Overview Of The Policy
Q.
What is this policy, and what is it designed to do?
A.
The New York Life
Premier Variable Annuity- FP Series is designed to assist individuals with their long-term retirement planning or other long-term needs through investments in a variety of Allocation Options during an accumulation (savings)
phase of the policy. The policy also offers death benefits to protect your designated beneficiaries. You can also elect to supplement your retirement income by converting your
Accumulation Value into a
stream of Income Payments (sometimes called annuity payments). This policy is only appropriate if you have a long investment time horizon. It is not intended for people who may need to make early or frequent withdrawals or
intend to engage in frequent trading in the Portfolios.
Q.
How do I accumulate assets in the policy and receive income from the policy?
A.
Your policy has two phases:
●
the savings (accumulation) phase, when you make premium payments to us, and
●
the annuity (income) phase, when we make Income Payments to you.
Accumulation (Savings) Phase
During the accumulation (savings) phase of the policy, you can invest your premium payments in:
●
a variety of Investment
Divisions (you may choose up to 18). Each Investment Division invests in a corresponding (mutual fund)
Portfolio, each of which has its own investment strategies, investment adviser(s), expense ratios, and returns.
●
a Fixed Account option, which offers a guaranteed fixed interest rate for one–year periods; and
●
a DCA Advantage
Account, which transfers amounts automatically to the Investment Divisions you choose in up to six monthly
increments and pays you interest on amounts remaining in the DCA Advantage Account.
Additional information about the Portfolios, the Fixed Account and the DCA Advantage Account is provided in Appendix 1A: Investment Options Available Under the Policy.
Annuity (Income)
Phase
You can elect to annuitize your policy and turn
your Accumulation Value into a fixed stream of Income Payments (sometimes called annuity payments) from
NYLIAC. If you do that, we will make payments over the life of the Annuitant(s) for 10 years, even if the Annuitant dies sooner. This is called the Life Income – Guaranteed Period Payment Option.
We may offer other options, at our discretion, where permitted by state law. We do not currently offer variable Income Payment options.
Please note that when you annuitize, your Accumulation Value will be
converted to Income Payments and you may no longer withdraw money at will from your policy. However, you may elect partial annuitization and apply a portion of your Accumulation Value towards one of the Income Payment options we may offer, while the remainder of the policy
can remain invested in your Allocation Options and will continue to provide the opportunity to accumulate Accumulation Value on a tax-deferred basis. All benefits (including
guaranteed minimum death benefits and living benefits) terminate when you annuitize your entire Accumulation Value.
Q.
What are the policy’s primary features and options?
Base Contract Charge (M&E Charge)
options. You can choose to have your Mortality and Expense Risk and Administrative Costs Charge (“M&E
Charge”) assessed based on either the Accumulation Value of the policy (which invests in Separate
Account III) or your Adjusted Premium Payments (which invests in Separate Account IV). You must choose your M&E Charge option at the time of application. The M&E
Charge assessed to your policy will be based on the option that you choose. Once the M&E Charge option is chosen it cannot be changed. For Accumulation Value-based M&E Charge policies, the M&E Charge is assessed based on the Accumulation Value of the
policy and will vary with fluctuations in the policy’s Accumulation Value. For Premium-based M&E Charge policies, the M&E Charge is assessed based on your Adjusted
Premium Payments and will not vary with
5
fluctuations in the
policy’s Accumulation Value. Please see “CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS—Annual Policy Expenses—Base Contract Charges (M&E Charge)” in the Prospectus for
more information.
The amount of Premium-based M&E Charges deducted from your Accumulation Value will be unaffected by fluctuations in
