|
Are There Charges for Early Withdrawals?
|
Yes. If you withdraw (or surrender) money from your Policy during the first 10 Policy years, you will be assessed a surrender charge. The maximum surrender charge depends on when your Policy was issued but will not be greater than $90.00 per $1,000 of the Policy's initial specified amount (or increase in specified amount).
For example, if you purchased a Policy with an initial specified amount of $300,000 and were to withdraw $100,000 during the surrender charge period (and assuming that the Policy's specified amount had not been increased), the maximum surrender charge would be $9,000.
|
Introduction
Charges and Deductions
|
||
|
Is there a Cash Withdrawal Charge?
|
Yes. If you withdraw money from your Policy, we will deduct a processing fee equal to $25 or 2% of the amount you withdraw, whichever is less. We deduct this amount from the withdrawal, and we pay you the balance.
|
Introduction
Policy Rights - Surrender Privileges
|
||
|
Are There Transaction Charges?
|
Yes. In addition to surrender charges for early withdrawals, you may also be charged for other transactions. There may be front-end loads on premium payments, charges for transfers between investment options, and administrative charges for withdrawals.
We reserve the right to deduct a charge for special services, including overnight delivery and wire service fees.
|
Introduction
Charges and Deductions
|
||
|
Are There Ongoing Fees and Expenses (annual charges)?
|
Yes. In addition to surrender charges and transaction charges, an investment in the Policy is subject to certain ongoing fees and expenses, including fees and expenses covering the cost of insurance under the Policy and the cost of optional benefits available under the Policy, and that such fees and expenses are set based on characteristics of the insured (e.g., age, sex, and rating classification). You should view the schedule page of your Policy for rates applicable to your Policy.
These fees and expenses do not reflect any advisory fees paid to financial intermediaries from the Policy value or other assets of the Owner; if such charges were reflected, the fees and expenses would be higher.
You will also bear expenses associated with the portfolios under the Policy to which you have allocated cash value, as shown in the following table:

Is There a Risk of Loss From Poor Performance?
|
Yes. You can lose money by investing in this Policy, including loss of principal.
|
Introduction
|
||
|
Is this a Short-Term Investment?
|
No. This Policy is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash.
The Policy is designed to help meet long-term financial objectives by paying a death benefit to family members or other beneficiaries. The benefits of tax deferral also mean the Policy is more beneficial to investors with a long-term investment horizon. You may pay substantial charges if you take withdrawals or fully surrender the Policy during the surrender charge period.

|
How Are Investment Professionals Compensated?
|
Your investment professional may receive compensation for selling this Policy to You, in the form of commissions, additional cash benefits (e.g., bonuses), and non-cash compensation. Our affiliate, Transamerica Capital, LLC ("TCL") (formerly Transamerica Capital, Inc.), the principal underwriter, may share the revenue we earn on this Policy with Your investment professional's firm. In addition, we may pay all or a portion of the cost of affiliates' operating and other expenses.
This conflict of interest may influence Your investment professional to recommend this Policy over another investment for which the investment professional is not compensated or compensated less.

Distribution of the Policies
|
||
|
Should I Exchange My Policy?
|
Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new Policy in place of the one you already own. You should only exchange your Policy if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both Policies, that it is preferable for you to purchase the new Policy rather than continue to own your existing Policy.
