Summary Prospectus for New Investors
May 1, 2024
This summary prospectus (the “Summary Prospectus”) summarizes key features of the contract. Before you invest, you should also review the statutory prospectus (the “Prospectus”) for the contract, which contains more information about the contract’s features, benefits, and risks. You can find this document and other information about the contract online at www.equitable.com/ICSR#EQH148384. You can also obtain this information at no cost by calling 1-877-522-5035, by sending an email request to EquitableFunds@dfinsolutions.com, or by calling your financial intermediary.
The Accumulator® Series 11.0 are variable and fixed individual and group flexible premium deferred annuity contracts. This Summary Prospectus only describes Accumulator® Series B (“Series B”), Accumulator® Series CP® (“Series CP®”) , Accumulator® Series L (“Series L”) and Accumulator® Series C (“Series C”). The contracts provide for the accumulation of retirement savings and for income. The contracts offer income and death benefit protection as well. They also offer a number of payout options.
You invest to accumulate value on a tax-deferred basis in one or more of our investment options: (i) variable investment options listed in Appendix “Portfolio Companies available under the contract”, (ii) the guaranteed interest option, or (iii) the account for dollar cost averaging.
If you purchase a Series CP® contract, we will add a credit to your contributions. Fees and charges for a Series CP® contract are higher than for a Series B contract and the amount of the credit may be more than offset by these higher fees and charges. Credits may be recaptured upon free look, annuitization and death.
You may cancel your contract within 10 days of receiving it without paying fees or penalties. In some states, this cancellation period may be longer. Upon cancellation, you will receive either a full refund of the amount you paid with your application or your total account value. You should review the Prospectus, or consult with your investment professional, for additional information about the specific cancellation terms that apply.
We reserve the right to stop accepting any application or contribution from you at any time, including after you purchase the contract. If you have one or more Guaranteed 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). This means that you may no longer be able to increase your Guaranteed Benefit account value and the benefit bases associated with your Guaranteed benefits through contributions.
Additional information about certain investment products, including variable annuities, has been prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s staff and is available at Investor.gov.

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. | |

Overview of the Contract
Purpose of the Contract
The contract is designed to help you accumulate assets through investments in underlying Portfolios and the guaranteed interest option during the accumulation phase. It can provide or supplement your retirement income by providing a stream of income payments during the annuity phase. It also provides death benefits to protect your beneficiaries and living benefits to protect your access to income. 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, or who intend to engage in frequent transfers of the underlying Portfolios.
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 available investment options, which include:
| • | variable investment options (with restrictions depending on GMIB selection); |
| • | Guaranteed interest option; and |
| • | the account for dollar cost averaging. |
For additional information about each underlying Portfolio see Appendix “Portfolio Companies available under the contract.”
Income (Annuity) Phase
You enter the income phase when you annuitize your contract. During the income phase, you will receive a stream of fixed income payments for the annuity payout period of time you elect. You can elect to receive annuity payments (1) for life; (2) for life with a certain minimum number of payments; or (3) for life with a certain amount of payment. Please note that when you annuitize, your investments are converted to income payments and you will no longer be able to make any additional withdrawals from your contract. All accumulation phase benefits terminate upon annuitization and the contract has a maximum annuity commencement date.
Contract Features
The contract provides for the accumulation of retirement savings and income. The contract offers income and death benefit protection, offers various payout options and a credit (Series CP® contracts only).
Contract Classes
You can purchase one of four contract classes that have different ongoing fees and withdrawal charges. For example, the contract offers Series B with a 7 year withdrawal charge period and a 1.30% contract fee, Series CP® with a 9 year withdrawal charge period and a 1.55% contract fee, Series L with a 4 year withdrawal charge period and a 1.65% contract fee, and Series C has no withdrawal charge and a 1.70% contract fee. If you purchase a Series CP® contract, we will add a credit to your contributions. Fees and charges for the Series CP® contract are higher than for the Series B contract, the amount of the credits may be more than offset by these higher fees and charges, and credits may be recaptured upon free look, annuitization, and death.
Access to Your Money
During the accumulation phase you can take withdrawals from your contract. Withdrawals will reduce your account value and may be subject to withdrawal charges, income taxes and a tax penalty if you are younger than 591⁄2. Withdrawals may also reduce (possibly on a greater than dollar-for-dollar basis) or terminate any guaranteed benefits.
5
Death Benefits
Your contract includes a standard death benefit that pays your beneficiaries an amount at least equal to your contributions less adjusted withdrawals. For an additional fee, you can purchase other death benefits called Guaranteed minimum death benefits (“GMDBs”) that provide different minimum payment guarantees.
Living Benefits
A living benefit called the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (“GMIB”) is available with the contract for an additional charge. The GMIB is a benefit that guarantees, subject to certain restrictions, annual lifetime payments or “Lifetime GMIB payments”. After age 85 you can convert the GMIB to a GWBL. The minimum guarantee provided by this benefit may never come into effect.
Rebalancing and Dollar Cost Averaging
You can elect to have your account value automatically rebalanced at no additional charge. You can also elect to allocate your investments using a dollar cost averaging program at no additional charge. Generally, you may not elect both a dollar cost averaging program and a rebalancing option.
Other contracts
We offer a variety of fixed and variable annuity contracts. They may offer features, including investment options, and have fees and charges, that are different from those in the contracts offered by this Prospectus. Not every contract we issue, including some described in this Prospectus, is offered through every selling broker-dealer. Some selling broker-dealers may not offer and/or limit the offering of certain features or options, as well as limit the availability of the contracts, based on issue age or other criteria established by the selling broker-dealer. Upon request, your financial professional can show you information regarding our other annuity contracts that he or she distributes. You can also contact us to find out more about the availability of any of our annuity contracts.
You should work with your financial professional to decide whether one or more optional benefits are appropriate for you based on a thorough analysis of your particular insurance needs, financial objectives, investment goals, time horizons and risk tolerance.

