PART I PROSPECTUS

ALLIANZ Index Advantage® +SM New York VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACT ~~issued on or after January 1, 2023~~

Issued by Allianz Life of NY Variable Account C and Allianz Life Insurance Company of New York (Allianz Life of New York, we, us, our)

The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed. We cannot sell the Allianz Index Advantage®+SM New York Variable Annuity ~~pursuant to this prospectus~~ until the Registration Statement ~~containing this prospectus~~ filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This prospectus is not an offer to sell the Contract and is not soliciting an offer to buy the Contract in any state where the offer or sale is not permitted.

The variable annuity described in this prospectus is an individual flexible purchase payment index-linked variable deferred annuity contract (Contract). This prospectus describes the Contract between you, the Owner, and Allianz Life of New York. Allianz Life Financial Services, LLC distributes the Contracts.

The Contract allows you to allocate your money (Purchase Payments) and any earnings among the Contract’s investment options (Allocation Options), which currently include index-linked investment options (Index Options) and a variable investment ~~options~~option (Variable ~~Options~~Option).

•

Index Options. Each Index Option is tied (or linked) to the performance of a specific market Index for a defined time period (Term). Each Index Option has a Buffer downside feature that provides limited protection against any negative Index rate of return (Index Return) that may be credited to your investment for a Term. The maximum potential ~~loss from~~ negative ~~Index~~Performance ~~Returns~~ Credit is: -90% with a 10% Buffer, -80% with a 20% Buffer, and -70% with a 30% Buffer. Such losses will be greater if you take a withdrawal (including any financial adviser fees that you choose to have us pay from this Contract) that is subject to a withdrawal charge, or is a deduction of Contract fees and expenses. Each Index Option also has aan ~~Capped~~ upside feature that puts an upper limit on positive Index Return that may be credited for a Term. The upper limit on positive Index Return is provided by the Cap for the Index Performance Strategy; and the Trigger Rate for the Index Dual Precision Strategy and Index Precision Strategy. Multi-year Term Index Options also have a Participation Rate that may allow you to receive more than the positive Index Return.

•

Variable ~~Options~~Option. The Variable ~~Options~~Option’s performance is based on the securities in which ~~they~~it ~~invest~~invests.

We expect to add orIndex ~~remove~~Options from time to time. We guarantee a Variable ~~Options,~~Option ~~and~~will always be available to ~~add~~you. With notice we may make Index Options, ~~from~~temporarily ~~time~~unavailable if we are unable to ~~time.~~support ~~With~~the ~~prior~~minimum ~~written~~Trigger ~~notice~~Rate weor ~~may~~Cap ~~also~~due ~~make~~to yield on investments or the ~~following~~availability or cost of hedging. A list of currently available Index Options, including information on which can be made temporarily unavailable onand ~~Term~~when ~~Start~~they ~~Dates~~may ~~occurring~~be onmade ortemporarily ~~after~~unavailable, can be found in the ~~sixth~~Overview ~~Index Anniversary:~~of the Contract section of this prospectus.

• Index-linked and variable annuity contracts are complex insurance and investment vehicles. You may lose money, including your principal investment and previously credited earnings. Contract fees and expenses could cause your losses to be greater than the downside protection of the Index Options. Your losses may be significant. This Contract is not intended for someone who is seeking complete protection from downside risk, seeking unlimited investment potential, or expecting to take withdrawals that will not be subject to withdrawal charges or Daily Adjustments. Before investing, be sure to ask your Financial Professional about the Contract’s features, benefits, risks, fees and expenses, whether the Contract is appropriate for you based upon your financial situation and objectives, and for a specific recommendation to purchase the Contract. The Contract’s risks are described in Risk Factors on page 18 of this prospectus.

Before the end of an Index ~~Protection~~Option’s NYTerm, ~~Strategy~~if 1you take any type of withdrawal, execute the Performance Lock feature, begin Annuity Payments, or if we pay a death benefit or deduct a fee or expense, we base the transaction on the interim value of your Index Option investment, which includes the Daily Adjustment. The Daily Adjustment fluctuates daily, positively or negatively. In extreme circumstances, the Daily Adjustment could result in a loss beyond the protection of the Buffer. The maximum potential loss from a negative Daily Adjustment is -~~year~~99%. The Daily Adjustment could reflect significantly less gain, or more loss than we would apply to an Index Option at the end of a Term. ~~with~~Such ~~30%~~losses ~~Buffer~~will be ~~and~~ greater 3%if ~~minimum~~you ~~Cap;~~take a withdrawal (including any financial adviser fees that you choose to have us pay from this Contract) that is subject to a withdrawal charge, or is a deduction of Contract fees and expenses. If you have Index Options with different Term End Dates, there may be no time that any such transaction can be performed without the application of at least one Daily Adjustment.

•

Index Performance Strategy 3-year Term with 20% Buffer, 12% minimum Cap, and 100% minimum Participation Rate.

Temporary unavailability may last for a year or more if we are unable to support the minimum Cap due to yield on investments or the availability or cost of hedging. We cannot make an Index Option permanently unavailable or remove it from the Contract after issue. We also cannot make an Index Option temporarily unavailable before the sixth Index Anniversary, during a Term, or at any other time, or for any other reason.

We cannot make the following Index Performance Strategy Index Options temporarily unavailable:

•

1-year Term with 10% Buffer and 5% minimum Cap;

•

3-year Term with 10% Buffer, 15% minimum Cap, and 100% minimum Participation Rate; and

•

6-year Term with 10% Buffer, 30% minimum Cap, and 100% minimum Participation Rate.

We establish the Index Options that we cannot make temporarily unavailable when we issue your Contract and we cannot change them. Any new Index Option we add to your Contract after issue will indicate if it can be made temporarily unavailable or not. These Buffers and minimum Caps and Participation Rates for each Index Option, respectively, will not change for life of the Contract.

Contract fees and expenses could cause your losses to be greater than the downside protection of the Index Options. Your losses may be significant. This Contract is not intended for someone who is seeking complete protection from downside risk, seeking unlimited investment potential, or expecting to take withdrawals that will not be subject to withdrawal charges or Daily Adjustments.

Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – May 1, 2023

Before the end of an Index Option’s Term, if you take any type of withdrawal, execute the Performance Lock feature, begin Annuity Payments, or if we pay a death benefit or deduct a fee or expense, we base the transaction on the interim value of your Index Option investment, which includes the Daily Adjustment. The Daily Adjustment fluctuates daily, positively or negatively. In extreme circumstances the Daily Adjustment could result in a loss beyond the protection of the Buffer. The maximum potential loss from a negative Daily Adjustment is -99%. The Daily Adjustment could reflect significantly less gain, or more loss than we would apply to an Index Option at the end of a Term. Such losses will be greater if you take a withdrawal (including any financial adviser fees that you choose to have us pay from this Contract) that is subject to a withdrawal charge, or is a deduction of Contract fees and expenses. If you have Index Options with different Term End Dates, there may be no time that any such transaction can be performed without the application of at least one Daily Adjustment.

A withdrawal charge also applies if you take a withdrawal within six years of your last Purchase Payment.

The Contract may be available through third-party financial advisers who charge a financial adviser fee for their services. If you choose to pay financial adviser fees from this Contract, the deduction of this financial adviser fee 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 are subject to withdrawal charges, and, if withdrawn on a day other than a Term End Date, we apply the Daily Adjustment (which can be negative) to the Contract Value before deducting the withdrawal.

~~Withdrawals~~ Allianz ~~will~~Index ~~reduce the Contract Value~~Advantage+SM ~~and~~New ~~Guaranteed~~York ~~Death~~Variable ~~Benefit~~Annuity ~~Value~~Prospectus ~~(perhaps significantly~~– ~~and by more than the amount withdrawn)~~[MMDD], and are subject to federal and state income taxes (including a 10% additional federal tax).

such, withdrawals to pay financial adviser fees are subject to withdrawal charges, and, if withdrawn on a day other than a Term End Date, we apply the Daily Adjustment (which can be negative) to the Contract Value before deducting the withdrawal.

Withdrawals will reduce the Contract Value, Cash Value, and Guaranteed Death Benefit Value (perhaps significantly and by more than the amount withdrawn), are subject to income taxes, and may be subject to a 10% additional federal tax for amounts withdrawn before age 59 1∕2. Please consult with your Financial Professional before requesting us to pay financial adviser fees from this Contract rather than from other assets you may have.

All obligations and guarantees under the Contract, including index-linked returns (Performance Credits), are the obligations of Allianz Life of New York and are subject to our claims-paying ability and financial strength.

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.

Accumulation Phase – the first phase of your Contract before you request Annuity Payments. The Accumulation Phase begins on the Issue Date.

Allocation Options – the Variable ~~Options~~Option and Index Options available to you under the Contract.

Annuitant – the individual upon whose life we base the Annuity Payments. Subject to our approval, the Owner designates the Annuitant, and can add a joint Annuitant for the Annuity Phase. There are restrictions on who can become an Annuitant.

Annuity Date – the date we begin making Annuity Payments to the Payee from the Contract. Your Annuity Date must occur on an Index Anniversary. The earliest available Annuity Date is the next Index Anniversary that occurs at least 13 months after the Issue Date, and the ~~latest possible~~ maximum Annuity Date is either age 90 or age 100 depending on the requirements of the Financial Professional from which you purchased your Contract ~~through~~.

Annuity Options – the annuity income options available to you under the Contract.

Annuity Payments – payments made by us to the Payee pursuant to the chosen Annuity Option.

Annuity Phase – the phase the Contract is in once Annuity Payments begin.

Beneficiary – the person(s) or entity the Owner designates to receive any death benefit, unless otherwise required by the Contract or applicable law.

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~~Dual Precision NY Strategy and Index Precision Strategy Buffers are 3010%, and Index Performance Strategy Buffers are either 10%, 20%, or 2030%. 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~~ 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.

Cash Value – the amount available upon surrender (full withdrawal). It is the Contract Value (including any Daily Adjustment) less any final contract maintenance charge, and withdrawal charge.

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 athe 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~~Cash ~~surrender~~Value ~~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.

~~Crediting~~ Allianz ~~Method~~Index –Advantage+SM New aYork ~~method~~Variable weAnnuity ~~use~~Prospectus to– ~~calculate~~[MMDD], ~~Performance Credits if you allocate Purchase Payments or transfer Contract Value to an Index Option.~~2024

Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – May 1, 2023

Crediting Method – a method we use to calculate Performance Credits if you allocate Purchase Payments or transfer Contract Value to an Index Option.

Daily Adjustment – how we calculate Index Option Values on days other than the Term Start Date or Term End Date as discussed in section 4, Valuing Your Contract – Daily Adjustment; and Appendix B. 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.

Determining Life (Lives) – the person(s) designated at Contract issue and named in the Contract on whose life we base the guaranteed Traditional Death Benefit.

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.

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(sies) 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 A.

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, Valuing Your Contract. The Index Dual Precision Strategy calculates Performance Credits based on Index Returns subject to a Trigger Rate and 10% Buffer. You can receive negative Performance Credits under this Crediting Method, which means you can lose principal and previous earnings. The Index Dual Precision Strategy may perform best in periods of small positive or small negative market movements because the Trigger Rates will generally be greater than the Trigger Rates for the Index Protection Strategy with Trigger, but less than the Index Precision Strategy Trigger Rates and Index Performance Strategy Caps. The Index Dual Precision Strategy differs from the other available Crediting Methods in that it provides a positive Performance Credit for small negative market movements when the loss is less than or equal to the 10% Buffer. However, the Index Dual Precision Strategy is similar to the Index Performance Strategy with 10% Buffer Index Options and Index Precision Strategy in that losses exceeding the 10% Buffer result in negative Performance Credits. 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 – 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;. weWe increase/decrease it by the dollar amount of additional Purchase Payments allocated to, transfers into or out of the Index Option, and any Performance Credits.

~~Index~~ Allianz ~~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 takeAdvantage+SM ~~and~~New ~~any~~York ~~financial~~Variable ~~adviser~~Annuity ~~fees~~Prospectus ~~that~~– ~~you choose to have us pay from this Contract (including any withdrawal charge)~~[MMDD], 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.2024

Index Options Statement – the account statement we mail to you on the Index Effective Date and each Index Anniversary thereafter. On the Index Effective Date, the statement shows the initial Index Values, Caps and Participation Rates for the Index Options you selected. On each Index Anniversary, the statement shows the new Index Values, Performance Credits received, and renewal Caps and Participation Rates that are effective for the next Term for the Index Options you selected that have reached their Term End Date. The Index Options Statement also shows the applicable Buffer for your selected Index Option(s). For any Index Option you selected that has not reached its Term End Date the statement shows the current Index Anniversary’s Index Option Value, which includes the Daily Adjustment.

Index Performance Strategy – one of the Crediting Methods described in section 4, Valuing Your Contract. 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. The

Index Performance Strategy – one of the Crediting Methods described in section 4, Valuing Your Contract. 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. The Index Performance Strategy is more sensitive to large negative market movements because small negative market movements are absorbed by the 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer.

Index Precision Strategy – one of the Crediting Methods described in section 4, Valuing Your Contract. 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. The Index Precision Strategy may perform best in periods of small positive market movements because the Trigger Rates will generally be greater than the Index Dual Precision Strategy Trigger Rates, but less than the Index Performance Strategy Caps. The Index Precision Strategy is more sensitive to large negative market movements because small negative market movements are absorbed by the 10% Buffer.

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.

Index Value – an Index’s closing market price at the end of the Business Day on the Term Start Date and Term End Date as provided by Bloomberg or another market source if Bloomberg is not available.

Index Year – a twelve-month period beginning on the Index Effective Date or a subsequent Index Anniversary.

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.

Joint Owners – the two person(s) designated at Contract issue and named in the Contract who may exercise all rights granted by the Contract. Joint Owners must be spouses within the meaning of federal tax law.

Lock Date – this is the Business Day we execute a Performance Lock and capture an Index Option Value (which includes the Daily Adjustment) before the Term End Date.

Non-Qualified Contract – a Contract that is not purchased under a pension or retirement plan that qualifies for special tax treatment under sections of the Code.

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 in calculating a Performance Credit. 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. ~~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.~~ 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 ~~Options~~Option(s). We base Performance Credits on Index Values and Index Returns after application of any Participation Rate up to the Cap, ifany ~~returns~~Trigger ~~are positive~~Rate, or ~~after application of~~ or the Buffer. Performance ifCredits ~~returns~~can ~~are~~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.

Proxy Investment – provides a current estimate of what the Performance Credit will be on the Term End Date taking into account any applicable Buffer, Trigger Rate, Cap, and/or Participation Rate. We use the Proxy Investment to calculate the Daily Adjustment on Business Days other than the Term Start Date or Term End Date. For more information, see Appendix B.

Service Center – the area of our company that issues Contracts and provides Contract maintenance and routine customer service. Our Service Center address and telephone number are listed at the back of this prospectus. The address for mailing applications, and/or checks for Purchase Payments may be different and is also listed at the back of this prospectus.

Term – ~~The~~ 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~~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~~the day on which a Term begins, and we set the Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates for an Index Option.

You will receive a negative Performance Credit if the Index Value decreases from the Term Start Date to the Term End Date and the decrease is greater than 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.

Valid Claim – the documents we require to be received in Good Order at our Service Center before we pay any death claim. This includes the death benefit payment option, due proof of death, and any required governmental forms. Due proof of death includes a certified copy of the death certificate, a decree of court of competent jurisdiction as to the finding of death, or any other proof satisfactory to us.

Variable Account Value – on any Business Day it is equal to the ~~portion~~value of ~~your~~the ~~Contract~~shares ~~Value~~ in ~~your~~the ~~selected~~ Variable ~~Options~~Option.

Important Information You Should Consider About the Contract

	FEES AND EXPENSES			Prospectus Location
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. 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, annuitize the Contract, we pay a death benefit, or we deduct Contract fees and expenses. A Term is the time period we use to measure Index performance. We offer 1-year, 3-year, and 6-year Terms. The Daily Adjustment may be positive, negative, or equal to zero. A negative Daily Adjustment will result in loss. In extreme circumstances, a negative Daily Adjustment could result in a loss beyond the protection of the Buffer. The maximum potential loss from a negative Daily Adjustment is -99%.			Fee Tables 4. Valuing Your Contract – Daily Adjustment 6. Expenses – Withdrawal Charge Appendix B – Daily Adjustment

Risk of Loss	You can lose money by investing in the Contract, including loss of principal and previous earnings.		Risk Factors
Not a Short-Term Investment	• 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. • 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. • Withdrawals are subject to income taxes, including a 10% additional federal tax for withdrawals taken before age 59 1∕2. • Amounts invested in an Index Option must be held in the Index Option for the full Term before they can receive a Performance Credit.

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 substitute the Variable Option. We also reserve the right to discontinue accepting new allocations into specific Index Options and to substitute Indexes either on a Term Start Date or during a Term. We can also decline a Purchase Payment if it does not meet the requirements set out in section 3, Purchasing the Contract – Purchase Requirements.	Overview of the Contract Risk Factors 3.

Overview of the Contract

What Is the Purpose of the Contract?

The ~~Allianz~~ Index Advantage® +SM New York is a product that offers Index Options ~~and~~, a Variable ~~Options~~Option, and allows you to defer taking regular fixed periodic payments (Annuity Payments) to a future date. Under the Contract, you make one or more Purchase Payments. Except for Purchase Payments received on the Index Effective Date or an Index Anniversary, Purchase Payments you allocate to the Index Options are first invested for a limited time in the AZL ® Government Money Market Fund and then transferred to the Index Option(s) that you select for investment. Depending on several factors (e.g., Allocation Options you select, market conditions, and timing of any withdrawals), your Contract can gain or lose value. When you are ready to receive a guaranteed stream of income under your Contract, you can annuitize ~~your~~the ~~accumulated~~Contract ~~assets~~ and begin receiving Annuity Payments from us based on the payout option you select (Annuity Options). The Contract includes, for no additional charge, a standard death benefit (the Traditional Death Benefit) that helps to financially protect your beneficiaries.

We designed the Contract for people who are looking for a death benefit for a period of time, and a level of protection for your principal investment while providing potentially higher returns than are available on traditional fixed annuities. In addition, you should have a long investment time horizon and your financial goals should be otherwise consistent with the terms and conditions of the Contract. This Contract is not intended for someone who is seeking complete protection from downside risk, seeking unlimited investment potential, or expecting to take withdrawals that will not be subject to withdrawal charges or Daily Adjustments (i.e., a person that does not need access to Contract Value within six years after we receive a Purchase Payment, or before an Index Option's Term End Date). If you have Index Options with different Term End Dates, there may be no time you can take a withdrawal without application of at least one Daily Adjustment.

Availability of Index Options may vary by financial intermediary. You can obtain information on which Index Options are available to you by calling (800) 624-0197, or from your Financial Professional.

Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – May 1, 2023

What Are the Phases of the Contract?

The Contract has two phases: (1) an Accumulation Phase, and (2) an Annuity Phase.

•

Accumulation Phase. This is the first phase of your Contract, and it begins on the Issue Date. During the Accumulation Phase, your money is invested under the Contract on a tax-deferred basis. Tax deferral may not be available for certain non-individually owned contracts. Tax deferral means you are not taxed on any earnings or appreciation on the assets in your Contract until you take money out of your Contract. In addition, during this phase, you can make additional Purchase Payments (subject to limitations), you can take withdrawals, and if you die, we pay a death benefit to your named Beneficiary(sies).

Your Contract Value may fluctuate up or down during the Accumulation Phase based on the performance of your selected Allocation Options.

−

Index Options. You may allocate your Purchase Payments to any or all of the Index Options available under your Contract. There are currently a maximum of 1432 Index Options based on different combinations of ~~two~~three credit calculation methods (Crediting Methods), four nationally recognized third-party broad based equity securities price return Indexes, and three Term periods for measuring Index performance. Each Index Option is the combination of an Index, a Crediting Method, a Term length, and a Buffer amount. 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 due to yield on investments or the availability or cost of hedging. However, we cannot make the following Index Performance Strategy Index Options temporarily unavailable: 1-year Term with 10% Buffer, 3-year Term with 10% Buffer, or 6-year Term with 10% Buffer. 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. However, we cannot make an Index Option permanently unavailable or remove it after we issue your Contract, and a temporarily unavailable Index Option will become available once we can support its minimum Cap.

Subject to the following parameters, with notice, we may make the Index Options temporarily unavailable for a year or more if we are unable to support the minimum Trigger Rate or Cap due to yield on investments or the availability or cost of hedging. We can make all Index Options temporarily unavailable for Early Reallocation at any time, which means there may be times when Early Reallocation is unavailable to you. The Temporarily Unavailable Identifier column in the table below indicates the Index Option groups that can be made temporarily unavailable on the Index Effective Date or an Index Anniversary (or both):

Your initial and renewal Caps and Participation Rates for your selected Index Options and their Buffer are stated in your Index Options Statement, which is the account statement we mail to you on the Index Effective Date and each Index Anniversary.

Variable ~~Options~~Option. You can allocate your Purchase Payments to ~~any or all of~~ the Variable ~~Options~~Option available under your Contract. We only allow assets to move into the Index Options on ~~the Index~~Term ~~Effective~~Start ~~Date~~Dates and onTerm ~~subsequent~~End ~~Index Anniversaries~~Dates.

For more information, please see Appendix C - Variable ~~Options~~Option Available Under the Contract.

•

Annuity Phase. If you request Annuity Payments, the Accumulation Phase ends and the Annuity Phase begins. Annuity Payments are fixed payments we make based on the Annuity Option you select and your Contract Value (which reflects any previously deducted Contract fees and expenses). Annuity Payments can provide a guaranteed lifetime fixed income stream with certain tax advantages. We designed the Annuity Payments for Owners who no longer need immediate access to Contract Value to meet their short-term income needs.

During the Annuity Phase, you will receive a stream of regular income in the form of Annuity Payments. You will be unable to take withdrawals upon demand, the Traditional Death Benefit ends, and no amounts will be payable upon death during the Annuity Phase unless your Annuity Option provides otherwise.

What Are the Contract’s Primary Features?

•

Accessing Your Money. During the Accumulation Phase, you can surrender the Contract (take a full withdrawal), ~~the Contract~~ or take partial withdrawals. Withdrawals may be subject to negative Daily Adjustments, ~~and~~ are subject to a withdrawal charge, ~~and~~ income taxes, ~~including~~and may also be subject to a 10% additional federal tax iffor ~~taken~~amounts withdrawn before age 59 1∕2.

•

Additional Purchase Payments. Subject to the limitations described in this prospectus, we continue to accept additional Purchase Payments under the Contracts during the Accumulation Phase. We only allow additional Purchase Payments to move into Index Options on the Index Effective Date or Index Anniversaries. As a result, we hold Purchase Payments ~~you~~ ~~allocate~~in to the ~~Index~~AZL ~~Options~~Government ~~that~~Money Market Fund when we receive them on days other than anthe Index Effective Date or Index Anniversaries. We then transfer them to the Index Options on the next Index Anniversary according to your allocation instructions. However, for additional Purchase Payments held in the AZL Government Money Market Fund, ~~and~~you can make an Early Reallocation request, which will result in a transfer from the fund to the applicable Index Option(s) before the next Index Anniversary. For that reason, such Purchase Payments are not available to receive Performance Credits until we transfer them to your selected Index Options and those Index Options reach their respective Term End Dates. 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. Purchase Payments held in the AZL Government Money Market Fund are subject to the mortality and expense risk (M&E) charge, fund fees and expenses, and fund performance (which can be negative) until being transferred to the Index Options.

•

Death Benefit. The Contract’s death benefit is paid upon the first death of any Determining Life during the Accumulation Phase. The Contract includes for no additional charge a standard death benefit (the Traditional Death Benefit). The death benefit equals the greater of Contract Value, or the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value (which is based on Purchase Payments).

•

Withdrawal Charge Waivers. Under the free withdrawal privilege, you may withdraw up to 10% of your total Purchase Payments each Contract Year during the Accumulation Phase without incurring a withdrawal charge. Upon a full withdrawal, the free withdrawal privilege is not available to you. We do not apply a withdrawal charge to deductions we make for Contract fees or expenses. The waiver of withdrawal charge benefit allows you to take a withdrawal after the first Contract Year without incurring a withdrawal charge if you are confined to a skilled nursing ~~home~~facility or hospital for a period of at least 90 consecutive days. Also, if you own an IRA, Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) IRA, Inherited IRA, or Inherited Roth IRA Contract, payments you take under our minimum distribution program (RMD payments) are not subject to a withdrawal charge. The minimum distribution program is not available if you have a ~~qualified~~ qualified plan Contract. Withdrawals under these waivers are still subject to income taxes (including a 10% additional federal tax if you are younger than age 59 1∕2), and to the Daily Adjustment if taken other than on a Term End Date, and may reduce Contract benefits (perhaps significantly and by more than the amount withdrawn).

Allianz Index Advantage+SM New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – [MMDD], 2024

•

Deduction of Financial Adviser Fees. If you have a financial adviser and want to pay their financial adviser fees from this Contract, you can instruct us to withdraw the fee from your Contract and pay it to your Financial Professional or Financial Professional’s firm as instructed. 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 are subject to withdrawal charges, and to the Daily Adjustment if taken other than on a Term End Date, will reduce the Contract Value and Guaranteed Death Benefit ~~Value~~ Value (perhaps significantly and by more than the amount withdrawn), ~~and~~ are subject to income taxes (~~including~~and may also be subject to a 10% additional federal tax iffor ~~you~~amounts ~~are~~withdrawn ~~younger~~before ~~than~~ age 59 1∕2). Please consult with your Financial Professional before requesting us to pay financial adviser fees from this Contract rather than from other assets you may have.

Fee Tables

The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you will pay when buying, owning, and surrendering or making withdrawals from the Contract. Please refer to your Contract specifications page for information about the specific fees you will pay each year.

This shows the maximum potential loss due to the application of the Daily Adjustment (e.g., maximum loss could occur if there is a total distribution within a Term at a time when the Index price has declined to zero). The Daily Adjustment could result in a loss beyond the protection of the 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer. The Daily Adjustment applies if before the Term End Date you take a full or partial withdrawal (including any financial adviser fees that you choose to have us pay from this Contract), execute a Performance Lock, annuitize the Contract, we pay a death benefit, or when we deduct Contract fees or expenses. The actual Daily Adjustment calculation is determined by a formula described in Appendix B.

Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include transaction expenses, annual Contract expenses, and annual Variable Option expenses. These costs do not include any financial adviser fees that you pay from your other assets, or that you choose to have us pay from this Contract.

The Example assumes that you invest $100,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Risk Factors

The Contract involves certain risks that you should understand before investing. You should carefully consider your income needs and risk tolerance to determine whether the Contract is appropriate for you. The level of risk you bear and your potential investment performance will differ depending on the Allocation Options you choose.

Liquidity Risks

We designed the Contract to be a long-term investment that you can use to help build and provide income for retirement. The Contract is not suitable for short-term investment.

If you need to take a full or partial withdrawal during the withdrawal charge period, or when we deduct any financial adviser fees that you choose to have us pay from this Contract, we deduct a withdrawal charge unless the withdrawal is a Penalty-Free Withdrawal. While Penalty-Free Withdrawals provide some liquidity, they are permitted in only limited amounts or in special circumstances. If you need to withdraw most or all of your Contract Value in a short period, you will exceed the Penalty-Free Withdrawal amounts available to you and incur withdrawal charges. (For more information on the withdrawal charge, see the Fee Tables and section 6, Expenses – Withdrawal Charge.)

~~We calculate the withdrawal charge as a percentage of your Purchase Payments, not Contract Value.~~ ~~Consequently,~~ Allianz ifIndex ~~the~~Advantage+SM New ~~Contract~~York ~~Value~~Variable ~~has~~Annuity ~~declined~~Prospectus ~~since~~– ~~you made a Purchase Payment~~[MMDD], ~~it is possible the percentage of Contract Value~~ 2024

17 We calculate the withdrawal charge as a percentage of your Purchase Payments, not Contract Value. Consequently, if the Contract Value has declined since you made a Purchase Payment, it is possible the percentage of Contract Value withdrawn to cover the withdrawal charge would be greater than the withdrawal charge percentage. For example, assume you buy the Contract with a single Purchase Payment of $10,000. If your Contract Value in the 5th year is $8,000 and you take a full withdrawal a 3% withdrawal charge applies. The total withdrawal charge would be $300 (3% of $10,000). This results in you receiving $7,700.

On a full withdrawal your Withdrawal Charge Basis may be greater than your Contract Value because the following reduce your Contract Value, but do not reduce your Withdrawal Charge Basis: deductions we make for Contract fees or expenses; and/or poor performance.

~~Amounts~~We ~~withdrawn~~only apply Performance Credits to the Index Options once each Term on the Term End Date, rather than on a daily basis. In the interim, we calculate Index Option Values based on the Daily Adjustment. The Variable Option is not subject to the Daily Adjustment. Any assets removed from an Index Option during the Term for withdrawals you take (including Penalty-Free Withdrawals, and any financial adviser fees that you choose to have us pay from this Contract), ~~may~~Annuity ~~also~~Payments, or deductions we make for Contract fees and expenses, or if we pay a death benefit, will not be ~~subject~~eligible to ~~federal~~receive ~~and~~a Performance ~~state~~Credit ~~income~~on ~~taxes~~the Term End Date.

You can transfer Index Option Value to the Variable Options or among the available Index Options only on Term End Dates. At other times, you can only move assets out of an Index Option by taking a full or partial withdrawal, or entering the Annuity Phase. Additionally, you can transfer assets out of a 3-year or 6-year Term Index Option before the Term End Date only by executing a Performance Lock. Once an Index Option is locked, you can transfer assets out of it on the Index Anniversary that occurs on or immediately after the Lock Date. For a 3-year or 6-year Term Index Option this means you can transfer out of the locked Index Option before the Term End Date only by executing a Performance Lock on or before the second Index Anniversary of a 3-year Term, or on or before the fifth Index Anniversary of a 6-year Term. These restrictions may limit your ability to react to changes in market conditions. You should consider whether investing in an Index Option is consistent with your financial needs.

Risks of Investing in Securities

Returns on securities and securities Indexes can vary substantially, which may result in investment losses. The historical performance of the available Allocation Options does not guarantee future results. It is impossible to predict whether underlying investment values will fall or rise. Trading prices of the securities underlying the Allocation Options are influenced by economic, financial, regulatory, geographic, judicial, political and other complex and interrelated factors. These factors can affect capital markets generally and markets on which the underlying securities are traded and these factors can influence the performance of the underlying securities.

If you allocate Purchase Payments or transfer Contract Value to an Index Option, your returns depend on the performance of an Index although you are not directly invested in the Index. Because the S&P 500® Index, Russell 2000® Index, Nasdaq-100® Index and EURO STOXX 50® are each comprised of a collection of equity securities, in each case the value of the component securities is subject to market risk, or the risk that market fluctuations may cause the value of the component securities to go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. In addition, the value of equity securities may decline for reasons directly related to the issuers of the securities.

S&P 500® Index. The S&P 500® Index is comprised of equity securities issued by large-capitalization U.S. companies. In general, large-capitalization companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, and also may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies.

Russell 2000® Index. The Russell 2000® Index is comprised of equity securities of small-capitalization U.S. companies. In general, the securities of small-capitalization companies may be more volatile and may involve more risk than the securities of larger companies.

The Nasdaq-100® Index is comprised of equity securities of the largest U.S. and non-U.S. companies listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market, including companies across all major industry groups except the financial industry. To the extent that the Nasdaq-100® Index is comprised of securities issued by companies in a particular sector, that company’s securities may not perform as well as companies in other sectors or the market as a whole. Also, any component securities issued by non-U.S. companies (including related depositary receipts) are subject to the risks related to investments in foreign markets (e.g., increased price volatility; changing currency exchange rates; and greater political, regulatory, and economic uncertainty).

securities may not perform as well as companies in other sectors or the market as a whole. Also, any component securities issued by non-U.S. companies (including related depositary receipts) are subject to the risks related to investments in foreign markets (e.g., increased price volatility; changing currency exchange rates; and greater political, regulatory, and economic uncertainty).

EURO STOXX 50®. EURO STOXX 50® is comprised of the equity securities of large-capitalization companies in the Eurozone. The securities comprising EURO STOXX 50® are subject to the risks related to investments in foreign markets (e.g., increased price volatility; changing currency exchange rates; and greater political, regulatory, and economic uncertainty), and are significantly affected by the European markets and actions of the European Union.

In recent years, the financial markets have experienced periods of significant volatility and negative returns, contributing

to an uncertain and evolving economic environment. The performance of the markets has been impacted by several

interrelating factors such as, but not limited to, the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical turmoil, rising inflation, changes in

interest rates, and actions by governmental authorities. It is not possible to predict future performance of the markets.

Depending on your individual circumstances (e.g., your selected Index Options and the timing of any Purchase

Payments, transfers, or withdrawals), you may experience (perhaps significant) negative returns under the Contract. You

should consult with a Financial Professional about how recent market conditions may impact your future investment

decisions related to the Contract, such as purchasing the Contract or making Purchase Payments, transfers, or

withdrawals, based on your individual circumstances.

Risk of Negative Returns

The Variable ~~Options~~Option dodoes not provide any protection against loss of principal. You can lose principal and previous earnings if you allocate Purchase Payments or transfer Contract Value to the Variable ~~Options~~ Option and such losses could be significant.

