Life insurance products contain fees, such as mortality and expense charges (which may increase over time), and may contain restrictions such as surrender charges. Variable life insurance products contain fees, such as management fees, fund expenses, distribution fees and mortality and expense charges (which may increase over time). The variable investment options are subject to market risk, including loss of principal.
Additional agreements may be available. Agreements may be subject to additional costs and restrictions. Agreements may not be available in all states or may exist under a different name in various states and may not be available in combination with other agreements.
Policy loans and withdrawals may create an adverse tax result in the event of lapse or policy surrender, and will reduce both the surrender value and death benefit. Withdrawals may be subject to taxation within the first fifteen years of the contract. Clients should consult their tax advisor when considering taking a policy loan or withdrawal.