Buying the Contract
You may purchase a contract by making payments to us that we call “contributions.” We can refuse to accept an application from you or any contribution from you at any time, including after you purchase the contract. We require a minimum contribution amount for each type of contract purchased. Maximum contribution limitations also apply.
Maximum issue age
The maximum issue age for non-qualified and IRA contracts is 85 for Series B, Series L and Series C, and 70 for Series CP®. The maximum issue age for qualified plan contracts is 75 for Series B and Series L, and 70 for Series CP® (Series C contracts not available). The maximum issue age for Inherited IRA beneficiary continuation contracts is 70 for Series B, Series L and Series C (Series CP® contracts not available).
Minimum initial and subsequent contribution amounts
The minimum initial contribution is generally $5,000 for Series B contracts, $10,000 for Series CP® and Series L contracts, and $25,000 for Series C contracts. Each subsequent contribution generally must be at least $500 (except for certain IRAs—$50 for Traditional and Roth IRAs and $1,000 for an Inherited IRA).
Limitations on contributions to the contract
We reserve the right to refuse to accept any contribution under the contract at any time or change our contribution limits and requirements. This means that if you have one or more guaranteed 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 the guaranteed benefit(s).
When initial and subsequent contributions are credited
Initial Contribution
If your application is in good order when we receive it for application processing purposes, your contribution will be applied within two business days. If any information we require to issue your contract is missing or unclear, we will hold your contribution while we try to obtain this information. If we are unable to obtain all of the information we require within five business days after we receive an incomplete application or form, we will inform the financial professional submitting the application on your behalf. We will then return the contribution to you, unless you or your financial professional acting on your behalf, specifically direct us to keep your contribution until we receive the required information. The contribution will be applied as of the date we receive the missing information.
Subsequent Contributions
If we receive a subsequent contribution before the close of the NYSE (typically 4:00 pm eastern), we will credit that contribution that day. If we receive your subsequent contribution after the close of the NYSE, your contribution will be applied the next business day.
Additional limitations on contributions to the contract
Additional limitations on contributions and the source of contributions apply based on the type of contract, such as non-qualified or particular types of IRAs. Please see the tables in the “Rules regarding contributions to your contract” appendix to the Prospectus for detailed information. You can obtain the Prospectus by calling the number or accessing the website noted on the first page of this summary.

Making Withdrawals: Accessing the Money in Your Contract
Accessing your money
You have several ways to access your account value before annuity payments begin. You may take partial withdrawals from your contract at any time or, depending on your specific situation, set up an automatic payment plan, a systematic withdrawal plan, a substantially equal withdrawals plan or a lifetime RMD payments plan. You may also surrender your contract to receive its cash value at any time while an owner is living (or for contracts with non-natural owners, while an annuitant is living) and before you begin to receive annuity payments (guaranteed benefit payments or otherwise). If we receive a withdrawal or surrender request in good order before the close of the NYSE (typically 4:00 pm eastern), we will process the request that day. If we receive the request after the close of the NYSE, we will process the request on the next business day. We will generally send you the full requested withdrawal amount and deduct any applicable withdrawal charges from account value unless your request otherwise.
Withdrawals will reduce your account value and may be subject to withdrawal charges, income taxes and a tax penalty if you are younger than 591⁄2. Withdrawals may also reduce (possibly on a greater than dollar-for-dollar basis) or terminate any guaranteed benefits. Surrenders also may be subject to withdrawal charges, income taxes and a tax penalty if you are younger than 591⁄2.
Please see “Accessing your money” in the Prospectus for more information on the ways you may withdraw your account value.
Free withdrawal amount
Each contract year you can withdraw a certain amount from your contract without paying a withdrawal charge.
When to expect payments
Generally, we will fulfill requests for payments out of the variable investment options (including the ATP Portfolio) within seven calendar days after the business day the transaction request is received by us in good order. These transactions may include applying proceeds to a variable annuity, payment of a death benefit, payment of any amount you withdraw (less any withdrawal charge, if applicable) and, upon surrender, payment of the cash value.

