Charges for Early
Withdrawals
If you surrender your policy for its full Cash Surrender Value, or the policy
Lapses, during the first 7 years and for 7 years after requesting an
increase in the Specified Amount, you will incur a Surrender Charge. The
Surrender Charges are set based on various factors such as the Insureds’
Insurance Ages (or Attained Insurance Ages at the time of a requested
increase in the Specified Amount), Risk Classifications and the number of
years the policy has been in force (or for the number of years from the
effective date of an increase in Specified Amount). The maximum initial
Surrender Charge rate that would be charged on any policy would be
$49.500 per $1,000 of initial Specified Amount.  Therefore, if a Full
Surrender occurs on a policy that was issued with a $1,000,000 initial
Specified Amount, the maximum initial Surrender Charge would be
$49,500 which is 49.500 times $1,000,000 divided by 1,000.  This
Surrender Charge for the initial Specified Amount will decrease monthly
until it is zero at the end of the seventh policy year.
The Surrender Charges that apply to your policy are shown under the Policy
Data page of your policy.

Policy Split Option Rider. If you take a loan against the policy, you will be
charged a loan interest rate on any outstanding balance until the loan is
paid off.
Fee Tables
Ongoing Fees and
Expenses (annual
charges)
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 the Accounting Value Increase Rider and the Four-Year Term rider if they
are elected as optional benefits available under the policy. Such fees and
expenses are set based on various factors such as the Insureds’ Risk
Classifications, Issue Ages, genders and the number of years the policy is
in force. You should review the rates, fees and charges under the Policy
Data page of your policy.
You will also bear expenses associated with the Funds offered under the

RISKS
 
Risk of Loss
You can lose money by investing in this policy including loss of principal.
Principal Risks
Not a Short-Term
Investment
The policy is not suitable as a short-term investment and is not appropriate
for an investor who needs ready access to cash.
The policy is a long-term investment that is primarily intended to provide a
death benefit that we pay to the Beneficiary upon the last surviving
Insured’s death.
Your policy has little or no Cash Surrender Value in the early policy years.
During early policy years the Cash Surrender Value may be less than the
premiums you pay for the policy.
Your ability to take Partial Surrenders is limited. You cannot take Partial
Surrenders during the first policy year.
Principal Risks
Risks Associated
with Investment
Options
An investment in the policy is subject to the risk of poor investment
performance and can vary depending on the performance of the
investment options available under the policy. Each investment option
(including the Fixed Account) has its own unique risks. You should review
the investment options before making an investment decision. If the death
benefit is option 2, the death benefit could decrease from the death
benefit on the previous Valuation Date due to adverse investment
experience.
Principal Risks
The Variable
Account and the
Funds
Insurance
Company Risks
An investment in the policy is subject to the risks related to RiverSource
Life Insurance Co. of New York ("RiverSource Life of NY"). Any obligations
(including under the Fixed Account) or guarantees and benefits of the policy
that exceed the assets of the Variable Account are subject to RiverSource
Life of NY’s claims-paying ability. If RiverSource Life of NY experiences
financial distress, RiverSource Life of NY may not be able to meet their
obligations to you. More information about RiverSource Life of NY,

RiverSource Life of NY at 1-800-541-2251.

Principal Risks
The General
Account
Policy Lapse
Insufficient premium payments, fees and expenses, poor investment
performance, full and Partial Surrenders, and unpaid loans or loan interest
may cause the policy to Lapse. There is a cost associated with reinstating
a Lapsed policy. Death benefits will not be paid if the policy has Lapsed.
Your policy may not Lapse if the No Lapse Guarantee is in effect. Also, your
policy enters a grace period before Lapsing, allowing you additional time to
pay the amount required to keep the policy in force.

Selling firms and their sales representatives may have a financial incentive to recommend the policy over another investment.
Exchanges [Text Block] If you already own an insurance policy, some financial representatives may have a financial incentive to offer you a new policy in place of one you already own.