If you allocate Purchase Payments or transfer Contract Value to an Index Option, negative Index Returns may cause Performance Credits to be negative after application of the 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer. For the Index Performance Strategy, we apply the Buffer for the entire Term length; we do not apply the Buffer annually on a 3-year or 6-year Term Index Option. Ongoing deductions we make for Contract fees and expenses could also cause amounts available for withdrawal to be less than what you invested even if Index performance has been positive. You can lose principal and previous earnings if you allocate Purchase Payments or transfer Contract Value to the Index Options, and such losses could be significant. The maximum potential negative Performance Credit is based on the Buffer. If the Buffer is 10%, the maximum negative Performance Credit is ‑90%; if the Buffer is 20%, the maximum negative Performance Credit is ‑80%; and if the Buffer is 30%, the maximum negative Performance Credit is ‑70%. Such losses will be greater if you take a withdrawal (including any financial adviser fees that you choose to have us pay from this Contract) that is subject to a withdrawal charge, or is a deduction of Contract fees and expenses.

The Daily Adjustment is how we calculate Index Option Values on Business Days other than the Term Start Date or Term End Date. The Variable ~~Options~~Option ~~are~~is not subject to the Daily Adjustment. The Daily Adjustment can affect the amounts available for withdrawal, Performance Locks, annuitization, payment of the death benefit, and the Contract Value used to determine the contract maintenance charge. The Daily Adjustment can be less than the Trigger Rate or Cap even if the current Index return during the Term is greater than the Trigger Rate or Cap. In addition, even though the current Index return during the Term may be positive, the Daily Adjustment may be negative due to changes in Proxy Value inputs, such as volatility, dividend yield, and interest rate. The Daily Adjustment is generally negatively affected by:

•

interest rate decreases,

•

dividend rate increases,

•

poor market performance, and

•

the expected volatility of Index prices. Increases in the expected volatility of Index prices negatively affect the Index ~~Protection~~Dual NYPrecision Strategy, ~~1-year~~Index ~~Term~~Precision Strategy, and Index Performance Strategy 1-year Term Index Options. For the Index Performance Strategy 3-year and 6-year Term Index Options, the impact of changes in the expected volatility of Index prices is dependent on the market environment and the applicable Caps and Participation Rates.

The Daily Adjustment for ~~3-year and 6-year Term~~ Index Options ~~may~~with bea ~~more~~Term ~~negatively~~length ~~impacted by changes to interest rates, dividend rates, market performance and the expected volatility~~ of ~~Index~~more ~~prices~~ than 1- year ~~Term Index Options because the longer Term length amplifies the impact of these market parameters on the expected Index Option Value at the Term End Date.~~ (3-year and 6-year Term Index Options ~~with~~and Early Reallocation to a ~~Participation~~1-year ~~Rate~~Term ~~above~~Index ~~100%~~Option) may ~~also~~be ~~have~~more ~~larger~~negatively ~~fluctuations~~impacted by changes in the ~~Daily~~expected ~~Adjustment than Index Options either without a Participation Rate, or with a Participation Rate~~

volatility of Index prices than 1-year Term Index Options due to the difference in Term length. Also, the risk of a negative Daily Adjustment is greater for Index Options with a Term length of more than 1 year than for 1-year Term Index Options due to the Term length. 3-year and 6-year Term Index Options with a Participation Rate above 100% may also have larger fluctuations in the Daily Adjustment than Index Options either without a Participation Rate, or with a Participation Rate equal to 100%. For shorter Term lengths, there is more certainty in both the final Index Values and how Trigger Rates, Caps, and Buffers determine Performance Credits. This means there may be less fluctuation in the Daily Adjustment due to changes in Index return for Index Options with shorter Term lengths.

If you take a withdrawal from an Index Option before the Term End Date, you could lose principal and previous earnings because of the Daily Adjustment even if Index performance is positive on that day or has been positive since the Term Start Date. If the current Index return during the Term is negative, the Daily Adjustment could result in losses greater than the protection provided by the 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer. In extreme circumstances, the Daily Adjustment could result in a loss beyond the protection of the Buffer. The maximum potential loss from a negative Daily Adjustment is -99%. Such losses will be greater if you take a withdrawal (including any financial adviser fees that you choose to have us pay from this Contract) that is subject to a withdrawal charge, or is a deduction of Contract fees and expenses.

Managed Volatility Variable Option Risk

As described in more detail in the Variable Options’ prospectuses, certain Variable Options affiliated with us employ a managed volatility strategy that is intended to reduce the Variable Option’s overall volatility and downside risk. A Variable Option’s managed volatility strategy can negatively impact the value of your Contract and its benefits. During rising markets, the hedging strategies employed to manage volatility could result in your Contract Value rising less than would have been the case if you had been invested in a Variable Option without a managed volatility strategy. In addition, the cost of these hedging strategies may negatively impact performance. Variable Options that employ a managed volatility strategy are identified in Appendix C – Variable Options Available Under the Contract.

Risks Associated with Calculation of Performance Credits

We calculate Performance Credits each Term on the Term End Date. Because we calculate Index Returns only on a single date in time, you may experience negative or flat performance even though the Index you selected for a given Crediting Method experienced gains through some, or most, of the Term. IfThe ~~you~~Trigger ~~allocate~~Rates ~~Purchase~~on ~~Payments~~the orIndex ~~transfer Contract~~Dual ~~Value~~Precision toStrategy ~~the~~and Index Precision Strategy Index Options, and the Caps on Index Performance Strategy Index Options limit positive returns and could cause performance to be lower than it would otherwise have been if you invested in a mutual fund designed to track the performance of the applicable Index, or the Variable ~~Options~~Option. For the Index Performance Strategy, we apply the Cap and any Participation Rate for the entire Term length; we do not apply the Cap and any Participation Rate annually on a 3-year or 6-year Term Index Option.

The Index Options do not directly participate in the returns of the Indexes or the Indexes’ component securities, and do not receive any dividends payable on these securities. Index returns would be higher if they included the dividends from the component securities. The past ten years of actual average of the annual Index returns without and with dividends would have been as follows:

	January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2022
	S&P 500® Index	Nasdaq-100® Index	Russell 2000® Index	EURO STOXX 50®
Returns without dividends	11.56%	17.69%	8.95%	4.47%
Returns with dividends	13.70%	18.96%	10.38%	8.04%

[To be updated by amendment]

Caps and Participation Rates may be adjusted on the next Term Start Date and may vary significantly from Term to Term. Changes to Caps and Participation Rates may significantly affect the amount of Performance Credit you receive. For more information, see the “Risks Associated with Changes to Caps and Participation Rates, and Temporary Unavailability of Index Options” discussion later in this section.

	January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2023

Returns without dividends	[XX] %	[XX] %	[XX] %	[XX] %
Returns with dividends	[XX] %	[XX] %	[XX] %	[XX] %

Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates may be adjusted on the next Term Start Date and may vary significantly from Term to Term. Changes to Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates may significantly affect the Performance Credit you receive. For more information, see the “Risks Associated with Changes to Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates, and Temporary Unavailability of Index Options” discussion later in this section.

The Crediting Methods only capture Index Values on the Term Start Date and Term End Date, so you will bear the risk that the Index Value might be abnormally low on these days.

Risks Associated with Performance Locks

If a Performance Lock is executed:

•

You will no longer participate in Index performance, positive or negative, for the remainder of the Term for the locked Index Option. This means that under no circumstances will your Index Option Value increase during the remainder of the Term for a locked Index Option, and you will begin a new Index Option with a new Term Start Date on the next Index Anniversary that occurs on or immediately after the Lock Date unless you execute an Early Reallocation (if available to you).

•

You will not receive a Performance Credit on any locked Index Option on the Term End Date.

Allianz Index Advantage® +SM New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – ~~May 1~~[MMDD], ~~2023~~2024

2021

•

We use the Daily Adjustment calculated at the end of the current Business Day on the Lock Date to determine your locked Index Option Value. This means you will not be able to determine in advance your locked Index Option Value, and it may be higher or lower than it was at the point in time you requested a ~~manual~~ Performance Lock. This means that, if you request a Performance Lock, your Index Option Value will lock at an unknown future value which may be higher or lower than it was ~~when~~at the point in time you requested a Performance Lock. If you set targets, your Index Option Value may lock at a higher value than an upper target you set, or may lock at a lower value than a lower target you set. You may request a Performance Lock or set upper and/or lower targets through your account on our website.

•

If a Performance Lock is executed when your Daily Adjustment has declined, you will lock in any loss. It is possible that you would have realized less of a loss or no loss if the Performance Lock occurred at a later time, or if the Index Option was not locked.

We will not provide advice or notify you regarding whether you should execute a Performance Lock or Early Reallocation or the optimal time for doing so. We will not warn you if you execute a Performance Lock or Early Reallocation at a sub-optimal time. We are not responsible for any losses related to your decision whether or not to execute a Performance Lock or Early Reallocation.

Risks Associated with Early Reallocation

Early Reallocation allows you to transfer amounts from the Variable Option on days other than an Index Anniversary, and/or from locked Index Options on days other than a Term End Date, subject to these restrictions:

•

We do not accept Early Reallocation requests before the Index Effective Date, or within 14 calendar days before an Index Anniversary.

•

You are limited to two Early Reallocation requests each Index Year, but each request can involve the Variable Option and/or multiple locked Index Options.

•

After your second Early Reallocation request in an Index Year, you cannot transfer Variable Account Value to the Index Options for the remainder of the Index Year, and any locked Index Options will remain locked until the next Index Anniversary.

•

There may be times when Early Reallocation is temporarily unavailable to you, possibly for an extended period of time. However, we cannot permanently eliminate Early Reallocation, and a temporarily unavailable Index Option will become available once we can support its minimum Early Reallocation Trigger Rate or Cap.

These limitations mean you may not be able to take advantage of any increases to Early Reallocation rates, or any advantageous changes to Index values that may become available at the optimal time. Also, Early Reallocation Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates you receive may be less than the Early Reallocation rates that become available later in the Index Year, or the renewal rates available on the next Index Anniversary. This may limit your return potential.

We will not provide advice or notify you regarding whether you should execute an Early Reallocation or the optimal

time for doing so. We will not warn you if you execute an Early Reallocation at a sub-optimal time. We are not

responsible for any losses related to your decision whether or not to execute an Early Reallocation.

Risks Associated with Substitution of an Index

There is no guarantee that the Indexes will be available during the entire time that you own your Contract. Once we add an Index to your Contract, we cannot remove it without simultaneously substituting it. If we substitute a new Index for an existing Index, the performance of the new Index may be different and this may affect your ability to receive positive Performance Credits. We may substitute a new Index for an existing Index if:

•

the Index is discontinued,

•

we are unable to use the Index because, for example, changes to an Index make it impractical or expensive to purchase derivative hedging instruments to hedge the Index, or we are not licensed to use the Index, or

•

the method of calculation of the Index Values changes substantially, resulting in significantly different Index Values and performance results. This could occur, for example, if an Index altered the types of securities tracked, or the weighting of different categories of securities.

If we add or substitute an Index, we first seek any required regulatory approval from the New York Department of Financial Services and then provide you with written notice. We also provide you with written notice if an Index changes its name. Index substitutions can occur either on a Term Start Date or during a Term. If we substitute an Index during a Term, we will combine the return of the previously available substituted Index from the Term Start Date to the substitution date with the return of the new Index from the substitution date to the Term End Date. If we substitute an Index during a Term the Buffers, Caps, and Participation Rates for the substituted Index will apply to the new Index. We do not change the Buffers, Caps, or Participation Rates that were in effect on the Term Start Date.

~~Similarly,~~ Allianz ~~if we substitute an~~ Index onAdvantage+SM New aYork ~~Term~~Variable ~~Start~~Annuity ~~Date,~~Prospectus ~~the~~– ~~applicable Buffer~~[MMDD], ~~and minimum Cap or Participation Rate will not change.~~2024

Changes to Caps and Participation Rates associated with the new Index, if any, may occur at the next regularly scheduled Term Start Date, subject to their respective minimums. Depending on the constitution of the substituted Index, the volatility of its investments, and our ability to hedge the Index’s performance, we may determine, in our discretion, to increase or decrease renewal Caps and Participation Rates associated with the new Index, subject to their respective minimums. However, we would not implement any change to reflect this difference until the next Term Start Date after the substitution. The substitution of an Index during a Term may result in an abnormally large change in the Daily Adjustment on the day we substitute the Index due to changes in Proxy Value inputs (such as volatility, dividend yield, and interest rate). However, you would only be affected by this change in the Daily Adjustment if a normal transaction to which the Daily Adjustment applies (such as a withdrawal you take) occurs on the substitution date. 22

date with the return of the new Index from the substitution date to the Term End Date. If we substitute an Index during a Term, the Buffers, Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates for the substituted Index will apply to the new Index. We do not change the Buffers, Trigger Rates, Caps, or Participation Rates that were in effect on the Term Start Date.

Similarly, if we substitute an Index on a Term Start Date, the applicable Buffer, and minimum Trigger Rate, Cap, or Participation Rate will not change.

Changes to Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates associated with the new Index, if any, may occur at the next regularly scheduled Term Start Date, subject to their respective minimums. Depending on the constitution of the substituted Index, the volatility of its investments, and our ability to hedge the Index’s performance, we may determine, in our discretion, to increase or decrease renewal Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates associated with the new Index, subject to their respective minimums. However, we would not implement any change to reflect this difference until the next Term Start Date after the substitution. The substitution of an Index during a Term may result in an abnormally large change in the Daily Adjustment on the day we substitute the Index due to changes in Proxy Value inputs (such as volatility, dividend yield, and interest rate). However, you would only be affected by this change in the Daily Adjustment if a normal transaction to which the Daily Adjustment applies (such as a withdrawal you take) occurs on the substitution date.

The selection of a substitution Index is in our discretion; however, it is anticipated that any substitute Index will be substantially similar to the Index it is replacing and we will substitute any equity Index with a broad-based equity index.

Risks Associated with Changes to Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates, and Temporary Unavailability of Index Options

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%.

Subject to their respective minimums, we establish the initial Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates for a newly issued ~~Allianz~~Contract on the Index ~~Advantage®~~Effective ~~New~~Date ~~York~~and ~~Variable~~they ~~Annuity~~cannot ~~Prospectus~~change –until ~~May~~the 1next Term Start Date. You select the Index Effective Date when you purchase your Contract. It can be any Business Day from the Issue Date up to and including the first Quarterly Contract Anniversary, ~~2023~~but it cannot be the 29th, 30th, or 31st of a month.

21 You should be aware that, generally, initial Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates could change every seven calendar days. However, these rates are guaranteed to be available during the period stated on our website at allianzlife.com/RILAratesny and cannot be superseded until that period ends. If you select an Index Effective Date that is within the guaranteed period for the initial rates that are available for review on the date you signed your application, you will receive the initial rates that were available on the date you signed your application. However, if you select an Index Effective Date that is after this guaranteed period, you are subject to the risk that initial Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates may change and be less advantageous to you. You are responsible for reviewing the initial rates before your Index Effective Date to ensure your allocations and the product still meet your needs. Furthermore, if your Index Effective Date is after the end of the free look period and you cancel the Contract, you will receive the Cash Value. On or before the Index Effective Date, the Daily Adjustment does not apply. You may review future rates at least seven calendar days before their effectiveness at allianzlife.com/RILAratesny, or call (800) 624-0197. You (or your Financial Professional, if authorized) can change your Index Effective Date at any time before it occurs to be an earlier or later date by submitting a request.

We will send you a letter at least 30 days before each Index Anniversary. This letter advises you that current Caps and Participation Rates are expiring, and that renewal rates for the next Term Start Date will be available for your review. The Index Anniversary letter also reminds you of your opportunity to transfer Variable Account Value and Index Option Values on the upcoming Term End Date. On each Term End Date you have the option of remaining allocated to your current Index Options (if available) at the renewal Caps and Participation Rates that we set on the next Term Start Date, or transferring to another permitted Allocation Option, subject to the limitations on transfers from an Index Option to a Variable Option. At least seven calendar days before each Index Anniversary we publish renewal rates for the next Term Start Date for your review in your account on our website, and on our public website at allianzlife.com/indexratesny, or call (800) 624-0197. If you do not review renewal change information when it is published, or take no action to transfer to another permitted Allocation Option, you will remain allocated to your current Index Options (if available) and will automatically become subject to the renewal Caps and Participation Rates until the next Term End Date. 23

~~You risk the possibility that the renewal Caps and Participation Rates you receive may be less than you would find acceptable.

If you transfer these assets to an Index Option, they will not be eligible to receive a Performance Credit until at least the second Index Anniversary after an Index Option becomes temporarily unavailable because they can only be allocated to an Index Option on an Index Anniversary. When your renewal rates change or Index Options become unavailable you can either transfer Index Option Value to the Variable Options, or to other available Index Options, or take a full withdrawal (which is subject to a withdrawal charge).

~~Initial~~ You risk the possibility that the renewal Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates you receive may be less than you would find acceptable. If you do not find the renewal rates acceptable, you must give us transfer instructions no later than the end of the Business Day on the Term End Date (or the next Business Day if the Term End Date is a non-Business Day) or you will be subject to these renewal Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates for the next Term. You also risk the possibility that we may ~~vary~~make ~~significantly~~Index ~~depending~~Options ~~upon~~temporarily unavailable if we are unable to support the minimum Trigger Rate or Cap on that Index Option. When your renewal rates change, or Index Options become temporarily unavailable, you can either transfer Index Option Value to the Variable Option or to other available Index Options by changing your allocation instructions, or take a ~~variety~~full withdrawal (which is subject to a withdrawal charge). If we temporarily make an Index Option unavailable, we will transfer the assets held in or destined for the temporarily unavailable Index Option to the Variable Option and the assets will remain there until either, (1) we receive a change to allocation instructions that results in a transfer of these assets to available Index Option(s), or (2) you execute an Early Reallocation. If you transfer these assets to an available Index Option, they will not be eligible to receive a Performance Credit until at ~~factors~~ least the second Index Anniversary after an Index Option becomes temporarily unavailable. To avoid having Index Option Value transferred to the Variable Option when an Index Option becomes temporarily unavailable, ~~including:~~you must change your allocation instructions and select Index Options that are available. Such a change will result in a transfer of this Index Option Value to another available Index Option. We must receive this change before the end of the Business Day on the Term Start Date (or the next Business Day if the Term Start Date is a non-Business Day).

You can transfer from the Variable Option and/or locked Index Options and begin a new Index Option with a new Term Start Date and a new Trigger Rate, Cap, or Participation Rate before the next Index Anniversary by requesting an Early Reallocation. We can change Early Reallocation Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates subject to the guaranteed minimums, in our discretion. We publish Early Reallocation rates at least seven calendar days before the end of the current Early Reallocation offering period for your review in your account on our website. If you do not execute an Early Reallocation, you will remain allocated to the Variable Option, and/or your current locked Index Options, until the Index Anniversary that occurs on or immediately after the Lock Date. However, we can make all Index Options temporarily unavailable for Early Reallocation at any time, which means there may be times when Early Reallocation is unavailable to you.

Initial, renewal, and Early Reallocation Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates may vary significantly depending upon a variety of factors, including:

•

market volatility,

•

our hedging strategies and investment performance,

•

the availability of hedging instruments,

•

the amount of money available to us through Contract fees and expenses to purchase hedging instruments,

Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – May 1, 2023

•

your Index Effective Date,

•

the level of interest rates,

•

utilization of Contract benefits by Owners, and

•

our profitability goals.

Due to a combination of factors, including potential changes in interest rates and other market conditions (e.g. rising inflation), the current economic environment is evolving. The future impact on initial ~~and~~, renewal, and Early Reallocation Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates cannot be predicted with certainty. The effect of a change in interest rates or other market conditions may not be direct or immediate. There may be a lag in changes to Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates. Interest rates could increase. In a rising interest rate environment, increases in Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates, if any, may be substantially slower than increases in interest rates.

We manage our obligation to provide Performance Credits in part by trading call and put options, and other derivatives on the available Indexes. The costs of the call and put options and other derivatives vary based on market conditions, and we may adjust future renewal and Early Reallocation Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates to reflect these cost changes. The primary factor affecting the differences in the initial Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates for newly issued Contracts and renewal and Early Reallocation rates for existing Contracts is the difference in what we can earn from these investments for newly issued Contracts versus what we are earning on the investments that were made, and are being held to maturity, for existing Contracts. In some instances, we may need to reduce initial ~~and~~, renewal ~~Caps and Participation Rates~~, ~~or we may need to~~and ~~substitute~~ Early anReallocation ~~Index. You bear the risk that we may reduce Caps and Participation Rates, which reduces your opportunity to receive positive Performance Credits.~~

We cannot make the following Index Performance Strategy Index Options temporarily unavailable: 1-year Term with 10% Buffer, 3-year Term with 10% Buffer, and 6-year Term with 10% Buffer. We establish the Index Options that we cannot make temporarily unavailable for your Contract on the Issue Date and we cannot change them.

On the Issue Date, we establish for each Index Option whether we can make the Index Option temporarily unavailable on the Index Effective Date or an Index Anniversary (or both) and, if so, when. Similarly, for any new Index Option we add to your Contract after the Issue Date, we establish whether we can make the new Index Option temporarily unavailable on an Index Anniversary and, if so, when. Once we establish this rule for a given Index Option, we cannot change it. With notice we may make Index Options in Group B temporarily unavailable for a year or more on the Index Effective Date or an Index Anniversary (or both), and Index Options in Group C temporarily unavailable for a year or more on an Index Anniversary occurring on or after the sixth Index Anniversary. We can also make all Index Options temporarily unavailable for Early Reallocation at any time. We can make Index Options temporarily unavailable if, due to yield on investments or the availability or cost of hedging, we are unable to support the minimum Trigger Rate or Cap. We cannot make an Index Option temporarily unavailable during a Term, or for any other reason. We cannot make Group A Index Options temporarily unavailable on the Index Effective or an Index Anniversary.

Temporary unavailability of an Index Option may:

•

•

result in all Index Options within ~~the Index~~Group ~~Protection~~B NYor ~~Strategy~~Group ~~being~~C being unavailable., and

However, we cannot make an Index Option permanently unavailable after we issue your Contract, and a temporarily unavailable Index Option will become available once we can support its minimum Cap. Although we cannot make an Index Option permanently unavailable or remove it from your Contract after the Issue Date, we can substitute an Index as discussed under “Substitution of an Index” in this section. You bear the risk that the Index Protection NY Strategy Index Options and Index Performance Strategy 3-year Term with 20% Buffer Index Options may be periodically unavailable, possibly for an extended period of time, which reduces your opportunity to receive positive Performance Credits, and may also increase your risk of loss because the increased protection provided by the 20% Buffer is not available.•

You also bear the risk that there may be times when Early Reallocation is temporarily unavailable to you, possibly for an extended period of time, which reduces your opportunity to take advantage of any increases to Early Reallocation rates, or any advantageous changes to Index values that may become available at the optimal time. This may limit your return potential.

Risks Associated with Investment in Derivative Hedging Instruments

The Index Options are supported by bonds and other fixed income securities which are also used to support the Contract guarantees, cash, and derivative hedging instruments used to hedge the movements of the applicable Index.

At Contract issue, we invest a substantial majority of the initial Contract Value allocated to the Index Options in fixed income securities, with most of the remainder invested in derivative hedging instruments. The derivative hedging instruments are purchased to track and hedge Index movements and support our obligations with regard to the Index Options. The derivative hedging instruments we purchase include put options, call options, futures, swaps, and other derivatives.

The Index Options move assets in the unregistered separate account between a book value subaccount and a market value subaccount during the Index Year based on Index performance. We typically transfer assets between the subaccounts if there is a 10% incremental change in year-to-date Index performance. This starts when the decrease in the market exceeds the applicable Buffer. We monitor year-to-date Index performance daily and change allocations daily if needed. For more information on our unregistered separate account backing the Index Options, see section 12, Other Information – Our Unregistered Separate Account.

We currently limit our purchase of derivative hedging instruments to liquid securities. However, like many types of derivative ~~Allianz~~hedging ~~Index~~instruments, ~~Advantage®~~these ~~New~~securities ~~York~~may ~~Variable~~be ~~Annuity~~volatile ~~Prospectus~~and –their ~~May~~price 1may vary substantially. In addition, ~~2023~~because we pay Performance Credits regardless of the performance of derivative hedging instruments we purchase, we may incur losses on hedging mismatches or errors in hedging. We may incur additional costs if the costs of our hedging program increase due to market conditions or other factors. Our overall experience with hedging securities may affect renewal and Early Reallocation Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates for existing Contracts.

there is a 10% incremental change in year-to-date Index performance. For the Index Performance Strategy this starts at a -10% decrease in the market; for the Index Protection NY Strategy, this starts at a -30% decrease in the market. We monitor year-to-date Index performance daily and change allocations daily if needed based on this 10% increment. For more information on our unregistered separate account backing the Index Options, see section 12, Other Information – Our Unregistered Separate Account. 25

Risks of Deducting Financial Adviser Fees from the Contract

If you have an investment adviser and want to pay their financial adviser fees from this Contract, you can instruct us to withdraw the fee from your Contract and pay it to your adviser. Once authorized by you, the investment adviser requests each fee payment by submitting a letter of instruction that includes the fee amount. 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 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), ~~and~~ are subject to income taxes (~~including~~and may also be subject to a 10% additional federal tax iffor amounts ~~you~~withdrawn ~~are~~before ~~younger than~~ age 59 1∕2). Please consult with your Financial Professional before requesting us to pay financial adviser fees from this Contract rather than from other assets you may have.

Risks Associated with Our Financial Strength and Claims-Paying Ability

We make Annuity Payments, pay death benefits, and apply Performance Credits from our general account. Our general account assets are subject to claims by our creditors, and any payment we make from our general account is subject to our financial strength and claims-paying ability.

The assets in our unregistered separate account, Separate Account IANY are also subject to claims by our creditors. You can obtain information on our financial condition by reviewing our financial statements in this prospectus. For more information see section 12, Other Information – Our Unregistered Separate Account.

Regulatory Protections

Allianz Life of New York is not an investment company and therefore we are not registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the protections provided by this Act are not applicable to the guarantees we provide. The Separate Account is, however, registered as an investment company. Any allocations you make to an Index Option are not part of the Separate Account. Allianz Life of New York is not an investment adviser and so is not subject to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and does not provide investment advice to you in connection with your Contract.

Your Contract is registered in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933 and the offering of the Contract must be conducted in accordance with the requirements of this Act. In addition, the offer and sale of the Contract is subject to the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Contract is filed with and approved by New York. State insurance laws provide a variety of regulatory protections.

1. The Contract

An annuity is a contract between you as the Owner, and an insurance company (in this case Allianz Life of New York), where you make payments to us and we invest that money in the Allocation Options you select. Depending on market conditions, your Contract may gain or lose value based on the returns of your selected Allocation Options. When you are ready to take money out, we make payments to you according to your instructions and any restrictions associated with the payment option you select that is described in this prospectus. Other than to add benefits that are beneficial to you, we do not make any changes to your Contract without your permission except as may be required by law.

Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – May 1, 2023

The Contract has an Accumulation Phase and an Annuity Phase.

The Accumulation Phase is the first phase of your Contract, and it begins on the Issue Date. During the Accumulation Phase, we invest your money in the Allocation Options you select on a tax-deferred basis. Tax deferral may not be available for certain non-individually owned contracts. Tax deferral means you are not taxed on any earnings or appreciation on the assets in your Contract until you take money out of your Contract. (For more information, see section 11, Taxes.)

During the Accumulation Phase, you can take withdrawals (subject to any withdrawal charge) and you can make additional Purchase Payments subject to the restrictions set out in section 3, Purchase Requirements.

When the Accumulation Phase Ends

The Accumulation Phase ends upon the earliest of the following.

•

The Business Day before the Annuity Date.

•

The Business Day we process your request for a full withdrawal.

Allianz Index Advantage+SM New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – [MMDD], 2024

•

Upon the death of any Owner (or the Annuitant if the Owner is a non-individual), the Business Day we first receive a Valid Claim from any one Beneficiary, unless the surviving spouse/Beneficiary continues the Contract. If there are multiple Beneficiaries, the remaining Contract Value continues to fluctuate with the performance of the Allocation Options until the complete distribution of the death benefit. A Valid Claim is the documents we require to be received in Good Order at our Service Center before we pay any death claim.

If you request Annuity Payments, the Accumulation Phase of your Contract ends and you enter the Annuity Phase. During the Annuity Phase, we make regular fixed periodic Annuity Payments based on the life of the Annuitant(s), or life and term certain. We send Annuity Payments to the Payee (the person or entity who receives Annuity Payments during the Annuity Phase). You can choose when Annuity Payments begin, subject to certain restrictions. We base Annuity Payments on your Contract Value and the payout rates for the Annuity Option you select. Your Annuity Payments do not change unless an Annuitant dies. The Annuity Phase ends when we make the last Annuity Payment under your selected Annuity Option. For more information, see section 8, The Annuity Phase.

Financial Adviser Fees

If you have a financial adviser and want to take a withdrawal from this Contract to pay your financial adviser fee, you can submit a written request to our Service Center by completing our third party money management customer authorization of transfer form and fee redemption authorization form. If we approve your request, we withdraw the requested fees and pay them to your Financial Professional or Financial Professional’s firm as instructed. The fee redemption authorization is an agreement between you and your Financial Professional and/or the Financial Professional's firm. The agreement authorizes us to deduct financial adviser fees from the Contract and send them to the Financial Professional or the Financial Professional's firm upon written request. You can terminate this agreement at any time by providing us written notice. We retain the right to request an updated fee redemption authorization form at any time.

Once authorized by you, the Financial Professional or Financial Professional’s firm requests each fee payment by submitting a letter of instruction that includes the fee amount. We treat this fee payment as a withdrawal which means it is subject to a withdrawal charge, ~~federal~~income taxes, and ~~state~~may ~~income~~also ~~taxes,~~be ~~and~~subject to a 10% additional federal tax iffor ~~you~~amounts ~~are~~withdrawn ~~under~~before age 59 1∕2,. ~~and~~The ~~the~~ amount of Contract Value available for withdrawal may also be affected by the Daily Adjustment (which can be negative). We deduct financial adviser fees (including any withdrawal charge) proportionately from each Allocation Option ~~unless you provide us with alternate instructions~~. This withdrawal reduces the Contract Value and the amount available under the free withdrawal privilege by the dollar amount withdrawn. It may also reduce your Contract's Guaranteed Death Benefit Value proportionately by the percentage of Contract Value withdrawn, which may reduce this value by more than the amount withdrawn and these reductions could be significant.

If this is a Non-Qualified Contract, a withdrawal will be a taxable withdrawal to the extent that gain exists within the Contract. Financial adviser fees paid from any type of IRA Contract (including IRA, Roth IRA, SEP IRA, Inherited IRA and Inherited Roth IRA) will not be treated as a taxable withdrawal as long as the annuity contract is solely liable for the payment of the financial adviser fee. You should consult a tax adviser regarding the tax treatment of financial adviser fee payments. Please consult with your Financial Professional before requesting us to pay financial adviser fees from this Contract rather than from other assets you may have.

Your financial adviser acts on your behalf, not ours. We are not party to any agreement between you and your financial adviser, nor are we responsible for your financial adviser’s actions. We do not verify that withdrawals for financial adviser fees align with the terms of your agreement with your financial adviser, but we verify that payments are made in accordance with the fee redemption authorization agreement you submit to us. We do not set your financial adviser fee or receive any part of it. Any withdrawals for financial adviser fees you pay is in addition to this Contract’s fees and expenses.

We pay sales commissions to the selling firms and their Financial Professionals. The maximum commission payable to the selling firms for Contract sales is expected to not exceed 7% of Purchase Payments. Sometimes, we enter into an agreement with a selling firm to pay commissions as a combination of a certain amount of the commission at the time of sale and a trail commission which, when totaled, could exceed 7% of Purchase Payments. Financial Professionals and their managers may also be eligible for various benefits such as production incentive bonuses, insurance benefits, and non-cash compensation items that we may provide jointly with our principal underwriter, Allianz ~~Index~~Life ~~Advantage®~~Financial Services, LLC. You should ask your financial adviser about compensation they receive for this Contract. Allianz Life of New York ~~Variable~~is ~~Annuity~~not ~~Prospectus~~an –investment adviser, ~~May~~and 1does not provide investment advice in connection with sales of the Contract.

You can submit a written request to our Service Center on a form satisfactory to us to allow your financial adviser to make Allocation Option transfers and allocation changes on your behalf. However, we reserve the right to review a financial adviser’s trading history before allowing him or her to make transfers. If, in our sole discretion, we believe the financial adviser’s trading history indicates excessive trading, we can deny your request. If we approve it, your financial adviser is subject to the same trading restrictions that apply to Owners. We can deny or revoke trading authority in our sole discretion.

Financial Adviser Fee Deduction Example

These calculations show the effects of withdrawing financial adviser fees on the Contract Value and available Guaranteed Death Benefit Value. These withdrawals (including any withdrawal charges) immediately reduce the Contract Value on a dollar for dollar basis, and reduce the Traditional Death Benefit’s Guaranteed Death Benefit Value by the percentage of Contract Value withdrawn.

The example assumes a withdrawal of $5,000 once per year on days that are not Term End Dates to pay financial adviser fees starting when the Contract Value is $100,000, and the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value under the Traditional Death Benefit is $90,000. The first withdrawal assumes that there is no amount remaining under the free withdrawal privilege for that year, so that withdrawal is subject to an 8% withdrawal charge. Subsequent withdrawals are all taken under the free withdrawal privilege. All fractional numbers in these examples have been rounded up to the next whole number. All Contract Value figures reflect the Daily Adjustment.

Financial Adviser Fee Withdrawal	Contract Value	Traditional Death Benefit’s Guaranteed Death Benefit
Prior to 1st years withdrawal	$ 100,000	$ 90,000
$5,000 withdrawal (subject to an
8% withdrawal charge)	– [($5,000 ÷ (1 – 8%)]
Amount withdrawn	– $5,435	– [($5,435 ÷ 100,000) x 90,000]
		= - $4,891
After 1st years withdrawal	$ 94,565	$ 85,109

Prior to 2nd years withdrawal	$ 97,000	$ 85,109
$5,000 withdrawal (not subject to a
withdrawal charge)	– $5,000	– [($5,000 ÷ 97,000) x 85,109]
		= - $4,387
After 2nd years withdrawal	$ 92,000	$ 80,722

Prior to 3rd years withdrawal	$ 80,000	$ 80,722
$5,000 withdrawal (not subject to a
withdrawal charge)	– $5,000	– [($5,000 ÷ 80,000) x 80,722]
		= - $5,045
After 3rd years withdrawal	$ 75,000	$ 75,677

Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – May 1, 2023

The death benefit is the greater of the Contract Value, or the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value, so the death benefit would be:

•

$94,565 Contract Value after the first adviser fee deduction.

