POLICY SUMMARY
This summary highlights the features and benefits of the policy, the risks that you should consider before purchasing a policy and the fees and charges associated with the policy and its benefits. More detailed information is included in the other sections of this prospectus which should be read carefully before you purchase the policy.
The Policy's Features and Benefits
Premium Payments See Premium Payments, page 15.	You choose when to pay and how much to pay. You will need to pay sufficient premiums to keep the policy in force. Failure to pay sufficient premiums may cause your policy to lapse. You cannot pay additional premiums after age 100. We may refuse any premium that would disqualify your policy as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code. We deduct tax charges and a sales charge from each premium payment and credit the remaining premium (the "net premium") to the variable account or the fixed account according to your instructions.
Free Look Period See Free Look Period, page 17.	During the free look period, you have the right to examine your policy and return it for a refund if you are not satisfied for any reason. The free look period is generally ten days from your receipt of the policy, although certain states may allow more than ten days. Generally, there are two types of free look refunds:
	Some states require a return of all premium we have received; and Other states require that we return your policy value plus a refund of all fees and charges deducted.
	The length of the free look period and the free look refund that applies in your state will be stated in your policy. During the free look period, your net premium will be allocated among the investment options you have selected unless your state requires a return of premium as the free look refund. In these states your net premium directed to the sub-accounts will be allocated to the ING Liquid Asset Portfolio sub-account until after the free look period ends.
Death Benefits See Death Benefits, page 22.	Death benefits are paid if your policy is in force when the insured person dies. Until age 100, the amount of the death benefit will depend on which death benefit option is in effect when the insured person dies. There are three death benefit options available under your policy:
	Option 1 - the base death benefit is the greater of the amount of basic insurance coverage you have selected or your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A; Option 2 - the base death benefit is the greater of the amount of basic insurance coverage you have selected plus your policy value or your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A; or Option 3 - the base death benefit is the greater of the amount of basic insurance coverage you have selected plus premiums paid minus withdrawals taken or your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A.
	After age 100, death benefit Option 1 will apply to all policies and the amount of basic insurance coverage selected will equal the amount of basic insurance coverage in effect on the policy anniversary nearest the insured person's 100th birthday plus the amount of coverage, if any, under the adjustable term insurance rider on that date. We will reduce the death benefit proceeds payable under any death benefit option by any outstanding loans, accrued loan interest and unpaid fees and charges. The death benefit is generally not subject to federal income tax if your policy continues to meet the federal income tax definition of life insurance.

Strategic Investor - 3

Temporary Insurance See Temporary Insurance, page 17.	If you apply and qualify, we may issue temporary insurance equal to the total amount of insurance coverage for which you applied. The maximum amount of temporary insurance is $4.5 million, which includes other in-force coverage you have with us. Temporary insurance may not be available in all states.
Rider Benefits See Additional Insurance Benefits, page 28.	Your policy may include additional insurance benefits, attached by rider. There are two types of rider benefits:
	Optional rider benefits that you must select before they are effective; and Rider benefits that automatically come with your policy.
	In many cases, we deduct an additional monthly charge for these benefits. Not all riders may be available under your policy or in your state.
Investment Options See The Investment Options, page 12.	You may allocate your net premiums to the Security Life Separate Account L1 (the "variable account") and to our fixed account. The variable account is one of our separate accounts and consists of sub-accounts which invest in corresponding funds. When you allocate premiums to a sub-account, we invest any net premiums in shares of the corresponding fund. Your variable account value will vary with the investment performance of the funds and the charges we deduct from your variable account value. The fixed account is part of our general account and consists of all of our assets other than those in our separate accounts (including the variable account) and loan account. We credit interest of at least 3.00% per year on amounts allocated to the fixed account, and we may, in our sole discretion, credit interest in excess of this amount.
Transfers See Transfers, page 35.	You currently may make an unlimited number of transfers between the sub-accounts and to the fixed account each policy year. Transfers are, however, subject to any limits, conditions and restrictions that we or the funds whose shares are involved may impose. There are certain restrictions on transfers from the fixed account. We do not charge for transfers.
Dollar Cost Averaging See Dollar Cost Averaging, page 35.	Dollar cost averaging is a systematic program of transferring policy values to selected sub-accounts of the variable account. It is intended to help reduce the risk of investing too much when the price of a fund's shares is high. It also helps to reduce the risk of investing too little when the price of a fund's shares is low. Dollar cost averaging does not assure a profit nor does it protect you against a loss in a declining market. There are certain conditions on participation in the dollar cost averaging program, but there is no charge to participate in the dollar cost averaging program.
Automatic Rebalancing See Automatic Rebalancing, page 36.	Automatic rebalancing is a systematic program through which your variable and fixed account values are periodically reallocated among your selected investment options to maintain the allocation percentages you have chosen. Automatic rebalancing does not assure a profit nor does it protect you against a loss in a declining market. There are certain conditions on participation in the automatic rebalancing program, but there is no charge to participate in the automatic rebalancing program.

4 - Strategic Investor

Loans See Loans, page 34.	After the first policy month, you may take loans against your policy's surrender value. A loan must be at least $100 and is generally limited to your policy value minus any outstanding loan balance and accrued loan interest (the "net policy value") less the periodic fees and charges to your next policy anniversary. When you take a loan from your policy we transfer an amount equal to your loan to the loan account as collateral for your loan. The loan account is part of our general account. We credit amounts held in the loan account with interest at an annual rate no less than 3.00%. We also charge interest on loans. Interest is due in arrears on each policy anniversary and accrues daily at a current annual rate of 3.75% in policy years 1-10 and 3.00% in all years thereafter. Loans reduce your policy's death benefit and may cause your policy to lapse. Loans may have tax consequences, and you should consult with a tax adviser before taking a loan from your policy.
Partial Withdrawals See Partial Withdrawals, page 37.	After the first policy year, you may take up to 12 partial withdrawals each policy year. In certain circumstances you may take partial withdrawals during the first policy year. A partial withdrawal must be at least $100 and may not exceed the amount which leaves your net policy value less than $500. We currently charge a fee of 2.00% of the amount withdrawn, up to $25 for each partial withdrawal. Partial withdrawals may reduce the amount of basic and total insurance coverage under your policy and will reduce your policy value. Partial withdrawals may also have tax consequences, and you should consult with a tax adviser before taking a partial withdrawal from your policy.
Surrenders See Surrender, page 39.	You may surrender your policy for its surrender value at any time before the death of the insured person. Your surrender value is your policy value plus any refund of sales charge due minus your outstanding loan amount and accrued loan interest. All insurance coverage ends on the date we receive your surrender request. If you surrender your policy it cannot be reinstated. Surrendering the policy may have tax consequences, and you should consult with a tax adviser before surrendering your policy.
Reinstatement See Reinstatement, page 40.	You may reinstate your policy and riders within five years of lapse if you still own the policy and did not surrender it and the insured person is still insurable. You will need to pay the required reinstatement premium. If you had an outstanding loan when coverage lapsed, we will reinstate it with accrued loan interest to the date of the lapse. A policy that is reinstated more than 90 days after lapsing will be considered a modified endowment contract for tax purposes. Reinstating your policy may have tax consequences, and you should consult with a tax adviser before reinstating your policy.