If the death benefit option is option 2, the death benefit could decrease from the death benefit on the previous Valuation Date due to adverse investment experience (but at no time will it be less than the Specified Amount). Your policy could Lapse due to adverse investment experience if the NLG is in not effect and you do not pay the premiums needed to maintain coverage. The Policy is Unsuitable as a Short-term Savings Vehicle. The policy is not suitable as a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. The policy is a long-term investment that provides a death benefit that we pay to the Beneficiary upon the last surviving Insured’s death. Your policy has little or no Cash Surrender Value in the early policy years. Surrender Charges apply to this policy for the first seven years. A new maximum Surrender Charge schedule will apply to any additional Specified Amount for seven years after an increase in Specified Amount. Surrender Charges can significantly reduce Policy Values. During early policy years the Cash Surrender Value may be less than the premiums you pay for the policy. Your ability to take partial surrenders is limited. You cannot take partial surrenders during the first policy year. Risks of Policy Lapse. If you do not pay the premiums needed to maintain coverage: We will not pay a death benefit if your policy Lapses. Also, the Lapse may have adverse tax consequences. (See "Possibility of Adverse Tax Consequences.") Your policy may Lapse due to Surrender Charges. Surrender Charges affect the surrender value, which is a measure we use to determine whether your policy will enter a grace period (and possibly Lapse, which may have adverse tax consequences, see "Possibility of Adverse Tax Consequences."). A partial surrender will reduce the Policy Value and the death benefit and may terminate the NLG. If you take a loan against your policy. Taking a loan increases the risk of: policy Lapse (which may have adverse tax consequences, see "Possibility of Adverse Tax Consequences."); a permanent reduction of Policy Value; reducing the death benefit. Taking a loan may also terminate the NLG. Your policy can Lapse due to poor investment performance. Your policy could Lapse due to adverse investment experience if the NLG is not in effect and you do not pay the premiums needed to maintain coverage. The Lapse may have adverse tax consequences (See "Possibility of Adverse Tax Consequences."). Exchange/Replacement Risk. You exchange or replace another policy to buy this one. You may pay Surrender Charges on the old policy. The new policy has Surrender Charges, which may extend beyond those in the old policy. The new policy’s Surrender Charges may be higher than the Surrender Charges in old policy. You may be subject to new incontestability and suicide periods on the new policy. You may be in a higher insurance risk rating category in the new policy which may increase the cost of the policy. If a partial surrender is taken prior to the exchange, you may have adverse tax consequences. The exchange may have adverse tax consequences. (See "Possibility of Adverse Tax Consequences.") You use cash values or dividends from another policy to buy this one, without fully surrendering the other policy. If you borrow from another policy to buy this one, the loan reduces the death benefit on the other policy. If you fail to repay the loan and accrued interest, you could lose the other coverage and you may be subject to income tax if the policy Lapses or is surrendered with a loan against it. You may have adverse tax consequences. (See "Possibility of Adverse Tax Consequences.") Policy Risk and What It Means (continued)If you surrender cash value from another policy to buy this one, you could lose coverage on the other policy. Also, the surrender may be subject to income tax. You may have adverse tax consequences. (See "Possibility of Adverse Tax Consequences.") Limitations on Access to Cash Value Through Withdrawals. Your ability to take partial surrenders is limited. You cannot take partial surrenders during the first policy year. Possibility of Adverse Tax Consequences. A policy may be classified as a “modified endowment contract” (MEC) for federal income tax purposes when issued. If a policy is not a MEC when issued, excess funding or certain changes you make to the policy may cause it to become a MEC. Any taxable earnings come out first on surrenders or loans from a MEC policy or an assignment or pledge of a MEC policy. Investment in the policy comes out second. Federal income tax on these earnings will apply. State and local income taxes may also apply. If you are under age 59½, a 10% penalty tax may also apply to these earnings. If you exchange or replace another policy to buy this one. If you replace the old policy and it is not part of an exchange under Section 1035 of the Code, there may be adverse tax consequences if the total Policy Value (before reductions for outstanding loans, if any) exceeds your investment in the old policy. If you replace the old policy as part of an exchange under Section 1035 of the Code and there is a loan on the old policy, there may be adverse tax consequences if the total Policy Value (before reductions for the outstanding loan) exceeds your investment in the old policy. The new policy may be or may become a MEC even if the old policy was not a MEC. See discussion under “Modified Endowment Contracts”. The exchange may require a portion of the cash value of the old policy to be distributed in order to qualify the new policy as a life insurance policy for federal tax purposes. If your policy Lapses or is fully surrendered with an outstanding policy loan, you may experience a significant tax cost. You will be taxed on any earnings in the policy. Generally, a policy has earnings to the extent the cash value plus any outstanding loans exceeds the investment in the contract. For non-MEC policies, it could be the case that a policy with a relatively small existing cash value could have significant as yet untaxed earnings that will be taxed upon Lapse or surrender of the policy. For MEC policies, earnings are the remaining earnings (any earnings that have not been previously taxed) in the policy, which could be a significant amount depending on the policy. The investments in the Subaccount are not adequately diversified. If a policy fails to qualify as a life insurance policy because it is not adequately diversified, the policyholder must include in gross income the “income on the contract” (as defined in Section 7702(g) of the Code). Congress may change how a life insurance policy is taxed at any time. The interpretation of current tax law is subject to change by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or the courts at any time. You could lose any or all of the specific federal income tax attributes and benefits of a life insurance policy including tax-deferred accrual of cash values and income tax free death benefits. For non-MEC policies you could lose your ability to take non-taxable distributions or loans from the policy. Typically, changes of this type are prospective only, but some or all of the attributes could be affected. The IRS may determine that you are the Owner of the Fund shares held by our Variable Account. You may be taxed on the income of each Subaccount to the extent of your interest in the Subaccount. Fund Risks. A comprehensive discussion of the risks of each Fund in which the Subaccounts invest may be found in each Fund’s prospectus. Please refer to the prospectuses for the Funds for more information. The investment advisers cannot guarantee that the Funds will meet their investment objectives. Market Risk. Variable life insurance is a complex vehicle that is subject to market risk, including the potential loss of principal invested. You may experience loss in Policy Value due to factors that affect the overall performance of the financial markets.Financial Strength and Claims Paying Ability Risk. All insurance benefits, including the death benefit, and all guarantees, including those related to the Fixed Account, are general account obligations that are subject to the financial strength and claims paying ability of RiverSource of New York. Policy Risk and What It Means (continued)Cyber Security and Systems Integrity. Increasingly, businesses are dependent on the continuity, security, and effective operation of various technology systems. The nature of our business depends on the continued effective operation of our systems and those of our business partners. This dependence makes us susceptible to operational and information security risks from cyber-attacks. These risks may include the following: the corruption or destruction of data; theft, misuse or dissemination of data to the public, including your information we hold; and denial of service attacks on our website or other forms of attacks on our systems and the software and hardware we use to run them. These attacks and their consequences can negatively impact your policy, your privacy, your ability to conduct transactions on your policy, or your ability to receive timely service from us. There can be no assurance that we, the underlying Funds in your policy, or our other business partners will avoid losses affecting your policy due to any successful cyber-attacks or information security breaches. Conflict of Interest Risks Related to Certain Funds Advised by Columbia Management. We are an affiliate of Ameriprise Financial, Inc., which is the parent company of Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (Columbia Management). Columbia Management acts as investment adviser to several Fund of funds, including managed volatility Funds. As such, it retains full discretion over the investment activities and investment decisions of the Funds. These Funds invest in other registered mutual funds. In providing investment advisory services for the Funds and the underlying funds in which those Funds respectively invest, Columbia Management is, together with its affiliates, including us, subject to competing interests that may influence its decisions. These competing interests typically arise because Columbia Management or one of its affiliates serves as the investment adviser to the underlying Funds and may provide other services in connection with such underlying Funds, and because the compensation we and our affiliates receive for providing these investment advisory and other services varies depending on the underlying Fund. Managed Volatility Funds’ Risks. Managed volatility Funds employ a strategy designed to reduce overall volatility and downside risk. These Funds may also be used in conjunction with guaranteed living benefit riders we offer with various annuity contracts. Conflicts may arise because the manner in which these Funds and their strategies are executed by Columbia Management are expected to benefit us by reducing our financial risk and expense in offering guaranteed living benefit riders. Managed volatility Funds employ a strategy to reduce overall volatility and downside risk when markets are declining and market volatility is high. A successful strategy may result in less gain in your Policy Value during rising markets with higher volatility when compared to Funds not employing a managed volatility strategy. Although an investment in the managed volatility Funds may mitigate declines in your Policy Value due to declining equity markets, the Funds’ investment strategies may also curb or decrease your Policy Value during periods of positive performance by the equity markets. There is no guarantee that any of the Funds’ strategies will be successful. Costs associated with running a managed volatility strategy may also adversely impact the performance of managed volatility Funds.
Item 10. Standard Death Benefits (N-6) [Table Text Block] Proceeds Payable Upon Death If the Insured dies while the policy is in force, we will pay a benefit to the Beneficiary of the policy when the last surviving Insured dies. The amount payable is the death benefit amount minus any Indebtedness as of the Death Benefit Valuation Date. Option 1 (level amount): Under the Option 1 death benefit, if death is prior to the youngest Insured’s Attained Insurance Age 120, the death benefit amount is the greater of the following as determined on the Death Benefit Valuation Date: the Specified Amount; or a percentage of the Policy Value. The percentage is designed to ensure that the policy meets the provisions of federal tax law, which require a minimum death benefit in relation to Policy Value for your policy to qualify as life insurance.Option 2 (variable amount): Under the Option 2 death benefit, if death is prior to the youngest Insured’s Attained Insurance Age 120, the death benefit amount is the greater of the following as determined on the Death Benefit Valuation Date: the Policy Value plus the Specified Amount; or a percentage of Policy Value. The percentage is designed to ensure that the policy meets the provisions of federal tax law, which require a minimum death benefit in relation to Policy Value for your policy to qualify as life insurance.Option 3 (return of premium, subject to a limit): Under the Option 3 death benefit, if death is prior to or on the youngest Insured’s Attained Insurance Age 120, the death benefit amount is the greater of the following as determined on the Death Benefit Valuation Date: 1.the lesser of: the Specified Amount plus premiums paid, less Partial Surrenders and any Partial Surrender fees; or the Death Benefit Option 3 Limit shown under Policy Data; or 2.a percentage of the Policy Value. The percentage is designed to ensure the policy meets the provisions of federal tax law, which require a minimum death benefit in relation to the Policy Value for your policy to qualify as life insurance.