market performance. In a rising market, the Premium-based M&E Charge structure will benefit you because, when calculated as a percentage of separate account assets, the
Premium-based M&E Charge will be reduced. In a flat or declining market, the Premium-based M&E Charge will result in a higher charge when calculated as a percentage of separate account assets. The amount of Accumulation Value-based M&E Charges assessed to
your policy will be affected by fluctuations in market performance. However, the Accumulation Value-based M&E Charge structure may be more advantageous in a flat or declining
market.
Accessing your money. Until you annuitize (begin Income Payments), you have full access to your money. You
can choose to withdraw part or all of your Accumulation Value at any time (through partial withdrawals, periodic
partial withdrawals, hardship withdrawals or surrendering the policy). However, if you withdraw more than the
Surrender Charge Free Amount during the
Surrender Charge Period before age 59½, you may have to pay a surrender charge and/or taxes, including tax penalties (see “CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS—Transaction
Expenses—Exceptions to Surrender Charges” in the Prospectus).
Tax treatment. Your premium payments accumulate on a tax-deferred basis.
This means your earnings are not taxed until you take money out of your policy, such as when (1) you make a withdrawal; (2) you receive an Income Payment from the policy; or (3) upon payment of a death benefit.
Death benefits. Your policy includes a Standard Death Benefit. For policy owners who are age 80 or younger when the policy is issued, the Standard Death Benefit guarantees that your beneficiaries will receive the greater of: (i)
your Accumulation Value; (ii) the Return of Premium Death Benefit; or (iii) the Step–up Death Benefit. For policy owners age 81
to 85 when the policy is issued, the Standard Death Benefit guarantees that your beneficiaries will receive the greater of: (i) your Accumulation Value; or (ii) the Return of
Premium Death Benefit. For an additional fee, you can also purchase the ADBR or IPR - FP Series at the time of application. The ADBR or IPR - FP Series may increase the amount of money payable to your designated beneficiaries upon your death. (See
“DESCRIPTION OF BENEFITS – Annual Death Benefit Reset Rider and Investment Preservation Rider” in the Prospectus for more information about ADBR and IPR Death
Benefit calculations).
Optional benefits that occur during your lifetime. For an additional fee, you can purchase the Investment
Preservation Rider - FP Series at the time of application that protects your investment from declining market for a specified Holding Period.
Living Needs Benefit/Unemployment benefit. At no additional charge, we currently include a Living Needs Benefit/Unemployment Rider with all policies. This benefit
increases the amount that can be withdrawn from your policy without a surrender charge when certain qualifying events occur.
Automatic asset rebalancing and dollar cost
averaging. At no additional charge, you may select automatic asset rebalancing, which automatically rebalances
your value in the Investment Divisions to maintain your chosen percentage allocation. Also, at no additional charge, you may select either (i) traditional dollar cost averaging,
which automatically transfers a specific amount of money from any Investment Division to any combination of
Investment Divisions and/or Fixed Account at set intervals, or (ii) the DCA Advantage Account, which is an
Allocation Option that transfers amounts automatically to the Investment Divisions you choose in up to six monthly increments and pays you interest on amounts remaining in the account. (You may not elect traditional dollar cost averaging
if you have elected automatic asset rebalancing.)
Interest sweep. At no additional charge, you may select the interest sweep option which automatically
transfers interest earned on the Fixed Account to be transferred to one or any combination of Investment Divisions.
Electronic Delivery. You may elect to receive electronic delivery of current prospectuses related to this policy, as well as other
policy-related documents.

