THE CONTRACT IS NO LONGER OFFERED FOR
SALE TO NEW INVESTORS.
We continue to administer the in force Contracts.
|
This Summary Prospectus summarizes key features of an individual flexible purchase payment index-linked and variable deferred annuity contract (Contract). The Contract is a complex
investment and involves risks. You may lose money, including your principal investment and previously credited earnings.
The Statutory Prospectus for the Contract contains more information about the Contract, including its features, benefits, and risks. You can find this Statutory Prospectus and other information about the Contract online at https://www.allianzlife.com/new-york/annuities/prospectuses. You can also obtain this information at no cost by calling (800) 624-0197 or by sending an email request to [email protected].
Each available Index Option offers a certain level of protection against Index losses used in the calculation of Performance Credits through a Buffer.
●
We currently offer Index Options with Buffers ranging from 10% to 30%. If there is poor Index performance, you could lose up
to 70% to 90% of your investment in an Index Option after taking into account the Buffer protection. Cumulative losses over the life of
the Contract could be greater.
●
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%.
Each available Index Option also has an upside feature, either a Cap and/or Participation Rate, used in the calculation of Performance Credits.
●
We may limit the amount you can earn on an Index Option
based on the Cap or Participation Rate, as applicable.
●
The lowest Cap and Participation Rate that we may
establish if we add a new Index Option to the Contract are 3% and 100%, respectively.
With prior written notice we may make certain Index Options temporarily unavailable on or after the sixth Index Anniversary if we are unable to support the minimum Cap due to yield on investments or the availability or cost of hedging. A list of currently available Index Options, including information on which can be made temporarily unavailable, can be found in the Overview of the Contract section of this prospectus.
This Contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate if you need ready access to cash. Withdrawals could result in withdrawal charges, negative Daily Adjustments, taxes, and tax penalties. The maximum potential loss from a negative Daily Adjustment is -99%.
All obligations and guarantees under the Contract, including Performance Credits, are the obligations of Allianz Life of New York and are subject to our claims-paying ability and financial strength.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has not approved or disapproved these securities or
determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. An
investment in this Contract is not a deposit of a bank or financial institution and is not federally insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other federal government agency. An investment in this
Contract involves investment risk including the possible loss of principal.

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 Protection NY Strategy Buffers are 30%, and Index Performance Strategy Buffers are either 10% or 20%. Buffers do not change.
Cap – for any Index Option, 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 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 Options. 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 surrender value reflects all Contract fees and expenses we would apply on surrender (including any withdrawal charge), as well as any applicable Daily Adjustment.
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.
Financial Professional – the person who
advises you regarding the Contract.
Fund(s) –the underlying fund in which a
Variable Option invests.
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.
Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus –

3
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. You
selected the Index Effective Date when you purchased the Contract.
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% or 20% Buffer. You can receive negative Performance Credits under this Crediting Method, which means you can lose principal and previous earnings.
Index Protection NY Strategy – one of the
Crediting Methods described in section 4, Index Options. The Index Protection NY Strategy calculates Performance Credits based on Index Returns subject to a
Cap and 30% Buffer. You can receive negative Performance Credits under this Crediting Method, which means you can lose principal and previous earnings. Restrictions on the availability of the Index Protection NY Strategy are discussed in Appendix A – Investment Options Available Under the Contract and in Appendix D – Material Contract Variations by Issue Date.
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”.
Investment Options – the Index Options and
Variable Options available under the Contract. In your Contract, Investment Options are called "Allocation Options".
Issue Date – the date we issued 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 if returns are positive, or after application of the Buffer if returns are negative. Performance Credits can be negative. If Performance Credits are negative, you can lose principal and previous earnings.
Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus –

4
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 Internal Revenue Code (Code).
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 Caps and Participation Rates for an Index Option. A Term Start Date may only occur on the Index Effective Date or an Index
Anniversary. 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.
Variable Option(s) – the subaccounts of the
Separate Account and the variable investment options available under the Contract. Each Variable Option invests exclusively in the shares of its
corresponding underlying Fund.

EXPENSES, AND ADJUSTMENTS
|
Prospectus
Location
|
||
|
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, income 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
Term End Date, a Daily Adjustment will apply to the
Index Option Value available for
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
Term Index Option with 10% Buffer and later withdraw
the entire amount before the Term
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, income taxes, and
tax penalties.