If you want to have premium payments reflected in the form of an increasing death benefit, subject to a limit, you should consider Option 3. If you want your death benefit to include the policy Specified Amount and Policy Value, you should consider Option 2. If you are satisfied with the Specified Amount of insurance protection and prefer to have premium payments and favorable investment performance reflected to the maximum extent in the Policy Value, you should consider Option 1. Under Option 1, the cost of insurance is lower because our Net Amount at Risk is generally lower; for this reason, the monthly deduction is less and a larger portion of your premiums and investment returns is retained in the Policy Value.Under all death benefit options, if death is on or after the youngest Insured’s Attained Insurance Age 120 Policy Anniversary, the death benefit amount will be the greater of: the death benefit on the youngest Insured’s Attained Insurance Age 120 anniversary, minus any partial surrenders and partial surrender fees occurring after the youngest Insured’s Attained Insurance Age 120 anniversary; or the Policy Value on the date of death of the last surviving Insured. Change in Death Benefit Option Prior to the youngest Insured’s Attained Insurance Age 120 anniversary, you may make a written request to change the death benefit option once per policy year. A change in the death benefit option also will change the Specified Amount. You do not need to provide additional evidence of insurability. If you change from Option 1 to Option 2: The Specified Amount will decrease by an amount equal to the Policy Value on the effective date of the change. You cannot change from Option 1 to Option 2 if the resulting Specified Amount would fall below the minimum amount shown in the policy. If you change from Option 2 to Option 1: The Specified Amount will increase by an amount equal to the Policy Value on the effective date of the change. If you change from Option 3 to Option 1: The Specified Amount will be the Option 3 death benefit on the effective date of the change. You may not change from Option 1 or Option 2 to Option 3, or from Option 3 to Option 2. An increase or decrease in Specified Amount resulting from a change in the death benefit option will affect the following: Monthly deduction because the cost of insurance charges depends upon the Specified Amount. Charges for the optional Four-Year Term Insurance rider will decrease if the death benefit option change results in a decrease in the rider Specified Amount. The Surrender Charge will not be affected. We reserve the right to decline to make any death benefit option change that we determine would cause the policy to fail to qualify as life insurance under applicable tax laws.Changes in Specified Amount Subject to certain limitations, you may make a written request to increase or decrease the Specified Amount.Increases: If you increase the Specified Amount, we may require additional evidence of insurability that is satisfactory to us. The effective date of the increase will be the monthly anniversary on or next following our approval of the increase. The increase may not be less than $10,000 and we will not permit an increase after the youngest Insured’s Attained Insurance Age 85. We will have two years from the effective date of an increase in Specified Amount to contest the truth of statements or representations in the application for the increase in Specified Amount. If the last surviving Insured commits suicide within two years from the effective date of any increase in Specified Amount which requires proof of insurability, the amount payable by us with respect to the increased coverage will be limited to the monthly deductions for such additional Specified Amount. An increase in the Specified Amount will have the following effect on policy costs: Your monthly deduction will increase because the cost of insurance charge depends upon the Specified Amount. The NLG premiums will increase. The administrative charge will increase. The Surrender Charge will increase. A new schedule of Surrender Charges will apply to the amount of any increase in the Specified Amount. At the time of the increase in Specified Amount, the Cash Surrender Value of your policy must be sufficient to pay the monthly deduction on the next Monthly Date. The increased Surrender Charge will reduce the Cash Surrender Value. If the remaining Cash Surrender Value is not sufficient to cover the monthly deduction, we will require you to pay additional premiums within the 61-day grace period. If you do not, the policy will Lapse unless the NLG is in effect. Decreases: After the first policy year, you may decrease the Specified Amount subject to all of the following limitations: Only one decrease per policy year is allowed. We reserve the right to limit any decrease to the extent necessary to qualify the policy as life insurance under the Code. After the decrease, the Specified Amount may not be less than the minimum amount shown in the policy. The minimum amounts shown in the policy are: In policy years 2-5, the Specified Amount remaining after the decrease may not be less than 75% of the initial Specified Amount. In policy years 6-10, the Specified Amount remaining after the decrease may not be less than 50% of the initial Specified Amount. In policy years 11-15, the Specified Amount remaining after the decrease may not be less than 25% of the initial Specified Amount. In policy years 16+, the Specified Amount remaining after the decrease must be at least $1,000. The effective date of any decrease in Specified Amount is the Monthly Date on or next following the date we receive your request. No Surrender Charge is imposed when you request a decrease in the Specified Amount. Each increase in Specified Amount is treated as a new policy for purposes of applying the limitations on decreases. Thus, the first policy year for an increase is measured from the effective date of the increase. Example This example assumes an initial Specified Amount of $100,000. In policy year 6, you increase the initial Specified Amount by $100,000. The current Specified Amount after this increase is $200,000. In policy year 10 (and 4 policy years after the effective date of the increase), you request a $125,000 decrease in the current Specified Amount. The maximum decrease permitted under these assumptions is limited to $75,000, and the Specified Amount after this decrease is $125,000, computed as follows:
Maximum reduction in initial Specified Amount in policy year 10:
$100,000 X .50 =
$50,000
Maximum reduction in increase in Specified Amount during the fourth policy year of
increase:
$100,000 X .25 =
+25,000
Maximum permitted reduction in current Specified Amount:
 