•

$92,000 Contract Value after the second adviser fee deduction.

•

$75,677 Guaranteed Death Benefit Value after the third adviser fee deduction.

When the Contract Ends

The Contract ends when:

•

all applicable phases of the Contract (Accumulation Phase and/or Annuity Phase) have ended, and/or

•

if we received a Valid Claim, all applicable death benefit payments have been made.

For example, if you take a full withdrawal of the total ~~Contract~~Cash Value, both the Accumulation Phase and the Contract end even though the Annuity Phase never began and we did not make any death benefit payments.

Allianz Index Advantage+SM New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – [MMDD], 2024

2. Ownership, Annuitant, Determining Life, Beneficiary, and Payee

Owner

The Owner designated at Contract issue has all the rights under the Contract. The Owner may be an individual, or a non-individual (such as a trust or other entity acting as an agent for a natural person). Qualified Contracts and non-individually owned Contracts can only have one Owner. A Qualified Contract is purchased under a pension or retirement plan that qualifies for special tax treatment under sections of the Code.

Joint Owner

A Non-Qualified Contract can be owned by up to two individual Owners (Joint Owners). Joint Owners must be spouses within the meaning of federal tax law. We generally require the signature of both Joint Owners on ~~any~~ any forms that are submitted to our Service Center.

Annuitant

The Annuitant is the individual on whose life we base Annuity Payments. Subject to our approval, you designate an Annuitant when you purchase a Contract. For Qualified Contracts, before the Annuity Date, the Owner must be the Annuitant unless the Contract is owned by a qualified plan or is part of a custodial arrangement. You can change the Annuitant on an individually owned Non-Qualified Contract at any time before the Annuity Date. You cannot change the Annuitant if the Owner is a non-individual. Subject to our approval, you can add a joint Annuitant on the Annuity Date. For Qualified Contracts, the ability to add a joint Annuitant is subject to any plan requirements associated with the Contract. For individually owned Contracts, if the Annuitant who is not an Owner dies before the Annuity Date, the sole Owner (or younger Joint Owner) automatically becomes the new Annuitant, but the Owner can subsequently name another Annuitant.

Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – May 1, 2023

Designating different persons as Owner(s) and Annuitant(s) can have important impacts on whether a death benefit is paid, and on who receives it as indicated below. For more examples, please see the Appendix A to the Form N-4 SAI. Use care when designating Owners and Annuitants, and consult your Financial Professional if you have questions.

UPON THE DEATH OF A SOLE OWNER
Action if the Contract is in the Accumulation Phase	Action if the Contract is in the Annuity Phase
• If this is an Inherited IRA Contract the Beneficiary can either: – continue to receive RMD payments based on the remaining life expectancy of the deceased Owner and the Contract Value as of the Business Day we receive a Valid Claim, until ten years after the Owner’s death at which time we make a lump sum payment, or – receive a lump sum payment of the Contract Value as of the Business Day we receive a Valid Claim. • For all other Contracts, we pay a death benefit to the Beneficiary unless the Beneficiary is the surviving spouse and continues the Contract. • If the deceased Owner was a Determining Life and the surviving spouse Beneficiary continues the Contract: – we increase the Contract Value to equal the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value if greater and available, and the death benefit ends, – the surviving spouse becomes the new Owner, – the Accumulation Phase continues, and – upon the surviving spouse’s death, his or her Beneficiary(s) receives the Contract Value. • If the deceased Owner was not a Determining Life, the Traditional Death Benefit is not available and the Beneficiary(s) receives the Contract Value.	• The Beneficiary becomes the Payee. If we are still required to make Annuity Payments under the selected Annuity Option, the Beneficiary also becomes the new Owner. • If the deceased was not an Annuitant, Annuity Payments to the Payee continue. No death benefit is payable. • If the deceased was the only surviving Annuitant, Annuity Payments end or continue as follows. – Annuity Option 1 or 3, payments end. – Annuity Option 2 or 4, payments end when the guaranteed period ends. – Annuity Option 5, payments end and the Payee may receive a lump sum refund. – For more information on the Annuity Options, please see section 8. • If the deceased was an Annuitant and there is a surviving joint Annuitant, Annuity Payments to the Payee continue during the lifetime of the surviving joint Annuitant. No death benefit is payable. • For a Qualified Contract, the Annuity Payments must end ten years after the Owner’s death.
• If this is an Inherited IRA Contract, the Beneficiary can either: – continue to receive RMD payments based on the remaining life expectancy of the deceased Owner and the Contract Value as of the Business Day we receive a Valid Claim, until ten years after the Owner’s death at which time we make a lump sum payment, or – receive a lump sum payment of the Contract Value as of the Business Day we receive a Valid Claim. • For all other Contracts, we pay a death benefit to the Beneficiary unless the Beneficiary is the surviving spouse and continues the Contract. • If the deceased Owner was a Determining Life and the surviving spouse Beneficiary continues the Contract: – we increase the Contract Value to equal the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value if greater and available, and the death benefit ends, – the surviving spouse becomes the new Owner, – the Accumulation Phase continues, and – upon the surviving spouse’s death, his or her Beneficiary(ies) receives the Contract Value. • If the deceased Owner was not a Determining Life, the Traditional Death Benefit is not available and the Beneficiary(ies) receives the Contract Value.	• The Beneficiary becomes the Payee. If we are still required to make Annuity Payments under the selected Annuity Option, the Beneficiary also becomes the new Owner. • If the deceased was not an Annuitant, Annuity Payments to the Payee continue. No death benefit is payable. • If the deceased was the only surviving Annuitant, Annuity Payments end or continue as follows. – Annuity Option A or C, payments end when the guaranteed period ends. – Annuity Option B, F, or G, payments end. – For more information on the Annuity Options, please see section 8. • If the deceased was an Annuitant and there is a surviving joint Annuitant, Annuity Payments to the Payee continue during the lifetime of the surviving joint Annuitant. No death benefit is payable. • For a Qualified Contract, the Annuity Payments must end ten years after the Owner’s death.

Allianz Index Advantage+SM New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – [MMDD], 2024

Determining Life (Lives)

The Determining Life (Lives) are the individuals on whose life we base the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value provided by the Traditional Death Benefit. We establish the Determining Life (Lives) at Contract issue. For an individually owned Contract, the Determining Life (Lives) are the Owner(s). For a non-individually owned Contract, the Determining Life is the Annuitant. After the Issue Date, the Determining Life (Lives) only change if:

•

you remove a Joint Owner due to divorce, then we also remove that person as a Determining Life, or

•

you establish a jointly owned Non-Qualified Contract and change ownership to a Trust, then we remove the prior Owner who is not the Annuitant as a Determining Life.

Beneficiary

The Beneficiary is the person(s) or entity you designate to receive any death benefit. You can change the Beneficiary or contingent Beneficiary at any time before your death unless you name an irrevocable Beneficiary. If a Beneficiary dies before you, or you and a Beneficiary die simultaneously, that Beneficiary’s interest in this Contract ends unless your Beneficiary designation specifies otherwise. You and a Beneficiary are deemed to have died simultaneously if it is not established by clear and convincing evidence that either you or the Beneficiary survived the other by 120 hours. If there are no surviving Beneficiaries or if there is no named Beneficiary, we pay the death benefit to your estate or the Owner if the Owner is a non-individual.

FOR JOINTLY OWNED CONTRACTS: The sole primary Beneficiary is the surviving Joint Owner regardless of any

other named primary Beneficiaries. If both Joint Owners die simultaneously, we pay the death benefit to the named

surviving primary Beneficiaries. If there are no named surviving primary Beneficiaries, we pay the death benefit to the

named surviving contingent Beneficiaries, or equally to the estate of the Joint Owners if there are no named surviving

contingent Beneficiaries.

Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – May 1, 2023

Payee

The Payee is the person or entity who receives Annuity Payments during the Annuity Phase. The Owner receives tax reporting on those payments. Generally, we require the Payee to be an Owner. However, you can name a charitable trust, financial institution, qualified plan, or an individual specified in a court order as a Payee. For Qualified Contracts owned by a qualified plan, the qualified plan must be the Payee.

Assignments, Changes of Ownership and Other Transfers of Contract Rights

You can assign your rights under this Contract to someone else during the Accumulation Phase. An assignment may be absolute or limited, and includes changes of ownership, collateral assignments, or any other transfer of specific Contract rights. After an assignment, you may need the consent of the assignee of record to exercise certain Contract rights depending on the type of assignment and the rights assigned.

~~The Contract cannot be assigned without our consent.~~ You must submit your request to assign the Contract in writing to our Service Center ~~and~~.

3. Purchasing the Contract

Purchase Requirements

To purchase this Contract, on the Issue Date, all Owners and the Annuitant must be age 8085 or younger.

The Purchase Payment requirements for this Contract are as follows.

•

The minimum initial Purchase Payment due on the Issue Date is $10,000.

•

~~You~~We ~~can~~restrict ~~make~~ additional Purchase Payments. ofEach ~~$50~~Index orYear ~~more~~ during the Accumulation Phase, you cannot add more than your initial amount without our prior approval. Your initial amount is the total of all Purchase Payments received before the first Quarterly Contract Anniversary of the first Contract Year. We allow you to add up to the initial amount in the remainder of the first Index Year. The minimum additional Purchase Payment we will accept is $50.

•

We do not accept additional Purchase Payments on or after the Annuity Date.

•

If this is an Inherited IRA or Inherited Roth IRA Contract, the death benefit proceeds of the previous tax-qualified investment were directly transferred into this Contract, and we do not accept additional Purchase Payments (see section 11, Taxes – Qualified Contracts – Inherited IRA).

•

The maximum total Purchase Payments we accept is $10 million.

We may, at our sole discretion, waive the minimum Purchase Payment requirements.

Once we receive your initial Purchase Payment and all necessary information in Good Order at our Service Center, we issue the Contract within two Business Days and allocate your payment to your selected Allocation Options. If the Issue Date is the same as the Index Effective Date, we apply any part of your initial Purchase Payment you allocate to the Index Options directly to the Index Options. If the Issue Date is not the Index Effective Date, we hold any part of your initial Purchase Payment you allocate to the Index Options in the AZL Government Money Market Fund before we transfer it to your selected Index Options. If you do not give us all of the information we need, we contact you or your Financial Professional. If for some reason we are unable to complete this process within five Business Days, we either send back your Purchase Payment or get your permission to keep it until we get all of the necessary information. If you make additional Purchase Payments, we add this money to your Contract on the Business Day we receive it in Good Order.

If you submit a Purchase Payment and/or application to your Financial Professional, we do not begin processing the payment and/or application until we receive it.

Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – May 1, 2023

We can only decline a Purchase Payment if it is less than $50, would cause total Purchase Payments to be more than $10 million, or if we receive it on or after the Annuity Date. If mandated under applicable law, we may be required to reject a Purchase Payment.

Applications Sent Electronically

We accept manually signed applications that are in Good Order and are sent by fax, or email, or uploaded to our website. It is important to verify receipt of any faxed application, or to receive a confirmation number when using email or the web. We are not liable for applications that we do not receive. A manually signed application sent by fax, email or over the web is considered the same as an application delivered by mail. Our electronic systems (fax, email or website) may not always be available; any electronic system can experience outages or slowdowns which may delay application processing. Although we have taken precautions to help our system handle heavy use, we cannot promise complete reliability. If you experience problems, please submit your written application by mail to our Service Center. We reserve the right to discontinue or modify our electronic application policy at any time and for any reason.

Allocation of Purchase Payments and Contract Value Transfers

We do not accept additional Purchase Payments if you have an Inherited IRA, or Inherited Roth IRA Contract.

The allocation instructions you provide on your application automatically become your ~~Purchase Payment~~ default ~~instructions. (In your Contract, Purchase Payment default instructions are called future~~ allocation instructions.) We use these allocation ~~default~~ instructions for all Purchase Payments we receive unless you change them~~, or give us alternate allocation instructions specific to an individual Purchase Payment~~. WeAny ~~only~~change ~~allow Purchase Payments~~ to ~~move~~allocation into the available Index Options on the Index Effective Date and on subsequent Index Anniversaries. As a result, we hold Purchase Payments allocated to the Index Options we receive on days other than the Index Effective Date or an Index Anniversary in the AZL Government Money Market Fund until we transfer them to your selected Index Options (if available) according to your Purchase Payment default instructions. Onwill ~~the~~replace ~~Index~~any ~~Effective~~existing ~~Date~~allocation ~~we rebalance or reallocate your total Contract Value among all of your available selected Allocation Options according to your Purchase Payment default~~ instructions. ~~For~~and ~~additional~~will ~~Purchase Payments~~be weused ~~receive~~as ~~after~~ the ~~Index Effective~~basis ~~Date,~~for ~~this~~transfers ~~transfer~~between ~~occurs on the next Index Anniversary~~ and ~~does~~among ~~not involve a reallocation of your total Contract Value.

Anniversary according to your allocation instructions. However, for Purchase Payments held in the Variable Option, you can make an Early Allocation request, which will result in a transfer from the Variable Option to the applicable Index Option(s) before the next Index Anniversary.

We apply any Purchase Payments allocated to the Index Options we receive on the Index Effective Date or on an Index Anniversary directly to the Index Options (if available) on that day; these Purchase Payments are generally not held in the Variable Option. However, if your allocation instructions include any Index Options that are temporarily unavailable on the Index Effective Date or an Index Anniversary, we will transfer the assets destined for the temporarily unavailable Index Options to the Variable Option and those assets will remain there until either, (1) we receive a change to allocation instructions that results in a transfer of these assets to available Index Option(s), or (2) you execute an Early Reallocation. To avoid having Index Option Value transferred to the Variable Option when an Index Option becomes temporarily unavailable, you must change your allocation instructions to transfer this Index Option Value to another available Index Option. We must receive this change before the end of the Business Day on the Term Start Date (or the next Business Day if the Term Start Date is a non-Business Day).

We only allow Variable Account Value transfers into Index Options on an Index Anniversary, unless you execute an Early Reallocation. You can choose to transfer assets allocated to and/or otherwise held in the Variable Option due to:

•

Purchase Payments you allocated to the Index Options,

•

a Contract Value increase to equal the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value due to the death of a Determining Life, or

•

an Index Option becoming temporarily unavailable.

We typically only allow  Index Option Value transfers between Index Options, or into the Variable Option, on Term End Dates. However, you can transfer between Index Options before the Term End Date by executing a Performance Lock and an Early Reallocation. We do not allow assets to move into an established Index Option until the Term End Date. If you request to transfer into an established Index Option on an Index Anniversary that is not a Term End Date, we will transfer those assets into the same Index Option (if available) with a new Term Start Date.

You select the Index Effective Date when you purchase your Contract. It can be any Business Day up to and including the first Quarterly Contract Anniversary, but it cannot be the 29th, 30th or 31st of a month.

On your application if you select…	Your Index Effective Date will be either…
the earliest Index Effective Date	• your Issue Date, or • the first Business Day of the next month if the Issue Date is the 29th, 30th, or 31st of a month
the deferred Index Effective Date	• your first Quarterly Contract Anniversary, or • the next Business Day if the first Quarterly Contract Anniversary occurs on a non-Business Day, or the first Business Day of the next month if the first Quarterly Contract Anniversary is the 29th, 30th, or 31st of a month

You should be aware that, generally, initial Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates could change every seven calendar days. However, these rates are guaranteed to be available during the period stated on our website at allianzlife.com/~~indexratesny~~RILAratesny and cannot be superseded until that period ends. If you select an Index Effective Date that is within the guaranteed period for the initial rates that are available for review on the date you signed your application, you will receive the initial rates that were available on the date you signed your application. However, if you select an Index Effective Date that is after this guaranteed period, you are subject to the risk that initial Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates may change and be less advantageous to you. Furthermore, if your Index Effective Date is after the end of the free look period and you cancel your Contract, you will receive the Cash Value. On or before the Index Effective Date, the Daily Adjustment does not apply. You may review future rates at least seven calendar days before their effectiveness at allianzlife.com/RILAratesny. You (or your Financial Professional, if authorized) can change your Index Effective Date at any time before it occurs to be an earlier or later date by submitting a request. However, your new Index Effective Date cannot be later than the deferred Index Effective Date listed above. We must receive your request in Good Order at our Service Center before the end of the Business Day on which you want the Index Effective Date to occur. Once your Index Effective Date occurs, all Index Options for your Contract will have the same Index Anniversary.

You can change your allocation instructions at any time without fee or penalty. These changes are effective on the Business Day we ~~Allianz~~receive ~~Index~~them ~~Advantage®~~in ~~New~~Good ~~York~~Order ~~Variable~~at ~~Annuity~~our ~~Prospectus~~Service –Center. ~~May~~We 1,accept ~~2023~~changes to allocation instructions from any Owner unless you instruct otherwise.

application, you will receive the initial rates that were available on the date you signed your application. However, if you select an Index Effective Date that is after this guaranteed period, you are subject to the risk that initial Caps and Participation Rates may change and be less advantageous to you. Furthermore, if your Index Effective Date is after the end of the free look period and you cancel your Contract, you will receive the Contract Value less withdrawal charge and contract maintenance charge. On or before the Index Effective Date the Daily Adjustment does not apply. You may review future rates at least seven calendar days before their effectiveness at allianzlife.com/indexratesny. You (or your Financial Professional, if authorized) can change your Index Effective Date at any time before it occurs to be an earlier or later date by submitting a request. However, your new Index Effective Date cannot be later than the deferred Index Effective Date listed above. We must receive your request in Good Order at our Service Center before the end of the Business Day on which you want the Index Effective Date to occur. Once your Index Effective Date occurs, all Index Options for your Contract will have the same Index Anniversary.

You can change your Purchase Payment default instructions at any time without fee or penalty. These changes are effective on the Business Day we receive them in Good Order at our Service Center. We accept changes to Purchase Payment default instructions from any Owner unless you instruct otherwise. We may allow you to authorize someone else to change these default instructions on your behalf. Changes to your Purchase Payment default instructions do not reallocate or transfer existing Index Option Values on the Term End Date. To reallocate Index Option Value on the Term End Date you must give us transfer instructions.

We notify you at least 30 days in advance of each Index Anniversary as a reminder that on the upcoming anniversary you may transfer Variable Account Value to the Index Options, and you may transfer Index Option Value between Index Options or to the Variable Options. Transfers between Allocation Options do not change your Purchase Payment default instructions. For more information, see section 5, Variable Options – Electronic Transfer and Allocation Instructions. On each Term End Date, if we have not received transfer instructions from you, and you are not participating in the 1-year Term Index Option reallocation program, all assets invested continue to be invested in the same Index Options (if available) with new Term Start Dates at the renewal Caps and Participation Rates.

We can add new Crediting Methods, Terms, and Indexes to your Contract in the future, and you can allocate Purchase Payments or transfer Contract Value to them on the next Index Anniversary after we make them available to you. Once we add a Crediting Method to your Contract we cannot remove it, or change how it calculates Performance Credits. Any new Index Option we add to your Contract after issue will indicate if it can be made temporarily unavailable or not. If we add a new Index Option to your Contract, we cannot change its Buffer after it is established. For a new Index Option the minimum Buffer is 5%. However, we can change the renewal Caps and Participation Rates associated with any Index Option on each Term Start Date subject to the guaranteed minimums.

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. If we make an Index Option temporarily unavailable, we do not change your Purchase Payment default instructions. If you have assets in an Index Option that we make temporarily unavailable, or if you allocate a Purchase Payment or request to transfer into an Index Option that we later make temporarily unavailable, and you do not provide us with alternate allocation instructions before the end of the Business Day on the Term Start Date the Index Option becomes temporarily unavailable (or the next Business Day if the Term Start Date is a non-Business Day), we will transfer any assets held in or destined for a temporarily unavailable Index Option to the AZL Government Money Market Fund and the assets will remain there until we receive alternate instructions. You can transfer these assets from the AZL Government Money Market Fund at any time to the Variable Options, or on the next Index Anniversary you can transfer them to an Index Option. If you transfer these assets to an Index Option, they will not be eligible to receive a Performance Credit until at least the second Index Anniversary after an Index Option becomes temporarily unavailable because they can only be allocated to an Index Option on an Index Anniversary.

You can transfer Variable Account Value among the Variable Options on any Business Day, except that any amount held in the AZL Government Money Market Fund that is set to be allocated to an Index Option on the Index Effective Date or an Index Anniversary will not be transferred to the Index Option if it is transferred to another Variable Option.

Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – May 1, 2023

• In order to apply Purchase Payments we receive after the Index Effective Date to your selected Index Option(s) on the next Index Anniversary, we must receive them before the end of the Business Day on the Index Anniversary (or before the end of the prior Business Day if the anniversary is a non-Business Day). • Variable Options are subject to Contract fees and expenses (e.g. contract maintenance charge) and market risk. Assets you allocate to them may lose value, including any Purchase Payments we hold in the AZL Government Money Market before transferring them to your selected Index Options.

Automatic Investment Plan (AIP)

The AIP makes additional Purchase Payments to the Contract during the Accumulation Phase on a monthly or quarterly basis by electronic money transfer from your savings, checking or brokerage account. You can participate in AIP by completing our AIP form. Our Service Center must receive your form in Good Order by the 15th of the month (or the next Business Day if the 15th is a non-Business day) in order for AIP to begin that same month. We process AIP Purchase Payments on the 20th of the month, or the next Business Day if the 20th is a non-Business Day. We allocate AIP Purchase Payments according to your Purchase Payment default instructions which must comply with the allocation requirements and restrictions stated in this section. If your Purchase Payment default instructions include a temporarily unavailable Index Option we will continue to hold those assets in the AZL Government Money Market Fund until we receive alternate instructions. You can transfer these assets from the AZL Government Money Market Fund at any time to the Variable Options, or on the next Index Anniversary you can transfer them to an Index Option. If you transfer these assets to an Index Option, they will not be eligible to receive a Performance Credit until at least the second Index Anniversary after an Index Option becomes temporarily unavailable because they can only be allocated to an Index Option on an Index Anniversary. We must receive your request to stop or change AIP at our Service Center before the end of the last Business Day immediately before the Business Day we process AIP to make the change that month. If you choose to begin Annuity Payments, AIP ends automatically on the last Business Day before the Annuity Date. We reserve the right to discontinue or modify AIP at any time and for any reason.

For Owners of Qualified Contracts, AIP is not available if you have an Inherited IRA Contract, an Inherited Roth IRA Contract, or if your Contract is funding a plan that is tax qualified under Section 401 of the Code.

Free Look/Right to Examine Period

If you change your mind about owning the Contract, you can cancel it within ten days after receiving it. We return your Contract Value as of the Business Day we receive your cancellation request in Good Order. This may be more or less than your initial Purchase Payment. If your cancellation request occurs after the Index Effective Date, your Contract Value will include the Daily Adjustment for amounts allocated to the Index Options. If you have an IRA Contract, we refund your Purchase Payments less withdrawals, or Contract Value, if greater. For IRA Contracts, we reserve the right to hold your initial Purchase Payment in the AZL Government Money Market Fund until the free look period ends, and then re-allocate your money, less fees and expenses, according to your Purchase Payment default instructions. If we exercise this right, the Contract Value we use to determine your refund amount on a cancellation request will not include the Daily Adjustment as the Index Effective Date will not yet have occurred. We do not assess a withdrawal charge or deduct any Contract fees or expenses other than the M&E charge if you cancel your Contract during the free look period. If you take a withdrawal (including financial adviser fees that you choose to have us pay from this Contract) that is subject to a withdrawal charge and then cancel your Contract during the free look period, we will refund any previously deducted withdrawal charge upon cancellation. In the Contract, the free look provision is also called the right to examine.

on your behalf. However, we must receive allocation instruction changes (which will transfer your Index Option Values) in Good Order at our Service Center before the end of the Business Day on the Term End Date (or the next Business Day if the Term End Date is a non-Business Day). Changes to your allocation instructions will transfer existing Variable Account Value and Index Option Values on the Term End Date.

We notify you at least 30 days in advance of each Index Anniversary as a reminder that on the upcoming anniversary you may transfer Variable Account Value to the Index Options, or you may transfer Index Option Value between Index Options or to the Variable Option. In order to make a transfer between Allocation Options, you must provide us with allocation instruction changes in Good Order. For more information, see the “Electronic Allocation Instructions” discussion next in this section. On each Term End Date, if we have not received allocation instruction changes from you, all assets invested continue to be invested in the same Index Options with new Term Start Dates (if available) at the renewal Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates.

We can add new Crediting Methods, Terms, and Indexes to your Contract in the future, and you can allocate Purchase Payments or transfer Contract Value to them on the Term Start Date after we make them available to you. Once we add a Crediting Method to your Contract we cannot remove it, or change how it calculates Performance Credits. Any new Index Option we add to your Contract after issue will indicate whether it can be made temporarily unavailable and, if so, when. If we add a new Index Option to your Contract, we cannot change its Buffer after it is established. For a new Index Option, the minimum Buffer is 5%. However, we can change the renewal and Early Reallocation Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates associated with any Index Option on each Term Start Date subject to the guaranteed minimums.

With notice we may make Index Options temporarily unavailable if we are unable to support the minimum Trigger Rate or Cap on that Index Option. If we make an Index Option temporarily unavailable, we do not change your allocation instructions. We will transfer any assets held in or destined for a temporarily unavailable Index Option to the AZL Government Money Market Fund if you do not change your allocation instructions to transfer to another available Index Option before the end of the Business Day on the Term Start Date (or the next Business Day if the Term Start Date is a non-Business Day). These assets will remain there until either, (1) we receive a change to allocation instructions that results in a transfer of these assets to available Index Option(s), or (2) you execute an Early Reallocation. If you transfer these assets to an available Index Option, they will not be eligible to receive a Performance Credit until at least the second Index Anniversary after an Index Option becomes temporarily unavailable.

• In order to apply Purchase Payments we receive after the Index Effective Date to your selected Index Option(s) on

the next Index Anniversary, we must receive them before the end of the Business Day on the Index Anniversary (or

before the end of the prior Business Day if the anniversary is a non-Business Day).

• The Variable Option is subject to Contract fees and expenses (e.g. contract maintenance charge) and market risk.

Assets you allocate to it may lose value, including any Purchase Payments or other assets we hold in the Variable

Option before transferring them to your selected Index Options.

Electronic Allocation Instructions

We use reasonable procedures to confirm that electronic allocation instructions given to us are genuine. If we do not use such procedures, we may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions. We record telephone instructions and log all fax, email and website instructions. We reserve the right to deny any allocation instruction change, and to discontinue or modify our electronic instruction privileges at any time for any reason.

Please note that telephone, fax, email and/or the website may not always be available. Any electronic system, whether it is ours, yours, your service provider’s, or your Financial Professional’s, can experience outages or slowdowns for a variety of reasons, which may delay or prevent our processing of your allocation instruction change. Although we have taken precautions to help our systems handle heavy use, we cannot promise complete reliability. If you are experiencing problems, you should submit your instructions in writing to our Service Center.

By authorizing electronic instructions, you authorize us to accept and act upon these instructions for your Contract. There are risks associated with electronic communications that do not occur with a written request. Anyone authorizing or making such requests bears those risks. You should protect your website password, because the website is available to anyone with your password; we cannot verify that the person providing instructions on the website is you, or is authorized by you.

Determining Variable Account Value

The Separate Account holds the assets you allocate to the Variable ~~Options~~Option, including Purchase Payments held in the AZL Government Money Market Fund before we transfer them to the Index Options. The Separate Account is divided into subaccounts, each of which invests exclusively in the shares of athe ~~single~~ Variable Option.

We convert amounts you allocate to athe Variable Option into subaccount accumulation units. Each subaccount’s daily price (accumulation unit value) is based on the Variable Option’s price. A Variable Option’s price is typically determined at the end of each Business Day, and any Purchase Payment received at or after the end of the current Business Day receives the next Business Day’s price. A Variable Option's price reflects deduction of its operating expenses.

We calculate your Variable Account Value at the end of each Business Day by multiplying each subaccount’s accumulation unit value by its number of accumulation units, and adding those results together for all subaccounts.

Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – May 1, 2023

On the Issue Date, the number of accumulation units in each subaccount is equal to the amount allocated to the subaccount divided by its accumulation unit value. At the end of each Business Day, the number of subaccount accumulation units:

•

increase when ~~you add assets to a Variable Option by Purchase Payment or Contract Value transfer, and~~:

−

you add assets to the Variable Option by Purchase Payment or allocation instruction changes that transfer Index Option Value, or

−

we hold assets in the Variable Option due to the addition of Purchase Payments destined for the Index Options, a Contract Value increase due to death, or an Index Option becoming temporarily unavailable; and

•

decrease ~~when assets are removed from a Variable Option by transfer, withdrawals you request (including any financial adviser fees that you choose to have us pay from this~~ ~~Contract), or~~ when ~~we deduct Contract fees and expenses other than the M&E charge. The M&E charge reduces the subaccount accumulation unit value, not the number of subaccount accumulation units.~~:

−

you remove assets from the Variable Option by making allocation instruction changes that transfer Variable Account Value, Early Reallocation, or taking withdrawals (including any financial adviser fees that you choose to have us pay from this Contract), or

−

we transfer assets held in the Variable Option to the Index Option(s) pursuant to your allocation instructions, or we deduct Contract fees and expenses other than the M&E charge. The M&E charge reduces the subaccount accumulation unit value, not the number of subaccount accumulation units.

We arbitrarily set the initial accumulation unit value for each subaccount. At the end of each Business Day, we determine the new accumulation unit value for each subaccount by multiplying the prior Business Day’s accumulation unit value by the Variable Option’s percentage change in price since the prior Business Day. The percentage change in price includes the Variable Option’s market performance and the assessed M&E charge.

Example

•

We receive at our Service Center an additional Purchase Payment of $3,000 from you before the end of the Business Day.

•

When the New York Stock Exchange closes on that Business Day, we determine that the accumulation unit value is $13.25 for the subaccount of your selected Variable Option.

•

We then divide $3,000 by $13.25 and credit your Contract that night with 226.415094 subaccount accumulation units for your selected Variable Option.

How the Crediting Methods Work

The Index ~~Protection~~ NYDual Precision Strategy provides a Performance Credit based on Index Values and Index Return.

•

IfYou ~~the~~receive ~~Index~~a ~~Return is positive, the~~ Performance Credit is equal to the ~~Index~~ ~~Return~~Trigger upRate toif the ~~Cap.~~Index Value on the Term End Date is:

−

equal to or greater than the Index Value on the Term Start Date, regardless of the amount of actual Index Return.

Allianz Index Advantage+SM New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – [MMDD], 2024

−

less than the Index Value on the Term Start Date and the loss is less than or equal to the 10% Buffer.

•

If the Index ~~Value~~Return onis negative and the ~~Term~~loss ~~End~~is ~~Date~~greater than the 10% Buffer, the negative Performance Credit is equal to the negative Index ~~Value~~Return onin excess of the ~~Term~~ ~~Start~~10% ~~Date,~~Buffer. ~~the~~You ~~Performance~~participate ~~Credit~~in isany ~~zero~~losses beyond the 10% Buffer.

The Index Precision Strategy also provides a Performance Credit based on Index Values and Index Return.

•

If the Index Value on the Term End Date is equal to or greater than the Index Value on the Term Start Date, regardless of the amount of actual Index Return, the Performance Credit is equal to the Trigger Rate.

•

If the Index Return is negative and the loss is:

−

less than or equal to the 3010% Buffer, the Performance Credit is zero. We absorb any loss up to the 3010% Buffer.

−

greater than the 3010% Buffer, the negative Performance Credit is equal to the negative Index Return in excess of the 3010% Buffer. You participate in any losses beyond the 3010% Buffer.

The Index Performance Strategy also provides a Performance Credit based on Index Values and Index Return.

•

If the Index Return is positive, the Performance Credit is equal to:

−

the Index Return up to the Cap for a 1-year Term. If the 1-year Term is uncapped, the Performance Credit is equal to the Index Return.

−

Index Return multiplied by the Participation Rate, up to the Cap for a 3-year or 6-year Term. If the 3-year or 6-year Term is uncapped, the Performance Credit is equal to the Index Return multiplied by the Participation Rate. We apply the Participation Rate and Cap for the entire Term length; we do not apply the Participation Rate and Cap annually on a 3-year or 6-year Term.

•

If the Index Value on the Term End Date is equal to the Index Value on the Term Start Date, the Performance Credit is zero.

•

If the Index Return is negative and the loss is:

−

less than or equal to the 10%, 20%, or 2030% Buffer, the Performance Credit is zero. We absorb any loss up to the 10%, 20%, or 2030% Buffer. We apply the Buffer for the entire Term length; we do not apply the Buffer annually on a 3-year or 6-year Term Index Option.

−

greater than the 10%, 20%, or 2030% Buffer, the negative Performance Credit is equal to the negative Index Return in excess of the 10%, 20%, or 2030% Buffer. You participate in any losses beyond the 10%, 20%, or 2030% Buffer.

