Ongoing Fees and Expenses (annual charges)  

The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you may pay each year under the contract, depending on the options you choose. Please refer to your contract specifications page for information about the specific fees you will pay each year based on the options you have elected.

 

     
    Annual Fee   Minimum   Maximum

  0.13%   2.95%  
  Record maintenance and report fee(3), (4)   $12.00   $12.00  
 

 

(1)  Expressed as an annual percentage of average daily net assets in the variable investment options. The maximum base contract expense includes a program expense charge (1.00%) and fund related other expenses (0.01%). The program expense charge will fluctuate from year to year based on assets in the Investment Trusts and the number of participants enrolled in the Program. Based on the number of participants in the program and the assets in the Investment Trusts, we anticipate that the program expense charge for the 12 month period beginning May 1, 2024 will be 0.48%. This charge is also deducted from amounts in the GIO and the Money Market Guarantee Account. The fund related other expenses vary by Fund and will fluctuate from year to year based on actual expenses. The fee of 0.01% represents the highest other expenses incurred by a Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. These expenses are based on the expenses incurred by the Funds during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

 

(2)  Portfolio fees and expenses may be based, in part, on estimated amounts of such expenses.

 

(3)  We deduct this fee on a quarterly basis at the rate of $3.00 per participant.

 

(4)  For Investment Only retirement arrangements, the fee is $1.00 per quarter.

RISKS

Risk of Loss  

The contract is subject to the risk of loss. You could lose some or all of your account value.

For additional information about the risk of loss see “Principal risks of investing in the contract” in the Prospectus.

Not a Short-Term Investment  

The contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash because the contract is designed to provide for the accumulation of retirement savings and income on a long-term basis. As such, you should not use the contract as a short-term investment or savings vehicle. Any withdrawals may also be subject to federal and state income taxes and tax penalties.

 

For additional information about the investment profile of the contract see “Fee table” in the Prospectus.

Risks Associated with Investment Options  

An investment in the contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the investment options available under the contract. Each investment option, including the guaranteed interest option, has its own unique risks. You should review the investment options available under the contract before making an investment decision.

 

For additional information about the risks associated with investment options see “Investment options” in “Program Investment options” and Appendix: Portfolio Companies Available Under the Contract in the Prospectus.

Insurance Company Risks  

An investment in the contract is subject to the risks related to the Company. Equitable Financial Life Insurance Company is solely responsible to the contract owner and participants for the contract’s account value. The general obligations under the contract including the guaranteed interest option, are supported by our general account and are subject to our claims paying ability. An owner and participant should look solely to our financial strength for our claims-paying ability. More information about Equitable Financial Life Insurance Company, including our financial strength ratings, may be obtained upon request by calling 1-800-789-7771.

RESTRICTIONS

Investments  

We may, at any time, exercise our rights to limit or terminate your contributions, allocations and transfers to any of the variable investment options and to limit the number of variable investment options which you may select. Such rights include, among others, combining any two or more variable investment options and transferring account value from any variable investment option to another variable investment option.

 

You may transfer accumulated amounts among the investment options under your contract at any time and in any amount, subject to certain transfer limitations described in the Prospectus. We reserve the right to remove or substitute Portfolios as investment options.

TAXES

Tax Implications  

You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in, and payments received under, the contract.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Investment Professional Compensation  

Some employees may receive incentive compensation for performing marketing and service functions under the contract.

 

For additional information about compensation see “Distribution of the contracts” in the Prospectus.

Exchanges  

Some financial professionals may have a financial incentive to offer 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 preferable to purchase the new contract rather than continue to own your existing contract.

 

For additional information about the charges you might incur in connection with an exchange see “Charges and expenses” in the Prospectus.

Overview of the contract

 

 

 

Purpose of the Contract. The ADA Program provides members of certain groups and other eligible persons several plans for the accumulation of retirement savings on a tax-deferred basis.

 

The Program consists of either a defined contribution IRS Pre-Approved Plan and Separate Trust (“IRS Pre-Approved Plan and Trust) that is sponsored by the Company or, for Employers who prefer to use their own individually-designed or an IRS Pre-Approved defined contribution Plan document, in conjunction with the Plan’s Trust, or the Pooled Trust. The Program offers, according to the terms of either the IRS Pre-Approved Plan and Trust or Pooled Trust, a group variable annuity Contract as a funding vehicle for employers who sponsor qualified retirement Plans. Plan participants should refer to the provisions of their plan that describes their rights in more specific terms.

 

The contract is designed to help you accumulate assets through investments in the Funds or the underlying portfolios in which the Funds invest. It can provide or supplement your retirement income by offering a variety of benefit payment options, which are subject to the provisions of your employer’s plan. Plan participants should consult their employer for details. An employer’s plan may allow a choice of one or more forms of distribution. The contract may be appropriate if you have a long-term investment horizon. It is not intended for people who may need to access invested funds within a short-term timeframe or frequently.

 

Phases of the Contract. The contract has two phases: an accumulation (savings) phase and an income (annuity) phase.

 

Accumulation (Savings) Phase

 

During the accumulation phase, you can allocate your contributions to one or more of the investment options available under the contracts or to the guaranteed interest option. Plan participant choices will be limited to the investment options selected by their employer.