Factors You Should Consider Before Purchasing a Policy
The decision to purchase a policy should be discussed with your agent/registered representative. Make sure you understand the policy's investment options, its other features and benefits, its risks and the fees and charges you will incur. Consider, among others, the following matters.
Life Insurance Coverage	The policy is not a short-term savings vehicle and should be purchased only if you need life insurance coverage. Evaluate your need for life insurance coverage before purchasing a policy. You should purchase a policy only if you intend and have the financial capability to keep the policy in force for a substantial period of time.
Investment Risk See The Variable Account, page 13.	You should evaluate the policy's long-term investment potential and risks before purchasing a policy. For amounts you allocate to the sub-accounts of the variable account:
	Your values will fluctuate with the markets, interest rates and the performance of the underlying funds; You assume the risk that your values may decline or may not perform to your expectations; Your policy could lapse without value or you may be required to pay additional premium because of poor fund performance; Each fund has various investment risks, and some funds are riskier than others; You should read each fund's prospectus and understand the risks associated with the fund before allocating your premiums to its corresponding sub-account; and There is no assurance that any fund will achieve its stated investment objective.
	For amounts you allocate to the fixed account:
	Interest rates we declare will change over time; and You assume the risk that interest rates may decline, although never below the guaranteed minimum annual rate of 3.00%.
Fees and Charges See Fees and Charges, page 18.	A policy's fees and charges reflect costs associated with its features and benefits. Before purchasing a policy, compare the value that these various features and benefits have to you, given your particular circumstances, with the fees and charges associated with those features and benefits.
Lapse See Lapse, page 40.	Your policy may lapse and your insurance coverage under the policy may terminate if on any monthly processing date:
	Your net policy value is not enough to pay the periodic fees and charges when due.
	If you meet this condition, we will send you notice and give you a 61 day grace period to make a sufficient premium payment. If you do not make a sufficient premium payment by the end of the 61 day grace period, your life insurance coverage will terminate and your policy will lapse without value. Partial withdrawals and loans have an adverse impact on your net policy value. Before taking a partial withdrawal or loan consider its affect on your ability to keep your policy from lapsing.
Exchanges See Purchasing a Policy, page 15.	Replacing your existing life insurance policy(ies) with the policy described in this prospectus may not be beneficial to you. Before purchasing a policy, determine whether your existing policy(ies) will be subject to fees or penalties upon surrender or cancellation. Also compare the fees, charges, coverage provisions and limitations, if any, of your existing policy(ies) with those of the policy described in this prospectus.

6 - Strategic Investor

Taxation See TAX CONSIDERATIONS, page 41.	Under current federal income tax law, death benefits of life insurance policies generally are not subject to income tax. In order for this treatment to apply, the policy must qualify as a life insurance contract. We believe it is reasonable to conclude that the policy will qualify as a life insurance contract. Assuming the policy qualifies as a life insurance contract under current federal income tax law, your policy earnings are generally not subject to income tax as long as they remain within your policy. Depending on your circumstances, however, the following events may have tax consequences for you:
	Reduction in the amount of your insurance coverage; Partial withdrawals; Loans; Surrender; Lapse; and Reinstatement.
	In addition, if your policy is a modified endowment contract, a loan against or secured by the policy may cause income taxation. A penalty tax may be imposed on a distribution from a modified endowment contract as well. There is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the policy could be changed by legislation or otherwise. You should consult a tax adviser with respect to legislative developments and their effect on the policy. Consult with a qualified legal or tax adviser before you purchase a policy.
Sales Compensation	We pay compensation to broker/dealers who sell the policy. Broker/dealers may be able to choose to receive their compensation under various payment options, but their choice will not affect the fees and charges you will pay for the policy.
Other Products	We and our affiliates offer other insurance products which may have different features, benefits, fees and charges. These other products may better match your needs. Contact your agent/registered representative if you would like information about these other products.

How the Policy Works

Strategic Investor - 11

	THE COMPANY, THE FIXED ACCOUNT AND THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT
	Security Life of Denver Insurance Company
	We are a stock life insurance company organized in 1929 and incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado. We are admitted to do business in the District of Columbia and all states except New York. Our headquarters is at 1290 Broadway, Denver, Colorado 80203-5699.
	We are a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of ING Groep N.V. ("ING"), a global financial institution active in the fields of insurance, banking and asset management. ING is headquartered in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
	The Investment Options
	You may allocate your premium payments to any of the available investment options. These options include the fixed account and sub-accounts of the variable account. The investment performance of a policy depends on the performance of the investment options you choose.
	The Fixed Account
In the policy the "fixed account" is referred to as the "Guaranteed Interest Division."	You may allocate all or a part of your net premium and transfer your net policy value into the fixed account. We declare the interest rate that applies to all amounts in the fixed account. This interest rate is never less than 3.00%. Interest compounds daily at an effective annual rate that equals the declared rate. We credit interest to the fixed account on a daily basis. We pay interest regardless of the actual investment performance of our general account. We bear all of the investment risk for the fixed account.
	Your fixed account value equals the net premium you allocate to the fixed account, plus interest earned, minus amounts you transfer out or withdraw. It may be reduced by fees and charges assessed against your policy value.
	The fixed account guarantees principal and is part of our general account. The general account supports our non-variable insurance and annuity obligations. We have not registered interests in the fixed account under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("1933 Act"). Also, we have not registered the fixed account or the general account as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act") (because of exemptive and exclusionary provisions). This means that the general account, the fixed account and interests in it are generally not subject to regulation under these Acts.
	The SEC staff has not reviewed the disclosures in this prospectus relating to the general account and the fixed account. These disclosures, however, may be subject to certain requirements of the federal securities law regarding accuracy and completeness of statements made.