~~Allianz~~• The Index ~~Advantage®~~Dual ~~New~~Precision ~~York~~Strategy, ~~Variable~~Index ~~Annuity~~Precision ~~Prospectus~~Strategy, –and ~~May~~Index 1Performance Strategy allow negative Performance Credits. A negative Performance Credit means you can lose principal and previous earnings. The maximum potential negative Performance Credit is: -90% with a 10% Buffer, ~~2023~~-80% with a 20% Buffer, and -70% with a 30% Buffer. • Because we calculate Index Returns only on a single date in time, you may experience negative or flat performance even though the Index you selected for a given Crediting Method experienced gains through some, or most, of the Term. • If an Index Performance Strategy Index Option is “uncapped” for one Term (i.e., we do not declare a Cap for that Term) it does not mean that we will not declare a Cap for it on future Term Start Dates. On the next Term Start Date we can declare a Cap for the next Term, or declare it to be uncapped.

Comparing Crediting Methods

The Crediting Methods have different risk and return potentials.

	Index Protection NY Strategy	Index Performance Strategy
What is the asset protection?	• Most protection – has higher Buffers than the Index Performance Strategy. • Buffer absorbs 30% loss, but you receive a negative Performance Credit for losses greater than 30%. • Potential for large losses in any one Index Year. • Impacted by very large negative market movements because small and moderate negative market movements are absorbed by the 30% Buffer.	• Less protection – has lower Buffers than the Index Protection NY Strategy. • Buffer absorbs 10% or 20% of loss, but you receive a negative Performance Credit for losses greater than the 10% or 20% Buffer. • Potential for large losses in any Term. • More sensitive to large negative market movements because small negative market movements are absorbed by the 10% or 20% Buffer. In a period of extreme negative market performance, the risk of loss is greater with the Index Performance Strategy. • In extended periods of moderate to large negative market performance, 3-year and 6-year Terms may provide less protection than the 1-year Terms because, in part, the Buffer is applied over a longer period of time.
What is the growth opportunity?	• Less growth opportunity – generally has lower Caps than the Index Performance Strategy. • Growth opportunity limited by the Caps.	• Most growth opportunity – generally has higher Caps than the Index Protection NY Strategy. • Growth opportunity limited by the Caps and/or Participation Rates. If we do not declare a Cap for a 3-year or 6-year Term Index Option there is no maximum limit on the positive Index Return for that Index Option. In addition, you can receive more than the positive Index Return if the Participation Rate applies and is greater than its 100% minimum. However, the Participation Rate cannot boost Index Returns beyond a declared Cap. • May perform best in a strong market.

If this occurs on or before the Index Effective Date the Daily Adjustment does not apply. If this occurs after the Index Effective Date, you are subject to the Daily Adjustment. • Caps and Participation Rates can be different from Index Option to Index Option, and from Contract-to-Contract depending on Index Effective Date. For example, assume that on January 3, 2023 we set Caps for the Index Performance Strategy 1-year Term with 10% Buffer using the S&P 500® Index as follows: – 13% initial rate for new Contracts issued in 2023, – 14% renewal rate for existing Contracts issued in 2022, and – 12% renewal rate for existing Contracts issued in 2021.

Determining Index Option Values

We calculate an Index Option Value for each Index Option at the end of each Business Day. Generally, the Index Option Value is equal to the Index Option Base plus any applicable Daily Adjustment. The Daily Adjustment applies on Business Days other than the Term Start Date or the Term End Date. The Daily Adjustment can be positive or negative and is discussed later in this section.

On the first Term Start Date, both the Index Option Value and the Index Option Base for each of your selected Index Options are initially equal to the amount of:

•

any Purchase Payment received that day which you allocated to that Index Option, and

•

any Contract Value transferred into that Index Option.

At the end of each subsequent Business Day for each selected Index Option, we first either apply:

•

the Daily Adjustment if this is not the Term End Date, or

•

a Performance Credit if this is the Term End Date.

Allianz Index Advantage® +SM New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – ~~May 1~~[MMDD], ~~2023~~2024

3841

We calculate Performance Credits as described under “Calculating Performance Credits” ~~next~~ in this section and apply them as follows:

•

We multiply each Index Option Base by its Performance Credit and add this amount to its Index Option Base.

•

Then we set each Index Option Value equal to its new Index Option Base.

Lastly, we increase and/or decrease each Index Option Base and Index Option Value for additional Purchase Payments, transfers, partial withdrawals you take (including financial adviser fees that you choose to have us pay from this Contract and any withdrawal charge), and deductions we make for Contract fees and expenses.

•

Additional Purchase Payments received on the Term End Date and allocated to this Index Option, and transfers of Variable Account Value or Index Option Value into this Index Option, increase these values by the dollar amount allocated or transferred.

•

Transfers out of this Index Option reduce these values by the dollar amount removed from the Index Option.

•

Partial withdrawals you take (including financial adviser fees that you choose to have us pay from this Contract and any withdrawal charge), and deductions we make for Contract fees and expenses reduce these values by the dollar amount withdrawn from the Index Option.

−

We deduct partial withdrawals you take (including financial adviser fees that you choose to have us pay from this Contract and any withdrawal charge), and deductions we make for Contract fees and expenses from the Index Options proportionately based on the percentage of Contract Value in each Index Option using values determined at the end of the Business Day before we process the withdrawal or deduct the Contract expense. However, if you specifically direct us to take a partial withdrawal from a specific Index Option we reduce that Index Option Value by the dollar amount you specify (including any withdrawal charge).

−

We then reduce each Index Option Base by the same percentage that the amount withdrawn reduced its associated Index Option Value.

Example

•

Your Contract Value is $100,000 and you selected two Index Options. The first Index Option has an Index Option Value of $75,000 and an Index Option Base of $72,000. The second Index Option has an Index Option Value of $25,000 and an Index Option Base of $22,000. You take a $10,000 partial withdrawal (including any withdrawal charge).

•

This partial withdrawal reduces your Index Option Value by the percentage of Contract Value in each Index Option (Index Option Value ÷ Contract Value).

−

For the first Index Option this percentage is 75% ($75,000 ÷ $100,000) and the $10,000 partial withdrawal reduces this value by $7,500 ($10,000 x 75%). For the second Index Option this percentage is 25% ($25,000 ÷ $100,000) and the $10,000 partial withdrawal reduces this value by $2,500 ($10,000 x 25%).

•

We then reduce each Index Option Base by the same percentage that the amount withdrawn reduced its associated Index Option Value (amount withdrawn from Index Option Value ÷ Index Option Value).

−

For the first Index Option this percentage is 10% ($7,500 ÷ $75,000) and the $10,000 partial withdrawal reduces this value by $7,200 ($72,000 x 10%). For the second Index Option this percentage is also 10% ($2,500 ÷ $25,000) and the $10,000 partial withdrawal reduces this value by $2,200 ($22,000 x 10%).

•

Deductions we make for Contract fees and expenses also reduce these values proportionately in the same way as a partial withdrawal.

	First Index Option		Second Index Option
	Index Option Value	Index Option Base	Index Option Value	Index Option Base
Prior to partial withdrawal	$ 75,000	$ 72,000	$ 25,000	$ 22,000
$10,000 partial withdrawal	– $7,500	– $7,200	– $2,500	– $2,200

After partial withdrawal	$ 67,500	$ 64,800	$ 22,500	$ 19,800

However, you can specify from which Allocation Option we deduct a partial withdrawal and any financial adviser fees that you choose to have us pay from this Contract. There is no consistent financial advantage to deducting a partial withdrawal from any specific Allocation Option. 42

Calculating Performance Credits

We base Performance Credits on Index Values and Index Returns. We measure Index Values on the Term Start Date and Term End Date using the Index’s price at the end of the Business Day as provided by Bloomberg or another market source if Bloomberg is not available. If the Term Start Date or Term End Date is a non-Business Day we use the next Business Day’s Index price. If you select the EURO STOXX 50®, we determine Index Returns without any exchange rate adjustment. Because we calculate Index Returns only on Term End Dates, the Index Return does not necessarily reflect the highest or lowest Index Values that occurred during the Term.

Crediting Method and Term Length	If Index Value is less than it was on the Term Start Date (i.e., Index Return is negative):	If Index Value is equal to or greater than it was on the Term Start Date (i.e., Index Return is zero or positive):
Index Protection NY Strategy 1-year Term	Performance Credit is equal to the negative Index Return in excess of the 30% Buffer. If the Index Return is… • -12%, the Performance Credit is zero. • -32%, the Performance Credit is -2%.	Performance Credit is equal to the Index Return subject to the Cap set on the Term Start Date Assume the Cap is 5%. If the Index Return is… • 0%, the Performance Credit is zero. • 4%, the Performance Credit is 4%. • 12%, the Performance Credit is 5%.
Index Dual Precision Strategy 1-year Term	Performance Credit is equal to the Trigger Rate if the negative Index Return is less than or equal to the 10% Buffer. However, if the negative Index Return is greater than the 10% Buffer you receive a Performance Credit equal to the negative Index Return in excess of the 10% Buffer. If the Index Return is… • -8%, the Performance Credit is equal to the Trigger Rate set on the Term Start Date. • -12%, the Performance Credit is -2%.

Daily Adjustment

The Daily Adjustment can affect the amounts available for withdrawal, Performance Locks, annuitization, payment of the death benefit, and the Contract Value used to determine the RMD payments, and contract maintenance charge. The Daily Adjustment can be positive or negative. When the Daily Adjustment is positive, your Index Option Value has increased since the Term Start Date. When it is negative, your Index Option Value has decreased (excluding the effect of the deduction of Contract expenses or any partial withdrawal).

We calculate the Daily Adjustment for a given Business Day before we deduct any Contract fees or expenses or process any partial withdrawal on that Business Day, including Penalty-Free Withdrawals, and any financial adviser fees that you choose to have us pay from this Contract. The Daily Adjustment does not change the Contract fee or expense deducted, or the withdrawal amount; it only changes the Index Option Value from which we deduct the Contract fee or expense, or withdrawal.

Allianz Index Advantage+SM New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – [MMDD], 2024

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. The Daily Adjustment takes into account:

(i)

any Index gains during the Term subject to the applicable ~~Cap~~Trigger Rate, Cap, and/or Participation Rate,

(ii)

for the Index Dual Precision Strategy, any Index losses ~~greater~~less than ~~the~~or ~~10%,~~equal ~~20%,~~to orthe 3010% Buffer, ~~and~~

(iii)

either any Index losses greater than the 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer, and

(iv)

the number of days until the Term End Date.

The Daily Adjustment does this by using the hypothetical value of a Proxy Investment (Proxy Value) each Business Day, other than the Term Start Date or Term End Date, based on the formulas described in Appendix B. The Proxy Investment provides a current estimated present value of what the Performance Credit will be on the Term End Date taking into account the applicable Buffer, Trigger Rate, Cap, and/or Participation Rate. The Daily Adjustment is not the actual Index return on the day of the calculation, and the estimated present value Performance Credit is not guaranteed. Therefore, the Daily Adjustment could result in a loss beyond the protection of the Buffer. In extreme circumstances, the Daily Adjustment could result in a loss beyond the protection of the 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer. The maximum potential loss from a negative Daily Adjustment is -99%. Such losses will be greater if the amount withdrawn (including any financial adviser fees that you choose to have us pay from this Contract) is also subject to a withdrawal charge, or is a deduction of Contract fees and expenses.

A withdrawal taken during the Term may not receive the full benefit of the Buffer because the Daily Adjustment takes into account what may potentially happen between the withdrawal date and the Term End Date. All other factors being equal, even if the current Index return during the Term is greater than the Cap, or the Trigger Rate for the Index Dual Precision Strategy or Index Precision Strategy, the Daily Adjustment will usually be lower than the Cap or Trigger Rate. For the Index Precision Strategy, even if the current Index return during the Term is greater than or equal to zero, the Daily Adjustment will usually be lower than the Trigger Rate. For the Index Dual Precision Strategy, even if the Index return is greater than -10%, the Daily Adjustment will usually be lower than the Trigger Rate. This is because there is a possibility that the Index return could decrease before the Term End Date. Similarly, even though a negative Index return may be within the 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer, you still may receive a negative Daily Adjustment because there is a possibility that the Index Return could decrease before the Term End Date. The Daily Adjustment for Index Options with a Term length of more than 1 year may be more negatively impacted by changes in the expected volatility of Index prices than 1-year Term Index Options due to the difference in Term length. Also, the risk of a negative Daily Adjustment is greater for Index Options with a Term length of more than 1 year than for 1-year Term Index Options due to the Term length. 3-year and 6-year Term Index Options with a Participation Rate above 100% may also have larger fluctuations in the Daily Adjustment than Index Options either without a Participation Rate, or with a Participation Rate equal to 100%. A negative Daily Adjustment may cause you to realize loss of principal and previous earnings.

A negative Daily Adjustment may cause you to realize loss of principal and previous earnings.

The Daily Adjustment’s risks (including the impact on Contract Value used to determine Contract fees and charges) are discussed in more detail in Risk Factors – Risk of Negative Returns. The specific details of the Daily Adjustment formula are described in Appendix B and in Exhibit 99 of the Form S-1 Registration Statement filed with the SEC, of which this prospectus is a part.

Performance Locks

We must receive a ~~manual~~ Performance Lock request in Good Order before the end of the current Business Day to lock an Index Option on that day. Otherwise, the Lock Date will occur on the next Business Day that your request is in Good Order. We do not allow Performance Locks to occur on Term End Dates. For requests submitted in writing, we do not consider the request to be received until it arrives at our Service Center.

You (or your Financial Professional, if authorized) can request ana ~~automatic~~ Performance Lock based on targets you set only through your account on our website. ~~When you establish your account you must provide us with an email address.~~ You can set upper and/or lower targets for each Index Option each Term. Setting a target close to the current Index Option Value return (or close to the Daily Adjustment once Contract Value is reduced to zero) may cause a Performance Lock to occur very quickly. You can change or cancel targets at any time before we execute a Performance Lock. Each Index Option’s targets automatically expire on the earlier of the Lock Date, or the last Business Day before the Term End Date. You can also “over-ride” a target by requesting a manual Performance Lock before the target is reached. We determine if a target is reached using the Index Option Value return determined at the end of the prior Business Day using the prior day’s Daily Adjustment. We then execute the Performance Lock using the Index Option Value return determined at the end of Business Day on the Lock Date. By setting targets you are authorizing us to automatically execute a Performance Lock at the end of the Business Day on the Lock Date upon which the target is reached~~, unless you cancel the lock~~. We will send an email notice once the Daily Adjustment for an Index Option reaches a target. To cancel an automatic Performance Lock after a target is reached, we must receive your request in Good Order before the end of the Business Day on the Lock Date.

~~A Performance Lock can be executed once each Term for each of these Index Options. A Performance Lock~~ ~~applies~~ Allianz ~~to the total~~ Index Option Value in an Index Option, and not just a portion of that Index Option Value. We use the Daily Adjustment calculated at the end of the current Business Day on the Lock Date to determine your locked Index Option Value. This “locked” Index Option Value may be more or less than the “unlocked” Index Option Value that is available for your review on the Lock Date because the unlocked Index Option Value was determined at the end of the prior Business Day. After the Lock Date, the Index Option Value stays in the locked Index Option for the remainder of the Term. 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. For example, assume you selected one Index Option and your Index Option Value available for review in your account today is $20,326. If before the end of the Business Day you request a Performance Lock, today is your Lock Date. If your Index Option Value at the end of the Business Day is $20,250, you will lock in this $20,250 and it will not change until the next Index Anniversary.Advantage+SM ~~However,~~New ifYork ~~you~~Variable ~~take~~Annuity aProspectus ~~partial~~– ~~withdrawal (including financial adviser fees that you choose to have us pay from this Contract) or when we deduct a Contract fee or expense~~[MMDD], we deduct these amounts proportionately from the Index Option Values (unless you provide us with alternate instructions), which will decrease any locked Index Option Value.

This “locked” Index Option Value may be more or less than the “unlocked” Index Option Value that is available for your review on the Lock Date because the unlocked Index Option Value was determined at the end of the prior Business Day.

However, if you take a partial withdrawal (including financial adviser fees that you choose to have us pay from this Contract) or when we deduct a Contract fee or expense, we deduct these amounts proportionately from the Index Option Values, which will decrease any locked Index Option Value. On the next Index Anniversary that occurs on or immediately after the Lock Date, all locked Index Options will be unlocked, we will transfer the locked Index Option Value according to your instructions, and Daily Adjustments will again apply for the new Term. If you do not provide us with transfer instructions, the Index Option Value will remain in the same Index Option with a new Term Start Date subject to the renewal Trigger Rate, Cap, or Participation Rate for the new Term.

A Performance Lock can help eliminate doubt about future Index performance and possibly limit the impact of a negative Performance Credit you would otherwise receive. Because we transfer assets out of a locked Index Option on the Index Anniversary that occurs on or immediately after the Lock Date, executing a Performance Lock can also allow you to transfer assets out of a 3-year or 6-year Term Index Option before the Term End Date if you execute the lock on or before the second Index Anniversary of a 3-year Term, or on or before the fifth Index Anniversary of a 6-year Term. If the Index Anniversary occurs on a non-Business Day, the Performance Lock must be executed before the end of the prior Business Day in order to transfer assets out of a 3-year or 6-year Term Index Option before the Term End Date. The disadvantage of executing a Performance Lock is that the relevant Index Value could increase by the Term End Date, and you will not participate in that increase. In addition, if you execute a Performance Lock, you may receive less than the full protection of the Buffer that you would have received if you waited for us to apply the Performance Credit on the Term End Date.

We will not provide advice or notify you regarding whether you should execute a Performance Lock or the optimal

time for doing so. We will not warn you if you execute a Performance Lock at a sub-optimal time. We are not

responsible for any losses related to your decision whether or not to execute a Performance Lock.

We may substitute another Variable Option for one of your selected Variable Options, for any reason in our sole discretion. To the extent required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 or other applicable law, we do not substitute any shares without SEC approval and providing you notice. We may make substitutions with respect to your existing allocations, future Purchase Payment allocations, or both. New or substitute Variable Options may have different fees and expenses, and their availability may be limited to certain purchaser classes. We may limit further Variable Option allocations if marketing, tax or investment considerations warrant, or for any reason in our sole discretion. We may also close Variable Options to additional allocations. The fund companies that sell Variable Option shares to us, pursuant to participation agreements, may end those agreements and discontinue offering us their shares. 47

The following applies to any transfer.

•

Your request for a transfer must clearly state the Variable Options involved and how much to transfer.

•

Your right to make transfers is subject to the Excessive Trading and Market Timing policy discussed later in this section.

•

Variable Account Value transfers between Variable Options do not change your Purchase Payment default instructions.

Any amount held in the AZL Government Money Market Fund that is set to be allocated to an Index Option on the Index Effective Date or an Index Anniversary will not be transferred to the Index Option if it is transferred to another Variable Option.

We process transfer requests based on prices next determined after we receive your request in Good Order at our Service Center. If we do not receive your transfer request before the end of the current Business Day, even if due to our delay in answering your call or a delay caused by our electronic systems, you receive the next Business Day’s prices. For jointly

Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – May 1, 2023

owned Contracts, unless you require us to obtain signatures from both Joint Owners, we accept transfer instructions from any Joint Owner. We may also allow you to authorize someone else to request transfers on your behalf.

Electronic Transfer and Allocation Instructions

We use reasonable procedures to confirm that electronic transfer request or allocation instructions given to us are genuine. If we do not use such procedures, we may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions. We record telephone instructions and log all fax, email and website instructions. We reserve the right to deny any transfer request or allocation instruction change, and to discontinue or modify our electronic instruction privileges at any time for any reason.

Please note that telephone, fax, email and/or the website may not always be available. Any electronic system, whether it is ours, yours, your service provider’s, or your Financial Professional’s, can experience outages or slowdowns for a variety of reasons, which may delay or prevent our processing of your transfer request or allocation instruction change. Although we have taken precautions to help our systems handle heavy use, we cannot promise complete reliability. If you are experiencing problems, you should submit your instructions in writing to our Service Center.

Excessive Trading and Market Timing

Currently, the Contract does not offer any Variable Option other than the AZL Government Money Market Fund. If we

were to offer additional Variable Option(s) in the future they would be subject to the following provisions.

We discourage and do not accommodate frequent transfers. We may restrict or modify your right to make transfers to prevent any use that we consider to be part of a market timing program.

Frequent transfers, programmed transfers, transfers into and then out of a Variable Option in a short period of time, and transfers of large amounts at one time (collectively referred to as “potentially disruptive trading”) may have harmful effects for other Owners, Annuitants and Beneficiaries. These risks and harmful effects include the following.

•

Dilution of the interests of long-term investors in a Variable Option, if market timers or others transfer into a Variable Option at prices that are below their true value, or transfer out at prices above their true value.

•

An adverse effect on portfolio management, such as causing a Variable Option to maintain a higher level of cash or causing a Variable Option to liquidate investments prematurely.

•

Increased brokerage and administrative expenses.

We attempt to protect our Owners and the Variable Options from potentially disruptive trading through our Excessive Trading and Market Timing policies and procedures. Under these policies and procedures, we may modify your transfer privileges for some or all of the Variable Options as follows:

•

Limit transfer frequency (for example, prohibit more than one transfer a week, or more than two a month, etc.).

•

Restrict the transfer method (for example, requiring all transfers be sent by first-class U.S. mail and rescinding electronic transfer privileges).

•

Require a minimum time period between each transfer into or out of the same Variable Option. Our current Excessive Trading and Market Timing policy, which is subject to change without notice, prohibits “round trips” within 14 calendar days. We do not include transfers into and/or out of the AZL Government Money Market Fund when available in your Contract or any automatic transfers made under any of our programs or Contract features. Round trips are transfers into and back out of the same Variable Option, or transfers out of and back into the same Variable Option.

•

Refuse transfer requests made on your behalf by an asset allocation and/or market timing service.

•

Limit the dollar amount of any single Purchase Payment or transfer request to a Variable Option.

•

Prohibit transfers into specific Variable Options.

•

Impose other limitations or restrictions to the extent permitted by federal securities laws.

We also reserve the right to reject any specific Purchase Payment allocation or transfer request from any person if in the investment adviser’s, subadviser’s or our judgment, a Variable Option may be unable to invest effectively in accordance with its investment objectives and policies. This could occur, for example, where frequent or rapid trading causes the investment adviser to hold an excess of uninvested cash to meet redemption requests, or to sell investment positions to fund redemptions, thereby affecting Variable Option returns. Similarly, rapid or frequent trading may cause a Variable Option to incur excessive transaction fees, which also could affect performance.

We retain some discretion in determining what actions constitute potentially disruptive trading and in determining when and how to ~~Allianz~~impose ~~Index~~trading ~~Advantage®~~restrictions. ~~New~~Currently, ~~York~~we ~~Variable~~attempt ~~Annuity~~to ~~Prospectus~~deter –disruptive ~~May~~trading 1as follows. If a transfer(s) is/are identified as potentially disruptive trading, ~~2023~~we may (but are not required to) send a warning letter. If the conduct continues and we determine it constitutes disruptive trading, we also impose transfer restrictions. Transfer restrictions may include refusing electronic transfers and requiring all transfers be sent by first-class U.S. mail. If the disruptive trading affects only a single Variable Option, we may prohibit transfers into or Purchase Payment allocations to that Variable Option. We do

We retain some discretion in determining what actions constitute potentially disruptive trading and in determining when and how to impose trading restrictions. Currently, we attempt to deter disruptive trading as follows. If a transfer(s) is/are identified as potentially disruptive trading, we may (but are not required to) send a warning letter. If the conduct continues and we determine it constitutes disruptive trading, we also impose transfer restrictions. Transfer restrictions may include refusing electronic transfers and requiring all transfers be sent by first-class U.S. mail. If the disruptive trading affects only a single Variable Option, we may prohibit transfers into or Purchase Payment allocations to that Variable Option. We do not enter into agreements permitting market timing and would not permit activities determined to be disruptive trading to continue. We also reserve the right to impose transfer restrictions if we determine, in our sole discretion, that transfers disadvantage other Owners. We notify you in writing if we impose transfer restrictions on you. 48

not enter into agreements permitting market timing and would not permit activities determined to be disruptive trading to continue. We also reserve the right to impose transfer restrictions if we determine, in our sole discretion, that transfers disadvantage other Owners. We notify you in writing if we impose transfer restrictions on you.

We adopted these policies and procedures as a preventative measure to protect all Owners from the potential effects of disruptive trading, while also abiding by your legitimate interest in diversifying your investment and making periodic asset re-allocations based on your personal situation or overall market conditions. We attempt to protect your interests in making legitimate transfers by providing reasonable and convenient transfer methods that do not harm other Owners.

We may make exceptions when imposing transfer restrictions if we determine a transfer is appropriate, although it may technically violate our policies and procedures discussed here. In determining if a transfer is appropriate, we may, but are not required to, take into consideration its relative size, whether it was purely a defensive transfer into the AZL Government Money Market Fund, and whether it involved an error or similar event. We may also reinstate electronic transfer privileges after we revoke them, but we do not reinstate these privileges if we believe they might be used for future disruptive trading.

We cannot guarantee the following.

•

Our monitoring will be 100% successful in detecting all potentially disruptive trading activity.

•

Revoking electronic transfer privileges will successfully deter all potentially disruptive trading.

In addition, some of the Variable Options are available to other insurance companies and we do not know if they adopted policies and procedures to detect and deter potentially disruptive trading, or what their policies and procedures might be. Because we may not be completely successful at detecting and preventing market timing activities, and other insurance companies that offer the Variable Options may not have adopted adequate market timing procedures, there is some risk that market timing activity may occur and negatively affect other Owners.

We may, without prior notice to any party, take whatever action we deem appropriate to comply with any state or federal regulatory requirement. In addition, purchase orders for a Variable Option’s shares are subject to acceptance by that Variable Option’s manager. We reserve the right to reject, without prior notice, any Variable Option transfer request or Purchase Payment if the purchase order is rejected by the investment manager. We have entered into agreements required under SEC Rule 22c-2 (Rule 22c-2 agreements) whereby, upon request by an underlying fund or its designee, we must provide information about you and your trading activities to the underlying fund or its designee. Under the terms of the Rule 22c-2 agreements, we are required to: (1) provide details concerning every purchase, redemption, transfer, or exchange of Variable Options during a specified period; and (2) restrict your trading activity if the party receiving the information so requests. Under certain Rule 22c-2 agreements, if we fail to comply with a request to restrict trading activity, the underlying fund or its designee may refuse to accept buy orders from us until we comply.

Variable Options may add or change policies designed to restrict market timing activities. For example, Variable Options may impose restrictions on transfers between Variable Options in an affiliated group if the investment adviser to one or more of the Variable Options determines that the person requesting the transfer has engaged, or is engaging in, market timing or other abusive trading activities. In addition, a Variable Option may impose a short-term trading fee on purchases and sales within a specified period. You should review the Variable Options’ prospectuses regarding any applicable transfer restrictions and the imposition of any fee to discourage short-term trading. The imposition of these restrictions would occur as a result of Variable Option restrictions and actions taken by the Variable Options’ managers.

This Contract is not designed for professional market timing organizations, or other persons using programmed, large, or

frequent transfers, and we may restrict excessive or inappropriate transfer activity.

The retention of some level of discretion by us may result in disparate treatment among persons engaging in potentially disruptive trading, and it is possible that some persons could experience adverse consequences if others are able to engage in potentially disruptive trading practices that have negative effects.

Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – May 1, 2023

Voting Privileges

We legally own the Variable Option shares. However, when athe Variable Option holds a shareholder vote that affects your investment, we ask you to give us voting instructions. We then vote all of our shares, including any we own on our behalf, in proportion to those instructions. Because most Owners do not give us instructions and we vote shares proportionally, a small number of Owners may determine a vote’s outcome. If we determine we no longer need to get your voting instructions, we will decide how to vote the shares. Only Owners have voting privileges. Annuitants, Beneficiaries, Payees and other persons have no voting privileges unless they are also Owners.

Allianz Index Advantage+SM New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – [MMDD], 2024

We determine your voting interest in a Variable Option as follows:

•

You can provide voting instructions based on the dollar value of the Variable Option’s shares in your Contract’s subaccount. We calculate this value based on the number and value of accumulation units for your Contract on the record date. We count fractional units.

•

You receive proxy materials and a voting instruction form.

6. Expenses

Contract fees and expenses reduce your investment return and are described here in detail. We set the Contract fees and expenses on the Issue Date and they cannot change.

Base Contract Expenses (Mortality and Expense Risk (M&E) Charge)

The base contract expense is referred to as the “mortality and expense risk charge” in your Contract, or "M&E charge" elsewhere in this prospectus. The M&E charge compensates us for providing all your Contract’s benefits, including our contractual obligation to make Annuity Payments and certain Contract and distribution expenses. The M&E charge also compensates us for assuming the expense risk that the current charge is less than future Contract administration costs as well as the cost of providing certain features under the Contract. If the M&E charge covers these costs and risks, any excess is profit to us. We anticipate making such a profit.

Base Contract Expenses (as a percentage of ~~each~~the Variable Option’s net asset value) Mortality and Expense Risk (M&E) Charge(1) 1.25%

(1)

Upon the death of the Owner, we continue to assess this M&E charge for ~~amounts~~ amounts allocated to the Variable ~~Options~~Option under death benefit payment Option B, and with optional payments under death benefit payment Option C, as noted in section 10, Death Benefit. If there are multiple Beneficiaries, we continue to assess the M&E charge after receiving the first Valid Claim until complete distribution of the death benefit.

The M&E charge is an annualized rate that reduces the net asset value that we use to calculate each subaccount’s accumulation unit value on each Business Day during the Accumulation Phase. The net asset value is the price of an underlying Variable Option. We do not assess the M&E charge against the Index Options, or during the Annuity Phase.

Contract Maintenance Charge (Administrative Expenses)

Your annual contract maintenance charge is $50. This charge is for Contract administration and maintenance expenses. We waive this charge as follows:

•

During the Accumulation Phase, if the ~~total~~ Contract Value ~~for all Allianz Index Advantage® New York Contracts you own~~ is at least $100,000 ~~at the end of the last Business Day before the Contract Anniversary, or if the Contract Value for this single Allianz Index Advantage® New York Contract is at least $100,000~~ on the Contract Anniversary. We determine the total Contract Value for all individually owned Allianz Index Advantage® New York Contracts by using the Owner’s social security number, and for non-individually owned Allianz Index Advantage® New York Contracts we use the Annuitant’s social security number.

•

During the Annuity Phase.

•

When paying death benefits.

We deduct the contract maintenance charge:

•

on a dollar for dollar basis from the Contract Value on the Contract Anniversary (or the next Business Day if the Contract Anniversary is a non-Business Day), and

•

we deduct it proportionately from each Allocation Option.

If you take a full withdrawal from your Contract (other than on a Contract Anniversary), we deduct the full contract maintenance ~~Allianz~~charge ~~Index~~from ~~Advantage®~~the ~~New~~Cash ~~York~~Value. ~~Variable~~We ~~Annuity~~do ~~Prospectus~~not –treat ~~May~~the 1,deduction ~~2023~~of the contract maintenance charge as a withdrawal when computing your Guaranteed Death Benefit Value.

If you take a full withdrawal from your Contract (other than on a Contract Anniversary), we deduct the full contract maintenance charge. We do not treat the deduction of the contract maintenance charge as a withdrawal when computing your Guaranteed Death Benefit Value.

Withdrawal Charge

You can take withdrawals during the Accumulation Phase. A withdrawal charge applies if any part of a withdrawal comes from a Purchase Payment that is still within the withdrawal charge period. We assess the withdrawal charge against the Withdrawal Charge Basis, which is equal to total Purchase Payments, less any Purchase Payments withdrawn (including any Penalty-Free Withdrawals), and less any applicable withdrawal charge. We do not reduce the Withdrawal Charge Basis for any amounts we deduct to pay other Contract fees and expenses. For withdrawals that are subject to a withdrawal charge, to pay your requested withdrawal amount, we deduct more than the amount you request and apply a withdrawal charge to the Purchase Payments deducted. Please see #3 in the following example.

We do not assess a withdrawal charge on Penalty-Free Withdrawals or amounts we deduct to pay Contract expenses, other than the withdrawal charge. Amounts withdrawn to pay financial adviser fees are subject to a withdrawal charge if they exceed the free withdrawal privilege, and will reduce the Contract Value and Guaranteed Death Benefit Value (perhaps significantly and by more than the amount withdrawn).