$75,000
Current Specified Amount before reduction:
 
$200,000
Minus maximum permitted reduction in current Specified Amount:
 
–75,000
Specified Amount after reduction
 
$125,000
A decrease in Specified Amount will affect your costs as follows: Your monthly deduction will decrease because the cost of insurance charge depends upon the Specified Amount. Charges for the optional Four-Year Term Insurance rider will decrease if the decrease in the policy Specified Amount results in a decrease in the rider Specified Amount. The NLG premiums will decrease. The administrative charge will not change. The Surrender Charge will not change. We will deduct decreases in the Specified Amount from the current Specified Amount in this order: First from the initial Specified Amount when the policy was issued, and Then from the increases successively following the initial Specified Amount. This procedure may affect the cost of insurance if we have applied different Risk Classifications to the current Specified Amount. Misstatement of Age or Sex If either Insured’s age or sex has been misstated, the Proceeds payable upon death will be: the Policy Value on the date of death; plus the amount of insurance that would have been purchased by the cost of insurance deducted for the policy month during which death occurred, if that cost had been calculated using rates for the correct age and sex; minus the amount of any outstanding Indebtedness on the date of death.Suicide In the event of suicide by the last surviving Insured, whether sane or insane within two years from the Policy Date, the only amount payable by us will be the premiums paid, minus any Indebtedness and partial surrenders. If the last surviving Insured commits suicide, whether sane or insane within two years, or any shorter period as may be required by applicable law, from the effective date of any increase in Specified Amount or any rider attached to the policy, then the amount payable will be limited to the monthly deductions for such additional Specified Amount or rider.Beneficiary Initially, the Beneficiary will be the person you designate in your application for the policy. You may change the Beneficiary by giving us written notice, subject to requirements and restrictions stated in the policy. If you do not designate a Beneficiary, or if the designated Beneficiary dies before the last surviving Insured, the Beneficiary will be you, if living. If you are not living, the Beneficiary will be your estate.
Additional Information about Standard Death Benefits, Note (N-6) [Text Block] Change in Death Benefit Option Prior to the youngest Insured’s Attained Insurance Age 120 anniversary, you may make a written request to change the death benefit option once per policy year. A change in the death benefit option also will change the Specified Amount. You do not need to provide additional evidence of insurability. If you change from Option 1 to Option 2: The Specified Amount will decrease by an amount equal to the Policy Value on the effective date of the change. You cannot change from Option 1 to Option 2 if the resulting Specified Amount would fall below the minimum amount shown in the policy. If you change from Option 2 to Option 1: The Specified Amount will increase by an amount equal to the Policy Value on the effective date of the change. If you change from Option 3 to Option 1: The Specified Amount will be the Option 3 death benefit on the effective date of the change. You may not change from Option 1 or Option 2 to Option 3, or from Option 3 to Option 2. An increase or decrease in Specified Amount resulting from a change in the death benefit option will affect the following: Monthly deduction because the cost of insurance charges depends upon the Specified Amount. Charges for the optional Four-Year Term Insurance rider will decrease if the death benefit option change results in a decrease in the rider Specified Amount. The Surrender Charge will not be affected. We reserve the right to decline to make any death benefit option change that we determine would cause the policy to fail to qualify as life insurance under applicable tax laws.Changes in Specified Amount Subject to certain limitations, you may make a written request to increase or decrease the Specified Amount.Increases: If you increase the Specified Amount, we may require additional evidence of insurability that is satisfactory to us.

At the time of the increase in Specified Amount, the Cash Surrender Value of your policy must be sufficient to pay the monthly deduction on the next Monthly Date. The increased Surrender Charge will reduce the Cash Surrender Value. If the remaining Cash Surrender Value is not sufficient to cover the monthly deduction, we will require you to pay additional premiums within the 61-day grace period. If you do not, the policy will Lapse unless the NLG is in effect.

Charges and Contract Values, Note (N-6) [Text Block] If you want to have premium payments reflected in the form of an increasing death benefit, subject to a limit, you should consider Option 3. If you want your death benefit to include the policy Specified Amount and Policy Value, you should consider Option 2. If you are satisfied with the Specified Amount of insurance protection and prefer to have premium payments and favorable investment performance reflected to the maximum extent in the Policy Value, you should consider Option 1. Under Option 1, the cost of insurance is lower because our Net Amount at Risk is generally lower; for this reason, the monthly deduction is less and a larger portion of your premiums and investment returns is retained in the Policy Value.Under all death benefit options, if death is on or after the youngest Insured’s Attained Insurance Age 120 Policy Anniversary, the death benefit amount will be the greater of: the death benefit on the youngest Insured’s Attained Insurance Age 120 anniversary, minus any partial surrenders and partial surrender fees occurring after the youngest Insured’s Attained Insurance Age 120 anniversary; or the Policy Value on the date of death of the last surviving Insured.

