to meet the hedging needs of the company or to replicate permissible investments. Derivatives include the purchase of cross currency swaps, forward agreements, and interest rate swaps and options. Cross currency swaps and forward agreements are typically entered into to convert assets or liabilities of the company that are designated in a foreign currency into U.S. dollars. Interest rate swaps are used to lock in yields of future investments, and to convert fixed-rate investments to floating-rate investments in support of floating-rate liabilities. Interest rate options are used to protect against a spike in interest rates. New York Life and its domestic insurance subsidiaries control over-the-counter derivative counterparty credit risk through the establishment of collateral support agreements. These agreements require the daily posting of cash collateral by the derivative counterparties if and when the market value of derivative positions with the counterparty exceeds a predetermined dollar limit, which in most cases is zero. These dollar limits are intentionally set at a low threshold. Credit exposure to each derivative counterparty is combined with other direct credit risk to the same counterparty and managed against prudent credit risk limits. To further enhance the safety of derivatives strategies, and as mandated under the Dodd Frank law, the counterparty for all new interest rate swaps is a central clearinghouse.

Asset/Liability and Investment Risk Management

The long-term promises New York Life makes to policyholders are backed by sound asset/liability management. Because the company’s liabilities are generally fixed income-like in nature, a well diversified fixed income portfolio forms the foundation of the investment portfolio. Although the General Account assets collectively support all of our product lines, New York Life’s approach to asset/liability management is founded on the segregation of assets supporting various products offered to clients. These portfolios are specifically tailored to fit the unique interest rate sensitivities and cash flow characteristics associated with each of these product segments. In addition, New York Life takes a comprehensive enterprise view, taking measures to mitigate overall risk exposures at the corporate level. New York Life has established policies and procedures at the corporate and business unit levels to manage risk exposures. The Investment Committee of the Board of Directors provides oversight over New York Life’s investment activity, including review of various risk factors and establishment of investment policies. New York Life supplements our financial modeling with comprehensive stress testing, which is intended to assess the company’s financial resilience and sustainability of our business model to extreme events. The stress testing results lead to the implementation of risk mitigation strategies and contingency planning, both key to ensuring the long-term financial strength of the company.

Management’s Discussion

of Financial Responsibility

Management is responsible for the preparation and

integrity of the financial information presented in the Annual Report. The company has complied with the NAIC Model Audit Rule and although we are not an SEC registrant, we have elected to comply voluntarily with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which identifies management’s responsibilities over its financial statements and requires management to certify as to the integrity of the financial statements and the effectiveness of internal controls. Our statement to that effect can be viewed on the company’s website, www.newyorklife.com.

The financial information contained in this Report has been derived from financial statements that have been audited by

the company’s independent auditors, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.

We support strong and effective corporate governance from our Board of Directors, continuously review our

business results and strategic choices, and focus on financial stewardship. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of New York Life Insurance Company, which is comprised exclusively of directors who are not officers or employees of the company, meets regularly with management, the internal auditors, and the independent auditors to provide oversight of management’s fulfillment of its responsibilities for accounting controls and preparation of financial statements.

Chairman of the Board, President and

John T. Fleurant

As families grow, careers take unexpected turns, and priorities change, it’s nice to know that

you’ve got a partner who’s here to help.

Meeting with your Agent for an annual review is a great opportunity to determine if you still have the best strategy in place or if you could benefit from an update to your protection or overall financial strategy.

All the way from your first job to welcoming your great grandchildren, wherever life takes you, we’ll be by your side with solutions and guidance to help you keep the good in your life going.

Starting out.

Getting started on the right foot doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. There are insurance, annuity, and investment options that can help you lay the foundation of a smart financial strategy no matter what your goal or budget may be.

Growing along the way.

As careers mature and families get bigger, priorities often change—and so do your protection and financial needs. Your Agent can help you reassess your approach and determine the best way forward, like converting a term policy or purchasing an annuity. Whether you want to put four kids through college, pay off your mortgage, or retire early, we can help you find the right solution to turn your goals into realities.

Enjoying what

you’ve accomplished.

Longer, healthier lives mean more time to enjoy a vibrant and active retirement. So whether you’re embarking on an exciting new chapter or just taking some well-deserved time for yourself, you can rest assured that New York Life will be there, just as we’ve always been.

Leaving a legacy

to build on.

And when you’re ready to think about what you’ll pass on to your loved ones, plan for your long-term care needs, or consider leaving your mark with a charitable gift to a worthy cause or favorite organization, your Agent can give you proper guidance to help you make the best decision for your situation.

You’ve got dreams

and responsibilities.

We’re here for both.

It comes down to

one word: trust.

Working with a New York Life Agent gives you the opportunity to discuss your needs and concerns with someone who values you as a person, not just a phone call or policy/account number. Our Agents build relationships, often spanning decades and even generations.

They’re more than just highly trained financial professionals; they’re local business leaders, volunteers, coaches, and neighbors, just like you. It’s this connection to their communities that is the key to their success.

Agents who are

here to help.

As a mutual company, New York Life issues no stock, and is not beholden to stockholders or outside investors. Mutuality means that the only constituency we serve is you. This gives us the freedom to focus on the longstanding needs of our policyholders rather than the often shortsighted demands of Wall Street. Another feature of mutuality is our ability to pay dividends. In 2014, our dividend

payout to participating policyholders will rise by 8% for the second consecutive year—a $108 million increase over the previous year, for a total payout of $1.43 billion.



For 160 consecutive years,

New York Life has paid

dividends to participating

policyholders.

Mutuality makes

all the difference.

Taking responsibility

for our communities.

Whether it’s providing relief to the victims of Hurricane Sandy or helping grieving children recover, few things are more important than giving—financial support or volunteer time—to make our communities stronger and better places to live.

Since its inception, the New York Life Foundation has awarded nearly $185 million to charities and causes that

share our commitment to building a better tomorrow. Together, the efforts of the Foundation and our Corporate Responsibility department are centered on a simple theme: making good happen.

“ ...the efforts are centered on

a simple theme: making

good happen.”

When you’re preparing for the future, it’s important to know you’re working with people

who have a proven record of being there when they’re needed most. New York Life’s

guiding principles, strong surplus, commitment to mutuality, and career Agents have

served policyholders well for nearly 170 years.



Financial strength, integrity,

humanity: timeless principles

for today and tomorrow.

Strength and agility: nice

to have in your corner.

Our success is built on relationships that last a lifetime. That’s why we are always looking ahead and making decisions and investments that are built for long-term performance rather than short-term gain.