| Are There
Charges for Early
Withdrawals? |
Yes. If you withdraw more than the Surrender Charge Free Amount within 7 years following your last premium payment, you will be assessed a surrender charge. The maximum surrender charge is 8% of the amount withdrawn during the first Payment Year declining to 0% over that seven-year period. For example, if you make an early withdrawal within the first Payment Year, you could pay a surrender charge of up to $8,000 on a $100,000 investment. The withdrawal amount could be reduced by taxes or tax penalties. |

PRINCIPAL RISKS
OF INVESTING IN
THE POLICY |
| Is This a
Short-Term
Investment? |
No. This policy is not designed for short-term investing and is not appropriate for an investor who readily needs access to cash. Surrender charges apply for up to 7 years following your last premium payment. They will reduce the value of your policy if you withdraw money during that time. Withdrawals may also be subject to federal and state income taxes and tax penalties. The benefits of tax deferral and living benefit protections also mean the policy is more beneficial to investors with a long time horizon. If you elect the IPR - FP Series, you will not receive a benefit under the rider unless you hold the policy for at
least the specified Holding Period applicable to the rider. |

| Are There
Restrictions on
Policy Benefits? |
Yes. •Certain optional benefits limit or restrict the investment options you may select under the policy. We may change these restrictions in the future. •Certain optional benefits may limit withdrawals or other rights under
the policy. •Under certain benefits, a withdrawal could reduce the value of a benefit by more than the dollar amount of the withdrawal and/or could terminate the benefit. •You are required to have a minimum Accumulation Value for some optional benefits. •We may modify or discontinue an optional benefit at any time •Some optional benefits cannot be cancelled without surrendering your policy. •The amount of the death benefit available under certain optional
benefits may vary depending on the date of death. Certain optional
benefits may offer a lesser death benefit at issue and require that the
policy be held for a minimum waiting period before the greater
death benefit will be payable. If you die before the end of the
minimum waiting period, the death benefit will be less than the
greater death benefit available after the minimum waiting period.
Additionally, where there is a reset of certain optional benefit
riders, a new minimum waiting period will be required before the
greater death benefit will be payable. If you die before the end of
the new minimum waiting period, the death benefit may be less than
the greater death benefit available after the new minimum waiting
period. |

TAXES |

| What are the
Policy’s Tax
Implications? |
•Consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in, withdrawals from and surrenders of this policy. •If you purchase the policy through a tax–qualified plan or individual
retirement account (IRA), such plan or IRA already provides tax
deferral under the Code and there are fees and charges in an annuity
that may not be included in such other investments. Therefore, the
tax deferral of the policy does not provide additional
benefits. •Premiums that are made on a pre–tax basis as well as earnings on your policy are taxed at ordinary income tax rates when you withdraw them, and you may have to pay a 10% penalty tax if you take a withdrawal before age 59 ½. |

programs. The amount of compensation will vary depending on the
specific payment arrangements of the broker-dealer for whom your
registered representative works. This compensation may differ from the
compensation paid by other companies for sales of their

| Should I Exchange My Policy? |
Your registered representatives may have a financial incentive to offer you a new policy in place of the one you own. You should consider exchanging your policy if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, risks of both policies, and any fees or penalties to terminate the existing policy, that it is in your best interest to purchase the new policy
rather than continue to own your existing policy. |

Buying The Policy
Q.
How do I purchase the New York Life Premier Variable Annuity – FP Series
policy?
A.
To purchase a policy,
you must complete an application. Your registered representative will submit your application, along with your initial premium payment, to us. Acceptance of applications is subject
to NYLIAC’s rules.
We reserve the right to reject any application or initial premium payment.
Q.
How much can I contribute and how are my premium payments
invested?
A.
You may allocate
premium payments in up to 18 of the available Investment Divisions, the DCA Advantage Account, and the Fixed Account.
The minimum initial premium payment is $5,000, unless we permit otherwise.
You may make additional premium payments of at least $2,500 for Qualified Policies and $5,000 for Non–Qualified Policies, or such
lower amount as we may permit at any time. Additional premium payments can be made until 12 months after you reach age 85. The currently available methods of payment are direct payments to NYLIAC or any other method agreed to by us. The maximum
aggregate amount of premium payments we accept is $1,000,000 without prior approval from NYLIAC. NYLIAC reserves the right to limit the dollar amount of any premium payment. You
must allocate a minimum of $2,000 to the DCA Advantage Account.
17
For Qualified Policies, you may
not make premium payments in any Policy Year that exceed the amount permitted by the plan or applicable law. For Inherited IRAs, Inherited Roth IRAs and Inherited Non–Qualified policies,
additional premium payments are not permitted.
While IPR is in effect, you may only make premium
payments to your policy in the first Policy Year or after the Holding Period End Date, as applicable.

Q.
When will any premium payments that I make be credited to my
account?
A.
If the application is
in Good Order, we will issue the policy and allocate the initial premium payment to the Allocation Options you have selected within two
Business Days after we receive it. If your application is not in Good Order, or if you do not give us complete instructions about how to allocate your premium payment among the Allocation
Options, we may delay issuing your policy and crediting your account while we obtain the missing information. However, we will not hold your initial purchase payment for more than
five Business Days without your permission.
Subsequent premium payments should be sent to one of the following
addresses:

Attn: LOCKBOX #7390 Newark, DE 19711 |
Subsequent premium payments will be allocated to your policy at the close of the Business
Day on which they are received by NYLIAC. We will apply any subsequent premium payments according to the
allocation instructions we have on file at the time of the premium payment.
Acceptance of initial and subsequent premium payments is subject to our sales standards that are used to determine whether a recommended transaction, relating to your policy, complies with applicable standards of conduct.
Making Withdrawals: Accessing Money In Your Policy
Q.
Can I access the money in my account during the Accumulation (Savings)
Phase?
A.
During the accumulation
(savings) phase of your policy, you have full access to your money. You can choose to withdraw your
Accumulation Value at any time (although if you withdraw amounts early, you may have to pay a surrender charge and/or taxes, including tax penalties).
You can access the money in your policy by making a withdrawal, which will reduce the Accumulation Value of your policy (including the amount of your death benefit). However, withdrawing the Accumulation Value of your policy below a certain level will terminate your policy.
Certain benefits may limit withdrawals under the policy. Certain withdrawals could substantially reduce the benefits available under the policy or a rider (possibly by an amount greater than the actual amount withdrawn) or even terminate certain benefits.

18
Q.
Are there limitations and consequences associated with taking money out of my policy during the Accumulation (Savings) Phase?
A.
Yes. These limitations and consequences include:
| Limitations on withdrawal amounts |
The minimum amount you can withdraw is $500,
unless we agree otherwise. Currently, online
withdrawals cannot exceed $250,000. If you request a
withdrawal for amounts greater than $50,000 in writing
we may require additional verification of your identity. |
| Surrender charges and taxes |
As described above, there may be surrender charges
and tax consequences when you take out money. |
| Negative impact of withdrawal on benefits and
guarantees of your policy |
A withdrawal may have a negative impact on certain standard benefits or optional benefits that you may elect. It may significantly reduce the value of the benefit (possibly by an amount greater than the actual amount withdrawn) or even terminate certain benefits. A withdrawal may also be a taxable transaction and a 10% penalty tax could be applicable. |
Q.
What is the process to request a withdrawal of money from my
policy?
A.
You can request to
withdraw a portion of your Accumulation Value or surrender your policy in full at any time before the Annuity
Commencement Date and while the Annuitant
is living. If you want to surrender your policy, you can either contact your Registered Representative, contact us at 1-800-762-6212 or send us a written request in Good Order at one of the below addresses. If you only want to withdraw a portion of your Accumulation Value, you can either request a partial withdrawal by contacting your Registered Representative, online at
www.newyorklifeannuities.com, by telephone at 1-800-762-6212, or by sending us a written request Good Order at one of the following addresses:

Newark, DE 19711 |
Generally, withdrawal or surrender requests received in Good Order before
the end of the Business Day will be
processed that day. If we receive your request after the close of the Business Day, or on a day that is not a
Business Day, your requested payment will be processed the next Business Day. Generally, NYLIAC will pay all
surrenders or withdrawals within seven days of receipt of all required information in Good
Order.
Q.
Can I access the money in my account during the Annuity (Income)
Phase?
A.
You can elect to
annuitize your policy and turn your Accumulation Value into a fixed stream of Income Payments
(sometimes called annuity payments) from NYLIAC. If you do that, payments will be made over the life of the
Annuitant(s) and are guaranteed for 10 years, even if the Annuitant dies sooner. This is called the Life Income – Guaranteed Period Payment Option.
We may offer other options at our discretion. Once you annuitize, your Accumulation Value will be converted to Income Payments and you may no longer withdraw money at will from
your policy.
You may, however, elect partial annuitization and apply a portion of your
Accumulation Value towards one of the Income Payment options we may offer, while the remainder of your Accumulation Value can remain invested in your Allocation Options and will continue to provide
the opportunity to accumulate Accumulations Value on a tax-deferred basis. All benefits (including guaranteed minimum death benefits and living benefits) terminate when you annuitize your entire Accumulation Value.

Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of
investing in the Investment Divisions of the policy with the cost of investing in other annuity contracts that offer variable options. These costs include transaction expenses, annual policy expenses and Annual Portfolio Expenses.
This Example assumes all Accumulation Value is allocated to the Investment Divisions. Your costs could differ from those shown below if you invest in the Fixed Account or the DCA Advantage Account.
The Example assumes that you invest $100,000 in the
Investment Divisions for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, and assumes the most expensive
combination of Base Contract Charges, Annual Portfolio Expenses and optional benefits available for an additional charge.*