Averaging
(SDCA)
An SDCA arrangement is an automated
transfer arrangement designed to help
you benefit from fluctuations in
Accumulation Unit values caused by
fluctuations in the market values of the
underlying Funds. Under an SDCA
arrangement, Net Premiums and/or
Policy Value is allocated to the SDCA
portion of the Fixed Account. These
amounts are then subsequently
transferred, on a monthly basis and over
a 12-month period, to accounts
according to the premium allocation
currently in effect at the time of each
transfer. The potential effect of this
option is that it may allow you to lower
your average cost per unit. There is no
charge for SDCA.
Standard
The Fixed Account is the source of
funds.
• The minimum SDCA transfer amount
is $50.
• If an SDCA transfer amount is
allocated to one or more
Subaccounts, you may not make a
transfer from those Subaccounts
back to the Fixed Account until the
next Policy Anniversary.
Asset
Rebalancing
The asset rebalancing feature
automatically transfers Policy Value
between Subaccounts at set intervals
(i.e. monthly, quarterly, etc.) to
correspond to your chosen allocation
percentages among Subaccounts.
Standard
The Policy Value reallocated must be
at least $2,000 at the time the asset
rebalancing is set up.
• Asset rebalancing does not apply to
Policy Value in the Fixed Accounts.
• Asset rebalancing must occur
quarterly, semiannually or annually.
• You must allow 30 days for us to
change any asset rebalancing
instructions that currently are in
place.
Additional Information About Optional Benefits When you purchase your policy, you may add any available optional benefits to your policy in the form of riders for an additional charge (unless otherwise noted). Four-Year Term Insurance Rider (FYT): The four-year term insurance rider provides a pre-specified death benefit to the Beneficiary if the last surviving Insured dies during the first four years of the policy. The rider automatically terminates on the policy’s four-year Policy Anniversary. The purpose of this rider is to cover the additional estate taxes that could become due if the policy is transferred to an irrevocable trust or to a third party within three years of purchase. The rider is not available if either Insured is older than age 85, would not be eligible for an individual life insurance product, or has a life expectancy of less than one year. The minimum rider death benefit available is $50,000. The maximum rider death benefit available is 1.22 times the sum of the base policy Specified Amount. The rider Specified Amount can be decreased (not below $50,000) once per year or dropped from the policy after issue, but the rider amount cannot be increased or a rider added once the policy has been issued. If the base policy Specified Amount is decreased at any time, or a change in death benefit option from 1 to 2 is made where the base policy Specified Amount is reduced, the rider Specified Amount will also be decreased so that it does not exceed 1.22 times the base policy Specified Amount. If a change in death benefit option 2 to 1 is made, and the base policy Specified Amount is increased, the rider Specified Amount will not be increased. If the PSO is exercised, the FYT will terminate. The FYT cannot be split or carried over to the new policies. The FYT will terminate on the earliest of the following: 1.The month and date on or next following receipt of your written request for coverage to end; or 2.The four-year Policy Anniversary, as shown under Policy Data; or 3.The date the policy terminates. Example: John and Jane Doe purchase a base policy with a $1,500,000 Specified Amount, death benefit option 1, and the Four-Year Term Insurance Rider (FYT) with a rider Specified Amount of $1,830,000, the maximum rider specified amount that can be purchased. If the last surviving Insured passes away prior to the end of the fourth policy year, the Proceeds payable will be $3,330,000 which is the sum of the base policy Specified Amount ($1,500,000) and the FYT Specified Amount ($1,830,000). If the last surviving Insured passes away in the fifth policy year or later, the Proceeds payable will be $1,500,000 which is the base policy Specified Amount. Policy Split Option Rider (PSO): The policy split option provides for the split of the policy into two individual plans of insurance, one on the life of each Insured, upon the occurrence of any of the following events: 1.divorce of the Insureds; or 2.the federal tax law is changed resulting in removal of the unlimited marital deduction or reduces by at least 50% the level of the estate taxes payable on death; or 3.there is a dissolution of a business partnership between the Insureds; or 4.there is a dissolution of a business conducted or owned by the Insureds. Both Insureds must be living at the time of the policy split. The policy split must be exercised no sooner than six months after a divorce and no later than one year after the divorce; within one year after an estate tax law change; or within six months of the dissolution of the business or partnership. If the split is exercised, the initial Specified Amount on each new policy will be 50% of the Specified Amount of the split policy, minus 50% of any Indebtedness. The new policies will be individual permanent life insurance products we are issuing at the time of the split. The Policy Value minus any Indebtedness will be split equally and applied as premium payments on the new policies. Both the Surrender Charges on the split policy and any premium expense charges on the new policies will be waived resulting in the total Policy Value less Indebtedness on the new policies to be the same as the Policy Value less indebtedness of the split policy. The new policies’ rates will be based on each Insured’s Attained Insurance Age and the Insureds’ Risk Classifications in the old policies. If the new policies are variable life insurance policies, the value of the new policies will be calculated using the Funds’ current net asset value. The total Policy Value less Indebtedness of the new policies will be the same as the Policy Value less indebtedness of the split policy. The PSO automatically terminates at the oldest Insured’s Attained Insurance Age 80. The PSO may terminate earlier at the request of the policy owner, death of one of the Insureds, or when the policy is split. Example: Jane and John Doe are married and purchase a base policy with a $1,500,000 Specified Amount and the Policy Split Option Rider (PSO). Both are Insurance Age 55. Jane qualifies for the super preferred non-tobacco risk class and John qualifies for the standard non-tobacco risk class. At the beginning of the 11th policy year, when John and Jane are both Attained Insurance Age 65, a final divorce decree is issued by a court. Seven months later, Jane and John exercise the PSO rider. Upon exercise, the $160,000 Policy Value of the current policy will be reduced by the $250 rider exercise charge which results in a final Policy Value of $159,750. Both John and Jane will each receive an individual permanent life insurance policy then offered by us with a $750,000 Specified Amount which is the Specified Amount of the current policy divided by two. Both will be Insurance Age 65 and retain the risk class as under the current policy. A premium of $79,875, which is the final Policy Value of the current policy divided by two, will be applied to each of the new individual policies and any premium expense charge on the new policies will be waived. Accounting Value Increase Rider (AVIR): If the policy is fully surrendered while the rider is in force and prior to the expiration of the rider at the end of the eighth policy year, we will waive a portion of the Surrender Charge. The percentage waived is set at issue and applies to all AVIRs. The percentage waived is shown in the table below. Please note the following about AVIR: The amount waived is a percentage of the Surrender Charge that would apply to the initial Specified Amount. The waiver does not apply to any Surrender Charge due to increases in Specified Amount, or to Partial Surrenders. Surrender Charges will not be waived if the policy is being surrendered in exchange for a new insurance policy or contract. During the surrender charge period of the policy, the percentage waived at Full Surrender is shown below:

Example: John and Jane Doe purchase a base policy with a $1,500,000 Specified Amount and the Accounting Value Increase Rider (AVIR). John and Jane decide to do a Full Surrender in the sixth policy year when the Policy Value is $160,000 and the Surrender Charge is $28,000. Due to the AVIR, instead of paying the Surrender Charge of $28,000, we will waive 65%, or $18,200, resulting in an actual Surrender Charge of $9,800. Therefore, the final Proceeds payable upon Full Surrender would be $150,200 which is the $160,000 Policy Value minus the actual Surrender Charge of $9,800. Paid Up Insurance Option: You may request that we use the Cash Surrender Value of the policy to purchase an amount of paid-up insurance prior to the youngest Insured’s Attained Insurance Age 120. You may make your request in writing during the 30 days before any Policy Anniversary. The paid-up insurance policy will take effect as of the Policy Anniversary. You will forfeit all rights to make future premium payments and all riders will terminate. The amount and Cash Surrender Value of the paid-up insurance policy will be based on the cost of insurance rates guaranteed in the policy and on the Fixed Account guaranteed interest rate. The paid-up insurance policy’s death benefit amount, minus its Cash Surrender Value, cannot be greater than your current policy’s death benefit, minus its Policy Value (both as of the date of the paid-up insurance policy’s purchase). The amount of paid-up insurance will remain level and will not be less than required by law. Any Cash Surrender Value that is not used to purchase the paid-up insurance amount will be paid to you. At any time before the last surviving Insured’s death, you may surrender the paid-up insurance for its Cash Surrender Value. Additional Information About Standard Benefits (Other than Standard Death Benefits) In addition to the standard death benefits, other standard benefits are included with your policy at no additional cost, as described further below. Automated Transfers: You can arrange to have Policy Value transferred from one account to another automatically. Only one automated transfer arrangement can be in effect at any time. You can transfer all or part of the value of a Subaccount to one or more of the other Subaccounts and/or to the Fixed Account. You can transfer all or part of the Fixed Account Value, minus Indebtedness, to one or more of the Subaccounts. Only one account can be used as the source of funds for any automated transfer arrangement. If the Fixed Account is the source of funds for the arrangement, you cannot set up an automated transfer amount that would deplete the Fixed Account in less than 12 months. The minimum automated transfer amount is $50. On the date of a transfer, if the Policy Value in the source of funds account is less than the amount to be transferred under the arrangement, the transfer will not be processed. If you made a transfer from the Fixed Account to one or more Subaccounts, you may not make a transfer from those Subaccounts back to the Fixed Account until the next Policy Anniversary. You may make automated transfers by choosing a schedule we provide. You must allow seven days for us to change any automated transfer arrangement instructions that are currently in place. The example below illustrates how an automated transfer arrangement works. John and Jane Doe purchase a base policy. They make a one-time premium payment at issue of $120,000 and allocate it all to the Fixed Account. They set up an automated transfer arrangement to transfer $10,000 a month from the Fixed Account equally into two Subaccounts over a 12-month period. The following shows the transaction that will automatically take place each of the next 12 months.

Dollar-Cost Averaging: Dollar-cost averaging involves investing a fixed amount at regular intervals. For example, you might have a set amount transferred monthly from a relatively conservative Subaccount to a more aggressive one, or to several others. This systematic approach can help you benefit from fluctuations in Accumulation Unit values caused by fluctuations in the market values of the underlying Fund. Since you invest the same amount each period, you automatically acquire more units when the market value falls, fewer units when it rises. The potential effect is to lower your average cost per unit. There is no charge for dollar-cost averaging. Example:
By investing an equal number
of dollars each month…

You have paid an average price of only $17.91 per unit over the ten months, while the average market price actually was $18.10. Dollar-cost averaging does not guarantee that any Subaccount will gain in value, nor will it protect against a decline in value if market prices fall. Because this strategy involves continuous investing, your success with dollar-cost averaging will depend upon your willingness to continue to invest regularly through periods of low price levels. Special Dollar-Cost Averaging (SDCA): Under an SDCA arrangement, you may allocate SDCA allocations to the SDCA portion of the Fixed Account. SDCA allocations will be transferred out over a period of time, currently 12 months. SDCA transfers will automatically occur monthly on each Monthly Date anytime there is value in the SDCA portion of the Fixed Account. SDCA transfers will be allocated to Subaccounts or the non-SDCA portion of the Fixed Account according to the premium allocation in effect at the time of each transfer. You may cancel an SDCA arrangement at any time by transferring the remaining value allocated to the SDCA arrangement to any other account. Any Fixed Account transfer rules will apply to such transfers. We reserve the right to discontinue the ability to allocate additional amounts to the SDCA arrangement. If this occurs, SDCA transfers will continue as described for any previous SDCA allocations that are already part of an SDCA arrangement. We also reserve the right to make another account available as the account to which SDCA allocations are allocated to and/or offer additional transfer periods (e.g. 6-months or 9-months). An SDCA arrangement does not guarantee that any Subaccount or other Policy Value will gain in value, nor will it protect against a decline in Policy Value if market prices fall. Because this strategy involves continuous investing, your success with SDCA will depend upon your willingness to continue to invest regularly through periods of low-price levels. For further information regarding SDCA, see “Special Dollar-Cost Averaging”. Asset Rebalancing: Subject to availability, you can set up an asset rebalancing arrangement to reallocate the variable Subaccount portion of your Policy Value according to the percentages (in whole percentage amounts) that you choose. The Policy Value must be at least $2,000 at the time the arrangement is set up. Asset rebalancing does not apply to the Fixed Account. We automatically will rebalance the variable Subaccount portion of your Policy Value quarterly, semiannually or annually. The period you select will start to run on the date you specify. On the first Valuation Date of each of these periods, we automatically will rebalance your Policy Value so that the value in each Subaccount matches your current Subaccount percentage allocations. We rebalance by transferring Policy Value between Subaccounts. You can change your percentage allocations or your rebalancing period at any time. We will restart the rebalancing period you selected as of the date you specify. You may discontinue the asset rebalancing arrangement at any time. There is no charge for asset rebalancing. Example: John and Jane Doe purchase a base policy and request quarterly automatic asset rebalancing. The following shows what transactions will take place on a quarterly asset rebalancing date to reallocate the $200,000 value in the Subaccounts according to the chosen Subaccount percentage allocations.

