Risks
 
Risk of Loss
You can lose money by investing in this Contract including loss of principal.
Principal Risks
Not a Short-Term
Investment
This Contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an
investor who needs ready access to cash.
Withdrawal charges may apply for the first 7 years of the Contract (or
8 years if your Contract was issued prior to January 1, 2024). Withdrawal
charges will reduce the value of your Contract if you withdraw money during
that time.
The benefits of tax deferral and living benefit protection also mean the
Contract is more beneficial to investors with a long time horizon.