 

Investment options

 

We offer various investment options under the Program, including the Funds and the guaranteed interest option. Each Fund has a different investment objective. The Funds try to meet their investment objectives by investing either in a portfolio of securities or by holding mutual fund shares. We cannot assure you that any of the Funds will meet their investment objectives.

 

For additional information about each underlying portfolio see “APPENDIX: Portfolio Companies Available Under the Contract.

 

Guaranteed interest option

 

The guaranteed interest option is part of our general account. This option pays interest at guaranteed rates and we guarantee principal. The amount allocated to the guaranteed interest option earns interest at the current guaranteed interest rate which is an annual effective rate. After we credit the interest, we deduct certain charges and fees.

 

Income (Annuity) Phase

 

The Program offers a variety of benefit payment options. If you are a participant in an individually-designed plan, ask your employer for details. Once you are eligible, your plan may allow you the following forms of distribution:

 

    installment payments;

 

    qualified joint and survivor annuity;

 

    joint and survivor annuity;

 

    joint and survivor annuity — period certain

 

    life annuity;

 

    life annuity — period certain;

 

    cash refund annuity

 

    lump sum payment

 

We reserve the right to remove or change these annuity payout options, other than the life annuity, or to add another payout option at any time. When you take a distribution, if you choose to purchase one of our annuities, your investments are converted to income payments and you will no longer be able to make any additional withdrawals from your contract.

Contract Features.

 

Transfers among investment options

 

You may transfer accumulated amounts among the investment options at any time and in any amount, subject to the transfer limitations described in the Prospectus. In addition to our rules, transfers among the investment options may be subject to employer plan provisions which may limit or disallow such movements. We do not impose a charge for transfers among the investment options.

 

Access to your Money

 

The amounts in the Funds are generally available for distribution at any time, subject to the provisions of your plan. Distributions from Funds are permitted at any time except if there is any delay in redemptions from the corresponding portfolio of each Trust, as applicable.

 

Participant Loans

 

Depending on the terms of your employer plan, you may be permitted to take loans from your account value. Any interest charged on participant loans is determined by the employer plan.

 

Death Benefit

 

Upon death your employer will make a withdrawal to pay out any death benefit to your beneficiary in accordance with the employer plan, based on the participant’s account value under the contract.

Buying the Contract

 

 

 

The ADA Program provides members of certain groups and other eligible persons several plans for the accumulation of retirement savings on a tax-deferred basis. Your employer makes payments to us that we call “contributions.” We can discontinue offering ADA at any time and not accept further contributions. We do not require a minimum contribution amount from participants. Your contract features and charges may vary depending on your employer plan. Please refer to your plan documents for details.

 

The Program consists of either a defined contribution IRS Pre-Approved Plan and Separate Trust (“IRS Pre-Approved Plan and Trust) that is sponsored by the Company or, for Employers who prefer to use their own individually-designed or an IRS Pre-Approved defined contribution Plan document, in conjunction with the Plan’s Trust, or the Pooled Trust. The Program offers, according to the terms of either the IRS Pre-Approved Plan and Trust or Pooled Trust, a group variable annuity Contract as a funding vehicle for employers who sponsor qualified retirement Plans. Plan participants should refer to the provisions of their plan that describes their rights in more specific terms.

 

Minimum initial and subsequent contribution amounts

 

We do not impose minimum initial or subsequent contribution amounts on individual participants, although your employer may do so. Please refer to your plan documents for any required minimum amounts. Individual participant contributions and aggregate employer plan contributions may be limited by law.

 

When Contributions are credited

 

We credit the full amount of your contributions under your contract. We will apply contributions on the business day when we receive them along with all the required information.

Making Withdrawals: Accessing the Money in Your Contract

 

 

 

Accessing your money

 

Withdrawals. You may take a partial withdrawal at any time before annuity benefits begin. Withdrawals from the Funds are not subject to withdrawal charges. Withdrawals from the GIO are generally permitted. Withdrawals reduce your account value and may have tax consequences, including possible tax penalties. Withdrawals may also reduce any death benefit provided by your plan. Unless you specify otherwise, withdrawals will be taken from the investment options in your account pro rata.

 

Surrendering your contract. You may surrender your contract to receive your account balance at any time before you begin to receive annuity payments. For a surrender to be effective, we must receive your written request on our prescribed form at our Processing Office. We will determine your account balance on the date we receive the required information. All benefits under the contract will terminate as of that business day.

 

When to expect payment. Amounts in the Funds and Guaranteed Interest Option are generally available for withdrawal at any time, subject to the provisions of your plan. However, there may be a delay for withdrawals from the funds if there is any delay in redemptions from the corresponding portfolio of the Investment Trusts.

 

Please see “Withdrawals” in the Prospectus for more information on the ways you may withdraw your account value.

(1)

Expressed as an annual percentage of average daily net assets in the variable investment options. The base contract expense includes a program expense charge (1.00%) and fund related other expenses (0.01%). The program expense charge will fluctuate from year to year based on assets in the Investment Trusts and the number of participants enrolled in the Program. Based on the number of participants in the program and the assets in the Investment Trusts, we anticipate that the program expense charge for the 12 month period beginning May 1, 2024 will be 0.48%. This charge is also deducted from amounts in the GIO and the Money Market Guarantee Account. The fund related other expenses vary by Fund and will fluctuate from year to year based on actual expenses.
