Please keep in mind that the primary reason to purchase a life insurance product is the death benefit. 

Life insurance products contain charges, such as Cost of Insurance Charge, Cash Extra Charge, and Additional Agreements Charge (which we refer to as mortality charges), and Premium Charge, Monthly Policy Charge, Policy Issue Charge, Transaction Charge, Index Segment Charge, and Surrender Charge (which we refer to as expense charges). These charges may increase over time, and these policies may contain restrictions, such as surrender periods. Policyholders could lose money in these products.

Insurance policy guarantees are subject to the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company. 

Additional agreements may be available. Agreements may be subject to additional costs and restrictions. Agreements may not be available in all states or may exist under a different name in various states and may not be available in combination with other agreements.

Surrender of policy during SVEA period will result in proportionate charge-back on financial professional compensation.
