Updated Information About Your Contract

 

 

 

The information in this Summary Prospectus is a summary of certain contract features that have changed since the Prospectus dated May 1, 2023. This may not reflect all of the changes that have occurred since you entered into your contract.

 

INVESTMENT OPTIONS

 

There have been changes to the Appendix “Portfolio Companies available under the contract” in this Summary Prospectus.

 

Portfolio Reorganization: Certain portfolios of the EQ Premier VIP Trust (the “Acquired Trust Portfolios”) were reorganized into substantially identical, newly created portfolios of the EQ Advisors Trust (the “Acquiring Trust Portfolios”). The investment objectives, policies, principal strategies, principal risks, and the fees and expenses of the Acquired Trust Portfolios and corresponding Acquiring Trust Portfolios are substantially identical, and their Investment Manager did not change. The Acquired Trust Portfolios under your contract were removed as investment options, and the corresponding Acquiring Trust Portfolios were added as available investment options (subject to any applicable allocation restrictions) without impacting your account value, investment allocations, or expenses.

 

Investment Option Name Change: EQ/JPMorgan Growth Stock Portfolio (formerly EQ/T. Rowe Price Growth Stock Portfolio).

Series CP®—If you surrender your contract, apply your cash value to a non-life contingent annuity payment option, or withdraw money from Series CP® of the contract within 9 years following your last contribution, you will be assessed a withdrawal charge of up to 8% of contributions withdrawn.

Series C—No withdrawal charge.

 

For additional information about charges for surrenders and early withdrawals see “Withdrawal charge” in “Charges and expenses” in the Prospectus.

Transaction Charges  

In addition to withdrawal charges, you may also be charged for other transactions (for special requests such as wire transfers, express mail, duplicate contracts, preparing checks, third-party transfers or exchanges, or when you transfer between investment options in excess a certain number).

 

For additional information about transaction charges see “Charges that the Company deducts” in “Charges and expenses” in the Prospectus.

Ongoing Fees and Expenses (annual charges)   Each series of the contract provides for different ongoing fees and expenses. The table below describes 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
Base Contract (varies by contract series)(1)      1.30%      1.70%
Investment options (Portfolio fees and expenses)(2)      0.68%      1.40%
Optional benefits available for an additional charge (for a single optional benefit, if elected)(3)      0.35%      1.55%
 

 

(1)  Expressed as an annual percent of daily net assets in the variable investment options.

(2)  Expressed as an annual percentage of daily net assets in the Portfolio. This range is for the year ended December 31, 2023 and could change from year to year.

(3)  Expressed as an annual percentage of the applicable benefit base.

 

 

Because your contract is customizable, the choices you make affect how much you will pay. To help you understand the cost of owning your contract, the following table shows the lowest and highest cost you could pay each year, based on current charges. This estimate assumes no credits and that you do not take withdrawals from the contract or make any other transactions, which could add withdrawal charges that substantially increase costs.

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. A withdrawal charge may apply in certain circumstances and 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 variable investment options available under the contract, (e.g., the Portfolios). 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 “Variable investment options”, “Guaranteed interest option” and “Portfolios of the Trust” in “Purchasing the Contract” in the Prospectus. See also 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. The Company is solely responsible to the contract owner for the contract’s account value and the Guaranteed benefits. The general obligations, including the guaranteed interest option, and any Guaranteed benefits under the contract are supported by our general account and are subject to our claims-paying ability. An owner should look solely to our financial strength for our claims-paying ability. More information about the Company, including our financial strength ratings, may be obtained at https://equitable.com/about-us/financial-strength-ratings.

 

For additional information about insurance company risks see “About the general account” in “More information” in the Prospectus.

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.

 

Credits under Series CP® contracts may be recaptured upon free look, annuitization, and death.

 

There are restrictions regarding investment options if Guaranteed benefits are elected, limits on contributions and transfers into and out of the guaranteed interest option, and restrictions or limitations with Special DCA programs. See “Allocating your contributions” in “Purchasing the Contract” and “Transferring your account value” in “Transferring your money among investment options” in the Prospectus for more information.

 

For more information see ”About the Separate Account” in “More information” in the Prospectus.

 

Currently, we do not charge for transfers among investment options under the contract. However, we reserve the right to charge for any transfers in excess of 12 per contract year. We will provide you with advance notice if we decide to assess the transfer charge, which will never exceed $35 per transfer.

 

For additional information about the investment options, including information regarding volatility management strategies and techniques, see “Transfer charge” in “Charges and expenses” and “Portfolios of the Trust” in “Purchasing the Contract” in the Prospectus.

Optional Benefits  

At any time, we have the right to limit or terminate your contributions, allocations and transfers to any of the variable investment options. If you have one or more Guaranteed benefits (which are also known as optional benefits) and we exercise our right to discontinue the acceptance of, and/or place additional limitations on, contributions to the contract, you may no longer be able to fund your Guaranteed benefit(s).

 

Investment options are limited if Guaranteed benefits are elected. Withdrawals that exceed limits specified by the terms of an optional benefit may affect the availability of the benefit by reducing the benefit by an amount greater than the value withdrawn, and/or could terminate the benefit.

 

For additional information about the optional benefits see “How you can purchase and contribute to your contract” in “Purchasing the Contract” in the Prospectus. See also “Death Benefits” and “Living Benefits” in “Benefits available under the contract” in the Prospectus.

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. There is no additional tax benefit to you if the contract is purchased through a tax-qualified plan or individual retirement account (IRA). Withdrawals will be subject to ordinary income tax and may be subject to tax penalties. Generally, you are not taxed until you make a withdrawal from the contract.

 

For additional information about tax implications see “Tax information” in the Prospectus.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Investment Professional Compensation  

Some financial professionals may receive compensation for selling the contract to you, both in the form of commissions or in the form of contribution-based compensation. Financial professionals may also receive additional compensation for enhanced marketing opportunities and other services (commonly referred to as “marketing allowances”). This conflict of interest may influence the financial professional to recommend this contract over another investment.

 

For additional information about compensation to financial professionals see “Distribution of the contracts” in “More information” 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 exchanges see “Charge for third-party transfer or exchange” in “Charges and expenses” in the Prospectus.
