Registered index-linked annuity
Index Advantage+ New York
Index Advantage+ New York is the New York contract version, pairing SEC-registered market-linked growth potential with defined downside terms; contract value can rise or fall.
Buffer
30%
Protection terms vary by segment and do not make the contract principal-protected.
RILA contracts can offer index-linked upside with a stated buffer, floor, or downside participation rule. They can still lose value under market and contract conditions, and they are not MYGA-style fixed-rate guarantees.

Source: AdvisorWorld public product detail from CANNEX. Rates vary by state, premium band, issue age, index segment, and crediting term. RILA buffers, floors, downside participation, caps, participation rates, fixed rates, and spreads are separate point-in-time contract mechanics; they can change and are not guaranteed yields. Educational only; not advice, a quote, or a carrier-approved illustration. Confirm the current prospectus, state-approved contract version, and carrier materials before purchase. Guarantees are backed by the issuing carrier's claims-paying ability and are not FDIC-insured.
How this product works
How the 30% buffer works
For buffer segments, the insurer absorbs the first 30% of a linked-index loss for that segment term. If the index falls by more than the buffer, the contract loses value by the amount beyond it. These are forms of limited downside protection, not principal protection.
Because this is an SEC-registered product, compare the current prospectus, contract, segment term, crediting limit, fees, and surrender rules before purchase.

Buffer: credited loss = min(0, index return + buffer). Floor: credited loss = max(index return, −floor). Upside participation is applied before any cap; an annual strategy fee is compounded across the listed segment term.

What stands out
- • A defined-protection strategy menu gives Index Advantage+ New York buyers a choice of market-linked segments rather than a single declared return.
- • Index and term choices are grouped on the page so each market and time horizon can be compared without duplicate listings for premiums or states.
- • The contract is positioned around tax-deferred accumulation and selectable risk/return trade-offs rather than a principal guarantee.
What to watch
- • This registered index-linked annuity can lose money. Its downside rule limits specified segment losses; it does not make principal fully protected.
- • A buffer means the insurer absorbs the first stated percentage of loss. A floor means the buyer’s segment loss is capped at the stated percentage. They are not interchangeable.
- • Caps, participation rates, spreads, strategy fees, and protection levels can vary by segment, term, state, and premium band and can change for new segments.
- • Early withdrawals can be affected by surrender charges, market value adjustments, and interim value calculations apart from the index result.
Who it may fit
Buyers who understand prospectus-governed market risk, can keep money in the contract through the intended segment and surrender periods, and want to choose a defined downside trade-off rather than full principal protection.
Who should look elsewhere
Buyers who need principal protection, a bank-deposit guarantee, unrestricted liquidity, or a simple fixed return that does not depend on an index segment.

RILA questions
Can this product lose value?
Yes. Principal is not protected; linked segments can lose value when negative index performance exceeds the selected protection or under other contract terms.
How are a buffer and floor different?
A buffer absorbs the first stated portion of a loss and passes through the excess. A floor caps the segment loss at the stated amount.
What limits positive returns?
Depending on the segment, a cap, participation rate, spread, strategy fee, or combination can limit credited upside.