Calculating a Withdrawal Charge		Example
For purposes of calculating any withdrawal charge, we withdraw Purchase Payments on a “first-in-first-out” (FIFO) basis and we process withdrawal requests as follows.		You make an initial Purchase Payment of $30,000 and make another Purchase Payment in the first month of the second Contract Year of $70,000. In the third month of the third Contract Year, your Contract Value is $110,000 and you request a $52,000 withdrawal. We withdraw money and compute the withdrawal charge as follows.
1. First we withdraw from Purchase Payments that we have had for six or more complete years, which is your Contract’s withdrawal charge period. This withdrawal is not subject to a withdrawal charge and it reduces the Withdrawal Charge Basis dollar for dollar.		1. Purchase Payments beyond the withdrawal charge period. All payments are still within the withdrawal charge period, so this does not apply.
2. Amounts available as a Penalty-Free Withdrawal. This includes partial withdrawals you take during the Accumulation Phase under the free withdrawal privilege or waiver of withdrawal charge benefit, and RMD payments you take under our minimum distribution program. Penalty-Free Withdrawals are not subject to a withdrawal charge, but they reduce the Withdrawal Charge Basis dollar for dollar, and are withdrawn from Purchase Payments on a FIFO basis.		2. Amounts available as a Penalty-Free Withdrawal. You did not take any other withdrawals this year, so the entire free withdrawal privilege (10% of your total Purchase Payments, or $10,000) is available to you without incurring a withdrawal charge. We also deduct this $10,000 from the first Purchase Payment.
3. Next, on a FIFO basis, we withdraw from Purchase Payments within your Contract’s withdrawal charge period and assess a withdrawal charge. Withdrawing payments on a FIFO basis may help reduce the total withdrawal charge because the charge declines over time. We determine your total withdrawal charge by multiplying each payment by its applicable withdrawal charge percentage and then totaling the charges. These withdrawals reduce the Withdrawal Charge Basis. The withdrawal charge as a percentage of each Purchase Payment withdrawn is as follows.		3. Purchase Payments within the withdrawal charge period on a FIFO basis. The total amount we withdraw from the first Purchase Payment is $20,000, which is subject to a 6% withdrawal charge, and you receive $18,800. We determine this amount as follows: (amount withdrawn) x (1 – withdrawal charge) = the amount you receive, or: $20,000 x 0.94 = $18,800 The total amount we withdraw from the second Purchase Payment is $24,946, which is subject to a 7% withdrawal charge, and you receive $23,200. We determine this amount as follows: (amount withdrawn) x (1 – withdrawal charge) = the amount you receive, or: $24,946 x 0.93 = $23,200

Calculating a Withdrawal Charge		Example
For purposes of calculating any withdrawal charge, we withdraw Purchase Payments on a “first-in-first-out” (FIFO) basis and we process withdrawal requests as follows.		You make an initial Purchase Payment of $55,000 and make another Purchase Payment in the first month of the second Contract Year of $45,000. In the third month of the third Contract Year, your Contract Value is $110,000 and you request a $70,000 withdrawal. We withdraw money and compute the withdrawal charge as follows.
1. First, we withdraw from Purchase Payments that we have had for six or more complete years, which is your Contract’s withdrawal charge period. This withdrawal is not subject to a withdrawal charge and it reduces the Withdrawal Charge Basis dollar for dollar.		1. Purchase Payments beyond the withdrawal charge period. All payments are still within the withdrawal charge period, so this does not apply.
2. Amounts available as a Penalty-Free Withdrawal. This includes partial withdrawals you take during the Accumulation Phase under the free withdrawal privilege or waiver of withdrawal charge benefit, and RMD payments you take under our minimum distribution program. Penalty-Free Withdrawals are not subject to a withdrawal charge, but they reduce the Withdrawal Charge Basis dollar for dollar, and are withdrawn from Purchase Payments on a FIFO basis.		2. Amounts available as a Penalty-Free Withdrawal. You did not take any other withdrawals this year, so the entire free withdrawal privilege (10% of your total Purchase Payments, or $10,000) is available to you without incurring a withdrawal charge. We also deduct this $10,000 from the first Purchase Payment.
3. Next, on a FIFO basis, we withdraw from Purchase Payments within your Contract’s withdrawal charge period and assess a withdrawal charge. Withdrawing payments on a FIFO basis may help reduce the total withdrawal charge because the charge declines over time. We determine your total withdrawal charge by multiplying each payment by its applicable withdrawal charge percentage and then totaling the charges. These withdrawals reduce the Withdrawal Charge Basis. The withdrawal charge as a percentage of each Purchase Payment withdrawn is as follows.		3. Purchase Payments within the withdrawal charge period on a FIFO basis. The total amount we withdraw from the first Purchase Payment is $45,000, which is subject to a 6% withdrawal charge, and you receive $42,300. We determine this amount as follows: (amount withdrawn) x (1 – withdrawal charge) = the amount you receive, or: $45,000 x 0.94 = $42,300 The total amount we withdraw from the second Purchase Payment is $19,032, which is subject to a 7% withdrawal charge, and you receive $17,700. We determine this amount as follows: (amount withdrawn) x (1 – withdrawal charge) = the amount you receive, or: $19,032 x 0.93 = $17,700
Number of Complete Years Since Purchase Payment	Withdrawal Charge Amount
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 years or more	8% 7% 6% 5% 3% 1% 0%
4. Finally we withdraw any Contract earnings. This withdrawal is not subject to a withdrawal charge and it does not reduce the Withdrawal Charge Basis.		4. Contract earnings. We already withdrew your requested amount, so this does not apply. In total we withdrew $54,946 from your Contract, of which you received $52,000 and paid a withdrawal charge of $2,946. We also reduced the 1st Purchase Payment from $30,000 to $0, and your 2nd Purchase Payment from $70,000 to $45,054 ($70,000 – $24,946). Please note that this example may differ from your actual results due to rounding.

For a partial withdrawal we pay you the amount you requested and deduct this amount and any withdrawal charge from the total Contract Value. We deduct any partial withdrawal (including any withdrawal charge) proportionately from each Allocation Option unless you provide us with alternate instructions. If a partial withdrawal occurs on a day that we also deduct the contract maintenance charge[MMDD], ~~we deduct this charge before we calculate and deduct the partial withdrawal and any withdrawal charge from the Contract Value.~~ 2024

Calculating a Withdrawal Charge		Example
4. Finally, we withdraw any Contract earnings. This withdrawal is not subject to a withdrawal charge and it does not reduce the Withdrawal Charge Basis.		4. Contract earnings. We already withdrew your requested amount, so this does not apply. In total we withdrew $74,032 from your Contract, of which you received $70,000 and paid a withdrawal charge of $4,032. We also reduced the 1st Purchase Payment from $55,000 to $0, and your 2nd Purchase Payment from $45,000 to $25,968 ($45,000 – $19,032). Please note that this example may differ from your actual results due to rounding.

Upon a full withdrawal, we first deduct any contract maintenance charge from your Contract Value before we calculate the withdrawal charge. We then deduct any applicable withdrawal charge from the total remaining Contract Value and send you the remaining amount. For a partial withdrawal, we pay you the amount you requested and deduct this amount and any withdrawal charge from the total Contract Value. We deduct any partial withdrawal (including any withdrawal charge) proportionately from each Allocation Option. If a partial withdrawal occurs on a day that we also deduct the contract maintenance charge, we deduct this charge before we calculate and deduct the partial withdrawal and any withdrawal charge from the Contract Value.

The withdrawal charge compensates us for expenses associated with selling the Contract.

~~Reduction~~• orUpon ~~Elimination~~a offull withdrawal, the free withdrawal privilege is not available to you, and we apply a withdrawal charge against Purchase Payments that are still within the withdrawal charge period, including amounts previously withdrawn under the free withdrawal privilege. On a full withdrawal, your Withdrawal Charge Basis may be greater than your Contract Value because the following reduce your Contract Value, but do not reduce your Withdrawal Charge Basis: – deductions we make for Contract fees and expenses other than the withdrawal charge, and/or – poor performance. This also means that upon a full withdrawal you may not receive any money. • Withdrawals (including any financial adviser fees that you choose to have us pay from this Contract) are subject to ordinary income taxes, and may also be subject to a 10% additional federal tax for amounts withdrawn before age 59 1∕2. The amount of Contract Value available for withdrawal is also affected by the Daily Adjustment (which can be negative) unless taken on a Term End Date. If you have Index Options with different Term End Dates, there may be no time you can take a withdrawal without application of at least one Daily Adjustment. Please consult with your Financial Professional before requesting us to pay financial adviser fees from this Contract rather than from other assets you may have. • For tax purposes, and in most instances, withdrawals from Non-Qualified Contracts are considered to come from earnings first, not Purchase Payments.

We may reduce or eliminate the withdrawal charge when the Contract is sold under circumstances that reduce its sales expenses. We will implement this withdrawal charge reduction or elimination in a nondiscriminatory manner. For example, if a large group of individuals purchases Contracts or if a prospective purchaser already has a relationship with us. We may choose not to deduct a withdrawal charge under a Contract issued to an officer, director, or employee of Allianz Life of New York or any of its affiliates. Also, we may reduce or eliminate the withdrawal charge when a Contract is sold by a Financial Professional appointed with Allianz Life of New York to any members of his or her immediate family and the Financial Professional waives their commission. We must pre-approve any withdrawal charge reduction or elimination.

Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – May 1, 2023

• Upon a full withdrawal the free withdrawal privilege is not available to you, and we apply a withdrawal charge against Purchase Payments that are still within the withdrawal charge period, including amounts previously withdrawn under the free withdrawal privilege. On a full withdrawal your Withdrawal Charge Basis may be greater than your Contract Value because the following reduce your Contract Value, but do not reduce your Withdrawal Charge Basis: – deductions we make for Contract fees and expenses other than the withdrawal charge, and/or – poor performance. This also means that upon a full withdrawal you may not receive any money. • Withdrawals (including any financial adviser fees that you choose to have us pay from this Contract) are subject to ordinary income taxes, and a 10% additional federal tax if you are under age 59 1∕2, and the amount of Contract Value available for withdrawal is affected by the Daily Adjustment (which can be negative) unless taken on a Term End Date. If you have Index Options with different Term End Dates, there may be no time you can take a withdrawal without application of at least one Daily Adjustment. Please consult with your Financial Professional before requesting us to pay financial adviser fees from this Contract rather than from other assets you may have. • For tax purposes in most instances, withdrawals from Non-Qualified Contracts are considered to come from earnings first, not Purchase Payments.

Transfer Fee

The first twelve transfers between Variable Options every Contract Year are free. After that, we deduct a $25 transfer fee for each additional transfer. We count all transfers made in the same Business Day as one transfer. We do not count transfers between the Variable Options and Index Options or reallocation of Index Option Value among the Index Options against the free transfers we allow and these transfers are not subject to a transfer fee. The transfer fee continues to apply under death benefit payment Option B, and with optional payments under death benefit payment Option C as noted in section 10, Death Benefit.

We deduct the transfer fee on a dollar for dollar basis from the amount of Variable Account Value being transferred before allocating the remaining Variable Account Value to your selected Variable Options. We do not treat the deduction of the transfer fee as a withdrawal when computing the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value under the Traditional Death Benefit.

Daily Adjustment Maximum Potential Loss

The Daily Adjustment is how we calculate Index Option Values on days other than the Term Start Date or Term End Date. The Daily Adjustment approximates the Index Option Value that will be available on the Term End Date. If before the Term End Date you take a full or partial withdrawal (including any 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 when we deduct Contract fees and expenses, we calculate the Index Option Value by applying the Daily Adjustment. The Daily Adjustment can be positive or negative. Following is the maximum potential loss associated with the Daily Adjustment.

(as a percentage of Index Option Value, applies for distributions from an Index Option before any Term End Date)

Premium Tax

Premium tax is based on your state of residence at the time you make each Purchase Payment. In states that assess a premium tax, we do not currently deduct it from the Contract, although we reserve the right to do so in the future. Premium tax normally ranges from 0% to 3.5% of the Purchase Payment, depending on the state or governmental entity. New York does not currently assess a premium tax.

Income Tax

Currently, we do not deduct any Contract related income tax we incur, although we reserve the right to do so in the future.

Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – May 1, 2023

Variable Option Expenses

Charges deducted from and expenses paid out of the assets of the Variable ~~Options~~Option are described in the Variable ~~Options~~Option's ~~prospectuses~~prospectus.

These expenses reduce the Variable ~~Options~~Option's performance and, therefore, negatively affect your Contract Value and any payments based on Contract Value.

7. Access to Your Money

Your Contract Value is available under the following circumstances:

•

by taking a withdrawal (including financial adviser fees that you choose to have us pay from this Contract; withdrawals under the free withdrawal privilege, ~~systematic withdrawal program,~~ and waiver of withdrawal charge benefit; and, for Qualified Contracts only, RMD payments under our minimum distribution program);

•

by taking Annuity Payments; or

•

when we pay a death benefit.

You can take withdrawals during the Accumulation Phase. We process withdrawal requests based on values next determined after receipt of the request in Good Order at our Service Center. Values are normally determined at the end of each Business Day. We process any withdrawal request received at or after the end of the current Business Day using values determined on the next Business Day.

Any partial withdrawal must be for at least $100.* The Contract Value after a partial withdrawal (including any withdrawal charge) must be at least $2,000.* Any partial withdrawal that reduces the Contract Value below this minimum will be treated as a full withdrawal of the Cash Value. A full withdrawal will cause the Contract and all of its benefits to end.

Does not apply to RMD payments under our minimum distribution program.

We deduct any partial withdrawal (including any withdrawal charge) proportionately from each Allocation ~~Option~~ ~~unless you provide us with alternate instructions~~Option. The Index Option Value from which a partial withdrawal is deducted during a Term will include any applicable Daily Adjustment.

~~When~~A ~~you~~partial ~~take~~or a full withdrawal is subject to a withdrawal charge if taken within six years of your last Purchase Payment, and, if taken on a day other than a Term End Date, we will apply the Daily Adjustment to the Index Option Values before deducting the withdrawal. A partial withdrawal is not subject to any Contract ~~Value~~fees weor ~~process~~expenses ~~your~~other ~~request~~than the withdrawal charge, but on ~~the~~a ~~Business~~full ~~Day~~withdrawal we do deduct any contract maintenance charge. Partial withdrawals (including any withdrawal charge) reduce Contract Value dollar for dollar, and reduce the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value proportionately. The ~~receive~~ reduction itto inContract ~~Good~~Value ~~Order~~also atreduces ~~our~~RMD ~~Service~~payments which ~~Center~~are asbased ~~follows:~~on Contract Value. A full withdrawal of the Cash Value will end the Contract and all its benefits.

•

total Contract Value including any Daily Adjustment,

•

less any contract maintenance charge, and

•

less any withdrawal charge.

See the Fee Tables and section 6, Expenses for a discussion of the Contract fees and expenses.

A partial or full withdrawal is subject to a withdrawal charge if taken within six years of your last Purchase Payment, and if taken on a day other than a Term End Date we will apply the Daily Adjustment to the Index Option Values before deducting the withdrawal. A partial withdrawal is not subject to any Contract fees or expenses other than the withdrawal charge, but on a full withdrawal we do deduct any contract maintenance charge. Partial withdrawals (including any withdrawal charge) reduce Contract Value dollar for dollar, and reduce the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value proportionately. The reduction to Contract Value also reduces RMD payments which are based on Contract Value. A full withdrawal will end the Contract and all its benefits.

We pay withdrawals promptly, but in no event later than seven days after receipt of your request in Good Order at our Service Center, unless the suspension of payments or transfers provision is in effect (see the discussion later in this section).

• Withdrawals are subject to a withdrawal charge, ~~state~~income taxes, and ~~federal~~may ~~taxation,~~also ~~and~~be subject to a 10% additional federal tax iffor ~~you~~amounts ~~are~~withdrawn ~~under~~before age 59 1∕2,. ~~and~~The ~~the~~ amount of Contract Value available for withdrawal may also be affected by the Daily Adjustment (which can be negative). Please consult with your Financial Professional before requesting us to pay financial adviser fees from this Contract rather than from other assets you may have. • Joint Owners: We send one check payable to both Joint Owners and we tax report to each Joint Owner individually. Tax reporting each Joint Owner individually can create a discrepancy in taxation if only one Joint Owner is under age 59 1∕2 because that Joint Owner ~~will~~may be subject to the 10% additional federal tax. • We may be required to provide information about you or your Contract to government regulators. We may also be required to stop Contract disbursements and thereby refuse any transfer requests, and refuse to pay any withdrawals (including a full withdrawal), or death benefits until we receive instructions from the appropriate regulator. If, pursuant to SEC rules, the AZL Government Money Market Fund suspends payment of redemption proceeds in connection with a fund liquidation, we will delay payment of any transfer, full or partial withdrawal, or death benefit from the AZL Government Money Market Fund subaccount until the fund is liquidated.

Free Withdrawal Privilege

Each Contract Year during the Accumulation Phase, you can withdraw up to 10% of your total Purchase Payments without incurring a withdrawal charge (the free withdrawal privilege). Any unused free withdrawal privilege in one Contract Year is not added to the amount available to you in the next Contract Year. Withdrawals from Purchase Payments that are outside the six year withdrawal charge period are not subject to a withdrawal charge and do not reduce your free withdrawal privilege. RMD payments you take under our minimum distribution program and withdrawals under the waiver of withdrawal charge benefit are not subject to a withdrawal charge, but do reduce your free withdrawal privilege. Amounts we deduct for any financial adviser fees that you choose to have us pay from this Contract also reduce your free withdrawal privilege.

Example

Assume your initial Purchase Payment 10 years ago was $90100,000, and you made a second $~~100~~90,000 Purchase Payment 3 years ago. You take a RMD payment of $1,500 and withdraw $150,000 when the Contract Value is $275,000. The RMD payment is not subject to a withdrawal charge, but reduces the amount available under the free withdrawal privilege to $17,500 (10% x $190,000 total Purchase Payments = $19,000 - $1,500 RMD payment). After the RMD payment, $107,500 is available to you without a withdrawal charge: the initial $90,000 Purchase Payment that is beyond the 6-year withdrawal charge period, and $17,500 remaining free withdrawal privilege. The remaining $42,500 of your requested withdrawal would be subject to a 5% withdrawal charge.

The free withdrawal privilege is not available upon a full withdrawal.

Systematic Withdrawal Program

The systematic withdrawal program can provide automatic withdrawal payments to you during the Accumulation Phase. You can request to receive these withdrawal payments monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. However, if your Contract Value is less than $25,000, we only make annual payments. The minimum amount you can withdraw under this program is $100 and there is no maximum. We make systematic withdrawals on the ninth of the month, or the next Business Day if the ninth is a non-Business Day. We must receive your systematic withdrawal program form instructions in Good Order at our Service Center before the end of the Business Day before we process these withdrawals, or your program does not begin until the next month. This program ends at the earlier of your request, or when you withdraw your total Contract Value. However, we reserve the right to discontinue or modify the systematic withdrawal program at any time and for any reason.

• During the withdrawal charge period, systematic withdrawals in excess of the free withdrawal privilege are subject to a withdrawal charge, ordinary income taxes, and a 10% additional federal tax if you are under age 59 1∕2. • The systematic withdrawal program is not available while you are receiving RMD payments.

Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – May 1, 2023

Minimum Distribution Program and Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) Payments

If you own an IRA or SEP IRA Contract, you can participate in the minimum distribution program during the Accumulation Phase. If you have an Inherited IRA Contract or Inherited Roth IRA Contract, we generally require you to participate in the minimum distribution program when you purchase this Contract. Under this program, we make payments to you designed to meet the applicable minimum distribution requirements imposed by the Code for this Qualified Contract. RMD payments are not subject to a withdrawal charge, but they reduce the free withdrawal privilege amount during the Contract Year. We do not consider deductions we make for financial adviser fees that you choose to have us pay from this Contract to be RMD payments. However, Contract Value is one of the components we use to calculate RMD payments, so these deductions may reduce your future RMD payments. We apply the Daily Adjustment to the Index Option Values if RMD payments are deducted on days other than a Term End Date. We can make payments to you monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. However, if your Contract Value is less than $25,000, we only make annual payments. We do not allow you to aggregate RMD payments between this Contract and other qualified contracts that you own for purposes of this program. We make RMD payments on the ninth of the month, or the next Business Day if the ninth is a non-Business Day. We must receive your program form instructions in Good Order at our Service Center before the end of the Business Day before we process these payments, or your program does not begin until the next month.

We reserve the right to discontinue or modify the minimum distribution program subject to the requirements of law.

• Allianz ~~You~~Index ~~should~~Advantage+SM New ~~consult~~York aVariable ~~tax~~Annuity ~~adviser~~Prospectus ~~before~~– ~~purchasing a Qualified Contract that is subject to RMD payments. • The minimum distribution program is not available while you are receiving systematic withdrawals~~[MMDD], ~~or if you have a Qualified Contract purchased through a qualified plan.~~2024

• You should consult a tax adviser before purchasing a Qualified Contract that is subject to RMD payments.

• The minimum distribution program is not available if you have a Qualified Contract purchased through a

qualified plan.

Waiver of Withdrawal Charge Benefit

After the first Contract Year, if any Owner becomes confined to a skilled nursing ~~home~~facility or hospital for a period of at least 90 90 consecutive days and a physician certifies that continued confinement is necessary, you can take withdrawals and we waive the withdrawal charge. We apply the Daily Adjustment to the Index Option Values if withdrawals under this benefit ~~are~~ are deducted on days other than a Term End Date. This waiver is not available if any Owner was confined to a nursing home on the Issue Date. We base this benefit on the Annuitant for non-individually owned Contracts. We must receive proof of of confinement in Good Order for each withdrawal before we waive the withdrawal charge. Withdrawals under this benefit reduce the free withdrawal privilege amount during the Contract Year.

Suspension of Payments or Transfers

We may be required to suspend or postpone transfers or payments for withdrawals for more than seven days after receipt of your request in Good Order at our Service Center, for any period when:

•

the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and holiday closings);

•

trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;

•

an emergency (as determined by the SEC) exists as a result of which disposal of the Variable Option shares is not reasonably practicable or we cannot reasonably value the Variable Option shares; or

•

during any other period when the SEC, by order, so permits for the protection of Owners.

8. The Annuity Phase

Prior to annuitization, you can take a full withdrawal and receive your ~~total~~Cash ~~Contract~~ Value ~~(less the withdrawal charge and contract maintenance charge)~~. If you take a full withdrawal on any day other than a Term Start Date or Term End Date ~~and you have Contract Value in the Index Options,~~ we apply the Daily Adjustment to ~~these~~the Index Option Values before we deduct the final Contract fees and expenses.

Annuity Payments offer a guaranteed lifetime income stream with certain tax advantages and are designed for Owners who no longer need immediate access to Contract Value to meet their short-term income needs.

You can request regular periodic fixed Annuity Payments. The Payee receives the Annuity Payments. You receive tax reporting on the payments, whether or not you are the Payee. We may require proof of the Annuitant(s)’ age before we make any life contingent Annuity Payment. If you misstate the Annuitant(s)’ age or gender, we recalculate the Annuity Payments based on the correct age or gender.

Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – May 1, 2023

Calculating Your Annuity Payments

We base Annuity Payments upon the following:

•

The Contract Value on the Annuity Date.

•

The age of the Annuitant and any joint Annuitant on the Annuity Date.

•

The gender of the Annuitant and any joint Annuitant where permitted.

•

The Annuity Option you select.

•

Your Contract’s interest rate (or current rates, if higher) and mortality table.

IfFor any Index Option for which the Annuity Date is not a Term End Date, Contract Value reflects the Daily Adjustment ~~if you selected an Index Option~~. We guarantee the dollar amount of Annuity Payments and this amount remains fixed and does not change during the entire annuity payment option period that you selected, except as provided under Annuity Option 3G.

Annuity Payment Options

You can choose one of the Annuity Options described below ~~or any other payment option to which we agree~~. After Annuity Payments begin, you cannot change the Annuity Option, or transfer or withdraw Contract Value.

Option 1.A ~~Life~~- ~~Annuity~~Guaranteed Period. We make Annuity Payments ~~during~~for ~~the~~a ~~life~~guaranteed period of ~~the~~ten ~~Annuitant, and the last payment is the one that is due before the Annuitant’s death~~years. ~~If the Annuitant dies shortly after the Annuity Date, the Payee may receive less than your investment in the Contract.~~

~~Option~~ Allianz 2.Index ~~Life~~Advantage+SM New ~~Annuity~~York ~~with~~Variable ~~Payments Over 5, 10, 15 or 20 Years Guaranteed. We make~~ Annuity ~~Payments~~Prospectus ~~during~~– ~~the life of the Annuitant~~[MMDD], ~~with payments for a minimum guaranteed period that you select.~~ 2024

Option 3. Joint and Last Survivor Annuity. We make Annuity Payments during the lifetimes of the Annuitant and the joint Annuitant. Upon the death of one Annuitant, Annuity Payments to the Payee continue during the lifetime of the surviving joint Annuitant, at a level of 100%, 75% or 50% selected by the Owner when he or she chose this Annuity Payment option. If both Annuitants die shortly after the Annuity Date, the Payee may receive less than your investment in the Contract.

Option 4. Joint and Last Survivor Annuity with Payments Over 5, 10, 15 or 20 Years Guaranteed. We make Annuity Payments during the lifetimes of the Annuitant and the joint Annuitant, with payments for a minimum guaranteed period that you select.

Option 5. Refund Life Annuity. We make Annuity Payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant, and the last payment is the one that is due before the Annuitant’s death. After the Annuitant’s death, the Payee may receive a lump sum refund. The amount of the refund equals the amount applied to this Annuity Option minus the total paid under this option.

Under Annuity Options 1, 3 and 5, if all Annuitants die on or after the Annuity Date and before we send the first Annuity Payment, we will cancel Annuity Payments and upon receipt of a Valid Claim we will pay the Contract Value determined on the Annuity Date to surviving individual Owner, or the Beneficiary(s) if there is no surviving Owner. If the Owner is a non-individual, we pay the Owner.

After the Annuitant’s death under Annuity Option 2, or the last surviving joint Annuitant's death under Annuity Option 4, we make Annuity Payments during the remaining guaranteed period in the following order based on who is still alive: the Payee, any surviving original Owner, the last surviving Owner’s Beneficiaries, or to the last surviving Owner’s estate if there are no remaining or named Beneficiaries.

Annuity Payments are usually lower if you select an Annuity Option that requires us to make more frequent Annuity Payments or to make payments over a longer period of time. If you choose life contingent Annuity Payments, payout rates for a younger Annuitant are lower than the payout rates for an older Annuitant and payout rates for life with a guaranteed period are typically lower than life only payments. Monthly payout rates are lower than annual payout rates, payout rates for a 20-year guaranteed period are less than payout rates for a 10-year guaranteed period, and payout rates for a 50-year-old Annuitant are less than payout rates for a 70-year-old Annuitant.

• If you do not choose an Annuity Option before the Annuity Date, we make Annuity Payments to the Payee under Annuity Option 2 with ten years of guaranteed monthly payments. • For Owners younger than age 59 1∕2, Annuity Payments are subject to a 10% additional federal tax. • For a Qualified Contract, the Annuity Payments must end ten years after the Owner’s death.

Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – May 1, 2023

When Annuity Payments Begin

Annuity Payments begin on the Annuity Date. Your scheduled Annuity Date is the first day of the calendar month following the Annuitant’s 90th birthday and is stated in your Contract. An earlier Annuity Date or a withdrawal may be required to satisfy minimum required distribution rules under certain Qualified Contracts. You can make an authorized request for a different, earlier or later Annuity Date after the Issue Date, but any such request is subject to applicable law and our approval. An earlier or later Annuity Date may not be available to you depending on the Financial Professional you purchase your Contract through. The earliest available Annuity Date is 13 months after the Issue Date.

If on the Annuity Date (which may occur as early as 13 months after the Issue Date, or as late as age 100) your Contract Value is greater than zero, you must annuitize the Contract. We notify you of your available options in writing 60 days in advance, including the option to extend your Annuity Date if available. If on your Annuity Date you have not selected an Annuity Option, we make payments under Annuity Option 2 with ten years of guaranteed monthly payments. Upon annuitization you no longer have Contract Value or a death benefit, and you cannot receive any other periodic withdrawals or payments other than Annuity Payments.

Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – May 1, 2023

Option B - Life. We make Annuity Payments during the life of the Annuitant, and the last payment is the one that is due before the Annuitant’s death. If the Annuitant dies shortly after the Annuity Date, the Payee may receive less than your investment in the Contract.

Option C - Life with Guaranteed Period. We make Annuity Payments during the life of the Annuitant, with payments for a minimum guaranteed period that you select. The guaranteed period must be either five or ten years.

Option F - Joint and Survivor. We make Annuity Payments during the lifetimes of the Annuitant and the joint Annuitant. Upon the death of one Annuitant, Annuity Payments to the Payee continue during the lifetime of the surviving joint Annuitant. If both Annuitants die shortly after the Annuity Date, the Payee may receive less than your investment in the Contract.

Option G - Joint and 2/3 Survivor Annuity. We make Annuity Payments during the lifetimes of the Annuitant and the joint Annuitant. Upon the death of one Annuitant, Annuity Payments to the Payee continue during the lifetime of the surviving joint Annuitant at 2/3 of the original amount. If both Annuitants die shortly after the Annuity Date, the Payee may receive less than your investment in the Contract.

Under Annuity Options B, F and G, if all Annuitants die on or after the Annuity Date and before we send the first Annuity Payment, we will cancel Annuity Payments and, upon receipt of a Valid Claim, we will pay the Contract Value determined on the Annuity Date to surviving individual Owner, or the Beneficiary(ies) if there is no surviving Owner. If the Owner is a non-individual, we pay the Owner.

After the Annuitant’s death under Annuity Options A and C, we make Annuity Payments during the remaining guaranteed period in the following order based on who is still alive: the Payee, any surviving original Owner, the last surviving Owner’s Beneficiaries, or to the last surviving Owner’s estate if there are no remaining or named Beneficiaries.

Annuity Payments are usually lower if you select an Annuity Option that requires us to make more frequent Annuity Payments or to make payments over a longer period of time. If you choose life contingent Annuity Payments, payout rates for a younger Annuitant are lower than the payout rates for an older Annuitant and payout rates for life with a guaranteed period are typically lower than life only payments. Monthly payout rates are lower than annual payout rates, payout rates for a 10-year guaranteed period are less than payout rates for a 5-year guaranteed period, and payout rates for a 50-year-old Annuitant are less than payout rates for a 70-year-old Annuitant.

• If you do not choose an Annuity Option before the Annuity Date, we make Annuity Payments to the Payee

under Annuity Option C with ten years of guaranteed monthly payments.

• For Owners younger than age 59 1∕2, Annuity Payments may be subject to a 10% additional federal tax.

• For a Qualified Contract, the Annuity Payments must end ten years after the Owner’s death.

When Annuity Payments Begin

Annuity Payments must begin on the maximum Annuity Date stated in your Contract, which is the Index Anniversary that occurs on or immediately after the Annuitant reaches either age 90 or age 100 depending on the requirements of the Financial Professional from which you purchased your Contract. An earlier Annuity Date or a withdrawal may be required to satisfy minimum required distribution rules under certain Qualified Contracts. You can make an authorized request for an earlier Annuity Date after the Issue Date, but any such request is subject to applicable law and our approval. Your Annuity Date must occur on an Index Anniversary. The earliest available Annuity Date is the next Index Anniversary that occurs at least 13 months after the Issue Date.

• If Annuity Payments would be less than $100, we reserve the right to require you to take a full withdrawal and

your Contract will then terminate. We do not assess a withdrawal charge on this full withdrawal.

• If on the maximum Annuity Date your Contract Value is greater than zero, you must annuitize the Contract.

We notify you of your available options in writing 60 days in advance. If on your maximum Annuity Date you have

not selected an Annuity Option, we make payments under Annuity Option C with ten years of guaranteed monthly

payments. Upon annuitization you no longer have Contract Value or a death benefit, and you cannot receive any

other periodic withdrawals or payments other than Annuity Payments.

10. Death Benefit

“You” in this section refers to the Owner, or the Annuitant if the Contract is owned by a non-individual.

The Contract provides the Traditional Death Benefit for no additional charge. The death benefit is the greater of the Contract Value, or Guaranteed Death Benefit Value. The Traditional Death Benefit's Guaranteed Death Benefit Value is total Purchase Payments reduced proportionately for withdrawals you take (including any withdrawal charge).

The death benefit is only available during the Accumulation Phase. If you or the Determining Life (Lives) die during the Accumulation Phase, we process the death benefit using prices determined after we receive the required information, which is either a Valid Claim or due proof of death as stated here. (For information on due proof of death see the Glossary – Valid Claim). If we receive this information at or after the end of the current Business Day, we use the next Business Day’s prices.

If there are multiple Beneficiaries, each Beneficiary receives the portion of the death benefit he or she is entitled to when we receive his or her Valid Claim. If a Beneficiary dies before you or the Designated Life, that Beneficiary’s interest in this Contract ends unless your Beneficiary designation specifies otherwise. If there are no remaining Beneficiaries, or no named Beneficiaries, we pay the death benefit to your estate, or if the Owner is a non-individual, to the Owner. Unless you instruct us to pay Beneficiaries a specific percentage of the death benefit, each Beneficiary receives an equal share.

Each Beneficiary’s portion of the death benefit remains in the Allocation Options based on the allocation instructions that were in ~~Allianz~~effect ~~Index~~on ~~Advantage®~~the ~~New~~date ~~York~~of death until we receive his or her Valid Claim and we either pay the claim or the Beneficiary provides alternate allocation instructions. If there is Variable ~~Annuity~~Account ~~Prospectus~~Value –in ~~May~~the 1AZL Government Money Market Fund awaiting transfer to the Index Options on the date of death, ~~2023~~it remains there until the next Index Anniversary. If an Index Anniversary occurs before we receive a Valid Claim, we will transfer that Beneficiary’s portion of the Variable Account Value destined for the Index Options based on the allocation instructions that were in effect on the date of death.

58 From the time we determine the death benefit until we make a complete distribution, any amount in the Allocation Options continues to be subject to investment risk that is borne by the recipient(s). Once we receive notification of death, we may no longer accept or process transfer requests. After we receive the first Valid Claim from any Beneficiary, we also will not accept additional Purchase Payments or allow any partial or full withdrawals unless the withdrawal is required to comply with federal tax law.

~~named~~On ~~Beneficiaries,~~the wefirst ~~pay~~death ~~the~~of ~~death~~a ~~benefit~~Determining toLife ~~your~~during ~~estate,~~the orAccumulation Phase, if the ~~Owner~~Traditional Death Benefit is ain ~~non-individual~~effect, toyour Beneficiary(ies) will receive the ~~Owner~~greater of the Contract Value or Guaranteed Death Benefit Value. The ~~Unless~~ Guaranteed Death Benefit Value is total Purchase Payments reduced proportionately for withdrawals you ~~instruct~~take us(including toany ~~pay~~withdrawal charge). For ~~Beneficiaries~~example, aassume ~~specific~~total ~~percentage~~Purchase ofPayments are $90,000, you take no withdrawals, and the current Contract Value is $100,000. The death benefit, ~~each~~for ~~Beneficiary~~the ~~receives~~Traditional anDeath ~~equal~~Benefit ~~share~~is the $100,000 Contract Value.

