Social
Impact Investing
In April 2021, New York Life took an important step forward in our ongoing commitment to meaningful, lasting change by launching the impact investment program. This initiative is designed to support underserved and undercapitalized communities by helping them grow and thrive.
We focus on areas that promote personal and household financial health- including affordable housing, small business growth, and community development projects. Our goal is to create positive social outcomes while also seeking to deliver sustainable risk-adjusted returns. These two objectives are not mutually exclusive. In fact, we believe investing in underserved communities potentially leads to more business development which begets meaningful social and economic returns.
