New York Life - An Impressive History

In 1965, New York Life Insurance Company issued a whole life policy for $25,000 to a male age 35 with an annual premium of $582. This policyowner has received a dividend every year since 1967. For 26 consecutive years, the annual dividend has exceeded the annual premium.

New York Life has paid dividends to its participating policyowners for 156 successive years — since the mid-1800’s. Our history of financial strength and stability has propelled our company through dynamic social, political and economic times.