Are There
Transaction
Charges?

transfer after you exceed 12 transfers between Variable
Options in a Contract Year.

|
Are There
Ongoing Fees
and
Expenses?
|
Yes, there are ongoing fees and expenses. The table below describes the fees and
expenses that you may pay each year, depending on the
options you choose. Please refer
to your Contract specifications page for information
about the specific fees you will pay
each year based on the options you have elected. These ongoing fees and expenses do
not reflect any financial adviser fees paid to a
Financial Professional from your Contract
Value or other assets of the Owner. If such charges
were reflected, these ongoing fees and
expenses would be higher.
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. 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 reflected in the
tables below.

Is This a
Short-Term
Investment?
|
• No, this Contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate
if you need ready
access to cash.
• Considering the benefits of tax deferral and long-term income, the Contract is generally
more beneficial to investors with a long investment
time horizon.
• Withdrawals are subject to income taxes, and may also be subject to a 10% additional
federal tax for amounts withdrawn before age 59 1∕2.
• If, within six years after we receive a Purchase Payment, you take a full or partial
withdrawal (including financial adviser fees that you
choose to have us pay from this
Contract), withdrawal charges will apply. A withdrawal
charge will reduce your Contract
Value or the amount of money that you actually
receive. Withdrawals may reduce or end
Contract guarantees.
• Amounts invested in an Index Option must be held in the Index Option for the full Term
before they can receive a Performance Credit. We apply
a Daily Adjustment if, before the
Term End Date, you take a full or partial withdrawal
(including financial adviser fees that
you choose to have us pay from this Contract), 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 negative. You will lose money if the Daily Adjustment is
negative.
• Withdrawals and other deductions from an Index Option prior to a Term End Date will
result in a proportionate reduction to your Index
Option Base. The proportionate reduction
could be greater than the amount withdrawn or
deducted. Reductions to your Index
Option Base will result in lower Index Option Values
for the remainder of the Term and
lower gains (if any) on the Term End Date.
• On the Term End Date, you can transfer assets invested in an Index Option by submitting
transfer instructions. If you do not submit transfer
instructions, you will continue to be
invested in the same Index Option with a new Term
Start Date. The new Term will be
subject to the applicable renewal Cap, and/or
Participation Rate.

What are the
Risks
Associated
with the
Investment
Options?
|
• An investment in the Contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and
can vary depending on the performance of the Variable
Options and the Index Options
available under the Contract.
• Each Variable Option and Index Option have their own unique risks.
• You should review each Fund’s prospectus and disclosures, including risk factors, before
making an investment decision.
• Caps will limit positive Performance Credits (e.g., limited upside). This
may result in
earning less than the Index Return.
– For example, if at the end of a 1-year Term, the Index Return is 25% and the Cap is
15%, we apply a Performance Credit of 15%, meaning
your Contract Value allocated
to that Index Option will increase by 15% since the
Term Start Date.
• The Buffer will limit negative Performance Credits (e.g., limited protection in the case of
Index decline). However, you bear the risk for all Index losses that exceed the
Buffer.
– For example, if at the end of a Term, the Index Return is -25% and the Buffer is 10%,
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.