Each Beneficiary’s portion of the death benefit remains in the Allocation Options based on the allocation instructions that were in effect on the date of death until we receive his or her Valid Claim and we either pay the claim or the Beneficiary provides alternate allocation instructions. If there is Variable Account Value in the AZL Government Money Market Fund awaiting transfer to the Index Options on the date of death, it remains there until the the next Index Anniversary. However, if before the next Index Anniversary we receive a Valid Claim and death benefit payment Option A, or Annuity Payments under death benefit payment Option C is selected, we transfer the Variable Account Value on the date we receive the Valid Claim. If an Index Anniversary occurs before we receive a Valid Claim, we will transfer that Beneficiary’s portion of the Variable Account Value destined for the Index Options based on the Purchase Payment default instructions that were in effect on the date of death.

From the time we determine the death benefit until we make a complete distribution, any amount in the Allocation Options continues to be subject to investment risk that is borne by the recipient(s). Once we receive notification of death, we may no longer accept or process transfer requests. After we receive the first Valid Claim from any Beneficiary we also will not accept additional Purchase Payments or allow any partial or full withdrawals unless the withdrawal is required to comply with federal tax law.

On the first death of a Determining Life during the Accumulation Phase, if the Traditional Death Benefit is in effect your Beneficiary(s) will receive the greater of the Contract Value or Guaranteed Death Benefit Value. The Guaranteed Death Benefit Value is total Purchase Payments reduced proportionately for withdrawals you take (including any withdrawal charge). For example, assume total Purchase Payments are $90,000, you take no withdrawals, and the current Contract Value is $100,000. The death benefit for the Traditional Death Benefit is the $100,000 Contract Value.

If the date we are determining the death benefit is not the Term End Date, the Contract Value reflects the Daily Adjustment. Withdrawals you take reduce your Guaranteed Death Benefit Value by the percentage of Contract Value withdrawn (including any withdrawal charge), determined at the end of each Business Day. All withdrawals you take reduce the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value and Contract Value, even Penalty-Free Withdrawals, and 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. Deductions for Contract fees and expenses will, however, decrease the Contract Value by the dollar amount withdrawn. In addition, because the death benefit is the greater of Contract Value or the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value, deductions we make for Contract fees and expenses may reduce the death benefit available to your Beneficiaries.

Examples of the impact of withdrawals for financial adviser fees that you choose to have us pay from this Contract on the death benefit are included in section 1.

What Happens Upon Death?

If you are the Determining Life, or if you and the Determining Life (Lives) are different individuals and die simultaneously as described in the discussion of Beneficiaries in section 2, Ownership, Annuitants, Determining Life, Beneficiaries and Payees, we determine the Traditional Death Benefit at the end of the Business Day we receive a Valid Claim. For multiple Beneficiaries, each surviving Beneficiary receives the greater of their portion of the:

•

Guaranteed Death Benefit Value determined at the end of the Business Day we receive the first Valid Claim from any one Beneficiary, or

Allianz Index Advantage+SM New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – [MMDD], 2024

•

Contract Value determined at the end of the Business Day during which we receive his or her Valid Claim.

In this instance, if the Beneficiary is:

−

a surviving spouse and chooses to continue the Contract;

−

selects death benefit payment Option B; or

−

selects death benefit payment Option C and takes payment over a period not extending beyond the Beneficiary’s life expectancy;

we increase the Contract Value to equal the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value if greater when we receive a Valid Claim.

If you and the Determining Life (Lives) are different individuals and do not die simultaneously, the death benefit is as follows. This can only occur if you change the Owner after the Issue Date.

•

If a Determining Life dies before you, we do not pay a death benefit to the Beneficiary(sies), but we may increase the Contract Value if the Traditional Death Benefit is still in effect. At the end of the Business Day we receive due proof of a Determining Life’s death, we increase the Contract Value to equal the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value if greater, and the Traditional Death Benefit ends. We allocate any Contract Value increase to the Allocation Options according to your Purchase Payment default instructions. If your Purchase Payment default instructions include a temporarily unavailable Index Option we will transfer the assets destined for the temporarily unavailable Index Option to the AZL Government Money Market Fund and the assets will remain there until we receive alternate instructions.

•

Upon your death, your Beneficiary(sies) receive the Contract Value determined at the end of the Business Day during which we receive each Beneficiary’s Valid Claim.

Upon the death of a Determining Life, if we increase the Contract Value to equal the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value, we allocate this ~~Allianz~~increase to the Variable Option. On the next Index ~~Advantage®~~Anniversary, ~~New~~we ~~York~~transfer ~~Variable~~these ~~Annuity~~assets ~~Prospectus~~according –to ~~May~~the allocation instructions. However, if the allocation instructions include any temporarily unavailable Index Option(s), those assets will remain in the Variable Option until either, (1) we receive a change to allocation instructions that transfer these assets to available Index Option(s), ~~2023~~or (2) an Early Reallocation is executed.

The Traditional Death Benefit ends upon the earliest of the following.

•

The Business Day before the Annuity Date.

•

The Business Day that the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value and Contract Value are both zero.

•

Upon the death of a Determining Life, the end of the Business Day we receive a Valid Claim from all Beneficiaries if you and the Determining Life are the same individuals, or if you and the Determining Life (Lives) are different individuals and die simultaneously.

•

Upon the death of a Determining Life, the end of the Business Day we receive due proof of the Determining Life’s death if you and the Determining Life (Lives) are different individuals and do not die simultaneously.

•

Upon the death of an Owner (or Annuitant if the Owner is a non-individual), the end of the Business Day we receive the first Valid Claim from any one Beneficiary, if the Owner (or Annuitant) is no longer a Determining Life.

•

The Business Day the Contract ends.

We base the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value on the first death of a Determining Life (or Lives). This means that upon the death of an Owner (or Annuitant if the Owner is a non-individual), if a surviving spouse continues the Contract, the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value is no longer available. Also, if you and the Determining Life (Lives) are different individuals and you die first, the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value is not available to your Beneficiary(sies).

Death of the Owner and/or Annuitant

~~The~~ Appendix A to the Form N-4 SAI includes tables that are intended to help you better understand what happens upon the death of any Owner and/or Annuitant under the different ~~portions~~phases of the Contract.

Death Benefit Payment Options During the Accumulation Phase

Each Beneficiary must select one of the death benefit payment options listed below.

If a Beneficiary requests a lump sum payment under Option A, we pay that Beneficiary within seven days of receipt of his or her Valid Claim, unless the suspension of payments or transfers provision is in effect. Payment of the death benefit may be delayed, pending receipt of any state forms.

Spousal Continuation: If the Beneficiary is the deceased Owner’s spouse, he or she can choose to continue the Contract with the portion of the death benefit the spouse is entitled to in his or her own name. However, spousal continuation is not available if this is an Inherited IRA, or Inherited Roth IRA. For an IRA, Roth IRA, or SEP IRA Contract, spousal continuation can only occur if the surviving spouse is the Contract’s sole primary Beneficiary. For Qualified ~~Contracts~~ ~~purchased through a qualified plan and non-individually owned~~ Contracts, spousal continuation is only available to Qualified Contracts through a direct rollover to an IRA. Spouses must qualify as such under federal law to continue the Contract. Individuals who have entered into a registered domestic partnership, civil union, or other similar relationship that is not considered to be a marriage under state law are also not considered to be married under federal law. An election by the spouse to continue the Contract must be made on the death claim form before we pay the death benefit. If the deceased Owner was a Determining Life and the surviving spouse Beneficiary continues the Contract, at the end of the Business Day we receive his or her Valid Claim we increase the Contract Value to equal the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value if greater and available, and the Traditional Death Benefit ends. We allocate any Contract Value increase to the Allocation Options according to Purchase Payment default instructions. If your Purchase Payment default instructions include a temporarily unavailable Index Option we will transfer the assets destined for the temporarily unavailable Index Option to the AZL Government Money Market Fund and the assets will remain there until we receive alternate instructions. If the surviving spouse continues the Contract:

Allianz Index Advantage+SM New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – [MMDD], 2024

purchased through a qualified plan and non-individually owned Contracts, spousal continuation is only available to Qualified Contracts through a direct rollover to an IRA. Spouses must qualify as such under federal law to continue the Contract. Individuals who have entered into a registered domestic partnership, civil union, or other similar relationship that is not considered to be a marriage under state law are also not considered to be married under federal law. An election by the spouse to continue the Contract must be made on the death claim form before we pay the death benefit. If the deceased Owner was a Determining Life and the surviving spouse Beneficiary continues the Contract, at the end of the Business Day we receive his or her Valid Claim, we increase the Contract Value to equal the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value if greater and available, and the Traditional Death Benefit ends. If the surviving spouse continues the Contract:

•

he or she becomes the new Owner and may exercise all of the Owner’s rights, including naming a new Beneficiary or Beneficiaries;

•

he or she is subject to any remaining withdrawal charge; and

•

upon the surviving spouse’s death, their Beneficiary(sies) receive the Contract Value determined at the end of the Business Day during which we receive a Valid Claim from each Beneficiary.

Death Benefit Payment Options

The following applies to Non-Qualified Contracts. Different rules may apply to Qualified Contracts. For more information, please see section 11, Taxes – Distributions Upon the Owner’s Death (or Annuitant’s Death if the Owner is a Non-Individual).

Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – May 1, 2023

Option A: Lump sum payment of the death benefit.

Option B: Payment of the entire death benefit within five years of the date of any Owner’s death. The Beneficiary can continue to make transfers between Allocation Options and is subject to a ~~transfer fee and a~~ 1.25% M&E charge for any amounts allocated to the Variable ~~Options~~Option.

Option C: If the Beneficiary is an individual, payment of the death benefit as Annuity Payments under Annuity Options 1A, 2B, or 5C. If you take the death benefit as Annuity Payments, we do not require that the Annuity Date occur on an Index Anniversary. With our written consent other options may be available for payment over a period not extending beyond the Beneficiary’s life expectancy under which the Beneficiary can continue to make transfers between Allocation Options and is subject to a ~~transfer fee and a~~ 1.25% M&E charge for any amounts allocated to the Variable ~~Options~~Option.

Distribution from Non-Qualified Contracts under Option C must begin within one year of the date of the Owner’s death. Any portion of the death benefit from Non-Qualified Contracts not applied to Annuity Payments within one year of the date of the Owner’s death must be distributed within five years of the date of death.

If a Non-Qualified Contract is owned by a non-individual, then we treat the death of an Annuitant as the death of an Owner for purposes of the Code’s distribution at death rules, which are set forth in Section 72(s) of the Code.

In all events, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Contract or this prospectus, a Non-Qualified Contract is interpreted and administered in accordance with Section 72(s) of the Code.

11. Taxes

This section provides a summary explanation of the tax ramifications of purchasing a Contract. We do not provide individual tax advice. You should contact your tax adviser to discuss this Contract’s effects on your personal tax situation.

Annuity Contracts in General

Annuity contracts are a means of setting aside money for future needs – usually retirement. Congress recognized the importance of saving for retirement and provided special rules in the Code for annuities.

There are different rules regarding how you will be taxed, depending upon how you take the money out and whether the annuity is Qualified or Non-Qualified. Generally, any taxable distribution is subject to ~~federal~~ income ~~tax~~taxes ~~and any applicable state income tax~~ at ordinary income tax rates (instead of capital gains rates).

You can purchase either a Qualified Contract or a Non-Qualified Contract. If you do not purchase one of the various types of Qualified Contracts described in this section, the Contract is referred to as a Non-Qualified Contract.

This prospectus does not address specific state tax laws. You should discuss state taxation with your tax adviser.

Allianz Index Advantage+SM New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – [MMDD], 2024

Qualified Contracts

If you purchase the Contract as an IRA, Roth IRA, SEP IRA, Inherited IRA, Inherited Roth IRA, or to fund a qualified retirement plan, the Contract is referred to as a Qualified Contract. Qualified Contracts are subject to certain restrictions under the Code, including restrictions on the amount of annual contributions, restrictions on how much you can earn and still be able to contribute to a Qualified Contract, and specialized restrictions on withdrawals. Qualified Contracts must be purchased from earned income from the relevant year or years, or from a rollover or transfer from a qualified contract. An IRA to IRA indirect rollover can occur only once in any twelve-month period from all of the IRAs you currently own. Adverse tax consequences may result if contributions, distributions, and transactions in connection with the Qualified Contract do not comply with the law.

A Qualified Contract funded by an annuity does not provide any additional tax deferral. However, the Contract has features and benefits other than tax deferral that may make it appropriate for an IRA or qualified retirement plan. You should consult your tax adviser regarding these features and benefits before purchasing a Qualified Contract.

Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – May 1, 2023

We may issue the following types of Qualified Contracts to an individual. Purchasers of a Contract for use with IRAs have the right to revoke their purchase within seven days of the earliest of the establishment of the IRA, or their purchase.

•

IRA (traditional IRA). Section 408 of the Code permits eligible individuals to fund IRAs. IRA contributions are limited each year to the lesser of a dollar amount specified in the Code or 100% of the amount of earned income included in the Owner’s income. Contributions may be tax deductible based on the Owner’s income. Contributions must be made in cash. The limit on the amount contributed to an IRA does not apply to distributions from certain other types of IRAs or qualified retirement plans that are transferred or rolled over on a tax-deferred basis into an IRA.

•

Roth IRA. Section 408A of the Code permits certain eligible individuals to contribute to a Roth IRA. Contributions to a Roth IRA are limited each year to the lesser of a dollar amount specified in the Code or 100% of the amount of earned income included in the Owner’s income. Contributions are also limited or prohibited if the Owner’s income is above certain limits. Contributions must be made in cash. The limit on the amount contributed to a Roth IRA does not apply to distributions from certain other types of IRAs or qualified retirement plans that are transferred or rolled over (conversion) into a Roth IRA.

Conversions to a Roth IRA from an IRA or other eligible qualified retirement plan are permitted regardless of an individual’s income. A conversion to a Roth IRA results in a taxable event, but not a 10% additional federal tax for early withdrawal if certain qualifications are met (please consult your tax adviser for more details).

•

SEP IRA. Employers may establish SEP IRAs under Code Section 408(k) to provide IRA contributions on behalf of their employees. In addition to all of the general rules governing IRAs, such plans are subject to additional requirements and different contribution limits.

•

Inherited IRA and Inherited Roth IRA. The Code permits beneficiaries of investments that were issued under qualified retirement plans or IRAs to directly transfer the death benefit from that investment into a variable annuity contract (Inherited IRA or Inherited Roth IRA). If you purchase this Contract as a transfer from another carrier, you will become the Owner of the new Inherited IRA or Inherited Roth IRA Contract. The ownership of this Contract will also reflect the name of the deceased previous owner. Once an Inherited IRA or Inherited Roth IRA is established, no further Purchase Payments can be made. We may choose not to allow this Contact to be purchased as an Inherited IRA or Inherited Roth IRA.

We may issue the following type of Qualified Contract to a qualified retirement plan.

•

Qualified Retirement Plans: Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans. A qualified plan is a retirement or pension plan that meets the requirements for tax qualification under the Code. Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Code permit employers, including self-employed individuals, to establish various types of retirement plans for employees. These retirement plans may permit the purchase of the Contracts to provide benefits under the plan. Contributions to the plan for the benefit of employees are not included in the gross income of the employee until distributed from the plan. The tax consequences to participants may vary, depending upon the particular plan design. Participant loans are not allowed under the Contracts purchased in connection with these plans.

If the Contract is purchased for a qualified plan under Section 401 of the Code, the plan is both the Owner and the Beneficiary. The authorized signatory, plan administrator, or plan trustee for the plan must make representations to us that the plan is qualified under the Code on the Issue Date and is intended to continue to be qualified for the entire Accumulation Phase of the Contract, or as long as the qualified plan owns the Contract. The qualified plan may designate a third party administrator to act on its behalf. All tax reporting is the responsibility of the plan. In the event the qualified plan instructs us to roll the plan assets into an IRA for the Annuitant under this Contract, we change the qualification type of the Contract to an IRA and make the Annuitant the Owner. The qualified plan is responsible for any reporting required for the rollover transactions out of the plan. We are responsible for any reporting required for the Contract as an IRA.

Allianz Index Advantage+SM New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – [MMDD], 2024

the qualified plan instructs us to roll the plan assets into an IRA for the Annuitant under this Contract, we change the qualification type of the Contract to an IRA and make the Annuitant the Owner. The qualified plan is responsible for any reporting required for the rollover transactions out of the plan. We are responsible for any reporting required for the Contract as an IRA.

Purchasers of Contracts for use with pension or profit-sharing plans should obtain competent tax advice as to the tax treatment and suitability of holding an annuity within a plan. Because of the minimum Purchase Payment requirements, these Contracts may not be appropriate for some retirement plans that are funded on a periodic basis. Owners, Annuitants and Beneficiaries are cautioned that benefits under a Qualified Contract may be subject to the terms and conditions of the plan regardless of the terms and conditions of the Contracts issued pursuant to the plan. Some retirement plans are subject to distribution and other requirements that are not incorporated into our administrative procedures. We are not bound by the terms and conditions of such plans to the extent such terms conflict with the terms of a Contract, unless we specifically consent to be bound. Owners, participants, and Beneficiaries are responsible for determining that contributions, distributions and other transactions with respect to the Contracts comply with applicable law. We may choose not to allow pension or profit-sharing plans to purchase this Contract.

Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – May 1, 2023

Summary of Individuals and Entities That Can Own a Qualified Contract

Currently, we offer the following types of Qualified Contracts.

Type of Contract	Persons and Entities that can own the Contract
IRA	Must have the same individual as Owner and Annuitant.
Roth IRA	Must have the same individual as Owner and Annuitant.
SEP IRA	Must have the same individual as Owner and Annuitant.
Certain Code Section 401 Plans	A qualified retirement plan is the Owner and the Annuitant must be an individual who is a participant in the plan. If the qualified retirement plan is a defined benefit plan, the individual must be the only participant in the plan. We may determine which types of qualified retirement plans are eligible to purchase this Contract.
Inherited IRA and Inherited Roth IRA	Must have the same individual as Owner and Annuitant. The deceased owner of the previously held tax-qualified arrangement will also be listed in the titling of the Contract.

Non-Qualified Contracts

You can instead purchase a Non-Qualified Contract, which is not qualified pursuant to a specialized provision of the Code. There are no Code restrictions on annual contributions to a Non-Qualified Contract or how much you can earn and still contribute to a Contract.

Non-Qualified Contracts Owned by Non-Individuals

When a Non-Qualified Contract is owned by a non-individual (other than a trust holding the Contract as an agent for an individual), the Contract is not generally treated as an annuity for tax purposes. This means that the Contract may not receive the benefits of tax deferral and any Contract earnings may be taxable every year.

Taxation of Withdrawals

Section 72 of the Code governs taxation of annuities in general. An Owner is generally not taxed on increases in the value of a Contract until a distribution occurs, either in the form of withdrawals or as Annuity Payments.

For a full withdrawal (total redemption), a partial withdrawal, or a death benefit, the recipient is taxed on the portion of the payment that exceeds your investment in the Contract (often referred to as cost basis). For Non-Qualified Contracts, this cost basis is generally the Purchase Payments, while for Qualified Contracts there is generally no cost basis, which means the withdrawal is fully taxable, except for qualified distributions from Roth IRAs and IRAs where you have separately tracked and reported any after-tax contributions that you have made.

For Non-Qualified Contracts, the taxable portion of a partial withdrawal is the portion of the payment considered to be gain in the Contract (for example, the difference, if any, between the Contract Value immediately before the withdrawal, unreduced by any withdrawal charges, and the Contract’s cost basis). The withdrawals are generally taxed as though you were paid taxable earnings first, and then as a non-taxable return of Purchase Payments.

Allianz Index Advantage+SM New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – [MMDD], 2024

Distributions from a Roth IRA generally are not subject to income tax if the Roth IRA has been held for five years (starting with the year in which the first contribution is made to any Roth IRA) and the Owner satisfies a triggering event such as attaining age 59 1∕2, death, disability or a first time homebuyer (subject to a $10,000 lifetime limit).

Distribution before satisfying the five year period or triggering event requirement may subject the distribution to taxation. Please be aware that each Roth IRA conversion has its own five year holding period requirement for purposes of determining if the 10% additional federal tax described below applies.

10% Additional Federal Tax

Withdrawals (whether partial or full) and Annuity Payments taken before age 59 1∕2 are subject to a 10% additional federal tax unless an exception applies. The exceptions are different for Qualified Contracts and Non-Qualified Contracts, and are also different for IRAs and qualified plans. If the Contract is jointly owned, we send one check payable to both Joint Owners and we tax report to each Joint Owner individually. Tax reporting to each Joint Owner individually can create a discrepancy in taxation if only one Joint Owner is under age 59 1∕2 because that Joint Owner ~~will~~ may be subject to the 10% additional federal tax.

Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – May 1, 2023

distributions from an IRA made to you, to the extent such distributions do not exceed your qualified higher education expenses (as defined in Section 72(t)(7) of the Code) for the tax year;

distributions made to a reservist called to active duty after September 11, 2001, for a period in excess of 179 days (or for an indefinite period), from IRAs or amounts attributable to elective deferrals under a 401(k) plan made during such active period;

12)

distributions made during the payment period starting on the birth of a child or the finalization of an adoption (up to $5,000);

13)

distributions that are qualified disaster recovery distributions;

14)

distributions due to having a terminal illness;

15)

distributions that are emergency personal expense distributions up to $1,000 after December 31, 2023; and

16)

distributions that are eligible distributions as a domestic abuse victim, not to exceed the lesser of $10,000 or 50% of the IRA or qualified plan vested benefit value, after December 31, 2023.

With respect to (12) through (16) above, a qualified birth or adoption distribution, a qualified disaster recovery distribution, a terminal illness distribution, an emergency personal expense distribution and an eligible distribution as a domestic abuse victim may each be repaid any time within the 3-year period from the date the distribution was received in one or more contributions into an IRA or qualified retirement plan (if you are eligible to make a contribution to the qualified retirement plan). The repayment contribution will be treated as a rollover into the IRA or qualified retirement plan.

With respect to (3) above, if the series of substantially equal periodic payments is modified before the later of the Annuitant attaining age 59 1∕2 or the close of the five year period that began on the date the first payment was received, then the tax for the year of the modification is increased by the 10% additional federal tax, plus interest for the tax years in which the exception was used. A partial withdrawal, or prior to January 1, 2024, a partial transfer, or partial rollover taken after a series of substantially equal periodic payments has begun will result in the modification of the series of substantially equal payments and therefore will result in the imposition of the 10% additional federal tax and interest for the period as described above. You should obtain competent tax advice before you take any partial withdrawals from your Contract. Adding Purchase Payments to a Contract that is making substantially equal periodic payments will also result in a modification of the payments.

after a series of substantially equal periodic payments has begun will result in the modification of the series of substantially equal payments and therefore will result in the imposition of the 10% additional federal tax and interest for the period as described above. You should obtain competent tax advice before you take any partial withdrawals from your Contract. Adding Purchase Payments to a Contract that is making substantially equal periodic payments will also result in a modification of the payments.

For 2020 only, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, permitted corona-virus related distributions from Qualified Contracts and IRAs up to an aggregate amount of $100,000. This type of distribution was an exception to the 10% additional federal tax. To qualify for the distribution, generally you, your spouse, or dependent had to have been diagnosed with the virus, or you had to have been affected economically in certain ways because of the virus. The tax associated with the distributions may be paid ratably over three years, beginning with the 2020 tax year. The CARES Act also allows you to recontribute the amount you withdrew to an eligible retirement plan (to which you can make a rollover contribution) in one or more payments within three years.

Exceptions to the 10% Additional Federal Tax for Non-Qualified Contracts

paid on or after you reach age 59 1∕2;

paid after you die;

paid if you become totally disabled (as that term is defined in Section 72(m)(7) of the Code);

paid in a series of substantially equal payments made annually (or more frequently) for your life (or life expectancy) or joint lives of you and your designated Beneficiary;

paid as annuity payments under an immediate annuity; or

that come from Purchase Payments made before August 14, 1982.

With respect to (4) above, if the series of substantially equal periodic payments is modified before the later of your attaining age 59 1∕2 or the close of the five year period that began on the date the first payment was received, then the tax for the year of the modification is increased by the 10% additional federal tax, plus interest, for the tax years in which the exception was used. A partial withdrawal or prior to January 1, 2024, a partial 1035 exchange taken after a series of substantially equal periodic payments has begun will result in the modification of the series of substantially equal payments and therefore will result in the imposition of the 10% additional federal tax and interest for the period as described above. Adding Purchase Payments to a Contract that is making substantially equal periodic payments will also result in a modification of the payments.

Non-Qualified Annuity Medicare Tax

Distributions from Non-Qualified Contracts are considered investment income for purposes of the Medicare tax on investment income. Thus, in certain circumstances, a 3.8% tax may apply to some or all of the taxable portion of distributions (e.g. earnings) to individuals whose income exceeds certain threshold amounts ($200,000 for filing single, $250,000 for married filing jointly and $125,000 for married filing separately.) This tax does not apply to distributions from Qualified Contracts. Please consult a tax adviser for more information.

Payments for Financial Adviser Fees

Any financial adviser fees that you choose to have us pay from this Contract to your Financial Professional or Financial Professional's firm may result in a taxable distribution. Please consult with your Financial Professional before requesting us to pay financial adviser fees from this Contract rather than from other assets you may have.

RMDs From Qualified Contracts

Distributions from a Qualified Contract must commence no later than the required beginning date. For Roth IRAs, no distributions are required during the Owner’s lifetime. For IRAs other than Roth IRAs, the required beginning date is April 1 of the calendar year following the year in which you attain age 73. If you reached age 70 1∕2 on or before December 31, 2019, then age 70 1∕2 applies instead of age 73. If you reached age 72 on or before December 31, 2022, then age 72 applies instead of age 73. If you reach age 74 after December 31, 2032, then age 75 applies instead of age 73. Under a qualified plan or 403(b), the required beginning date is generally April 1 of the calendar year following the later of the calendar year in which you reach the age noted for IRAs above or retire.

Generally, RMDs must be made over a period not exceeding the life or life expectancy of the individual or the joint lives or life expectancies of the individual and his or her designated Beneficiary. If the RMDs are not made, a 25% excise tax is imposed as to the amount not distributed. If you are attempting to satisfy these rules through partial withdrawals, the present value of future benefits provided under the Contract may need to be included in calculating the amount required to be distributed. If you enroll in our minimum distribution program, we make RMD payments to you that are designed to meet this Contract’s RMD requirements.

Diversification

Code Section 817(h) and accompanying Treasury Department Regulations ~~imposes~~impose diversification standards on the assets underlying variable annuity contracts. The Code provides that a variable annuity contract cannot be treated as an annuity contract for any period during which its investments are not adequately diversified as required by the United States Treasury Department. If the Contract no longer qualifies as an annuity contract, you would be subject to federal income tax each year with respect to Contract earnings accrued. We intend to manage all available Index Options, and we intend that all available Variable Options be managed by the investment advisers so that they comply with these diversification standards.

Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – May 1, 2023

Owner Control

The Treasury Department has indicated that the diversification regulations do not provide guidance regarding the circumstances in which an Owner’s control of the Separate Account’s investments may cause the Owner to be treated as the owner of the Separate Account’s assets, which would cause the Contract to lose its favorable tax treatment. In certain circumstances, variable annuity contract owners have been considered for federal income tax purposes to be the owners of the separate account’s assets, due to their ability to exercise investment control over those assets. In this case, the contract owners have been currently taxed on income and gains attributable to the variable account assets. There is little guidance in this area and some of our Contract’s features, such as the flexibility of an Owner to allocate Purchase Payments and transfer amounts among any available Variable Options, have not been explicitly addressed in published rulings. While we believe that the Contracts do not give Owners investment control over Separate Account assets, we reserve the right to modify the Contracts as necessary to prevent an Owner from being treated as the owner of the Separate Account assets.

Taxation of Annuity Payments

For Annuity Payments from Non-Qualified Contracts, the portion of each payment included in income is determined by an exclusion ratio. The exclusion ratio is a calculation that causes a portion of each Annuity Payment to be non-taxable, based upon the percentage of your Contract Value that is from Purchase Payments. We determine the exclusion ratio for Annuity Payments by dividing the investment in the Contract (adjusted for any guaranteed period or refund guarantee) by the expected return anticipated to be paid as Annuity Payments (which is determined by Treasury Regulations). We determine the amount of each Annuity Payment that is excluded from income by multiplying the Annuity Payment by the exclusion ratio. Annuity Payments received after the investment in the Contract has been recovered (for example, when the total of the amounts excluded from income equal the investment in the Contract) are fully taxable.

Generally, Annuity Payments from Qualified Contracts are fully taxable unless you have separately tracked and reported any after-tax contributions that you have made. Annuity Payments that are qualified distributions from Roth IRAs are federal income tax free. Owners, Annuitants and Beneficiaries under the Contracts should seek competent financial advice about the tax consequences of any distributions.

Distributions Upon the Owner’s Death (or Annuitant’s Death If the Owner Is a Non-individual)

Section 72(s) of the Code requires that, to be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, a Non-Qualified Contract must contain certain provisions regarding distributions when an Owner dies. Specifically, Section 72(s) requires that: (a) if an Annuitant dies on or after you annuitize the Contract, but before distribution of the entire Contract’s interest, the entire Contract’s interest must be distributed at least as rapidly as under the distribution method being used as of the Annuitant’s date of death; and (b) if any Owner (or the Annuitant if the Owner is a non-individual) dies before you annuitize the Contract, the Contract’s entire interest must be distributed within five years after the Owner’s date of death.

These requirements are satisfied as to any part of an Owner’s interest that is payable to, or for the benefit of, a designated Beneficiary and distributed over the designated Beneficiary’s life, or over a period not extending beyond that Beneficiary’s life expectancy, provided that distributions begin within one year of the Owner’s death. The designated Beneficiary refers to an individual designated by the Owner as a Beneficiary and to whom ownership of the Contract passes by reason of death.

Allianz Index Advantage+SM New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – [MMDD], 2024

However, if the designated Beneficiary is the deceased Owner’s surviving spouse, the surviving spouse can continue the Contract as the new Owner. If a couple is married in a jurisdiction (including a foreign country) that recognizes same-sex marriage, that marriage will be recognized for all federal tax purposes regardless of the law in the jurisdiction where they reside. However, the IRS did not recognize civil unions and registered domestic partnerships as marriages for federal tax purposes.

Same-sex civil union couples, domestic partners and spouses should contact their financial professional and a qualified tax adviser regarding their personal tax situation, the implications of any Contract benefits based on a spousal relationship, and their partner’s/spouse’s rights and benefits under the Contract.

Non-Qualified Contracts contain provisions that are intended to comply with these Code requirements.

Upon death of an Owner of a Qualified Contract, the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement (SECURE) Act (contained within the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act enacted December 20, 2019) made significant changes to the payment options available to Beneficiaries of Owners who die on or after January 1, 2020. The rules discussed below reference IRA Contracts, but similar rules also apply to qualified retirement plans. With some exceptions, IRA Beneficiaries must receive their entire death benefit by December 31 following the tenth anniversary of the IRA Owner’s death.

Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – May 1, 2023

reference IRA Contracts, but similar rules also apply to qualified retirement plans. With some exceptions, IRA Beneficiaries must receive their entire death benefit by December 31 following the tenth anniversary of the IRA Owner’s death.

The payment options for IRA Beneficiaries differ depending on several factors, including whether a Beneficiary is an Eligible Designated Beneficiary (EDB). An EDB includes any Beneficiary of the deceased IRA Owner who at time of death is: 1) the surviving spouse, 2) an individual not more than ten years younger than the IRA Owner, 3) a minor child of the IRA Owner, 4) a chronically ill individual, or 5) disabled individual. EDB status is determined at the IRA Owner’s death.

If you are an EDB, then you can begin RMD payments based on your single life expectancy (“stretch payments”) in the year following the deceased Owner’s death. You must begin to receive these RMD payments by December 31 of the year following the deceased Owner’s death (but see the exception for a spouse beneficiary below). If you are an EDB that elected to receive payments over your life expectancy, once you die, then your beneficiary must receive their entire death benefit by December 31 following the tenth anniversary of your death. Proposed Treasury regulations would also require your beneficiary in certain circumstances to continue stretch payments during this 10-year period.

For a minor child Beneficiary, the payments based on life expectancy may continue only until the minor child reaches the age of majority (age 21 or the age specified in Treasury Regulations). The minor child Beneficiary must receive their entire death benefit by December 31 following the tenth anniversary of reaching the age of majority.

If you were the spouse Beneficiary of the deceased Owner’s IRA Contract and your spouse had not yet reached the date at which he/she was required to begin receiving RMD payments (treating a Roth IRA as a traditional IRA for this purpose only), then you can wait to begin receiving RMD payments until the year that your spouse would have reached age 73 (age 75 if your spouse would have reached age 74 after December 31, 2032). Alternatively, if the deceased Owner had already reached the date at which he/she was required to begin receiving RMD payments, you must begin to receive these RMD payments by December 31 of the year following the deceased Owner’s death.

If you are a designated Beneficiary (generally an individual), but are not an EDB, the entire death benefit must be distributed by December 31 after the tenth anniversary of the IRA Owner’s death. If you die before the end of the ten-year period and the entire death benefit has not been distributed, your beneficiary must receive the entire death benefit by the same date you would have been required to receive the death benefit. Proposed Treasury regulations would require you to receive a RMD each year if the Owner died on or after their required beginning date.

If the Beneficiary of the IRA Contract is a trust, current Treasury Regulations provide “see-through” treatment for trusts that meet certain requirements. If such treatment applies, the beneficiaries of the trust, rather than the trust itself will be treated as having been designated as beneficiaries of the IRA Contract for purposes of determining the distribution period for RMD payments. Due to the changes made by SECURE, there is uncertainty regarding which distribution options are available when a trust is the Beneficiary of an IRA Contract. Proposed Treasury regulations provide some additional information. Further clarification of situations involving trust Beneficiaries is expected to be provided when the Treasury Department finalizes proposed regulations. Individuals are encouraged to seek guidance from their own tax professional or legal counsel to determine how these new rules apply to their particular situation.