12 - Strategic Investor

The Variable Account
We established Security Life Separate Account L1 (the "variable account") on November 3, 1993, as one of our separate accounts under the laws of the State of Colorado. It is a unit investment trust, registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act.	In the policy the "variable account" is referred to as the "Separate Account."
We own all of the assets of the variable account. Colorado law provides, however, that we cannot charge the variable account with liabilities arising out of any other business we may conduct. This means that if we ever became insolvent, the variable account assets will be used first to pay variable account policy claims. Only if variable account assets remain after these claims have been satisfied can these assets be used to pay owners of other policies and creditors.
The variable account is divided into sub-accounts. Each sub-account invests in a corresponding fund. When you allocate premium payments to a sub-account, you acquire accumulation units of that sub-account. You do not invest directly in or hold shares of the funds when you allocate premium payments to the sub-accounts of the variable account. See Appendix B to this prospectus for a list of the funds available through the variable account along with information about each fund's investment adviser/subadviser, investment objective and total annual fund expenses.
More detailed information about a fund, including information about the risks associated with investing in the fund, is located in the fund's prospectus. Read the fund prospectuses in conjunction with this prospectus, and retain the prospectuses for future reference.
A fund available through the variable account is not the same as a retail mutual fund with the same or similar name. Accordingly, the management, expenses and performance of a fund available through the variable account is likely to differ from a similarly named retail mutual fund.
Voting Privileges. We invest each sub-account's assets in shares of a corresponding fund. We are the legal owner of the fund shares held in the variable account, and we have the right to vote on certain issues. Among other things, we may vote on issues described in the fund's current prospectus or issues requiring a vote by shareholders under the 1940 Act.
Even though we own the shares, we give you the opportunity to tell us how to vote the number of shares attributable to your policy. We count fractional shares. If you have a voting interest, we send you proxy material and a form on which to give us your voting instructions.
Each fund share has the right to one vote. The votes of all fund shares are cast together on a collective basis, except on issues for which the interests of the funds differ. In these cases, voting is on a fund-by-fund basis.
Examples of issues that require a fund-by-fund vote are changes in the fundamental investment policy of a particular fund or approval of an investment advisory agreement.
We vote the shares in accordance with your instructions at meetings of the fund's shareholders. We vote any fund shares that are not attributable to policies and any fund shares for which the owner does not give us instructions in the same proportion as we vote the shares for which we did receive voting instructions.
We reserve the right to vote fund shares without getting instructions from policy owners if the federal securities laws, regulations or their interpretations change to allow this.

Strategic Investor - 13

You may instruct us only on matters relating to the funds corresponding to the sub-accounts in which you have invested assets as of the record date set by the fund's Board for the shareholders meeting. We determine the number of fund shares in each sub-account of your policy by dividing your variable account value in that sub-account by the net asset value of one share of the matching fund.

Right to Change the Variable Account. Subject to state and federal law and the rules and regulations thereunder, we may, from time to time, make any of the following changes to our variable account with respect to some or all classes of policies:

• Change the investment objective;
• Offer additional sub-accounts which will invest in funds we find appropriate for policies we issue;
• Eliminate sub-accounts;
• Combine two or more sub-accounts;
• Substitute a new fund for a fund in which a sub-account currently invests. A substitution may become necessary if, in our judgment:

• A fund no longer suits the purposes of your policy;
• There is a change in laws or regulations;
• There is a change in the fund's investment objectives or restrictions;
• The fund is no longer available for investment; or
• Another reason we deem a substitution is appropriate.

• In the case of a substitution, the new fund may have different fees and charges than the fund it replaced;
• Transfer assets related to your policy class to another separate account;
• Withdraw the variable account from registration under the 1940 Act;

• Operate the variable account as a management investment company under the 1940 Act;
• Cause one or more sub-accounts to invest in a fund other than, or in addition to, the funds currently available;
• Stop selling the policy;
• End any employer or plan trustee agreement with us under the agreement's terms;
• Limit or eliminate any voting rights for the variable account;
• Make any changes required by the 1940 Act or its rules or regulations; or
• Close a sub-account to new investments.

We will not make a change until it is effective with the SEC and approved by the appropriate state insurance departments, if necessary. We will notify you of changes. If you wish to transfer the amount you have in the affected sub-account to another sub-account or to the fixed account, you may do so free of charge. Just notify us at our customer service center.

DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT THE POLICY

This prospectus describes our standard Strategic Investor variable universal life insurance policy. The policy provides death benefits, policy values and other features of traditional life insurance contracts. There may be variations in policy features, benefits and charges because of requirements of the state where we issue your policy. We describe all such differences in your policy.

If you would like to know about state variations, please ask your agent/registered representative. We can provide him/her with the list of variations that will apply to your policy.

Purchasing a Policy

To purchase a policy you must submit an application to us. On that application you will, among other things, select:

• The amount of your total insurance coverage (which generally must be at least $100,000 for fully underwritten policies and $50,000 for guaranteed issue policies);
• Your initial death benefit option;
• The death benefit qualification test to apply to your policy; and
• Any riders or optional benefits.

Additionally, on the application you will provide us with certain health and other necessary information.

On the date coverage under the policy begins (the "policy date"), the person on whose life we issue the policy (the "insured person") generally can be no more than age 70 for a guaranteed issue or simplified-underwritten policy, or age 85 for a fully-underwritten policy. "Age" under the policy means the insured person's age on the birthday nearest to the policy date. From time to time, we may accept an insured person who exceeds our normal maximum age limit. We will not unfairly discriminate in determining the maximum age at issue. All exceptions to our normal limits are dependent upon our ability to obtain acceptable reinsurance coverage for our risk with an older insured. We may also set a minimum age to issue a policy.

You may request that we back-date the policy up to six months to allow the insured person to give proof of a younger age for the purposes of your policy.

Premium Payments

Premium payments are flexible and you may choose the amount and frequency of premium payments, within limits, including:

• We may refuse to accept any premium less than $25;
• You cannot pay additional premiums after age 100;
• We may refuse any premium that would disqualify your policy as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code; and
• We may refuse to accept any premium that does not comply with our anti-money laundering program. See General Policy Provisions - Anti-Money Laundering, page 49.

