[Narrator] Think of the last time you customized a purchase. Maybe you modified your bike for enhanced performance, tailored a jacket to a customized fit, or chose a vehicle with added features for protection for you and your passengers. No matter what it is you're buying, the chance to customize is an opportunity to help meet your needs. At Allianz Life Insurance Company of New York, we believe the same goes for your retirement assets. Wouldn't it be nice to apply a similar strategy as part of your retirement portfolio, one that can help address market uncertainty? Now you can. Along with tax deferral, a variable option, annuity payments, and a death benefit during the accumulation phase, Allianz Index Advantage+ New York Variable Annuity gives you the ability to customize different levels of protection and growth potential through the various index options available.
[On-screen disclosure] Withdrawals will reduce the contract value and the value of any potential protection benefits. Withdrawals taken with the contract withdrawal charge schedule will be subject to a withdrawal charge. All withdrawals are subject to ordinary income teax and, if taken prior to age 59½ may be subject to a 10% federal additional tax. [End of on-screen disclosure]
Each index option is the combination of an index strategy, also called a crediting method, an index, the term, which is the time period for measuring index performance, and a level of protection.
[On-screen disclosure] Index, term length, and level of protection availability may vary by index strategy. [End of on-screen disclosure]
And they all have a unique risk/return trade-off to help address market volatility in a way that makes sense for you: whether you're bullish or bearish on the market; and whether your tolerance for risk is low, high, or somewhere in the middle.
All of our index strategies offer a level of protection to help reduce losses in down markets. For all index strategies, if the index return is negative and exceeds the buffer, your performance credit will equal the amount of the negative returns in excess of the buffer. If you allocate to the Index Performance Strategy or the Index Precision Strategy and the index return is negative and within the buffer, your performance credit is 0%. Or, it can be positive, equal to the trigger rate, if you allocate to the Index Dual Precision Strategy.
[On-screen disclosure] Deductions for contract fees and charges may result in a loss of principal and previously applied performance credits. They also reduce the amount available to recieve fufture performance credits. You could experience a loss during a term if the index declines more than the downside protection of the buffer. You may not be able to fully recover from market losses due to limited upside potential in subsequent terms. Losses in excess of a specified buffer percentage will reduce your contract value. [End of on-screen disclosure]
Along with a level of protection, each index strategy provides growth potential. For the Index Performance Strategy, if the index return is 0% or positive, your performance credit equals the index return up to the cap, the index return multiplied by a participation rate if the index option is uncapped, or the trigger rate if you allocate to the Index Precision Strategy or Index Dual Precision Strategy.
[On-screen disclosure] Deductions for Contract fees and charges may result in a loss of principal and previously applied performance credits. They also reduce the amount available to recieve future performance credits. [End of on-screen disclosure]
If you are looking for additional flexibility, you can take advantage of our Performance Lock feature, which allows you to potentially capture gains and help limit losses.
[On-screen disclosure] Executing a Performance Lock or Early Reallocation may result in you receiving less than the Performance Credit you would have received had you not locked the Index Option. It is possible to lock in a negative return. We will not provide advice or notify you regarding whether you should execute a Performance Lock or Early Reallocation, the optimal time to do so, or if you execute a Performance Lock or Early Reallocation at a sub-optimal time. We are not responsible for any losses related to your decision whether or not to execute a Performance Lock or Early Reallocation. [End of on-screen disclosure]
There are two ways to execute a Performance Lock. The first is manual and the second is automatic, which is executed by setting upper and lower Performance Lock targets. Both can be done in your account on AllianzLife.com or through your financial professional with prior written authorization. By setting an upper target and a lower target, one of three things can happen. The upper target is reached, the lower target is reached, or no targets are reached.
[On-screen disclosure] A Performance Lock locks in the index option value as of market close on the lock date, which you will not know at the time you request a lock or a target is reached. The index option value available for review at the time you request a manual lock, or on the day a target is reached, can be significantly different than the locked value. For simplicity, this example shows the locked values being equal to the targets. However, it is likely the locked value will be above an upper target or below a lower target. [End of on-screen disclosure]
What happens after you execute a Performance Lock? Well, you can either stay locked until the index anniversary that occurs on or after the lock and begin a new term at that point, or you can get back in, also called early reallocation right away, or anytime before the index anniversary. Whenever you get back in the remainder of the index year in which you locked is added to your new term length.
[On-screen disclosure] Early Reallocation is not available within 14 days before an Index Anniversary, can only happen twice in an index ear, and 6-year term index options are not available as an Early Reallocation destination. This added time will not be reflected in the stated term length in your account or on your statements. Instead, this added time will be reflected in the time between the Term Start Date and Term End Date. You're no longer subject to external index returns, you won't participate in potential future gains or losses, and your locked index option will not receive a performance credit on this Index Anniversary. [End of on-screen disclosure]
Our Performance Lock feature has yielded time-tested, powerful results since inception with more than $216 million of gains locked in, over 45,000 executed locks, and an average 11.25% locked return.
[On-screen disclosure] The total number of Allianz Life Insurance Company of New York RILA contracts that applied the Performance Lock feature from 7/24/2014 to 12/31/2023 was 9,700. Of those contracts, there were 45,226 Performance Locks executed. The daily adjustment calculation varies by index option. Past performance is not an indication of future results.

Registered index-linked annuities (RILAs) provides indexed return potential with the opportunity for varying levels of protection through multiple index options available prior to receiving annuity payments, tax-deferred growth potential, a variety of annuity options, and a death benefit during the accumulation phase.
RILAs are subject to investment risk, including possible loss of principal. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate with market conditions so that units, upon distribution, may be worth more or less than the original cost.
Purchasing an annuity within a retirement plan that provides tax deferral under sections of the Internal Revenue Code results in no additional tax benefit. An annuity should be used to fund a qualified plan based upon the annuity’s features other than tax deferral. All annuity features, risks, limitations, and costs should be considered prior to purchasing an annuity within a tax-qualified retirement plan.