|
Are There
Restrictions on
the Investment
Options?
|
Yes, there are limits on the Investment Options.
• We can add new Index Options to your Contract in the future.
• The first 12 transfers between Variable Options every Contract Year are free. After that,
we deduct a $25 transfer fee for each additional
transfer. Your transfers between the
Variable Options are also subject to policies designed
to deter excessively frequent
transfers and market timing.
• We do not accept additional Purchase Payments during the Annuity Phase.
• We only allow assets to move into the Index Options on the Index Effective Date and on
subsequent Index Anniversaries as discussed in section
3, Purchase Payments –
Allocation of Purchase Payments and Contract Value
Transfers.
• You can typically transfer Index Option Value only on Term End Dates. However, you can
transfer assets out of a 3-year or 6-year Term Index
Option before the Term End Date by
executing a Performance Lock as discussed in section
6, Valuing Your Contract –
Performance Locks.
• We do not allow assets to move into an established Index Option until the Term End Date.
If you request to allocate a Purchase Payment into an
established Index Option on an
Index Anniversary that is not a Term End Date, we will
allocate those assets to the same
Index Option with a new Term Start Date.
• With prior written notice we may make the Index Protection NY Strategy Index Options
and Index Performance Strategy 3-year Term with 20%
Buffer Index Options temporarily
unavailable for a year or more on Term Start Dates
occurring on or after the sixth Index
Anniversary if we are unable to support the minimum
Cap on that Index Option. However,
we cannot make the Index Performance Strategy 1-year
Term, 3-year Term with 10%
Buffer, or 6-year Term Index Options temporarily
unavailable. (For more information on an
Index Option’s temporary unavailability, please see
Overview of the Contract – What are
the Phases of the Contract?) Once we make an Index
Option temporarily unavailable, it
may continue to be unavailable so long as we are
unable to support its minimum Cap due
to yield on investments or the availability or cost of
hedging. We cannot make an Index
Option temporarily unavailable for any other reason
other than being unable to support its
minimum Cap. We also cannot make an Index Option
permanently unavailable, remove it
from the Contract after issue, or make an Index Option
to which you are currently
allocated temporarily unavailable during its Term. A
temporarily unavailable Index Option
will become available once we can support its minimum
Cap. Although we cannot
eliminate an Index Option from your Contract, we
reserve the right to substitute Indexes
either on a Term Start Date or during a Term.
• We reserve the right to close or substitute the Fund in which a Variable Option invests.
• We can also decline a Purchase Payment if it does not meet the requirements set out in
section 3, Purchase Payments – Purchase Payment
Requirements.
• Caps and Participation Rates will change from one Term to the next subject to their
contractual minimum guarantees.
• The 10%, 20%, and 30% Buffers for the currently available Index Options do not change.
However, if we add a new Index Option to your Contract
after the Issue Date, we
establish the Buffer for it on the date we add the
Index Option to your Contract. For a new
Index Option, the minimum Buffer is 5%.

Are There Any
Restrictions on
Contract
Benefits?
|
Yes, there are restrictions on Contract benefits.
• We do not allow Performance Locks to occur on Term End Dates.
• We reserve the right to discontinue or modify the Minimum Distribution Program and
Financial Adviser Fees program.
• The deduction of financial adviser fees is in addition to this Contract's fees and expenses,
and the deduction is treated the same as any other
withdrawal under the Contract. As
such, withdrawals to pay financial adviser fees may be
subject to a Daily Adjustment (that
could be negative), are subject to withdrawal charges,
will reduce the Contract Value
dollar for dollar and Guaranteed Death Benefit Value
proportionately (perhaps
significantly and by more than the amount withdrawn).
• The Traditional Death Benefit is only available during the Accumulation Phase. Upon
annuitization, this benefit will end.
• The Traditional Death Benefit may not be modified, but it will terminate if you take
withdrawals that reduce both the Contract Value and
Guaranteed Death Benefit Value to
zero. Withdrawals may reduce the Traditional Death
Benefit’s Guaranteed Death Benefit
Value by more than the value withdrawn and could end
the Traditional Death Benefit.

for selling this Contract to you, in
the form of commissions, additional cash benefits
(e.g., cash bonuses), and non-cash
compensation. We and/or our wholly owned subsidiary
distributor may also make marketing
support payments to certain selling firms for marketing
services and costs associated with
Contract sales. This conflict of interest may influence
your Financial Professional to
recommend this Contract over another investment for
which the Financial Professional is
not compensated or compensated less.

Should I
Exchange my
Contract?
|
Whether to exchange your existing Contract for a new
contract is a decision that each
investor should make based on their personal
circumstances and financial objectives.
However, in making this decision you should be aware
that some Financial Professionals
may have a financial incentive to offer you a new
contract in place of one you already own.
You should only exchange your Contract if you
determine, after comparing the features,
risks, and fees of both contracts, including any fees
or penalties to terminate your existing
Contract, that it is better for you to purchase the new
contract rather than continue to own
your existing Contract.

Index Options
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/indexratesnyafter2022.
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.

(1)
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 Cap and Participation Rate that we may establish if we add a new Index Option to the Contract are 3% and 100%, respectively.