If the IRA Beneficiary is not a “designated beneficiary” (e.g., beneficiary is an estate, charity, or a trust that does not meet the requirements for “see-through” treatment), then the payment options are unchanged by the SECURE Act. If the IRA Owner had not yet reached the date at which he/she was required to begin receiving RMD payments (treating a Roth IRA as a traditional IRA for this purpose only), then these IRA Beneficiaries must receive their entire death benefit by December 31 following the fifth anniversary of the IRA Owner’s death. Alternatively, if the deceased Owner had already reached the date at which he/she was required to begin receiving RMD payments, these IRA Beneficiaries can begin RMD payments based on the single life expectancy of the Owner in the year of the deceased Owner’s death, reduced by one. These Beneficiaries must begin to receive these RMD payments by December 31 of the year following the deceased Owner’s death.

Allianz Index Advantage+SM New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – [MMDD], 2024

as a traditional IRA for this purpose only), then these IRA Beneficiaries must receive their entire death benefit by December 31 following the fifth anniversary of the IRA Owner’s death. Alternatively, if the deceased Owner had already reached the date at which he/she was required to begin receiving RMD payments, these IRA Beneficiaries can begin RMD payments based on the single life expectancy of the Owner in the year of the deceased Owner’s death, reduced by one. These Beneficiaries must begin to receive these RMD payments by December 31 of the year following the deceased Owner’s death.

The SECURE Act impacts situations when the IRA Owner died before January 1, 2020 and the Beneficiary had elected stretch payments. In this situation, the stretch payments can continue to the Beneficiary, but once that Beneficiary dies, the successor beneficiary must receive any remaining death benefit by December 31 following the tenth anniversary of the original Beneficiary’s death. Proposed Treasury regulations would require the successor beneficiary to receive a RMD payment each year.

Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – May 1, 2023

The SECURE Act may limit the annuitization options that a Beneficiary may elect at the IRA Owner’s death to comply with the new death benefit payment rules. Also, if an IRA Owner elected an annuitization option and then dies, action may be needed by the Beneficiary if any remaining Annuity Payments do not comply with the new death benefit payment rules for a Beneficiary.

Tax-Free Section 1035 Exchanges

Subject to certain restrictions, you can make a “tax-free” exchange under Section 1035 of the Code for all or a portion of one non-qualified annuity contract for another, or all of a life insurance policy for a non-qualified annuity contract. If you perform a partial 1035 exchange, please be aware that no distributions or withdrawals can occur from the old or new annuity contract within 180 days of the partial exchange, unless you qualify for an exception to this rule. IRS guidance also provides that certain partial exchanges may not qualify as tax-free exchanges. You should consult a tax adviser to discuss the potential tax effects before making a 1035 exchange.

Before making an exchange, you should compare both contracts carefully. Remember that if you exchange a life insurance policy or annuity contract for the Contract described in this prospectus:

•

you might have to pay a withdrawal charge on your previous contract,

•

there is a new withdrawal charge period for this Contract,

•

other fees and expenses under this Contract may be higher (or lower),

•

the benefits may be different, and

•

you no longer have access to any benefits from your previous contract.

If the exchange does not qualify for Section 1035 treatment, you also may have to pay federal income tax, including a possible additional federal tax, on the exchange. You should not exchange an existing life insurance policy or another annuity contract for this Contract unless you determine the exchange is in your best interest and not just better for the person selling you the Contract who generally earns a commission on each sale.

Multiple Non-Qualified Contracts Purchased In the Same Year By the Same Owner

Code Section 72(e)(12) provides that multiple Non-Qualified deferred annuity contracts issued within the same calendar year to the same owner by one company or its affiliates are treated as one annuity contract for purposes of determining a distribution’s tax consequences. This treatment may result in adverse tax consequences, including more rapid taxation of distributions from combined contracts. For purposes of this rule, contracts received in a Section 1035 exchange are considered issued in the year of the exchange. You should consult a tax adviser before requesting a distribution if you purchased more than one Non-Qualified Contract in any calendar year period.

Assignments, Pledges and Gratuitous Transfers

Any assignment or pledge (or agreement to assign or pledge) the Contract Value is treated for federal income tax purposes as a full withdrawal. The Contract will not qualify for tax deferral while the assignment or pledge is effective. Qualified Contracts generally cannot be assigned, pledged, or transferred to another individual. For Non-Qualified Contracts, the Contract’s cost basis is increased by the amount includible as income with respect to such amount or portion, though it is not affected by any other aspect of the assignment or pledge (including its release). If an Owner transfers a Non-Qualified Contract (an ownership change) without adequate consideration to a person other than their spouse (or to a former spouse incident to divorce), the Owner is taxed on the difference between his or her Contract Value and the Contract’s cost basis at the time of transfer. In such case, the transferee’s investment in the Contract is increased to reflect the increase in the transferor’s income. An Owner should consult a tax adviser before requesting an assignment, transfer, or pledge.

Allianz Index Advantage+SM New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – [MMDD], 2024

Income Tax Withholding

Any part of a distribution that is taxable to the Owner or Beneficiary is subject to federal and/or state income tax withholding. Generally, we withhold amounts from Annuity Payments at the same rate as wages, and we withhold 10% from non-periodic payments, such as withdrawals. However, in most cases, you may elect not to have taxes withheld or to have withholding done at a different rate.

Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – May 1, 2023

Certain distributions from retirement plans qualified under Code Section 401 that are not directly rolled over to another eligible retirement plan or IRA, are subject to a mandatory 20% federal income tax withholding. The 20% withholding requirement generally does not apply to:

•

a series of substantially equal payments made at least annually for the life or life expectancy of the participant or joint and last survivor expectancy of the participant and a designated Beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more; or

•

RMDs; or

•

any part of a distribution not included in gross income (for example, returns of after-tax contributions); or

•

hardship withdrawals.

Plan participants should consult a tax adviser regarding income tax withholding requirements.

Federal Estate Taxes

While no attempt is being made to discuss the Contract’s federal estate tax implications, an Owner should keep in mind the annuity contract’s value payable to a Beneficiary upon the Owner’s death is included in the deceased Owner’s gross estate. Depending on the annuity contract, the annuity’s value included in the gross estate may be the value of the lump sum payment payable to the designated Beneficiary, or the actuarial value of the payments to be received by the Beneficiary. Consult an estate planning adviser for more information.

Generation-Skipping Transfer Tax

The Code may impose a “generation-skipping transfer tax” when all or part of an annuity contract is transferred to, or a death benefit is paid to, an individual two or more generations younger than the Owner. Regulations may require us to deduct this tax from your Contract, or from any applicable payment, and pay it directly to the IRS.

Foreign Tax Credits

We may benefit from any foreign tax credits attributable to taxes paid by certain funds to foreign jurisdictions to the extent permitted under the federal tax law.

Possible Tax Law Changes

Although the likelihood of legislative or regulatory changes is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the Contract’s tax treatment could change. Consult a tax adviser with respect to legislative or regulatory developments and their effect on the Contract.

We have the right to modify the Contract in response to legislative or regulatory changes that could otherwise diminish the favorable tax treatment that annuity owners currently receive. We make no guarantee regarding the tax status of any Contract and do not intend the above discussion as tax advice.

12. Other Information

The Registered Separate Account

We established Allianz Life of NY Variable Account C (the Separate Account, formerly Preferred Life Variable Account C), as a separate account under New York State insurance law on February 26, 1988. The Separate Account is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The SEC does not supervise our management of the Separate Account.

The Separate Account holds the Variable ~~Options~~Option's shares that have been purchased with Contract assets. We keep the Separate Account assets separate from the assets of our general account and other separate accounts, including the non-unitized separate accounts we established in connection with the Index Options. The Separate Account is divided into subaccounts, each of which invests exclusively in athe ~~single~~Variable Option. The only currently available Variable Option is the AZL Government Money Market Fund.

69 We own the assets of the Separate Account. Income, gains, and losses credited to, or charged against, the Separate Account reflect the Separate Account’s own investment experience and not the investment experience of our other assets. The Separate Account’s assets are insulated, so that the assets cannot be used to pay any of our liabilities, other than those arising from the investment of Contract assets in the Variable Option.

If the Separate Account’s assets exceed the required reserves and other liabilities, we may transfer the excess to our general account, to the extent of seed money invested by us or earned fees and expenses. The obligations under the Contracts are obligations of Allianz Life of New York. We are obligated to pay all amounts promised to investors under the Contracts.

Our General Account

Our general account holds all our assets other than assets in our separate accounts. We own our general account assets, and, subject to applicable law, have sole investment discretion over them. The assets are subject to our general business operation liabilities and claims of our creditors and may lose value. We have not registered our general account as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Our general account assets fund guarantees provided in the Contracts. Contract Value that you apply to Annuity Payments becomes part of our general account.

Our Unregistered Separate Account

We allocate all assets backing the Index Options to an unregistered, non-unitized, non-insulated separate account (Separate Account IANY), which we established under New York Insurance Law solely for the purpose of supporting our obligations to pay Performance Credits associated with the Index Options. Separate Account IANY has two subaccounts: Subaccount IABV (which is a book value subaccount) and Subaccount IAMV (which is a market value subaccount).

Initially, a substantial majority of the aggregate assets backing the Index Options are allocated to Subaccount IABV. We hold all other assets that you allocate to the Index Options that are not invested in Subaccount IABV in Subaccount IAMV. Subsequently, there may be significant ~~transfer~~transfers of assets between Subaccount IABV and Subaccount IAMV in response to Index performance during the then-current Index Year. We typically transfer assets between the subaccounts if there is a 10% incremental change in year-to-date Index performance. ~~For~~This ~~the Index Performance Strategy this~~ starts atwhen athe ~~-10%~~ decrease in the market; ~~for~~exceeds the ~~Index Protection NY Strategy, this starts at a -30% decrease in the market~~applicable Buffer. We monitor year-to-date Index performance daily and change allocations daily if needed ~~based on this 10% increment~~.

We invest the assets in Subaccount IAMV in hedging instruments, including derivative investments such as put and call options, as well as cash and fixed income securities. Like our general account, the assets in Separate Account IANY are subject to our general business operation liabilities and the claims of our creditors.

An Owner who allocates Contract Value to an Index Option does not have any interest in or claim on the assets in Separate Account IANY. In addition, neither the Owner nor the Index Options participate in any way in the performance of assets held in Separate Account IANY.

Distribution

Allianz Life Financial Services, LLC (ALFS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America, serves as principal underwriter for the Contracts. ALFS is a limited liability company organized in Minnesota, and is located at 5701 Golden Hills Drive, Minneapolis, MN 55416. ALFS is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as with the securities commissions in the states in which it operates, and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). ALFS is not a member of Securities Investors Protection Corporation. More information about ALFS is available at finra.org or by calling 1-800-289-9999. You also can obtain an investor brochure from FINRA describing its Public Disclosure Program.

We have entered into a distribution agreement with ALFS for the distribution of the Contracts. ALFS also may perform various administrative services on our behalf.

We may fund ALFS operating and other expenses, including:

•

overhead,

•

legal fees,

•

accounting fees,

•

Financial Professional training,

•

compensation for the ALFS management team, and

•

other expenses associated with the Contracts.

7071

Financial Professionals and their managers may also be eligible for various benefits, such as production incentive bonuses, insurance benefits, and non-cash compensation items that we may provide jointly with ALFS. Non-cash items include conferences, seminars and trips (including travel, lodging and meals in connection therewith), entertainment, awards, merchandise and other similar items.

ALFS does not itself sell the Contracts on a retail basis. Rather, ALFS enters into selling agreements with other broker-dealers registered under the 1934 Act (selling firms) for the sale of the Contracts. We pay sales commissions to the selling firms and their Financial Professionals. The maximum commission payable to the selling firms for Contract sales is expected to not exceed 7% of Purchase Payments. Sometimes, we enter into an agreement with a selling firm to pay commissions as a combination of a certain amount of the commission at the time of sale and a trail commission which, when totaled, could exceed 7% of Purchase Payments.

As of December 31, ~~2022~~2023, no Contract offered by this prospectus had been sold. Therefore, we have not included any underwriting commissions paid to ALFS.

We and/or ALFS may make bonus payments to certain selling firms based on aggregate sales of our variable insurance contracts (including this Contract) or persistency standards, or as part of a special promotion. These additional payments are not offered to all selling firms, and the terms of any particular agreement governing the payments may vary among selling firms. In some instances, the amount paid may be significant.

A portion of the payments made to selling firms may be passed on to their Financial Professionals. Financial Professionals may receive cash and non-cash compensation and other benefits. Ask your Financial Professional for further information about what they and their firm may receive in connection with your purchase of a Contract.

Commissions paid on the Contract, including other incentives or payments, are not charged directly to the Owners or the Separate Account. We intend to recover commissions and other expenses indirectly through fees and expenses imposed under the Contract.

Broker-dealers and their Financial Professionals and managers involved in sales of the Contracts may receive payments from us for administrative and other services that do not directly involve the sale of the Contracts, including payments made for recordkeeping, the recruitment and training of personnel, production of promotional literature and similar services. In addition, certain firms and their Financial Professionals may receive compensation for distribution and administrative services when acting in a wholesaling capacity and working with retail firms.

In certain instances, we and/or ALFS may make payments to a broker-dealer for inclusion of this Contract in its list of products that it offers for sale.

We and/or ALFS may pay certain selling firms additional marketing support allowances for:

•

marketing services and increased access to their Financial Professionals;

•

sales promotions relating to the Contracts;

•

costs associated with sales conferences and educational seminars;

•

the cost of client meetings and presentations; and

•

other sales expenses incurred by them.

We retain substantial discretion in determining whether to grant a marketing support payment to a particular broker-dealer firm and the amount of any such payment.

We may also make payments for marketing and wholesaling support to broker-dealer affiliates of Variable Options that are available through the annuities we offer.

Additional information regarding marketing support payments can be found in the Distributor section of the Statement of Additional Information.

Some Financial Professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new contract in place of the one you already own. You should only exchange your contract if you determine, after comparing the features, fees and risks of both contracts, that it is better for you to purchase the new contract rather than continue to own your existing Contract.

The ~~Variable~~AZL ~~Options~~Government ~~may~~Money ~~assess~~Market Fund assesses a Rule 12b-1 fee of 0.25% ~~These~~of ~~fees~~the ~~are~~fund’s average daily net assets for the most recent calendar year. This fee is paid to ALFS as consideration for providing distribution and certain other services and incurring certain expenses permitted under the ~~Variable Option~~fund’s plan. ~~These fees typically equal 0.25% of a Variable Option’s average daily net assets for the most recent calendar year.~~

In certain instances, an investment adviser and/or subadviser (and/or their affiliates) of a Variable Option may make payments for administrative services to ALFS or its affiliates.

We offer the Contracts to the public on a continuous basis. We anticipate continuing to offer the Contracts but reserve the right to discontinue the offering.

Additional Credits for Certain Groups

We may credit additional amounts to a Contract instead of modifying charges because of special circumstances that result in lower sales or administrative expenses or better than expected mortality or persistency experience.

Administration/Allianz Service Center

The Allianz Service Center performs certain administrative services regarding the Contracts and is located at 5701 Golden Hills Drive, Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Service Center mailing address and telephone number are listed at the back of this prospectus.

Legal Proceedings

Like other life insurance companies, we from time to time are involved in legal proceedings of various kinds, including regulatory proceedings and individual and class action lawsuits. In some legal proceedings involving insurers, substantial damages have been sought and/or material settlement payments have been made. Although the outcome of any such proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that, at the present time, there are no pending or threatened legal proceedings to which we, the Separate Account, or ALFS is a party that are reasonably likely to materially affect the Separate Account, our ability to meet our obligations under the Contracts, or ALFS ability to perform its obligations.

Executive Compensation

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

In this section, we provide an overview of the goals and principal components of our executive compensation program and describe how we determine the compensation of our “Named Executive Officers” or “NEOs.” Allianz Life of New York is a subsidiary of Allianz Life. Each of our NEOs is employed by both Allianz Life of New York and Allianz Life. Our NEOs are compensated directly by Allianz Life. Allianz Life charges Allianz Life of New York an allocated percentage of each NEO’s compensation. The allocated percentage of compensation charged to Allianz Life of New York for our NEOs during the year ended December 31, ~~2022~~2023 is set forth below and hereafter referred to as the “Allocation Percentages.” For 2022, our NEOs were:

Name(1)	Title	Allocation Percentages
Jasmine M. Jirele	Chair and Chief Executive Officer	5.00%
William E. Gaumond	Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer	5.00%

(1)

Our two most highly paid executive officers other than our principal executive officer and principal financial officer are not included as NEOs for 2022 because their total compensation allocable to Allianz Life of New York did not exceed the $100,000 threshold established by SEC rules.

The details of each NEO’s compensation may be found in the Summary Compensation Table and other compensation tables included in this Executive Compensation section.

Executive Summary

Our NEOs are also officers of Allianz Life, our parent company, and are not paid additional compensation for serving as executive officers of Allianz Life of New York. Instead, our NEOs are paid directly by Allianz Life with a certain portion of their Allianz Life compensation allocated to Allianz Life of New York, which allocation is reviewed and approved by our Audit and Evaluation Committee with respect to those NEOs that are also the NY Principal Officers. The “NY Principal Officers” are the Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Legal Officer, and Secretary, Chief Administrative Officer and Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. Therefore, our parent company, Allianz Life, establishes our NEOs’ compensation programs with our Audit and Evaluation Committee reviewing and approving the compensation allocations to Allianz Life of New York with respect to our NY Principal Officers. Allianz Life’s compensation programs are intended to align our NEOs’ interests with those of our ultimate stockholder, Allianz SE, the ultimate parent company of Allianz Life and Allianz Life of New York. Allianz Life’s compensation programs are designed to reward performance that meets or exceeds the goals established by the Compensation Committee, a management committee of Allianz Life. Allianz Life is tasked with establishing the executive compensation philosophy. In line with Allianz Life’s compensation philosophy described below, the total compensation received by our NEOs will vary based on individual and corporate performance in light of annual and long-term performance goals. Our NEOs’ total compensation is composed of a mix of annual base salary, annual cash awards based on corporate objectives and executive performance factors and long-term equity incentive awards in the form of restricted stock units of the equity securities of Allianz SE.

Compensation Philosophy and Strategy

Overview

The overriding goal of Allianz Life’s executive compensation programs is to attract, retain and motivate top-performing executive officers who will dedicate themselves to long-term financial and operational success. To this end, Allianz Life has structured the executive compensation programs to foster a pay-for-performance management culture by:

•

providing total compensation opportunities that are competitive with the levels of total compensation available at the large diversified financial services companies with which Allianz Life most directly competes in the marketplace;

•

setting performance metrics and objectives for variable compensation arrangements that reward executives for attaining both annual targets and long-term business objectives, thereby providing individual executives with the opportunity to earn above-average compensation by achieving above-average results;

•

establishing equity-based arrangements that align executives’ financial interests with those of Allianz SE by ensuring executives have a material financial stake in the equity value of Allianz SE and the business success of its affiliates; and

•

structuring compensation packages and outcomes to foster internal pay equity.

Compensation Components

To support this pay-for-performance strategy, Allianz Life’s total compensation program provides a mix of compensation components that bases the majority of each executive’s compensation on their success and on an assessment of each executive’s overall contribution to that success.

Compensation Element	Description	Objective
Base Salary	Fixed rate of pay that compensates employees for fulfilling their basic job responsibilities. For NEOs, increases are generally provided in the case of a significant increase in responsibilities or a significant discrepancy versus the market.	Attract and retain high-caliber leadership.
Annual Incentive Plan	Incentive compensation that promotes and rewards the achievement of annual performance objectives through awards under the Allianz Life Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”).	• Link compensation to annual performance results. • Attract and motivate high-caliber leadership. • Align the interests of NEOs and our stockholder.
Performance-Based Equity Incentives	Incentive compensation through restricted stock unit awards made under the Allianz Equity Incentive Plan (“AEI”) that promotes and rewards the achievement of long term performance objectives.	• Retain high-caliber leadership with multi-year vesting. • Align the interests of NEOs and our stockholder.
Severance Arrangements	Severance payments to employees, including NEOs, under certain company-initiated termination events.	Compensate employees for situations where the employee’s employment is involuntarily terminated in a qualifying termination of employment.
Perquisites-Benefits	Perquisites provided to our NEOs include employer matching contributions to the NEOs’ accounts in the 401(k) plan and may also include the payment of life insurance premiums, relocation reimbursements, and reimbursements for financial planning, tax preparation services, and spousal travel expenses.	Provide market competitive total compensation package.

In addition, Allianz Life offers all employees, including our NEOs, broad-based benefits, including comprehensive medical, dental and vision insurance, group term life insurance and participation in a 401(k) plan.

How Compensation Decisions Are Made

Role of the Board of Directors and Compensation Committee

The framework governing the executive compensation policies for Allianz Life, which directly compensates the executives of Allianz Life of New York, except as such policies relate to the compensation for the Chief Executive Officer, is set through the Compensation Committee of Allianz Life. Decisions affecting the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer

Allianz Index Advantage® +SM New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – ~~May 1~~[MMDD], ~~2023~~2024

7879

are outside the scope of the Allianz Life Compensation Committee. Any such decisions are made by Allianz SE, subject to review by the Nomination, Evaluation and Compensation Committee of the Allianz Life Board of Directors (the “NEC Committee”), and final approval by Allianz Life’s Board of Directors. With respect to the compensation of other “principal officers” selected by the Board for purposes of the duties of the NEC Committee under Minn. Stat. § 60D.20, subd. 3(d), the Compensation Committee’s decisions are similarly subject to review by the NEC Committee and final approval by Allianz Life’s Board. The “principal officers” include the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and General Counsel. Allianz Life’s Board has delegated the following responsibilities to the Compensation Committee:

•

In general, establish the compensation philosophy and strategy of Allianz Life and oversee the development and implementation of compensation, benefit, and perquisite programs for corporate executives consistent with the principles of ensuring that leadership is compensated effectively in a manner consistent with the stated compensation strategy, internal equity considerations, competitive practices, shareholder interests, and the requirements of any applicable regulatory bodies in order to attract and retain high-quality leadership. This responsibility includes periodic review of Allianz Life’s compensation programs to pursue certain goals, with the expectation that changes will be made periodically to ensure these goals are attained.

•

Review and approve the establishment of, or material modification to, any executive incentive compensation plans or programs for Allianz Life.

•

Review and approve any special benefits or perquisites in effect for, or offered to, any prospective, current or former Allianz Life employee, regardless of the employee’s level or assignment within Allianz Life. Such benefits and perquisites are those that are unusual or different from the benefits offered to all similarly-situated employees.

•

Review and approve any employment agreements proposed to be made with any prospective or current employee of Allianz Life.

•

Review and approve any individual severance agreement with any Allianz Life officer. This does not include an arrangement where the employee receives severance or incentive payments under existing terms of a broad-based benefit or compensation plan.

•

Oversee Allianz Life’s compliance with regulations with respect to compensation matters and adopt and monitor adherence to global and local process requirements and timelines, including those required under the Corporate Rules (as defined under the Allianz Life Standard for Corporate Rules) mandated by Allianz SE.

The Compensation Committee will at all times be composed of at least three members who are appointed by the full Board of Directors of Allianz Life. The Compensation Committee currently consists of the following members: the Chair of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, and the Chief Human Resources Officer. The Compensation Committee also utilizes internal personnel to provide advice to the Compensation Committee regarding market trends in compensation policies at competing companies and on a more macro level.

Following its review and decision, the Compensation Committee produces and submits a report on executive compensation to Allianz Life’s Board of Directors at its request. With respect to the compensation of “principal officers” selected by Allianz Life’s Board for purposes of the duties of the NEC Committee under Minnesota Statutes § 60D.20, subd. 3(d), the Compensation Committee produces and submits a report on executive compensation proposed for the designated “principal officers” to the NEC Committee for its review and recommendation to Allianz Life’s Board for final approval.

Role of the Chief Executive Officer

Our Chief Executive Officer assists the Compensation Committee in its review of the total compensation of all the NEOs except themself. The Chief Executive Officer provides the Compensation Committee with their assessment of the NEOs’ respective performance relative to the corporate and individual goals and other expectations set for them for the preceding year. The Chief Executive Officer then provides their recommendation for each NEO’s total compensation and the appropriate goals for each NEO in the year to come. However, the Compensation Committee is not bound by the Chief Executive Officer’s recommendations.

Role of Allianz Life’s Human Resources

Allianz Life’s Human Resources supports the Compensation Committee on executive compensation matters by being responsible for many of the organizational and administrative tasks that underlie the compensation review and determination process and making presentations on various topics. Allianz Life’s Human Resources efforts include, among other things:

•

evaluating the compensation data from industry groups, national executive pay surveys, and other sources for the NEOs and other executive officers as appropriate;

Allianz Index Advantage® +SM New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – ~~May 1~~[MMDD], ~~2023~~2024

7980

•

gathering and correlating performance ratings and reviews for individual executive officers, including the NEOs;

•

reviewing executive compensation recommendations against appropriate market data and for internal consistency and equity; and

•

reporting to, and answering requests for information from, the Compensation Committee.

Allianz Life’s Human Resources officers also coordinate and share information with their counterparts at Allianz SE.

Use of Competitive Compensation Data

Because Allianz Life competes most directly for executive talent with other large diversified financial services companies, Allianz Life regards it as essential to regularly review the competitiveness of the total compensation programs for executives to ensure that Allianz Life provides compensation opportunities that compare favorably with the levels of total compensation offered to similarly situated executives by other companies that participate in the compensation surveys in which Allianz Life participates. Allianz Life relies primarily on external market surveys of corporate compensation and benefits published by various national compensation consulting firms, especially salary surveys focusing on insurance companies. In addition, other factors taken into account include the average revenues and number of employees of companies that participate in such surveys.

All these information sources are employed to measure and compare actual pay levels not only on an aggregate, total compensation basis, but also to break down the total compensation program component by component to review and compare specific compensation elements as well as the particular mixes of fixed versus variable, short-term versus long-term, and cash versus equity-based compensation at the surveyed companies. This information, as collected and reviewed by Allianz Life’s Human Resources, is submitted to the Compensation Committee for review and discussion.

Internal Pay Equity Analysis

Allianz Life’s compensation programs are designed with the goal of providing compensation to our NEOs that is fair, reasonable, and competitive. To achieve this goal, Allianz Life believes it is important to compare compensation paid to each NEO not only with compensation paid by the surveyed companies, as discussed above, but also with compensation paid to each of our other NEOs. Such an internal comparison is important to ensure that compensation is equitable among our NEOs.

Components of Total Compensation For Our NEOs

Allianz Life provides total compensation to our NEOs that consists of several components. These components include the three components of the total compensation program (i.e., base salary, annual incentives, and equity) as well as: (i) retirement, health, and other benefit programs; (ii) severance benefits; and (iii) perquisites.

Base Salary

Allianz Life’s philosophy is to make base salary a relatively small portion of the overall compensation package for our NEOs, which Allianz Life believes is common in the industry in which we operate. The amount of the base salary awarded to NEOs is based on the position held, the NEO’s tenure, the scope of the position’s responsibilities, and the NEO’s own performance, all of which are reviewed with the aid of market survey data. Using this data, Allianz Life maintains a 50th percentile pricing philosophy, comparing base salaries against the median for comparable salaries at surveyed companies, unless exceptional conditions require otherwise.

With respect to the base salary of our Chief Executive Officer, the Chair of the Board considered the Chief Executive Officer’s experience, performance, and contribution to overall corporate performance when determining their base salary for 2022 for recommendation to the NEC Committee. Base salaries for our other NEOs for 2022 were also set by the Compensation Committee based upon each NEO’s individual experience and contribution to the overall performance of Allianz Life, and subject to Allianz SE Compensation Committee reviews and, with respect to the base salaries of “principal officers” selected by Allianz Life’s Board of Directors for purposes of the duties of the NEC Committee under Minnesota Statutes § 60D.20, subd. 3(d), subject to NEC Committee review and recommendation to Allianz Life’s Board for final approval.

AIP

Allianz Life offers annual cash bonuses to certain executive officers under the AIP. The AIP is designed to improve performance and profitability by motivating employees to accomplish organizational objectives and financial goals. Bonus awards that may be paid pursuant to the AIP are within the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee, and with respect to our CEO, the Chair of the Board, and are intended to:

•

reward the performance of participants who have made significant contributions to the achievement of annual goals and objectives;

•

provide an incentive that will encourage future superior individual performance; and

•

encourage the retention of employees who have demonstrated exceptional performance and/or are anticipated to significantly contribute to the long-term success of Allianz Life.

Following the performance year, the Compensation Committee approved a specific amount of cash awards to be made pursuant to the AIP to executive officers, including our NEOs, for the 2022 performance year. The amount determined to be available for such awards was at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and was dependent upon many factors as outlined previously, including, but not limited to, current financial performance and contributions of our NEOs in achieving performance objectives, and with respect to the awards to the “principal officers” selected by Allianz Life’s Board for purposes of the duties of the NEC Committee under Minnesota Statutes § 60D.20, subd. 3(d), subject to NEC Committee review and recommendation to Allianz Life’s Board for final approval.

AEI

The AEI is (a) one part of the variable compensation component for certain individuals within designated classes of employees at Allianz Life or (b) offered by Allianz Life to select senior employees as an additional part of their variable compensation on a case by case basis. The AEI is granted in the form of restricted stock units of Allianz SE (“RSUs”). The award of RSU’s are intended to:

•

reward the performance of participants who have made significant contributions to the achievement of their company’s annual goals and objectives,

•

provide an incentive that will encourage future superior individual performance, and

•

encourage the retention of employees who have demonstrated exceptional performance and/or are anticipated to significantly contribute to the long-term success of Allianz.

Awards made pursuant to the AEI are based upon both the performance of Allianz Life and Allianz Life of New York and the performance of the NEO. The Compensation Committee (and, with respect to those NEOs that are “principal officers” for purposes of the NEC Committee’s duties, the NEC Committee with final approval of Allianz Life’s Board of Directors) reviewed the performance of our NEOs following the end of our 2022 fiscal year relative to the AEI allocation amount.

Benefit Perquisites

Allianz Life provides our NEOs with certain limited perquisites. All of our employees, including our NEOs, may participate in the qualified 401(k) plan. Allianz Life and Allianz Life of New York generally provide our executive officers, including our NEOs, with a matching contribution up to $22,875 annually. In addition, Allianz Life and Allianz Life of New York provide excess liability insurance coverage to all of our NEOs and provide financial planning and tax preparation services, relocation reimbursements, and reimbursements of spousal travel expenses to certain of our NEOs. The incremental costs of perquisites for the NEOs during 2022 are included in the column entitled “All Other Compensation” in the Summary Compensation Table included in this section.

Certain Retention Arrangements

Allianz Life’s offer letter to Jasmine M. Jirele included a retention bonus arrangement related to her onboarding in her capacity as Senior Vice President, Chief Growth Officer. The retention bonus payments will be paid through 2022 so long as she remains employed with Allianz Life, and the arrangement requires repayment of certain amounts if Ms. Jirele voluntarily terminates her employment within a certain period. In addition, Allianz Life maintains retention bonus arrangements with certain executives, pursuant to which retention bonus payments are paid so long as such executive remains employed with Allianz Life in good standing.

Severance Arrangements

Allianz Life NEOs are eligible for severance payments under the Executive Severance Plan if they experience a qualifying termination of employment and otherwise satisfy the conditions set forth in the plan.

Allianz Index Advantage® +SM New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – ~~May 1~~[MMDD], ~~2023~~2024

8182

Other than the Executive Severance Plan, which is described later in this section, our NEOs are not eligible for severance payments. Certain of our executive officers receive offer letters which set forth the terms relating to base salary, sign-on incentives, and equity compensation. However, Allianz Life does not view these offer letters as employment agreements as each offer letter states that employment with Allianz Life is “at will.”

Other Compensation Policies

Tax and Accounting Implications

Stock-Based Compensation. Stock-based compensation, comprised of Allianz SE restricted stock units (RSUs) granted pursuant to the AEI, are accounted for in accordance with the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) Topic 718. The fair value of the RSUs at grant is the arithmetic average of the closing prices of an Allianz SE share in the electronic cash market trading system Xetra (or any successor system) on that day and the nine immediately preceding trading days, less the present value of dividends expected to be paid on one Allianz SE share over the vesting period, and less the fair value of payout restrictions deriving from the vesting period and the payout cap.

Recently Discontinued Compensation Programs

The purpose of the ALTPUP was to advance the interests of Allianz Life, including Allianz Life of New York, and our indirect stockholder. The ALTPUP sought to accomplish this purpose by providing an incentive in addition to current compensation to certain individuals within designated classes of employees of Allianz Life who contribute significantly to their company’s long-term performance. Such incentive was in the form of Long-Term Performance Units ("ALTPUP Units"), which were contingent awards, subject to the terms, conditions, and restrictions described in the ALTPUP and the Award Agreement under which such awards were made, by which participants in the ALTPUP may have become entitled to receive cash on the payment date for redemption of the ALTPUP Units valued on the valuation date. The award of ALTPUP Units was discretionary. In March 2020, the Group Compensation Committee determined all Allianz entities would move forward with the Allianz SE long term incentive program or AEI. As a result, the ALTPUP program has been discontinued and provided a final grant in March 2020 for 2019 performance. The final payout under the ALTPUP program will occur in 2023.

Performance-Based Incentive Compensation Plans

AIP

The AIP is intended to provide an incentive that will encourage superior individual performance and encourage retention of employees who have demonstrated exceptional performance or who are anticipated to significantly contribute to long-term success. The AIP seeks to accomplish this purpose by providing a bonus opportunity to eligible employees who have made significant contributions during the plan year to the achievement of annual goals and objectives. The guidelines for target awards are meant to be illustrative of competitive market bonuses for similar job levels in the marketplace. While the target awards may be used for illustrative, budget planning, or distribution scenarios, all bonus awards are discretionary and are in no way guaranteed.

