Before investing, carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. The policy’s value allocated to the subaccounts will fluctuate. Variable life insurance involves fees and charges such as administrative charges, expense charges, cost of insurance charges, variable policy value charges, premium charges, surrender charges, underlying fund expenses, and, if applicable, transfer processing fees or withdrawal processing fees, which are explained in the prospectus. This and other information are contained in the policy prospectus and the underlying portfolio prospectuses. Please contact a registered representative or Symetra for free copies of the prospectuses or visit www.symetra.com for an online copy. Please read them carefully before investing.

Past performance is no guarantee of future returns. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, and units, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Policy riders are not available in all U.S. states or any U.S. territory, and terms and conditions may vary by state in which they are available.

A rider is a provision of the policy that may have additional costs, limitations, potential benefits and features that should never be confused with the base policy itself. Before evaluating the benefits of a rider, carefully examine the policy to which it is attached.

Certain benefits or riders may have tax implications. You should consult with your legal or tax professional prior to purchasing.

Life insurance policies contain exclusions, limitations, reductions of benefits and terms for keeping them in-force. Please contact your registered representative for complete details.

Withdrawals or loans on modified endowment contracts (MECs) may be subject to federal income tax and an additional 10% tax on amounts taken prior to age 59½.

Withdrawals or loans may not be allowed in certain situations. Amounts withdrawn will decrease the policy death benefit and may be subject to a withdrawal processing fee. Loans may have a permanent effect on the policy, even if repaid.

1In most instances, life insurance proceeds are not subject to federal income taxes.

2If the policy is properly structured in a trust outside of an estate, the proceeds are also free of federal estate taxes. A trust should be drafted by an attorney familiar with such matters. Failure to properly structure could result in adverse treatment of trust proceeds. Symetra Life Insurance Company does not provide tax advice.

3As long as total premiums paid to date, less any withdrawals made and loan indebtedness is at least greater than the accumulated no-lapse guarantee premium, the policy will not terminate before the no-lapse guarantee expiry date, even if the net surrender value is insufficient to cover the monthly deductions.

4Tax-deferred growth is subject to taxation when withdrawn. Units may be worth more or less upon withdrawal than when purchased. Please refer to your policy prospectus.

5Increases are available after year one and will incur policy charges. Decreases may be requested after the first policy year. The specified amount may not be decreased below 25% of the initial specified amount and may not be less than the minimum specified amount for the rate class. If issued at $100,000, no reduction in specified amount is allowed.

6Withdrawals and loans may reduce or eliminate the death benefit payable to your beneficiaries. In general, policy loans are charged interest; they are usually not taxable. If a policy lapses or is surrendered, the loan becomes immediately taxable to the extent of the gain in your policy. Withdrawals are taxable only when you take more money out of the policy than you’ve paid in premiums. If your policy becomes a Modified Endowment Contract (MEC), less advantageous tax provisions apply. The tax treatment of a loan with a net charge of zero is unclear and could be averse to the policyowner.
