Performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Due to current market volatility, current performance may be less or higher than the figures shown. The investment return and the accumulation value of your policy will fluctuate so that a policy, when surrendered, may be worth more or less than the original cost. For current to the most recent month-end performance information, call the New York Life Variable Products Service Center at 1-800-598-2019. Performance reflects the percentage change for the period shown with capital gains and dividends reinvested and includes an annualized separate account fee of 1.40%. A policy service fee is not included in these charges, but will be deducted each year on the policy anniversary and upon surrender if the accumulation value is less than $20,000. For the New York Life Variable Annuity this charge is the lesser of $30 or 2% of the accumulation value. For the New York Life Flexible Premium Variable Annuity this charge is $30. The performance shown, therefore, would be slightly lower if your policy's accumulation value is less than the $20,000. The Investment Divisions offered under the New York Life Variable Annuity and New York Life Flexible Premium Variable Annuity described herein are different from mutual funds that may have similar names but are available directly to the general public. Investment results may differ.
