Glossary
This prospectus is written in plain English. However, there are some technical words or terms that are capitalized and are used as defined terms throughout the prospectus. For your convenience, we included this glossary to define these terms.

NOTE: Cross references in this Updating
Summary Prospectus are to the sections of the Statutory Prospectus
where you can find more detailed information.
|
Accumulation Phase – the first phase of your
Contract before you request Annuity Payments. The Accumulation Phase begins on the Issue Date.
Annuity Phase – the phase the Contract is in
once Annuity Payments begin.
Buffer – for each Index Option, this is the
negative Index Return that we absorb over the duration of a Term (which can be either one, three, or six years) before applying a negative Performance Credit.
We do not apply the Buffer annually on
a 3-year or 6-year Term Index Option. The Index Dual Precision Strategy and Index Precision Strategy Buffers are 10%, and Index Performance Strategy Buffers are either 10%, 20%, or 30%. Buffers do not change.
Business Day – each day on which the New York
Stock Exchange is open for trading. Allianz Life of New York is open for business on each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open. Our Business Day ends
when regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange closes, which is usually at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
Cap – for any Index Option with the Index
Performance Strategy, this is the upper limit on positive Index performance after application of any Participation Rate over the duration of a Term (which can
be either one, three, or six years) and the maximum potential Performance Credit for an Index Option. We do not apply the Cap annually on a 3-year or 6-year Term Index Option. On each Term Start Date, we set a Cap for each available Index Option. The Caps applicable to your Contract are shown on the Index Options Statement.
Contract – the individual flexible purchase
payment index-linked and variable deferred annuity contract described by this prospectus. The Contract may also be referred to as a registered index-linked
annuity, or “RILA”.
Contract Anniversary – a twelve-month
anniversary of the Issue Date or any subsequent Contract Anniversary.
Contract Value – the current value of the
Purchase Payments you invest. On any Business Day, your Contract Value is the sum of your Index Option Value(s) and Variable Account Value. Variable Account
Value fluctuates each Business Day that money is held in the Variable Option. Index Option Value is increased or decreased on each Term End Date to reflect Performance Credits, which can be negative. A negative Performance Credit
means that you can lose principal and previous earnings. The
Index Option Values also reflect the Daily Adjustment on every Business Day other than the Term Start Date or Term End Date. All withdrawals you take reduce
Contract Value dollar for dollar, even Penalty-Free Withdrawals, and financial adviser fees that you choose to have us pay from this Contract. Contract Value is
also reduced dollar for dollar for deductions we make for Contract fees and expenses. However, Contract Value does not reflect future fees and expenses we would apply on surrender. The Cash Value reflects all Contract fees and expenses we would apply on surrender (including any withdrawal charge).
Contract Year – any period of twelve months
beginning on the Issue Date or a subsequent Contract Anniversary.
Daily Adjustment – how we calculate Index
Option Values on days other than the Term Start Date or Term End Date as discussed in section 7, Expenses and Adjustments – Daily Adjustment; and Appendix C.
The Daily Adjustment approximates the Index Option Value that will be available on the Term End Date. It is the estimated present value of the future Performance Credit that we will apply on the Term End Date.
Early Reallocation – a feature that allows you
to move assets out of the Variable Option on days other than an Index Anniversary, and/or from locked Index Options on days other than a Term End Date. The
Index Performance Strategy 6-year Term Index Options are not available as a destination for Early Reallocation, but they can be a source.
Financial Professional – the person who advises
you regarding the Contract.
Fund – the AZL Government Money Market Fund,
the underlying fund in which the Variable Option invests.
Good Order – a request is in “Good Order” if it
contains all of the information we require to process the request. If we require information to be provided in writing, “Good Order” also includes providing
information on the correct form, with any required certifications, guarantees and/or signatures, and received at our Service Center after delivery to the
correct

