New York Life has consolidated its global asset management operations under a single brand, New York Life Investment Management, bringing together its public and private market businesses into one platform with $807.7 billion in assets under management as of December 31, 2025.
The launch formalizes an integration plan unveiled in September 2025 to align the company’s third-party asset management and general account investment operations under a unified global structure. The new platform combines capabilities across global active fixed income and private markets while maintaining the specialized investment processes and operational autonomy of its affiliated managers.
It continues to operate under a multi-boutique model, uniting existing affiliated investment managers that offer strategies across fixed income, private capital, real estate, mutual funds, ETFs, closed-end funds, and separately managed accounts.
New York Life said the firm ranks among the top 30 largest asset managers globally, with a top-25 position in global active fixed income and top-15 standing in private markets.
“By unifying our asset management businesses under one global brand, we are strengthening our ability to deliver expanded solutions across public and private markets and deepen long-term partnerships with clients navigating increasingly complex markets,” said Craig DeSanto, chair, president, and CEO of New York Life.
The company said the new structure is intended to make its investment capabilities more accessible to clients. Affiliated managers will continue to operate with investment independence under the global brand.
“Our global brand reflects the strength and scale of our platform across public and private markets, making the full breadth of our capabilities more visible and accessible to clients navigating the next era of investing. With the support of New York Life, we are continuing to expand the breadth of our offerings, guided by disciplined active management, long-term partnerships, and the enduring values of our firm,” said Naïm Abou-Jaoudé, CEO of New York Life Investment Management.
To support the rollout, the firm will introduce an advertising campaign built around the message, “Built on stability. Designed for what is next.” The launch is accompanied by initiatives focused on distribution, product development, innovation, and client engagement.