Overloan Protection Benefit (OPB). The overloan protection benefit prevents the policy from Lapsing due to the loan balance exceeding Policy Value. The OPB is included with new policies. The feature may be exercised by the policy Owner when all of the following conditions are met: The policy has been in force for at least 15 years; and The youngest Insured’s Attained Insurance Age is at least 75 but not greater than 95; and Policy Indebtedness must be greater than the Specified Amount and greater than or equal to the Indebtedness percentage shown under Policy Data; and The Cash Surrender Value is sufficient to pay the exercise charge; and The death benefit option in effect is option 1; and The policy has not yet entered the grace period; and The policy is not a modified endowment contract, as defined by Section 7702A of the Internal Revenue Code, and exercising the benefit does not cause the policy to become a modified endowment contract; and No current or future distributions will be required from the policy to maintain its qualification for treatment as a life insurance policy under the Internal Revenue Code; and The sum of Partial Surrenders taken to date are greater than or equal to the amount that can be withdrawn from the policy without creating adverse tax consequences. If all of the above conditions have been met, the policy owner may submit a written request to exercise the benefit to prevent the policy from entering the grace period. The benefit will become effective on the next monthly anniversary following receipt of request. Exercising the benefit is irrevocable. A one-time charge to exercise the benefit will be deducted from Policy Value. The charge is a percentage of the Policy Value that will not exceed the maximum exercise charge of 3%. Once the OPB has been exercised, the following changes to the base policy will occur: 1.The policy becomes a paid-up life insurance policy and no additional premium payments will be required, nor will any premium payments be accepted; however, loan repayments will be accepted. 2.Monthly deductions will no longer be taken. 3.Partial Surrenders will no longer be available. 4.Additional loans will no longer be available. 5.Any outstanding loan will remain and interest will be charged at the current loan interest rate as shown under Policy Data. 6.The NLG will no longer be in effect and cannot be reinstated. 7.The death benefit option cannot be changed. 8.Changes to the Specified Amount will no longer be allowed. 9.Any riders attached to the policy will terminate. Once the benefit has been exercised, the death benefit will be the applicable percentage from the Death Benefit Percentage Table as shown under Policy Data, multiplied by Policy Value or Indebtedness, whichever is greater. At the time of the exercise, this means the Death Benefit will decrease by as much as the one-time OPB exercise charge, which is currently 3%, multiplied by applicable percentage from the Death Benefit Percentage Table as shown under Policy Data. This may result in a significant reduction in the Proceeds payable upon death of the last surviving Insured. The OPB will terminate upon termination of the policy. If the policy terminates and is later reinstated, the OPB will also be reinstated with the policy. When the OPB is available to exercise, a notification will be sent to the policy owner. Once the benefit is exercised, a notification listing the changes to the policy will be sent to the policy owner. Example: John and Jane Doe purchase a base policy with a $1,500,000 Specified Amount, death benefit option 1, and the Overloan Protection Benefit (OPB). At the beginning of the 26th policy year: Both John and Jane are Attained Insurance Age 80. Premiums paid to date equal $700,000. Partial Surrenders and Partial Surrender Charges amounting to $700,000 have been taken. the current Specified Amount is $800,000 (the initial Specified Amount minus the Partial Surrenders and Partial Surrender Charges to date). The Policy Value is $850,000. There is outstanding Indebtedness equal to $820,000. The death benefit is 892,500 which is the greater of the Specified Amount and the Policy Value times 1.05 which is the applicable percentage for the Death Benefit Percentage Table. The Proceeds payable upon death of the last surviving Insured at this point in time would be $72,500 which is the death benefit of $892,500 minus the outstanding Indebtedness of $820,000. At this point, John and Jane decide to exercise their OPB to prevent the policy from lapsing. The exercise of the OPB will result in the following: No more premium payments are required, nor will premium payments be accepted. The policy will be assessed a one-time OPB exercise charge of $25,500 resulting in an updated Policy Value of $824,500. Outstanding Indebtedness remains at $820,000. Loan repayments will still be accepted. The new death benefit immediately after the exercise will be $865,725 which is the greater of the updated Policy Value or outstanding Indebtedness times 1.05. The Proceeds payable upon death of the last surviving Insured would now be $45,725 which is the new death benefit of $865,725 minus the outstanding Indebtedness of $820,000. Exchange for a Fixed Benefit Policy. For two years after the policy is issued, we may allow you to exchange your policy for a life insurance policy with benefits that do not vary with the investment experience of the Subaccounts (“Fixed Benefit Policy”). This is accomplished by a transfer of all of the value in the Subaccounts to the Fixed Account without charge. The rules for transferring from the Subaccounts to the Fixed Account following a Fixed Account to Subaccount transfer will be waived only once. Depending on the timing and the individual circumstances surrounding the exchange, the Fixed Benefit Policy will be on the life of the same Insureds and at the time of the exchange will have the same Policy Date and issue ages and a death benefit at least as great as the initial death benefit of your policy (assuming no decrease in Specified Amount prior to the exchange). The exchange may be subject to an equitable cash adjustment, which will recognize the investment performance of the policy through the effective date of the exchange. An exchange will be effective when we receive a written request in Good Order. Example: John Doe lives in California and is the Owner and Insured of a variable universal life insurance policy. Twelve months after the policy is issued, John decides he would rather own a policy that is not subject to the investment experience of the Funds in which the Variable Account divisions that support his policy invest, and would rather own a policy that earns a fixed rate of interest. Subject to the company’s requirements, John has up to twelve more months to exchange his variable policy for a Fixed Benefit Policy without the company requiring evidence of insurability. Changes to the Policies We reserve the right to do any of the following: make any changes necessary to maintain the status of the policy as life insurance under the Code; make other changes required under federal or state law relating to life insurance; suspend or discontinue sale of the policies; and comply with applicable law. We will give you any required notice and receive any regulatory approval before we make any of these changes.