mailing, email, or website address, which are all listed at the back of this prospectus. If you have questions about the information we require, or whether you can submit certain information by fax, email or over the web, please contact our Service Center. If you send information by email or upload it to our website, we send you a confirmation number that includes the date and
time we received your information.
Guaranteed Death Benefit Value – the guaranteed
value that is available to your Beneficiary(ies) on the first death of any Determining Life during the Accumulation Phase. The Guaranteed Death Benefit Value is
total Purchase Payments reduced proportionately for withdrawals you take (including any withdrawal charge). All withdrawals you take reduce the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value, even Penalty-Free Withdrawals, and any financial adviser fees that you choose to have us pay from this Contract. However, we do not reduce the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value for deductions we make for Contract
fees and expenses.
Index (Indexes) – one (or more) of the
nationally recognized third-party broad based equity securities price return Indexes available to you under your Contract as described in Appendix B.
Index Anniversary – a twelve-month anniversary
of the Index Effective Date or any subsequent Index Anniversary.
Index Dual Precision Strategy – one of the
Crediting Methods described in section 4, Index Options. The Index Dual Precision Strategy calculates Performance Credits based on Index Returns subject to a
Trigger Rate and 10% Buffer. This Crediting Method provides a positive Performance Credit for negative market movements when the loss is less than or equal to the 10% Buffer. However, you can still receive negative Performance Credits under this Crediting Method when the Index Return is negative and extends beyond the Buffer, which means you can lose principal and previous earnings. Significant losses
beyond the 10% Buffer for the Index Dual Precision Strategy can result in substantial loss of principal and previous earnings.
Index Effective Date – the first day we
allocate assets to an Index Option. The Index Effective Date is stated on the Index Options Statement and starts the first Index Year. When you purchase this
Contract you select the Index Effective Date as discussed in section 3, Purchasing the Contract – Allocation of Purchase Payments and Contract Value Transfers.
Index Option(s) – the index-linked investments
available to you under the Contract. Each Index Option is the combination of an Index, a Crediting Method, a Term length, and a Buffer amount.
Index Option Base – an amount we use to
calculate Performance Credits and the Daily Adjustment. The Index Option Base is initially equal to the amounts you allocate to an Index Option. We reduce the
Index Option Base proportionately for withdrawals you take and any financial adviser fees that you choose to have us pay from this Contract (including any withdrawal charge), and deductions we make for Contract fees and expenses. We increase/decrease it by the dollar amount of additional Purchase Payments allocated to the Index Option, transfers into or out of the Index Option, and any Performance
Credits.
Index Option Value – on any Business Day, it is
equal to the portion of your Contract Value in a particular Index Option. We establish an Index Option Value for each Index Option you select. Each Index Option
Value includes any Performance Credits from previous Term End Dates and reflects proportional reductions for previous partial withdrawals you take and any financial adviser fees that you choose to have us pay from this Contract (including any withdrawal charge), and previous deductions we made for Contract fees and expenses. On each Business Day, other than the Term Start Date or Term End Date, the
Index Option Values also include an increase/decrease from the Daily Adjustment.
Index Performance Strategy – one of the
Crediting Methods described in section 4, Index Options. This Crediting Method offers 1-year, 3-year, and 6-year Terms. The Index Performance Strategy
calculates Performance Credits based on Index Returns subject to any applicable Participation Rate, Cap, and a 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer. You can receive negative
Performance Credits under this Crediting Method, which means you can lose principal and previous earnings.
Index Precision Strategy – one of the Crediting
Methods described in section 4, Index Options. The Index Precision Strategy calculates Performance Credits based on Index Values and Index Returns subject to
the Trigger Rate and 10% Buffer. You can receive negative Performance Credits under this Crediting Method, which means you can lose principal and previous earnings.
Index Return – the percentage change in Index
Value from the Term Start Date to the Term End Date, which we use to determine the Performance Credits. The Index Return is the Index Value on the Term End
Date, minus the Index Value on the Term Start Date, divided by the Index Value on the Term Start Date. This method of calculation is also referred to as “point-to-point”.
Index Year – a twelve-month period beginning on
the Index Effective Date or a subsequent Index Anniversary.