We will charge no more than $35 for each transfer at the time each transfer is processed. See “Transfer charge” under “Charges that the Company deducts” in “Charges and expenses”. |
| (3) | Currently, we do not charge for third party transfers or exchanges. However, we reserve the right to discontinue this waiver at any time, with or without notice.

The sum of these charges will never exceed 2% of the amount disbursed or transferred. These charges may increase over time to cover our administrative costs.

| (1) | The annual administrative charge is deducted from your account value on each contract date anniversary. If the contract is surrendered or annuitized or a death benefit is paid on any date other than the contract date anniversary, we will deduct a pro rata portion of the administrative charge for that year. If your account value on a contract date anniversary is $50,000 or more there is no charge. During the first two contract years this charge, if applicable, is equal to the lesser of $30 or 2% of your Total account value. Thereafter, the charge, if applicable, is $30 for each contract year. |
| (2) | Deducted annually on each contract date anniversary for which the benefit is in effect. If the contract is surrendered or annuitized, or a death benefit is paid, or the benefit is dropped (if applicable), on any date other than the contract date anniversary, we will deduct a pro rata portion of the charge for that year. |
| (3) | The benefit base is not an account value or cash value. If you elect the GMIB and/or the Guaranteed minimum death benefit at issue, your initial benefit base is equal to your initial contribution to your contract. For Series CP® contracts, your initial benefit base does not include the credit. Subsequent adjustments to the applicable benefit base may result in a benefit base that is significantly different from your total contributions or account value. See “Guaranteed minimum income benefit and Guaranteed minimum death benefit base” and “GWBL benefit base” in “Benefits available under the contract”. |
| (4) | The “Greater of” GMDB I is only available if you also elect the GMIB I – Asset Allocation. The “Greater of” GMDB II is only available if you also elect the GMIB II – Custom Selection. |
| (5) | The current charge is 1.10%. If you elect to reset the Roll-up benefit base, we reserve the right to increase your charge up to 1.25%. |
| (6) | The current charge is 1.25%. If you elect to reset the Roll-up benefit base, we reserve the right to increase your charge up to 1.40%. |
| (7) | If you elect the Earnings enhancement benefit at issue, and your GMIB then converts to the GWBL, the Earnings enhancement benefit will continue in force after conversion, although it may be adversely affected by withdrawals under the GWBL. |
| (8) | The current charge is 1.10%. If you elect to reset the Roll-up benefit base, we reserve the right to increase your charge up to 1.40%. |
| (9) | The current charge is 1.25%. If you elect to reset the Roll-up benefit base, we reserve the right to increase your charge up to 1.55%. |
| (10) | The current charge is 1.10%. If you reset your GMIB prior to conversion or if your GWBL benefit base ratchets after conversion, we reserve the right to increase your charge up to 1.40%. |
| (11) | The current charge is 1.25%. If you reset your GMIB prior to conversion or if your GWBL benefit base ratchets after conversion, we reserve the right to increase your charge up to 1.55%. |

The next item shows the minimum and maximum total operating expenses charged by the underlying Portfolios that you may pay periodically during the time that you own the contract. A complete list of Portfolios available under the contact, including their annual expenses, may be found at the back of this document. See Appendix “Portfolio Companies available under the contract.” These expenses are for the period ended December 31, 2023, and may fluctuate from year to year.

| Annual Portfolio Expenses prior to Expense Limitation Arrangement (expenses that are deducted from Portfolio assets including management fees, 12b-1 fees, service fees, and other expenses)(*) | 0.68% | 1.40% |
| (*) | “Annual Portfolio Expenses” are based, in part, on estimated amounts of such expenses. Pursuant to a contract, Equitable Investment Management Group, LLC has agreed to make payments or waive its management, administrative and other fees to limit the expenses of certain affiliated Portfolios through April 30, 2025 (“Expense Limitation Arrangement”) (unless the Trust’s Board of Trustees consents to an earlier revision or termination of this agreement). The Expense Limitation Arrangement may be terminated by Equitable Investment Management Group, LLC at any time after April 30, 2025. The Expense Limitation Arrangement does not apply to unaffiliated Portfolios. |
Example
These Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include transaction expenses, annual contract expenses, and annual Portfolio expenses.
These Examples assume that you invest $100,000 in the contract for the time periods indicated. The Examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year and assumes the most expensive combination of annual Portfolio expenses, as well as, the “Greater of” GMDB II death benefit and GMIB II (both at their maximum charge).
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:
