Important disclosures


¹ A portion of the policy’s cash value may be available as a source of supplemental retirement income through policy loans and withdrawals. Income tax free policy distributions may be achieved by policy loans or withdrawing to the cost basis (usually premiums paid). This assumes the policy qualifies as life insurance, is not a modified endowment contract and is not lapsed or surrendered with an outstanding loan. Policy loans and withdrawals may generate an income tax liability, reduce available cash value and reduce the death benefit, or cause the policy to lapse.