Investment Options – the
Index Options and Variable Option available under the Contract. In your Contract, Investment Options are called "Allocation Options".
Issue Date – the date we issue the Contract.
The Issue Date is stated in your Contract and starts your first Contract Year. Contract Anniversaries and Contract Years are measured from the Issue Date.
Non-Qualified Contract – a Contract that is not
a Qualified Contract.
Owner – “you,” “your” and “yours.” The
person(s) or entity designated at Contract issue and named in the Contract who may exercise all rights granted by the Contract.
Participation Rate – a percentage that is
multiplied by any positive Index Return over the course of a Term in calculating the Performance Credit on the Term End Date. Participation Rates are used with
the Index Performance Strategy and there is one Participation Rate per Index Option. The Participation Rate is only available on the Index Performance Strategy
3-year and 6-year Terms. The Participation Rate is not available on Index Performance Strategy 1-year Terms. Index Options with a Participation Rate may allow you to receive more than the Index Return if the Index Return is positive, but the Participation Rate cannot boost Index Returns beyond any declared Cap. We do not apply the Participation Rate if the Index Return is zero or negative. We do not apply the Participation Rate annually. This method of calculation is also referred to as
“enhanced upside”. We set Participation Rates on each Term Start Date. The Participation Rates applicable to your Contract are shown on the Index Options
Statement.
Performance Credit – the return you receive on
a Term End Date from the Index Option(s). We base Performance Credits on Index Values and Index Returns after application of any Participation Rate up to the
Cap, any Trigger Rate, or the Buffer. Performance Credits can be
negative. If Performance Credits are negative, you can lose principal and previous earnings.
Performance Lock – a feature that allows you to
capture the current Index Option Value during the Term. A Performance Lock applies to the total Index Option Value in an Index Option, and not just a portion of
that Index Option Value. After the Lock Date, Daily Adjustments do not apply to a locked Index Option for the remainder of the Term and the locked Index Option Value will not receive a Performance Credit on the Term End Date.
Purchase Payment – the money you put into the
Contract.
Qualified Contract – a Contract that qualifies
for special tax treatment under sections of the Code. Currently, we issue Qualified Contracts that may include, but are not limited to Roth IRAs, traditional
IRAs and Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) IRAs. We may also issue an Inherited IRA and Inherited Roth IRA to make any required minimum distribution payments to a beneficiary of a previously held tax-qualified arrangement.
Quarterly Contract Anniversary – the day that
occurs three calendar months after the Issue Date or any subsequent Quarterly Contract Anniversary.
Term – the period of time, from the Term Start Date to the Term End Date, in which we measure Index Return to determine Performance Credits.
Term End Date – the day on which a Term ends and we apply Performance Credits. A Term End Date may only occur on an Index Anniversary. If a Term End Date does not occur on a Business Day, we consider it to occur on the next Business Day.
Term Start Date – the day on which a Term begins, and we set the Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates for an Index Option. A Term Start Date may only occur on the Index Effective Date or an Index Anniversary. However, if you execute an Early
Reallocation, the Term Start Date will be the Business Day we receive your Early Reallocation request in Good Order. If a Term Start Date does not occur on a
Business Day, we consider it to occur on the next Business Day.
Traditional Death Benefit – the guaranteed
death benefit automatically provided by the Contract for no additional fee described in section 11.
Trigger Rate – this is the positive Performance
Credit you receive on a Term End Date for any Index Option with the Index Dual Precision Strategy, or Index Precision Strategy. You receive the Trigger Rate on
the Term End Date if the current Index Value is equal to or greater than the Index Value on the Term Start Date. For the Index Dual Precision Strategy, you also receive the Trigger Rate if the Index Return is negative and the loss is less than or equal to the Buffer. This method of calculation is also referred to as “step-up”. You will receive a negative Performance Credit if the Index Value decreases from the Term Start Date to the Term End Date and the negative Index Return extends beyond the Buffer.

On each Term Start Date, we set a Trigger Rate for each Index Option with the Index Dual Precision Strategy and Index Precision Strategy. The Trigger Rates provide predefined upside potential. The Trigger Rates applicable to your Contract are shown on the Index Options Statement.
Variable Option – a subaccount of the Separate
Account, and the only variable investment option under the Contract. The Variable Option invests exclusively in the shares of the AZL Government Money Market
Fund.

AND ADJUSTMENTS

|
||
|
Are There
Charges or
Adjustments
for Early
Withdrawals?
|
Yes, your Contract is subject to charges for early withdrawals. If you withdraw money from
the Contract within six years of your last Purchase
Payment, you will be assessed a
withdrawal charge of up to 8% of the Purchase Payment withdrawn, declining to 0% over
that time period. For example, if you invest $100,000 in
the Contract and make an early
withdrawal, you could pay a withdrawal charge of up to $8,000. This loss will be greater if
there is a negative Daily Adjustment, taxes, or tax penalties.
In addition, if you take a full or partial withdrawal
(including financial adviser fees that you
choose to have us pay from this Contract) from an Index Option on a date other than the
withdrawal. The Daily Adjustment also applies if before the Term
End Date you execute a
Performance
Lock, you annuitize the Contract, we pay a death benefit, or we deduct
Contract fees and expenses. The Daily Adjustment may be positive, negative, or equal to
zero. A negative Daily Adjustment will result in a loss, and could result in a loss beyond the
protection of the 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer, as applicable. The maximum potential loss from
a negative Daily Adjustment is -99%. For example, if you
allocate $100,000 to a 1-year
has ended, you could lose up to $99,000 of your investment.
This loss will be greater if you
also have to pay a withdrawal charge, taxes, and tax
penalties.

There is an implicit ongoing fee on Index Options to the extent that your participation
in Index gains is limited by us through a
Cap or Trigger Rate. This means that your
returns may be lower than the Index’s returns. In return
for accepting this limit on Index
gains, you will receive some protection from Index losses.
This implicit ongoing fee is not

What are the
Risks
Associated
with the
Investment
Options?
|
• An investment in the Contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and

• The Variable Option and each Index Option have their own unique risks.
• You should review the Fund’s prospectus and disclosures, including risk factors, before

we apply a Performance Credit of -15%, meaning your Contract
Value allocated to that
Index
Option will decrease by 15% since the Term Start Date.
• The Indexes are price return indexes, not total return indexes. This means that the Index
Options do not receive any dividends payable on these securities. The Index Options also
do not directly participate in the returns of the Indexes
or the Indexes' component
securities. This will reduce the Index Return and may cause the Index to underperform a
direct investment in the securities composing the Index.

your existing Contract.

The following is a list of Index Options currently available under the Contract. We may change certain features of the Index Options listed below
(including the Index
and the current limits on Index gains) and offer new Index Options. We will provide you with written notice before making any changes other than changes to current
limits on Index
gains. Information about current limits on Index gains is available at https://www.allianzlife.com/RILANYRates.
Note: If amounts are removed from an Index Option before the Term End Date, we will apply a Daily Adjustment. This may result in a significant reduction in your Contract Value that could exceed any protection from Index loss that would be in place if such amounts were not
removed from the Index Option until the Term End Date.
For more information about the Index Options’ features, see section 4, Index Options, and section 6, Valuing Your Contract. For more information
about Daily Adjustment, see section 7, Expenses and Adjustments – Daily Adjustment.

This Index is a “price return index,” not a “total return index,” and therefore does not
reflect the dividends paid on the securities composing the Index, which will reduce the Index Return and may cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the securities composing the Index. For the
EURO STOXX 50®, this Index is a euro “price return
index” and Index Returns are determined without any exchange rate adjustment.
(2)
May be uncapped for a Term.
The current limit on Index loss for an Index Option will not change for the life of that Index
Option. However, we reserve the right to
add new Index Options. As such, the limits on Index loss offered under the Contract may change from one Term to the next if we add an Index Option.
If we offer a new Index Option with a Buffer in the future, the Buffer will be no lower than 5%. The lowest Trigger Rate, Cap, and Participation Rate that we may establish if we add a new Index Option to the Contract are 3%, 3%, and 100%, respectively.