After we deduct the tax charges and the sales charge from your premium payments, we apply the remaining premium (the "net premium") to your policy as described below.

A premium payment is received by us when it is received at our offices. After you have paid your initial premium, we suggest you send payments directly to us, rather than through your agent/registered representative, to assure the earliest crediting date.

Your initial premium must be at least equal to the sum of the scheduled premium from the policy date through the investment date. The investment date is the date we apply the net premium to your policy.

Scheduled Premium. You may select your scheduled (planned) premium (within our limits) when you apply for your policy. The scheduled premium, shown in your policy and schedule, is the amount you choose to pay over a stated time period. This amount may or may not be enough to keep your policy in force. You may receive premium reminder notices for the scheduled premium on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. You are not required to pay the scheduled premium.

Strategic Investor - 15

You can change the amount of your scheduled premium within our minimum and maximum limits at any time. If you fail to pay your scheduled premium or if you change the amount of your scheduled premium, your policy performance will be affected.

Unscheduled Premium Payments. Generally speaking, you may make unscheduled premium payments at any time, however:

• We may limit the amount of an unscheduled premium payment if it would result in an increase in the amount of the base death benefit required by the federal income tax law definition of life insurance. We may require satisfactory evidence that the insured person is insurable at the time that you make the unscheduled premium payment if the base death benefit is increased due to an unscheduled premium payment;
• We may require proof that the insured person is insurable if an unscheduled premium payment will cause the net amount at risk to increase; and
• We will return premium payments which would cause your policy to become a modified endowment contract, unless you have acknowledged in writing the new modified endowment contract status for your policy.

Target Premium. Target premium is not based on your scheduled premium. Target premium is actuarially determined based on the age and gender of the insured person. The target premium is used to determine your sales charge and the sales compensation we pay. It may or may not be enough to keep your policy in force. You are not required to pay the target premium and there is no penalty for paying more or less. The target premium for your policy and additional segments is listed in your policy schedule pages.

Premium Payments Affect Your Coverage. Your coverage lasts only as long as you have a positive net policy value which is enough to pay the periodic fees and charges due each month. If you do not meet this requirement, your policy will enter a 61-day grace period and you must make a sufficient premium payment to keep your policy from lapsing. See Termination of Coverage - Lapse, page 40.

Allocation of Net Premium. We apply the initial net premium to your policy after all of the following conditions have been met:

• We receive the required initial premium;
• All issue requirements have been received by our customer service center; and
• We approve your policy for issue.

Amounts you designate for the fixed account will be allocated to that account on the investment date. If your state requires return of your premium during the free look period, we initially invest amounts you have designated for the sub-accounts of the variable account in the sub-account which invests in the ING Liquid Asset Portfolio. We later transfer these amounts from this sub-account to your selected sub-accounts, based on your most recent premium allocation instructions, at the earlier of the following dates:

• Five days after the date we mailed your policy to you plus the length of your state free look period; or
• The date we receive your delivery receipt plus the length of your state free look period.

16 - Strategic Investor

If your state provides for return of your policy value during the free look period (or provides no free look period), we allocate amounts you designated for the sub-accounts of the variable account directly into those sub-accounts.

All net premium we receive after the applicable period are allocated to your policy on the valuation date of receipt. We will use your most recent premium allocation instructions specified in percentages stated to the nearest tenth and totaling 100%.

Free Look Period

You have the right to examine your policy and return it to us (for any reason) within the period shown in the policy. The period during which you have this right is called the free look period and starts on the date you receive your policy. If you return your policy to us within the free look period, we cancel it as of your policy date.

If you cancel your policy during the free look period, you will receive a refund as determined by state law. Generally, there are two types of free look refunds:

• Refund of all premium we have received from you; or
• Refund of your policy value plus a refund of all charges deducted.

The type of refund that applies in your state will be specified in your policy. The type of free look refund will affect when premium received before the end of the free look period is allocated to the sub-accounts. See Premium Payments - Allocation of Net Premium, page 16.

Temporary Insurance

If you apply and qualify, we may issue temporary insurance in an amount equal to the amount of insurance coverage for which you applied, up to $4.5 million, which includes other in-force coverage you have with us.

Temporary insurance coverage begins when all of the following events have occurred:

• You have completed and signed our temporary insurance coverage form;
• We have received and accepted a premium payment of at least your scheduled premium (selected on your application); and
• The necessary parts of the application are complete.

Unless otherwise provided by state law, temporary insurance coverage ends on the earliest of:

• Five days after we mail the premium refund to the address on your application;
• Five days after we mail notice of termination to the address on your application;
• Your policy date;
• The date we refuse to issue a policy based on your application; or
• 90 days after you sign our temporary life insurance coverage form.

There is no death benefit under the temporary insurance coverage if any of the following events occur:

• There is a material misrepresentation in your answers on the temporary insurance coverage form;
• There is a material misrepresentation in statements on your application;
• The person or persons intended to be insured die by suicide or self-inflicted injury; or
• The bank does not honor your premium check or authorized withdrawal.

Strategic Investor - 17

During the period of temporary insurance coverage your premium payments are held by us in a general suspense account until underwriting is completed and the policy is issued or the temporary insurance coverage otherwise ends. Premiums held in this suspense account do not earn interest and they are not allocated to the investment options available under the policy until a policy is issued. See Premium Payments - Allocation of Net Premium, page 16.
Fees and Charges
We deduct fees and charges under the policy to compensate us for:
Providing the insurance benefits of the policy (including any rider benefits); Administering the policy; Assuming certain risks in connection with the policy; and Incurring expenses in distributing the policy.
The amount of a fee or charge may be more or less than the cost associated with the service or benefit. Accordingly, excess proceeds from one fee or charge may be used to make up a shortfall on another fee or charge, and we may earn a profit on one or more of these fees and charges. We may use any such profits for any proper corporate purpose, including, among other things, payment of sales expenses.
Transaction Fees and Charges
We deduct the following transaction fees and charges from your policy value each time you make certain transactions.
Tax Charges. We deduct 2.5% from each premium payment to cover the total average state and local taxes we expect to pay. We pay state and local taxes in most states. These taxes vary from state to state and from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
We deduct 1.5% from each premium payment to cover our estimated costs for the federal income tax treatment of deferred acquisition costs. This cost is determined solely by the amount of life insurance premium we receive.
We may increase or decrease the charges for taxes, within limits, if there are changes in the tax rates or tax laws.
Sales Charge. We deduct a sales charge from each premium payment.
Segment Year	Up to Segment Target Premium	Above Segment Target Premium
1 - 10	11.00%	0.00%
11+	0.00%	0.00%
To determine your applicable sales charge, premium payments we receive after an increase in the amount of basic insurance coverage are allocated to your coverage segments in the same proportion as the target premium for each segment bears to the sum of the target premium for all segments.
This charge helps compensate us for the costs associated with selling the policies, including promotional, advertising and distribution expenses.

18 - Strategic Investor

Partial Withdrawal Fee. We deduct a partial withdrawal fee each time you take a partial withdrawal from your policy. The amount of this fee is 2.00% of the amount withdrawn up to $25. We deduct the partial withdrawal fee proportionately from your remaining fixed and variable account values.
This fee helps offset the expenses we incur when processing a partial withdrawal.
Excess Illustration Fee. We currently do not assess this fee, but we reserve the right to assess a fee of up to $25 for each illustration of your policy values you request after the first each policy year.
This fee helps offset the costs we incur when processing requests for excess illustrations.
Periodic Fees and Charges
We deduct the following periodic fees and charges from your policy value on the monthly processing date. The monthly processing date is the same date each month as your policy date. If that date is not a valuation date, then the monthly processing date is the next valuation date.
At any time you may choose one investment option from which we will deduct your periodic fees and charges. If you do not choose the investment option or the amount in your chosen investment option is not enough to cover the periodic fees and charges, then your periodic fees and charges are taken from the sub-accounts and fixed account in the same proportion that your value in each has to your net policy value.
Mortality & Expense Risk Charge. Each month we deduct from your policy value a mortality and expense risk charge based on the amount invested in the sub-accounts according to the following rates:
Policy Value	1st Policy Year	Policy Years 2-10	Policy Years 11+
Less than $25,000	0.0625% (0.75% annually)	0.0625% (0.75% annually)	0.0250% (0.30% annually)
$25,000 to $250,000	0.0625% (0.75% annually)	0.0583% (0.70% annually)	0.0167% (0.20% annually)
Greater than $250,000	0.0625% (0.75% annually)	0.0542% (0.65% annually)	0.0083% (0.10% annually)
This charge helps compensate us for the mortality and expense risks we assume when we issue a policy. The mortality risk is the risk that insured people, as a group, may live less time than we estimated. The expense risk is the risk that the costs of issuing and administering the policies and operating the sub-accounts of the variable account are greater than we estimated.
Policy Charge. Each month we deduct a policy charge of $13 during the first three policy years and $3 each month thereafter.
This charge helps compensate us for the costs associated with:
Processing applications; Conducting medical examinations; Establishing policy records; and Underwriting.

Strategic Investor - 19

Administrative Charge. Each month we deduct an administrative charge equal to our current monthly administrative charge rates multiplied by the amount of your basic insurance coverage (or total insurance coverage, if greater) divided by 1,000. The rates apply to the first $5 million of coverage and vary based on the insured person's age at issue. The rates decrease after the fifth policy year. The rates that apply to you will be set forth in your policy. See the Fees and Charges - Periodic Fees and Charges table on page 9 for the minimum and maximum administrative charge rates and the rates for a representative insured person.

This charge helps offset the costs we incur in administering the policy, including costs associated with:

• Billing and collecting premiums;
• Processing claims and policy transactions;
• Keeping records;
• Reporting and communicating with policy owners; and
• Our overhead and other expenses.

Cost of Insurance. Each month we deduct a cost of insurance charge equal to our current monthly cost of insurance rates multiplied by the net amount at risk for each segment of your basic insurance coverage. The net amount at risk as calculated on each monthly processing date equals the difference between:

• Your current base death benefit, discounted to take into account one month's interest earnings at an assumed 3.00% annual interest rate; and
• Your policy value minus the periodic fees and charges due on that date, other than cost of insurance charges.

Monthly cost of insurance rates are based on the insured person's age at issue, gender, risk class and amount of insurance coverage on the policy date and each date you increase your insurance coverage (a "segment date") and the segment year. They will not, however, be greater than the guaranteed cost of insurance rates shown in the policy, which are based on the 1980 Commissioner's Standard Ordinary Sex Distinct Mortality Tables. We will apply unisex rates where appropriate under the law. This currently includes policies issued in the state of Montana and policies issued to employers or employee organizations in connection with employment related insurance or benefit programs. For fully underwritten policies, we make lower cost of insurance rates available for total death benefit amounts of $250,000 or more. The rates that apply to you will be set forth in your policy. See the Fees and Charges - Periodic Fees and Charges table on page 9 for the minimum and maximum cost of insurance rates and the rates for a representative insured person.

Separate cost of insurance rates apply to each segment of your insurance coverage and your riders. The maximum rates for the initial segment and each new segment of your insurance coverage will be printed in your policy schedule pages.

The cost of insurance charge varies from month to month because of changes in your net amount at risk, changes in the death benefit and the increasing age of the insured person. We allocate the net amount at risk to segments of basic insurance coverage in the same proportion that each segment has to the total amount of basic insurance coverage as of the monthly processing date.

There are no cost of insurance charges during the continuation of coverage period.

The cost of insurance charge compensates us for the ongoing costs of providing insurance coverage, including the expected cost of paying death benefit proceeds that may be more than your policy value.

Optional Rider Fees and Charges

There may be separate fees and charges for optional rider benefits. See the Fees and Charges - Optional Rider Fees and Charges table on page 10, and the Additional Insurance Benefits - Optional Rider Benefits section on page 28 for more information about the optional rider benefits and the applicable fees and charges.

Waiver and Reduction of Fees and Charges

We may waive or reduce any of the fees and charges under the policy, as well as the minimum amount of insurance coverage set forth in this prospectus. Any waiver or reduction will be based on expected economies that result in lower sales, administrative or mortality expenses. For example, we may expect lower expenses in connection with sales to:

• Certain groups or sponsored arrangements (including our employees, employees of our affiliates, our appointed sales agents and certain family members of each of these groups of individuals);
• Corporate purchasers;
• Our policyholders or the policyholders of our affiliated companies, or
• Certain groups or individuals who purchase the policy through investment professionals who charge a fee for their services.

We will not unfairly discriminate in any waiver or reduction. These variations will be based on differences in costs or services.

	Fund Fees and Expenses
	A fund's fees and expenses are set by the fund and may change from year to year. They are deducted from the fund's assets and are not direct charges against a sub-account's assets or policy values. Rather, they are included when each underlying fund computes its net asset value, which is the share price used to calculate the unit values of the sub-accounts. See the Fees and Charges - Fund Fees and Expenses table on page 10 for the minimum and maximum total annual fund expenses of the funds available through the policy. See also Appendix B for each fund's total annual fund expenses.
	For a more complete description of the funds' fees and expenses, review each fund's prospectus.
	Each of the funds or their affiliates pays us compensation for recordkeeping, administration or other services. The amount of compensation is usually based on the aggregate assets of the fund from policies that we issue or administer. Some funds or their affiliates pay us more than others and some of the amounts we receive may be significant.
	Death Benefits
In the policy the amount of insurance coverage you select is referred to as the "Face Amount."	You decide the amount of life insurance protection you need, now and in the future. Generally, we require a minimum of $100,000 ($50,000 for guaranteed issue policies) of total insurance coverage to issue your policy. We may lower this minimum for certain group, sponsored or corporate purchasers. The amount of insurance coverage in effect on your policy date is your initial coverage segment.
	You can combine the long-term advantages of permanent life insurance with the flexibility and short-term advantages of term life insurance through the policy. The base policy provides the permanent element of your coverage. The adjustable term insurance rider provides the term insurance element of your coverage.
It may be to your economic advantage to include part of your insurance coverage under the adjustable term insurance rider. The adjustable term insurance rider has no cash value, however, and provides no growth potential. Both the cost of insurance under the term insurance rider and the cost of insurance under the base policy are deducted monthly from your policy value and generally increase with the age of the insured person.
Changes in the Amount of Your Insurance Coverage
Subject to certain limitations, you may change the amount of your insurance coverage after the first policy year (first monthly processing date for an increase). The change will be effective on the next monthly processing date after we receive your written request.
There may be underwriting or other requirements that must be met before we will approve a change. After we approve your request to change the amount of insurance coverage under the policy, we will send a new policy schedule page to you. You should attach it to your policy. We may ask you to return your policy to our customer service center so that we can make this change for you.
Changes in the amount of your insurance coverage must be for at least $1,000.
A requested increase in basic insurance coverage will cause a new coverage segment to be created. Once we create a new segment, it is permanent unless law requires differently.

22 - Strategic Investor

Each new segment will have:

• A new sales charge;
• New cost of insurance charges, guaranteed and current;
• A new incontestability period;
• A new suicide exclusion period; and
• A new target premium.

If a death benefit option change causes the amount of basic insurance coverage to increase, no new segment is created. Instead, the size of each existing segment(s) is (are) changed. If it causes the amount of basic insurance coverage to decrease, each segment is decreased.

In determining the net amount at risk for each coverage segment we allocate the net amount at risk among the basic coverage segments in the same proportion that each segment bears to the total amount of basic insurance coverage.

You may not decrease the amount of your insurance coverage below the minimum we require to issue you a policy. Decreases in insurance coverage may result in:

• Reduced target premium amounts; and
• Reduced cost of insurance charges.

Requested reductions in the amount of insurance coverage will first decrease your total insurance coverage amount. We decrease your basic insurance coverage amount only after your adjustable term insurance rider coverage is reduced to zero. If you have more than one segment, we divide decreases in basic coverage among your coverage segments pro rata unless law requires differently.

We reserve the right to not approve a requested change if it will disqualify your policy as life insurance under federal income tax law. Decreasing the amount of insurance coverage under your policy could cause your policy to be considered a modified endowment contract. If this happens, prior and subsequent distributions from the policy (including loans) may be subject to adverse tax treatment. You should consult a tax adviser before changing your amount of insurance coverage. See Distributions Other than Death Benefits - Modified Endowment Contracts, page 43.

Continuation of Coverage

The continuation of coverage feature automatically continues your insurance coverage in force beyond the policy anniversary nearest the insured person's 100^th birthday, unless prohibited by state law. If you do not surrender your policy before this date, on this date:

• The amount of your total insurance coverage becomes your basic insurance coverage amount;
• Death benefit options 2 and 3 are converted to death benefit option 1, if applicable;
• All riders are terminated;
• Your net policy value is transferred into the fixed account and subsequent transfers into the sub-accounts are not allowed; and
• Dollar cost averaging and automatic rebalancing programs are terminated.

Your insurance coverage continues in force until the death of the insured person, unless the policy lapses or is surrendered. However:

• We accept no further premium payments; and
• We deduct no further fees and charges except transaction fees and charges, if applicable.

Strategic Investor - 23

	Partial withdrawals and loans are allowed during the continuation of coverage period. If you have an outstanding loan, interest continues to accrue. If you fail to make sufficient loan or loan interest payments, it is possible that the outstanding loan amount plus accrued loan interest may become greater than your policy value and cause your policy to lapse. To avoid lapse, you may repay the loan and loan interest during the continuation of coverage period.
	If you wish to stop coverage during the continuation of coverage period, you may surrender your policy and receive the net policy value. All other normal consequences of surrender apply. See Termination of Coverage - Surrender, page 39.
	The continuation of coverage feature is not available in all states. If a state has approved this feature, it is automatic under your policy. In certain states the death benefit during the continuation of coverage period is the net policy value. Contact your agent/registered representative or our customer service center to find out if this feature is available in your state and which type of death benefit applies in your state.
	The tax consequences of coverage continuing beyond the insured person's 100th birthday are uncertain. You should consult a tax adviser as to those consequences. See Other Tax Matters - Continuation of a Policy Beyond Age 100, page 44.
	Death Benefit Qualification Tests
	The death benefit proceeds are generally not subject to federal income tax if your policy continues to meet the federal income tax definition of life insurance. Your policy will meet this definition of life insurance provided that it meets the requirements of either the guideline premium test or the cash value accumulation test.
In the policy the "guideline premium test" is referred to as the "Guideline Premium/Cash Value Corridor Test."
	When you apply for a policy you must choose either the guideline premium test or the cash value accumulation test to make sure your policy complies with the Internal Revenue Code's definition of "life insurance." You cannot change this choice once the policy is issued.
	Guideline Premium Test. The guideline premium test requires that premium payments do not exceed certain statutory limits and your death benefit is at least equal to your policy value multiplied by a factor defined by law. The guideline premium test provides for a maximum amount of premium in relation to the death benefit and a minimum amount of death benefit in relation to policy value. In most situations, the death benefit that results from the guideline premium test will be less than the amount of death benefit required under the cash value accumulation test. The factors for the guideline premium test can be found in Appendix A to this prospectus.
	Cash Value Accumulation Test. The cash value accumulation test requires a policy's surrender value not to exceed the net single premium necessary to fund the policy's future benefits. Under the cash value accumulation test, there is no limit to the amount that may be paid in premiums as long as there is enough death benefit in relation to policy value at all times. The death benefit at all times must be at least equal to an actuarially determined factor, depending on the insured person's age and gender at any point in time, multiplied by the policy value. A description of how the cash value accumulation test factors are determined can be found in Appendix A to this prospectus.

