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 contracts 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. |