The Compensation Committee or other duly authorized committee determines allocation of bonus awards to employees. With respect to “principal officers” for purposes of the NEC Committee’s duties, the NEC Committee recommends to Allianz Life’s Board of Directors awards for final approval.

AEI

The AEI is designed to recognize the participant’s continuous employment with Allianz Life over the relevant period and shall be an incentive to continue employment. Grants under the AEI will generally only be made if the participant is employed with Allianz Life at the date of grant. Payments will be made only if the participant remains employed with Allianz Life during the vesting period of the RSU, or leaves employment under circumstances set out in the AEI, including after retirement or early retirement eligibility, disability, or under certain other circumstances. The securities issuable under the AEI are RSUs. An RSU constitutes the right to receipt of the market value of Allianz SE common stock at the time of exercise. This amount will be paid in cash. RSUs are subject to a four-year vesting period. At the end of the four-year vesting period, the RSUs are exercised uniformly for all participants, provided they remain employed by Allianz Life, terminate after retirement or early retirement eligibility, or under certain other circumstances. Vesting and exercise may accelerate if a participant leaves employment under other “good leaver” circumstances set forth in the AEI. The grant at fair value cannot be greater than 165% of a participant’s target amount. The maximum value of an exercise is an increase of 200% over the grant value (i.e., 300% of the grant value).

Executive Severance Plan

Executive officers who have the title of Senior Vice President or above and report directly to a senior executive officer at a specific level are eligible to receive severance benefits under the Executive Severance Plan if they experience a qualifying termination of employment, meaning an involuntary termination for any reason other than for “cause” with no offer of an equivalent position, and otherwise satisfy the conditions set forth in the plan. The purpose of the Executive Severance Plan is to provide severance benefits to executive officers whose employment is involuntarily terminated in a qualifying termination of employment in order to assist with job transition. Pursuant to the Executive Severance Plan, eligible executive officers who are involuntarily terminated in a qualifying termination of employment will receive a lump sum cash payment equal to one and one-half times their “annual base pay” in effect at the time of termination. Annual base pay, for purposes of this agreement, equals base salary and excludes special payments, such as bonuses, expense reimbursements, living, or other allowances. Eligible executive officers would also be entitled to continuation of medical and dental coverage at employee premium rates for a period of 18 months following termination, if the executive officer timely elects continuation coverage and pays the required premiums.

The following table shows the portion of the lump sum payments that would have been allocated to Allianz Life of New York based on each NEO’s Allocation Percentage and payable to each of our NEOs had they been terminated on December 31, ~~2022~~2023 and been eligible for severance payments pursuant to the Executive Severance Plan.

The compensation Ms. Jirele and Mr. Gaumond received as executive officers of Allianz Life of New York is disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table as set forth herein.

CEO Pay Ratio

At December 31, 2023, Allianz Life of New York did not have any direct employees; accordingly, the following information is presented with respect to Allianz Life of New York’s parent company, Allianz Life. References to "we", "us", "our" and "the Company" in this CEO pay ratio disclosure refer to Allianz Life.

In accordance with SEC rules, we determined the annual total compensation of our median compensated employee and present a comparison of that annual total compensation to the annual total compensation of our President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Jasmine M. Jirele (who is also the Chief Executive Officer of Allianz Life of New York).

•

The 2022 annual total compensation of our CEO was $3,221,935.

•

The 2022 annual total compensation of our median compensated employee was $114,713.

Accordingly, we estimate the ratio of our CEO's annual total compensation to the annual total compensation of our median compensated employee for 2022 was 28 to 1.

Determining the Median Compensated Employee

In 2022, we determined the median compensated employee by collecting compensation data for all employees, including full-time, part-time, seasonal, and temporary employees, excluding our CEO, employed by the Company as of December 31, 2023. We selected December 31, 2022 as the date upon which we would identify the median employee because it enabled us to make such identification in a reasonably efficient manner and it aligns with the methodology used in the other compensation-based disclosures above. As of December 31, 2022, our employee population consisted of 2,214 individuals. We do not have any employees who work outside of the U.S.

Allianz Index Advantage+SM New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – [MMDD], 2024

We identified our median compensated employee, using total compensation as our compensation measure, which included annual base salary, cash-based incentive compensation, long-term incentive compensation, and sales-based incentive compensation earned for 2022, plus employer contributions to the Allianz Asset Accumulation Plan, life insurance premiums, and other compensation. Compensation for full-time employees hired after January 1, 2022, was annualized for the full year 2022. We did not make any cost of labor adjustments as the majority of our employees are compensated based upon the cost of labor in Minneapolis, MN, the location of our corporate headquarters. We did not include amounts representing employer medical and dental contributions. This methodology was consistently applied to all our employees included in the calculation and is consistent with the methodology we use for our NEOs as set forth in the 2022 Summary Compensation Table.

Our pay ratio and compensation amount have been calculated using methodologies and assumptions consistent with SEC rules. The ratio and compensation amount may not be directly comparable to those of other companies because the methodologies and assumptions used to identify the median employee and determine that employee's total compensation may vary significantly among companies.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

We are an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Allianz SE. Allianz SE’s principal executive offices are located at Königinstrasse 28, 80802 Munich, Germany. As of June 30, 2022, the directors and executive officers of Allianz Life of New York held less than 1% of Allianz SE’s ordinary shares issued and outstanding.

Transactions with Related Persons, Promoters and Certain Control Persons

We are a wholly owned subsidiary of Allianz Life, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of AZOA, which in turn is a wholly owned subsidiary of Allianz Europe B.V. Allianz Europe B.V. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Allianz SE, our ultimate parent, which is registered in Munich, Germany.

Transactions with affiliates may not be on an arm’s-length basis and may present the potential for conflicts.

Business and Operational Risks Relevant to the Contract

As an insurance company, a number of risks may affect our business. However, because the Contract (and any other insurance contract that we offer) is a regulated insurance product, as opposed to an investment in our business, many of the risks that may be relevant to an investor in our business are unlikely to be relevant to you. The risks described below are only those business and operational risks that are likely to be relevant to you as a purchaser of the Contract.

Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – May 1, 2023

Risks Primarily Related to Our Financial Strength and Claims-Paying Ability

We make Annuity Payments, pay death benefits, and apply Performance Credits for this Contract from our general account. We also pay benefits for other insurance contracts from our general account, and our general account is subject to claims by our creditors. Our ability to make payments from our general account is subject to our financial strength and claims-paying ability. The following risks relate to circumstances and events that may negatively affect our general account and, in turn, our financial strength and claims-paying ability.

Financial losses may threaten our financial strength and claims-paying ability.

As an Owner of the Contract, you do not share in the profits and losses generated by our business. However, if we were to experience significant losses, we might not have sufficient assets in our general account to satisfy all of our financial obligations under the Contract. Circumstances and events that may result in financial losses include, but are not necessarily limited to, the circumstances and events listed below. We cannot predict what specific impact that any of these circumstances or events may ultimately have on our financial strength or claims-paying ability.

•

Difficult Economic Conditions. Our financial condition is materially affected by conditions in the global capital markets and the economy generally. During an economic downturn, the demand for our financial insurance products and services could be adversely affected. In addition, an economic downturn could cause the number and amount of full and partial withdrawals under our insurance products to increase significantly, and owners of our insurance products may choose to defer making purchase payments or paying insurance premiums or stop them altogether.

Allianz Index Advantage+SM New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – [MMDD], 2024

•

Unfavorable Interest Rate Environments. During periods of declining interest rates, we may experience financial losses as the spread between interest rates that we credit to customers under our insurance products and returns on our investments tighten. A sustained low interest rate environment presents challenges for us and other life insurance companies, as it generally reduces investment returns, raises the value of future obligations, and challenges asset-liability matching. During periods of increasing interest rates, we may experience financial losses due to increases in full and partial withdrawals under our insurance products as our customers choose to forgo insurance protection in favor of potentially higher returns. In an attempt to curb rising inflation, the Federal Reserve and other central banks raised interest rates multiple times in 2022. It is unclear whether and how interest rates will change in future periods. Although we take measures to manage economic risks associated with different interest rate environments, we may not be able to fully mitigate those risks.

•

Losses on Fixed Maturity Investments. Our fixed maturity investments are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. Interest rate risk refers to how the values of our fixed maturity investments fluctuate in response to changes in market interest rates. Increases and decreases in prevailing interest rates generally result in decreases and increases, respectively, in the values of our fixed maturity investments. Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its commitments to us under a fixed maturity investment. See “Defaults by Counterparties” below.

•

Losses on Equity Investments. Our equity investments are generally valued based on quoted market prices and are subject to market risk. Market risk refers to how market prices for equity investments are subject to fluctuation. A downward fluctuation in the market price for an equity investment could result in losses upon the sale of that investment. Fluctuations in market prices may result from, among other things, actual or perceived changes in the attractiveness of specific investments or in general market conditions.

•

Losses on Real Estate Investments. A portion of our investment portfolio consists of mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities related to commercial, agricultural and residential real estate. The value of our real estate investments may be negatively impacted by general economic conditions in the real estate sector, including supply and demand, market volatility, interest rate fluctuations, and geographic and extreme weather risks, as well as the creditworthiness of obligors.

•

Losses upon the Sale of Illiquid Investments. We hold certain investments that may lack liquidity, such as privately placed fixed maturity investments, mortgage loans, collateralized debt obligations, commercial mortgage-backed securities, equity real estate and limited partnership interests. Although we seek to minimize the likelihood that we would need to sell illiquid investments, if we were required to liquidate these investments on short notice, we may have difficulty doing so and may be forced to sell them for less than their fair value.

•

Prolonged and Elevated Inflationary Periods. During inflationary periods, the value of our fixed maturity investments may fall, see “Losses on Fixed Maturity Investments” above. Inflation also increases expenses, which will negatively impact our financial condition in the event that such additional costs cannot be offset. Prolonged and elevated inflation could adversely affect the financial markets and the economy generally, and dispelling it may require governments to pursue a restrictive fiscal and monetary policy, which could constrain overall economic activity and our growth. During 2022, the economy experienced elevated inflation and inflationary pressures, which may continue for future periods.

•

Loss of Market Share to Competitors. There is strong competition among insurers, banks, brokerage firms and other financial institutions and providers seeking clients for the types of products and services that we provide. A loss of market share to our competitors could result in financial losses to our business. Our ability to successfully compete is dependent on numerous factors, some of which include the successful implementation of our business strategy, our financial strength, the attractiveness of our products and services, our relationships with distributors, and our reputation. Our ability to compete may also be hindered if our competitors obtain or seek to enforce intellectual property rights against us, or if we are otherwise precluded from offering products or services that are in demand. Our ability to compete may also be hindered if we are not able to protect or enforce our own intellectual property rights. Recently, the New York Department of Financial Services (“NYDFS”), the regulatory authority for the insurance industry in New York, adopted amendments to its Regulation 47 that set forth new requirements for registered index-linked annuities offered and sold in New York. These amendments are expected to significantly increase our competition in New York for sales of registered index-linked annuities. In addition, the amendments prescribe certain terms and conditions for registered index-linked annuities offered and sold in New York. Changes to our annuity sales platform to comply with the amendments could substantially increase our costs.

•

Defaults by Counterparties. Third-parties that owe us, or hold on our behalf (i.e., custodians), money, securities, or other assets may not fulfill their obligations to us. These parties may include issuers of investments that we may hold, borrowers under loans that we may hold or extend, reinsurers, counterparties under swap and other derivative contracts and other third-parties (e.g., customers, trading counterparties, brokers, dealers, banks, investment funds, clearing agents, exchanges and clearing houses). In addition, with respect to secured transactions, the risk of default may be exacerbated when the collateral held by us, or for us, cannot be fully recovered cannot be liquidated or is liquidated at a price that is not sufficient to cover the full amount owed to us. A party may default on its obligations for a variety of reasons, including bankruptcy, lack of liquidity, downturns in the economy or real estate market and operational failure. General economic conditions and trends may also result in increased defaults.

•

Impairments of Other Financial Institutions. We routinely execute transactions with counterparties in the financial services industry, including brokers, dealers, commercial banks, investment banks, insurers, reinsurers and other investment and financial institutions. A disruption to, or decline in the financial condition of, such financial institutions may expose us to financial losses.

•

Payments through Guaranty Associations. When an insurance company becomes insolvent, state insurance guaranty associations have the right to assess other insurance companies doing business in their state for funds to pay obligations to policyholders of the insolvent company, up to the state-specified limit of coverage. The future failure of a large life, health or annuity insurer could trigger assessments which we would be obligated to pay. Further, amounts for historical insolvencies may be assessed over many years, and there can be significant uncertainty around the total obligation for a given insolvency.

•

Ineffectiveness of Risk Management Policies. Our risk management policies and procedures intended to identify, monitor and manage economic risks may not be fully effective at mitigating our risk exposure in all market environments or against all types of risk. This could cause us to incur investment losses or cause our hedging and other risk management strategies to be ineffective.

Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – May 1, 2023

•

Impacts of Climate Change. We are exposed to economic risks related to climate change. Our financial condition could be negatively impacted by increased costs, or financial losses on investments, arising from various events related to climate change, such as changes in public policy (either contributing to the adverse effects of climate change or promoting adaption to climate change), changes in global investment asset values, systemic risk to financial systems, short-term or long-term market distributions, changes in mortality/morbidity assumptions, changes in consumer behavior, business disruptions, extreme weather events, litigation, increased regulatory requirements, advancements in technology, and longer-term shifts in climate patterns. Climate change could also impact the types of assets in which we invest. For example, as the transition to a lower-carbon, more energy-efficient economy continues, regulators could require us (or we could voluntarily choose) to invest less in carbon-based industries, even though investments in carbon-based industries may have better returns in the short or long term. In addition, real estate investments may expose us to greater climate change risk, as climate change may negatively impact market prices or supply and demand, and may make extreme weather events more likely or frequent. Further, we may not be able to adequately predict and mitigate climate-change risk due to significant uncertainty and unknowns regarding the manifestations and timing of climate-change-driven events, absence of adequate historical data that captures this risk and the dependency of this risk on the extent of the actions taken in the short term by governments, corporations and communities around the world. On November 15, 2021, the NYDFS announced its expectations for insurance companies in managing the financial risks related to climate change. In addition, the SEC has proposed new disclosure rules that, if adopted, would generally require a wide range of registered companies, including us, to prepare extensive disclosures and financial information on climate-related risk, although final SEC rules have not yet been adopted. Compliance with new regulations and regulatory developments may increase our risk and financial reporting costs.

•

COVID-19 Pandemic. The economic conditions and uncertainties during the COVID-19 pandemic have at times negatively impacted our net income, surplus, and capital and liquidity positions. The extent to which a pandemic (including the COVID-19 pandemic or a future public health crisis) will impact our business and operations in the future cannot be predicted. Any risk management or contingency plans or preventative measures we take may not adequately predict or address the impact of a pandemic on our business. As such, a pandemic could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operations and may also have the effect of heightening the other risks described in this section of the prospectus.

Allianz Index Advantage+SM New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – [MMDD], 2024

•

Banking Sector Stress. Recently, in March 2023, multiple banks (such as Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank) were placed into receivership or acquired by another bank pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s regulatory authority. Additional banks appeared to be at risk of failing. These events have elevated concerns among market participants about the liquidity, default, and non-performance risk associated with banks, other financial institutions, and the financial services industry generally, and have added to already adverse market and economic conditions. We continue to closely monitor these events. If more banks or financial institutions enter receivership or become insolvent in the future, there could be a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

Changes in applicable law may negatively affect our financial strength and claims-paying ability.

We are subject to detailed and comprehensive regulation and supervision in New York by the NYDFS. The NYDFS has broad administrative powers with respect to all aspects of the insurance business and, in particular, monitors the manner in which an insurance company offers, sells and administers its products. Therefore, we may from time to time be subject to a variety of legal and regulatory actions relating to our current and past business operations and practices. Our operations, products and services are subject to varying other state and federal laws. In addition, our operations, products and services are regulated by various regulatory authorities and self-regulatory authorities including state insurance departments, state securities administrators, state banking authorities, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Labor, and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

Changes to federal and state laws and regulations may materially affect the way in which we conduct our business. We are faced with significant challenges due to the fact that our regulatory environment is evolving rapidly. Federal and state governments, including federal and state regulatory authorities, have become increasingly active in the regulation of the businesses in which we engage. In addition, federal and state regulatory authorities are assuming active, and in some cases increasingly aggressive, roles in interpreting and enforcing laws and regulations related to our business. We cannot predict the potential effects that any new laws or regulations, changes in existing laws or regulations, or the interpretation or enforcement of laws or regulations may have on our business, but such changes may negatively affect our financial strength and claims-paying ability.

Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – May 1, 2023

The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules effective on June 30, 2020 (i) imposing a “best interest” standard of care on broker-dealers making recommendations to their customers and (ii) requiring broker-dealers and investment advisers to provide a written summary of the relationship between a broker-dealer or investment adviser, as applicable, and its customer. It remains unclear the extent to which these rules, and the evolving nature of the enforcement and interpretation of these rules by the Securities and Exchange Commission, could ultimately affect broker-dealers’ willingness to recommend our registered annuity products. These rules could increase, and to some extent have increased, our overall compliance costs and could also increase our exposure to legal claims in certain circumstances, including an increased risk of regulatory enforcement actions or potentially private claims.

The NYDFS, has adopted revisions to its Insurance Regulation 187, a regulation that imposes suitability requirements on annuity and life insurance recommendations by producers and insurers subject to New York law. Under the amendments to Regulation 187, recommendations of and related to annuity contracts will be subject to a best interest standard and other additional obligations. These revisions became effective for annuity recommendations on August 1, 2019 and for life insurance recommendations on February 1, 2020. These changes could have an adverse impact on the level and type of services provided and compliance with Regulation 187 could also increase our overall operational costs for providing some of the services currently provided. These changes may lead to greater exposure to legal claims in certain circumstances, including an increased risk of NYDFS-related actions.

Our reserves could be inadequate due to differences between our actual experience and management’s estimates and assumptions.

We establish and carry reserves to pay future benefits and claims of contract owners. Our reserves are calculated based on a number of estimates and assumptions, including estimates and assumptions related to future mortality, morbidity, interest rates, future equity performance, reinvestment rates, persistency, claims experience, and contract owner elections (i.e., the exercise or non-exercise of contract benefits). The assumptions and estimates used in connection with the reserve estimation process are inherently uncertain, involve the exercise of significant judgment and reflect evolving information. For example, the current rates of mortality and morbidity may continue to improve in the future due to medical and technological advancements that result in contract owners living longer than anticipated. We periodically review the adequacy of reserves and the underlying assumptions and make adjustments when appropriate. We cannot, however, determine with precision the amounts that we will pay for, or the timing of payment of, actual benefits and claims or whether the assets supporting the contract liabilities will grow to the level assumed prior to payment of benefits or claims. If actual results differ significantly from our estimates and assumptions, our claim costs could increase significantly and our reserves could be inadequate. If so, we will be required to increase reserves. However, we cannot be certain that our reserves will ultimately be sufficient to pay future benefits and claims of contract owners.

Allianz Index Advantage+SM New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – [MMDD], 2024

whether the assets supporting the contract liabilities will grow to the level assumed prior to payment of benefits or claims. If actual results differ significantly from our estimates and assumptions, our claim costs could increase significantly and our reserves could be inadequate. If so, we will be required to increase reserves. However, we cannot be certain that our reserves will ultimately be sufficient to pay future benefits and claims of contract owners.

The amount of statutory capital that we must hold to meet our statutory capital requirements can vary significantly from time to time.

Statutory accounting standards and capital and reserve requirements are prescribed by NYDFS and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. The NYDFS established regulations that govern reserving requirements and provide minimum capitalization requirements based on risk-based capital (“RBC”) ratios for life insurance companies. In any particular year, statutory surplus amounts and RBC ratios may increase or decrease depending on a variety of factors, including but not limited to, the amount of statutory income or losses that we generate, changes in reserves, the amount of additional capital that we must hold to support business growth, changes in equity market levels, the value of certain fixed-income and equity securities in our investment portfolio, changes in interest rates, and changes to existing RBC formulas. Additionally, state insurance regulators have significant leeway in interpreting existing regulations, which could further impact the amount of statutory capital or reserves that we must maintain. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current RBC ratio in the future or that our RBC ratio will not fall to a level that could have a material adverse effect on our business. If we are unable to maintain minimum capitalization requirements, our business may be subject to significant increases in supervision and control by the NYDFS.

Litigation and regulatory proceedings may negatively affect our financial strength and claims-paying ability.

We have been named as defendants in lawsuits (both class actions and individual lawsuits) and have been involved in various regulatory investigations and examinations, and we may be involved in more in the future. These actions arise in various contexts, including in connection with our activities as an insurer, securities issuer, employer, investor, and taxpayer. Lawsuits and regulatory proceedings may involve significant amounts of damages (including punitive damages) or fines that we must pay, and certain regulatory authorities involved in regulatory proceedings have substantial power over our business operations. An adverse outcome in any lawsuit or regulatory proceeding that results in significant financial losses or operational burdens may negatively affect our financial strength and claims-paying ability.

Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – May 1, 2023

over our business operations. An adverse outcome in any lawsuit or regulatory proceeding that results in significant financial losses or operational burdens may negatively affect our financial strength and claims-paying ability.

Reinsurance may not be available or affordable, or may not be adequate to protect against harm to our financial strength and claims-paying ability.

As part of our overall risk management strategy, we purchase reinsurance for certain risks underwritten by our various business segments. While reinsurance agreements generally bind the reinsurer for the life of the business reinsured at generally fixed pricing, market conditions beyond our control can determine the availability and cost of the reinsurance protection for new business. If we are unable to purchase the desired amount of reinsurance protection on acceptable terms, our risk of loss may increase. As our risk of loss increases, so does the risk that we may not be able to meet our financial obligations.

Our hedging programs may be inadequate to protect against harm to our financial strength and claims-paying ability.

Certain types of insurance and investment products that we offer expose us to risks associated with fluctuations in financial markets. Although we use hedging techniques to manage risks associated with our insurance guarantees, increased volatility in the financial markets and unanticipated contract owner behavior may increase the cost of these hedges and/or negatively affect our ability to hedge certain risks. We may lose money on the derivatives that we hold as part of our hedging programs or otherwise. Ultimately, our hedging programs may be inadequate to protect us against the full extent of the exposure or losses we seek to mitigate, which in turn may negatively impact our financial strength and claims-paying ability.

Downgrades and potential downgrades to our claims-paying and financial strength ratings may signal a higher risk that we may be unable to meet our financial obligations, and may themselves negatively affect our financial strength and claims-paying ability.

Our claims-paying and financial strength ratings, which various ratings organizations publish as measures of an insurance company's ability to meet contract owner obligations, are important to maintaining public confidence in Allianz Life of New York and our products, and the ability to market our products and services. A downgrade or an announced potential downgrade by credit rating agencies in our claims-paying and financial strength ratings may reflect an increased risk that we may not be able to meet our financial obligations. Any such downgrade or potential downgrade may itself harm our financial strength and claims-paying ability by causing financial losses to our business. Such losses may be the result of:

Allianz Index Advantage+SM New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – [MMDD], 2024

we may not be able to meet our financial obligations. Any such downgrade or potential downgrade may itself harm our financial strength and claims-paying ability by causing financial losses to our business. Such losses may be the result of:

•

reductions in new sales of insurance products, annuities and other investment products;

•

increases in our cost of capital or limitations on our access to sources of capital;

•

harm to our relationships with distributors and sales specialists;

•

material increases in the number or amount of full and partial withdrawals under our insurance products;

•

pressure on us to reduce prices or increase crediting rates for many of our insurance products; and

•

harm to our ability to obtain reinsurance or obtain reasonable pricing for reinsurance.

Similarly, credit rating agencies also evaluate the insurance industry as a whole and may change Allianz Life of New York’s and other insurance companies’ financial strength ratings based on the agencies’ overall view of the industry. It is possible that Allianz Life of New York’s credit rating could be similarly downgraded in the future based on credit rating agencies’ evaluation of the life insurance industry as a whole due to changes in their view of Allianz Life of New York relative to the industry or a change in their rating assessment methodologies. In addition, downgrades or announced potential downgrades in the financial strength ratings of the financial institutions with which we do business may adversely impact our business operations and may cause financial losses to our business.

The evolving landscape of environmental, social and governance standards could adversely affect our reputation or business results and could lead to litigation or regulatory proceedings that harm our financial condition.

Customers, regulators, and other market participants may evaluate our business or other practices according to a variety of environmental, social and governance ("ESG") standards, expectations, or metrics, all of which may evolve, may be subjective or underdeveloped in nature, and may reflect contrasting or conflicting values. Standard-setting organizations and regulators including, but not limited to, the SEC, and the NYDFS, have proposed or adopted, or may propose or adopt, ESG rules or standards applicable to us. As previously discussed, the SEC has proposed new disclosure rules that, if adopted, would generally require a wide range of registered companies, including us, to prepare extensive disclosures and financial information on climate-related risk. Final SEC rules have not yet been adopted. Due to the sometimes conflicting, uncertain, and subjective ESG regulatory and market environment, we may be seen as acting inconsistently with ESG standards or values from the perspective of certain customers, regulators, or other constituents. As a result, we may face adverse regulatory, customer, media, or public scrutiny related to ESG that potentially could have a negative impact on our business or reputation or lead to legal challenges.

Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – May 1, 2023

uncertain, and subjective ESG regulatory and market environment, we may be seen as acting inconsistently with ESG standards or values from the perspective of certain customers, regulators, or other constituents. As a result, we may face adverse regulatory, customer, media, or public scrutiny related to ESG that potentially could have a negative impact on our business or reputation or lead to legal challenges.

Risks Primarily Related to Our Business Operations

Breaches of security, or interference with our technology infrastructure, could harm our business.

Our business relies on technology systems and networks, including systems and networks managed by third parties to process, transmit and store information, and to conduct business activities and transactions with clients, distributors, vendors, and other third parties. We are also subject to certain federal and state regulations that require us to establish and maintain policies and procedures designed to protect sensitive client information. Maintaining the integrity of our systems is critical to the success of our business operations, including the retention of clients, and to the protection of our clients’ personal information. To date, we have not identified any material breaches or interference with our systems and networks; however, we routinely encounter and address such threats, including an increasing frequency of phishing scams, introductions of malware and unauthorized payment requests. Any such breaches or interference by third parties or by our employees that may in the future occur could have a material adverse impact on our business operations and our financial condition.

We have implemented and maintain security measures designed to protect against breaches of security and other interference with systems and networks resulting from attacks by third parties, including hackers, and from employee error or malfeasance. We also require third party vendors who, in the provision of services to us, are provided with or process information pertaining to our business or our clients to meet certain information security standards. Changes in our technology platforms, such as an evolution to accommodate mobile computing, may also require corresponding changes in our systems, networks and data security measures. In addition, the increasing reliance on technology systems and networks and the occurrence and potential adverse impact of attacks on such systems and networks, both generally and in the financial services industry, have enhanced government and regulatory scrutiny of the measures taken by companies to protect against cyber-security threats. As these threats, and government and regulatory oversight of associated risks, continue to evolve, we may be required to expend additional resources to enhance or expand upon the security measures we currently maintain.

Allianz Index Advantage+SM New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – [MMDD], 2024

Despite the measures we have taken and may in the future take to address and mitigate these risks, we cannot ensure that our systems and networks will not be subject to breaches or interference. Any such event may result in operational disruptions as well as unauthorized access to or the disclosure or loss of our proprietary information or our clients’ personal information, which in turn may result in legal claims, regulatory scrutiny and liability, reputational damage, the incurrence of costs to eliminate or mitigate further exposure, the loss of clients or other damage to our business. Any such event may interfere with, impede or cause delays in our calculation of values, processing of transactions and making of payments under the Contract. In addition, the trend toward broad consumer and general public notification of such incidents could exacerbate the harm to our business operations and our financial condition. Even if we successfully protected our technology infrastructure and the confidentiality of sensitive data, we may incur significant expenses in responding to any such attacks as well as the adoption and maintenance of appropriate security measures. We could also suffer harm to our business and reputation if attempted security breaches are publicized. We cannot be certain that advances in criminal capabilities, discovery of new vulnerabilities, attempts to exploit vulnerabilities in our systems, data thefts, physical system or network break-ins or inappropriate access, or other developments will not compromise or breach the technology or other security measures protecting our networks and systems used in connection with our products and services. There may be an increased risk of cyberattacks during periods of geo-political or military conflict.

The failure to protect our clients’ confidential information and privacy could adversely affect our business.

A number of our businesses are subject to privacy regulations and confidentiality obligations, including the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and state privacy laws and regulations. We also have contractual obligations to protect certain confidential information we obtain from our existing vendors and clients. These obligations generally include protecting such confidential information in the same manner and to the same extent as we protect our own confidential information. The actions we take to protect confidential information vary by business segment and may include, among other things:

•

training and educating our employees regarding our obligations relating to confidential information;

•

monitoring changes in state or federal privacy and compliance requirements;

•

drafting appropriate contractual provisions into any contract that raises proprietary and confidentiality issues;

•

maintaining secure storage facilities for tangible records;

Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – May 1, 2023

•

limiting access to electronic information; and

•

in the event of a security breach, providing credit monitoring or other services to affected customers.

In addition, we must develop, implement and maintain a comprehensive written information security program with appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect such confidential information. If we do not properly comply with privacy regulations and protect confidential information, we could experience adverse consequences, including regulatory sanctions, such as penalties, fines and loss of license, as well as loss of reputation and possible litigation. This could have an adverse impact on our Company’s reputation and business results.

Protection from system interruptions and operating errors is important to our business. If we were to experience a sustained interruption to our telecommunications or data processing systems or other failure in operational execution could harm our business operations and our business results.

Operating errors and system or network interruptions could delay and disrupt our ability to develop, deliver or maintain our products and services, causing harm to our business and reputation and resulting in loss of customers or revenue. Operating errors and system or network interruptions may also interfere with, impede or cause delays in our calculation of values, processing of transactions and making of payments under the Contract. Interruptions could be caused by operational failures arising from employee error or malfeasance, interference by third parties (including hackers and other cyber-attacks), implementation of new technology, and maintenance of existing technology. Our financial, accounting, data processing or other operating systems and facilities may fail to operate or report data properly, experience connectivity disruptions or otherwise become disabled as a result of events that are wholly or partially beyond our control, adversely affecting our ability to process transactions or provide products and services to customers. The cause of these interruptions can include fires, floods, earthquakes and other natural disasters, power losses, equipment failures, attacks by third parties, failures of internal or vendor software or systems and other events beyond our control.

In addition, we rely on third party service providers and vendors for certain communications, technology and business functions and face the risk of operational failure (including, without limitation, failure caused by an inaccuracy, untimeliness or other deficiency in data reporting), termination or capacity constraints of any of the clearing agents, exchanges, clearing houses or other third party service providers that we use to facilitate or are component providers to our transactions and other product manufacturing and distribution activities. These risks are heightened by the evolution in the financial markets of increasingly sophisticated products, by business-driven hedging, by compliance issues and by other risk management or investment or by financial management strategies. Any such failure, termination or constraint could adversely impact our ability to implement transactions, service our clients, manage our exposure to risk or otherwise achieve desired outcomes.

Allianz Index Advantage+SM New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – [MMDD], 2024

risk management or investment or by financial management strategies. Any such failure, termination or constraint could adversely impact our ability to implement transactions, service our clients, manage our exposure to risk or otherwise achieve desired outcomes.

The occurrence of natural or man-made disasters and catastrophes could adversely affect our business operations and our business results.

The occurrence of natural or man-made disasters and catastrophes, including extreme weather events, acts of terrorism, geo-political disputes, public health crises (e.g. COVID-19), industrial accident, blackout, cyber-attack, computer virus, insider threat, insurrections and military actions, unanticipated problems with our disaster recovery systems, or a support failure from external providers, could adversely affect our business operations and our business results, particularly if those events affect our computer-based data processing, transmission, storage, and retrieval systems or destroy data. Such disasters and catastrophes may damage our facilities, preventing our employees from performing their roles or otherwise disturbing our ordinary business operations, and by impacting claims. Such disasters and catastrophes may also impact us indirectly by changing the condition and behaviors of our customers, business counterparties and regulators, as well as by causing declines or volatility in the economic and financial markets. Climate change could increase our overall risk as extreme weather events may become more likely or frequent. We rely on certain third-parties to provide certain services important to our business operations. While we monitor the performance of such third-parties, including those with employees who operate remotely, successful implementation and execution of their business continuity strategies are largely outside of our control. Weaknesses or failures within a vendor’s business continuity plan in light of a natural or man-made disaster or catastrophe could materially disrupt our business operations.

Inadequate or failed processes or systems, human factors or external events may adversely affect our reputation or operational effectiveness, as well as our financial condition.

Operational risk is inherent in our business and can manifest itself in various ways, including business interruption, poor vendor performance, information systems malfunctions or failures, regulatory breaches, human errors, employee misconduct, external fraud, and inability to recruit, motivate, and retain key employees. These events can potentially result in financial loss, harm to our reputation and/or hinder our operational effectiveness. Management attempts to control these risks and keep operational risk at low levels by maintaining a sound and well controlled environment in light of the characteristics of our business, markets and regulatory environment in which we operate. Notwithstanding these measures, operational risk is part of the business environment in which we operate, and we may experience operational disruptions and incur losses from time to time due to these types of risks.

Allianz Index Advantage® New York Variable Annuity Prospectus – May 1, 2023

risks and keep operational risk at low levels by maintaining a sound and well controlled environment in light of the characteristics of our business, markets and regulatory environment in which we operate. Notwithstanding these measures, operational risk is part of the business environment in which we operate, and we may experience operational disruptions and incur losses from time to time due to these types of risks.
