Variable universal life insurance has annual fees and expenses associated with it in addition to life insurance related charges (which differ with the product chosen), including surrender charges and investment management fees. Variable universal life insurance products are long-term contracts and are sold by prospectus. They are subject to market risk due to the underlying sub-accounts, and are unsuitable as a short term savings vehicle. The primary purpose of variable universal life insurance is to provide lifetime protection against economic loss due to the death of the insured person. Cash values are not guaranteed if the client is invested in the investment accounts. There are risks associated with each investment option, and the policy may lose value.

An investment in the Money Market or Money Market B portfolio is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, U.S. Government, or any other government agency. While not guaranteed, the portfolio intends to maintain, to the extent practicable, a constant per share NAV of $1.00. Certain market conditions may cause the return of the portfolio to become low or possibly negative.

Please call 1-800-VARILINE (1-800-827-4546) for additional information.