RVS Survivorship VUL NY | Exchange Replacement Risk  
Item 2. Key Information [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Exchange/Replacement Risk. You exchange or replace another policy to buy this one. You may pay Surrender Charges on the old policy. The new policy has Surrender Charges, which may extend beyond those in the old policy. The new policy’s Surrender Charges may be higher than the Surrender Charges in old policy. You may be subject to new incontestability and suicide periods on the new policy. You may be in a higher insurance risk rating category in the new policy which may increase the cost of the policy. If a partial surrender is taken prior to the exchange, you may have adverse tax consequences. The exchange may have adverse tax consequences. (See "Possibility of Adverse Tax Consequences.") You use cash values or dividends from another policy to buy this one, without fully surrendering the other policy. If you borrow from another policy to buy this one, the loan reduces the death benefit on the other policy. If you fail to repay the loan and accrued interest, you could lose the other coverage and you may be subject to income tax if the policy Lapses or is surrendered with a loan against it. You may have adverse tax consequences. (See "Possibility of Adverse Tax Consequences.") Policy Risk and What It Means (continued)If you surrender cash value from another policy to buy this one, you could lose coverage on the other policy. Also, the surrender may be subject to income tax. You may have adverse tax consequences. (See "Possibility of Adverse Tax Consequences.")
RVS Survivorship VUL NY | Limitations on Access to Cash Value Through Withdrawals  
Item 2. Key Information [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Limitations on Access to Cash Value Through Withdrawals. Your ability to take partial surrenders is limited. You cannot take partial surrenders during the first policy year.
RVS Survivorship VUL NY | Potential Adverse Tax Consequences  
Item 2. Key Information [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Possibility of Adverse Tax Consequences. A policy may be classified as a “modified endowment contract” (MEC) for federal income tax purposes when issued. If a policy is not a MEC when issued, excess funding or certain changes you make to the policy may cause it to become a MEC. Any taxable earnings come out first on surrenders or loans from a MEC policy or an assignment or pledge of a MEC policy. Investment in the policy comes out second. Federal income tax on these earnings will apply. State and local income taxes may also apply. If you are under age 59½, a 10% penalty tax may also apply to these earnings. If you exchange or replace another policy to buy this one. If you replace the old policy and it is not part of an exchange under Section 1035 of the Code, there may be adverse tax consequences if the total Policy Value (before reductions for outstanding loans, if any) exceeds your investment in the old policy. If you replace the old policy as part of an exchange under Section 1035 of the Code and there is a loan on the old policy, there may be adverse tax consequences if the total Policy Value (before reductions for the outstanding loan) exceeds your investment in the old policy. The new policy may be or may become a MEC even if the old policy was not a MEC. See discussion under “Modified Endowment Contracts”. The exchange may require a portion of the cash value of the old policy to be distributed in order to qualify the new policy as a life insurance policy for federal tax purposes. If your policy Lapses or is fully surrendered with an outstanding policy loan, you may experience a significant tax cost. You will be taxed on any earnings in the policy. Generally, a policy has earnings to the extent the cash value plus any outstanding loans exceeds the investment in the contract. For non-MEC policies, it could be the case that a policy with a relatively small existing cash value could have significant as yet untaxed earnings that will be taxed upon Lapse or surrender of the policy. For MEC policies, earnings are the remaining earnings (any earnings that have not been previously taxed) in the policy, which could be a significant amount depending on the policy. The investments in the Subaccount are not adequately diversified. If a policy fails to qualify as a life insurance policy because it is not adequately diversified, the policyholder must include in gross income the “income on the contract” (as defined in Section 7702(g) of the Code). Congress may change how a life insurance policy is taxed at any time. The interpretation of current tax law is subject to change by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or the courts at any time. You could lose any or all of the specific federal income tax attributes and benefits of a life insurance policy including tax-deferred accrual of cash values and income tax free death benefits. For non-MEC policies you could lose your ability to take non-taxable distributions or loans from the policy. Typically, changes of this type are prospective only, but some or all of the attributes could be affected. The IRS may determine that you are the Owner of the Fund shares held by our Variable Account. You may be taxed on the income of each Subaccount to the extent of your interest in the Subaccount.

RVS Survivorship VUL NY | Cyber Security and Systems Integrity  
Item 2. Key Information [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Cyber Security and Systems Integrity. Increasingly, businesses are dependent on the continuity, security, and effective operation of various technology systems. The nature of our business depends on the continued effective operation of our systems and those of our business partners. This dependence makes us susceptible to operational and information security risks from cyber-attacks. These risks may include the following: the corruption or destruction of data; theft, misuse or dissemination of data to the public, including your information we hold; and denial of service attacks on our website or other forms of attacks on our systems and the software and hardware we use to run them. These attacks and their consequences can negatively impact your policy, your privacy, your ability to conduct transactions on your policy, or your ability to receive timely service from us.

RVS Survivorship VUL NY | Conflict of Interest Risks Related to Certain Funds Advised by Columbia Management  
Item 2. Key Information [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Conflict of Interest Risks Related to Certain Funds Advised by Columbia Management. We are an affiliate of Ameriprise Financial, Inc., which is the parent company of Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (Columbia Management). Columbia Management acts as investment adviser to several Fund of funds, including managed volatility Funds. As such, it retains full discretion over the investment activities and investment decisions of the Funds. These Funds invest in other registered mutual funds. In providing investment advisory services for the Funds and the underlying funds in which those Funds respectively invest, Columbia Management is, together with its affiliates, including us, subject to competing interests that may influence its decisions. These competing interests typically arise because Columbia Management or one of its affiliates serves as the investment adviser to the underlying Funds and may provide other services in connection with such underlying Funds, and because the compensation we and our affiliates receive for providing these investment advisory and other services varies depending on the underlying Fund.
RVS Survivorship VUL NY | Managed Volatility Fund Risk  
Item 2. Key Information [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Managed Volatility Funds’ Risks. Managed volatility Funds employ a strategy designed to reduce overall volatility and downside risk. These Funds may also be used in conjunction with guaranteed living benefit riders we offer with various annuity contracts. Conflicts may arise because the manner in which these Funds and their strategies are executed by Columbia Management are expected to benefit us by reducing our financial risk and expense in offering guaranteed living benefit riders. Managed volatility Funds employ a strategy to reduce overall volatility and downside risk when markets are declining and market volatility is high. A successful strategy may result in less gain in your Policy Value during rising markets with higher volatility when compared to Funds not employing a managed volatility strategy. Although an investment in the managed volatility Funds may mitigate declines in your Policy Value due to declining equity markets, the Funds’ investment strategies may also curb or decrease your Policy Value during periods of positive performance by the equity markets. There is no guarantee that any of the Funds’ strategies will be successful. Costs associated with running a managed volatility strategy may also adversely impact the performance of managed volatility Funds.

Also, the Lapse may have adverse tax consequences. (See "Possibility of Adverse Tax Consequences.") Your policy may Lapse due to Surrender Charges. Surrender Charges affect the surrender value, which is a measure we use to determine whether your policy will enter a grace period (and possibly Lapse, which may have adverse tax consequences, see "Possibility of Adverse Tax Consequences.").

Your policy could Lapse due to adverse investment experience if the NLG is not in effect and you do not pay the premiums needed to maintain coverage.