24 - Strategic Investor

Which Death Benefit Qualification Test to Choose. The guideline premium test limits the amount of premium that may be paid into a policy. If you do not desire to pay premiums in excess of the guideline premium test limitations, you should consider the guideline premium test.

The cash value accumulation test does not limit the amount of premium that may be paid into a policy. If you desire to pay premiums in excess of the guideline premium test limitations you should elect the cash value accumulation test. However, any premium that would increase the net amount at risk is subject to evidence of insurability satisfactory to us. Required increases in the death benefit due to growth in policy value will generally be greater under the cash value accumulation test than under the guideline premium test. Required increases in the death benefit will increase the cost of insurance under the policy, thereby reducing the policy value.

Death Benefit Options

There are three death benefit options available under the policy. You choose the option you want when you apply for the policy. You may change that choice after your first monthly processing date and before age 100.

Option 1. Under death benefit option 1, the base death benefit is the greater of:

• The amount of basic insurance coverage in effect on the date of the insured person's death; or
• Your policy value on the date of the insured person's death plus the refund of sales charges, if any, multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A.

Under this option your base death benefit will remain level unless your policy value plus the refund of sales charges, if any, multiplied by the appropriate factor described in Appendix A exceeds the amount of basic insurance coverage. In this case, your death benefit will vary as the policy value varies.

With option 1, positive investment performance generally reduces your net amount at risk, which lowers your policy's cost of insurance charge. Option 1 also offers insurance coverage at a set amount with potentially lower cost of insurance charges over time.

Option 2. Under death benefit option 2, the base death benefit is the greater of:

• The amount of basic insurance coverage in effect on the date of the insured person's death plus your policy value; or
• Your policy value on the date of the insured person's death plus the refund of sales charges, if any, multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A.

Under this option your base death benefit will vary as the policy value varies and investment performance is reflected in your insurance coverage.

Option 2 is not available after age 100. If option 2 is in effect at age 100, it automatically converts to death benefit option 1. See Death Benefits - Continuation of Coverage, page 23.

Strategic Investor - 25

Option 3. Under death benefit option 3, the base death benefit is the greater of:

• The amount of basic insurance coverage in effect on the date of the insured person's death plus premiums paid minus withdrawals taken; or
• Your policy value on the date of the insured person's death plus the refund of sales charges, if any, multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A.

Under this option your base death benefit will vary as you pay premiums and take withdrawals or if your policy value plus the refund of sales charges, if any, multiplied by the appropriate factor described in Appendix A exceeds the amount of basic insurance coverage plus premiums paid minus withdrawals taken.

Option 3 is not available after age 100. If option 3 is in effect at age 100, it automatically converts to death benefit option 1. See Death Benefits - Continuation of Coverage, page 23.

Enhanced Death Benefit Corridor Option. For policies issued with select guaranteed issue rates, an additional benefit option is available. The policyowner may elect, at any time prior to policy issuance, the enhanced death benefit corridor option.

Existing group or corporate policy owners who have select guaranteed issue rates can add this option to their policies if it is added to all policies within that issue group. If you would like to do this, contact your agent/registered representative or our customer service center for instructions.

This option generally provides an opportunity for an increased death benefit on the life of the insured person at certain ages. Under the enhanced death benefit corridor option, the base death benefit calculation uses the enhanced factor described in the attached Appendix A.

There is no separate charge for this feature. However, the same policy value may generate a higher base death benefit under policies with this option than on policies not electing the option. Cost of insurance charges are based on the net amount at risk, which is the difference between the policy value and the base death benefit. Therefore, as a result of the increased death benefit, the cost of insurance charges may be higher for policies electing this option. Your agent/registered representative can provide you with a personalized illustration to show the difference between a policy with this option and one without it. If your policy does not have sufficient policy value, electing this option may have no effect on the base death benefit.

Adding this option to your policy does not affect the operation of your policy's riders, including the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider. When the base death benefit exceeds the basic insurance coverage, transactions which reduce your policy value (such as a partial withdrawal) also reduce the death benefit. The dollar reduction to the death benefit under these circumstances is greater for policies with the enhancement option than on those without the option.

Once elected, this option cannot be deleted. Once elected, this option continues as long as coverage on the original insured person continues.

26 - Strategic Investor

Which Death Benefit Option to Choose. If you are satisfied with the amount of your basic insurance coverage and prefer to have premium payments and favorable investment performance reflected to the maximum extent in the policy value and lower cost of insurance charges, you should choose death benefit option 1. If you prefer to have premium payments and favorable investment performance reflected partly in the form of an increasing death benefit, you should choose death benefit option 2. If you require a specific death benefit which would include a return of the premium paid, death benefit option 3 may best meet your needs.
Changing Death Benefit Options. On or after the first monthly processing date and before age 100 you may change death benefit options as described below. We may require evidence of insurability under our normal rules of underwriting for some death benefit option changes.
Changing your death benefit option may reduce or increase your basic and total insurance coverage amounts but it will not change the amount of your base and total death benefits. We may not approve a death benefit option change if it reduces the amount of insurance coverage below the minimum we require to issue your policy. The following death benefit option changes are allowed, and on the effective date of the change the amount of your basic insurance coverage will change as follows:
Change From:	Change To:	Basic Insurance Coverage Following the Change:

If a death benefit option change causes the amount of insurance coverage to change, no new coverage segment(s) is (are) created. Instead, the size of each existing segment(s) is (are) changed. If you change death benefit options, there is no change to the amount of term insurance if you have the adjustable term insurance rider. See Optional Rider Benefits - Adjustable Term Insurance Rider, page 28.
Changing your death benefit option may have tax consequences. You should consult a tax adviser before making changes.

	Death Benefit Proceeds
	After the insured person's death, if your policy is in force we pay the death benefit proceeds to the beneficiaries. The beneficiaries are the people you name to receive the death benefit proceeds from your policy. The death benefit proceeds are equal to:
	Your base death benefit; plus The amount of any rider benefits; minus Any outstanding loan amount plus accrued loan interest; minus Any outstanding fees and charges incurred before the insured person's death.
	The death benefit is calculated as of the date of the insured person's death and will vary depending on the death benefit option you have chosen.
	Additional Insurance Benefits
	Your policy may include additional insurance benefits, attached by rider. There are two types of riders:
	Those that provide optional benefits that you must select before they are effective; and Those that automatically come with the policy.
	The following information does not include all of the terms and conditions of each rider, and you should refer to the rider to fully understand its benefits and limitations. We may offer riders not listed here. Not all riders may be available under your policy. Contact your agent/registered representative for a list of riders and their availability.
	Optional Rider Benefits
	The following riders may have an additional cost, but you may cancel optional riders at any time. Adding or canceling riders may have tax consequences. See Distributions Other than Death Benefits - Modified Endowment Contracts, page 43.
In the policy "basic insurance coverage" or "basic coverage" is referred to as the "Stated Death Benefit"; the "total insurance coverage" or "total coverage" is referred to as the "Target Death Benefit."	Adjustable Term Insurance Rider. You may increase the amount of your total insurance coverage under the policy by adding coverage under the adjustable term insurance rider. This rider allows you to schedule the pattern of insurance coverage appropriate for your anticipated needs. As the name suggests, the adjustable term insurance rider adjusts over time to maintain your desired level of total coverage.
	You specify your amount of total insurance coverage when you apply for this rider. The amount of total insurance coverage can be level for the life of your policy or can be scheduled to increase at the beginning of a selected policy year(s). Scheduled decreases in total insurance coverage are not allowed.
	Generally, the minimum amount of total insurance coverage under a policy is $100,000 ($50,000 for guaranteed issue policies).
	The adjustable term insurance rider benefit is the difference between the amount of your total death benefit and your base death benefit, but not less than zero. The rider's benefit automatically adjusts daily as the amount of your base death benefit changes. Your death benefit proceeds depend on which death benefit option is in effect:

28 - Strategic Investor

Under death benefit option 1, the total death benefit is the greater of:
The amount of total insurance coverage you have selected; or Your policy value plus the refund of sales charges, if any, multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A.
Under death benefit option 2, the total death benefit is the greater of:
The amount of total insurance coverage you have selected plus your policy value; or Your policy value plus the refund of sales charges, if any, multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A.
Under death benefit option 3, the total death benefit is the greater of:
The amount of total insurance coverage you have selected plus the sum of the premium payments we have received minus partial withdrawals you have taken; or Your policy value plus the refund of sales charges, if any, multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A.
For example, under death benefit option 1, assume your base death benefit changes as a result of a change in your policy value. The adjustable term insurance rider adjusts to provide death benefit proceeds equal to your total insurance coverage in each year:
Base Death Benefit	Amount of Total Insurance Coverage	Adjustable Term Insurance Benefit
$201,500	$250,000	$48,500
$202,500	$250,000	$47,500
$202,250	$250,000	$47,750
It is possible that the amount of your adjustable term insurance may be zero if your base death benefit increases enough. Using the same example, if the base death benefit under your policy grew to $250,000 or more, the adjustable term insurance benefit would be zero.
Even when the adjustable term insurance benefit is reduced to zero, your rider remains in effect until you remove it from your policy. Therefore, if later the base death benefit drops below the amount of your total insurance coverage, the adjustable term insurance rider coverage reappears to maintain the amount of your total insurance coverage.
You may change the amount of your total insurance coverage, according to our rules. See Death Benefits - Changes in the Amount of Your Insurance Coverage, page 22.

Strategic Investor - 29

We may deny future, scheduled increases to the amount of your total insurance coverage if you cancel a scheduled change or if you ask for an unscheduled decrease in your total insurance coverage.

Partial withdrawals, changes from death benefit option 1 to option 2, and decreases in the amount of your basic insurance coverage may reduce the amount of your total insurance coverage. See Special Features and Benefits - Partial Withdrawals, page 37; and Death Benefits - Changes in the Amount of Your Insurance Coverage, page 22.

There is no defined premium for a given amount of adjustable term insurance benefit. Instead, we deduct a separate monthly cost of insurance charge from your policy value. The cost of insurance for this rider is calculated as the monthly cost of insurance rate for the rider benefit multiplied by the amount of adjustable term insurance benefit in effect at the monthly processing date. The cost of insurance rates are determined by us from time to time. They are based on the issue age, gender and risk class of the insured person, as well as the length of time since your policy date. See the Fees and Charges - Optional Rider Fees and Charges table on page 10 for the minimum rates, maximum rates and the rates for a representative insured person.

The only charge for this rider is the cost of insurance charge. The total charges that you pay may be more or less if you have some coverage under an adjustable term insurance rider rather than just basic insurance coverage. There are no sales charges for this coverage.

If the total insurance coverage is increased by you after the adjustable term insurance rider is issued, we use the same cost of insurance rate schedule for the entire coverage for this rider. These rates are based on the original risk class even though satisfactory new evidence of insurability is required for the increased schedule. Although the maximum cost of insurance rates for this rider are greater than the maximum cost of insurance rates for the basic insurance coverage, the current rates for this rider may be lower than current cost of insurance rates for the basic insurance coverage. See Periodic Fees and Charges - Cost of Insurance, page 20.

Not all policy features apply to the adjustable term insurance rider. The rider does not contribute to the policy value nor to the surrender value. It does not affect investment performance and cannot be used for a loan. The adjustable term insurance rider provides benefits only at the insured person's death.

Waiver of Cost of Insurance Rider. If the insured person becomes totally disabled while your policy is in force, this rider provides that we waive the periodic fees and charges and rider charges during the disability period. The insured person must be no less than age 15 and no more than age 55. See the Fees and Charges - Optional Rider Fees and Charges table on page 10 for the minimum rates, maximum rates and the rates for a representative insured person. The cost of this rider is included as part of the monthly cost of insurance charge.

If you add this rider to your policy, you may not add the waiver of specified premium rider. This rider is not available if your policy is issued based on guaranteed issue or simplified underwriting.

30 - Strategic Investor

Waiver of Specified Premium Rider. If the insured person becomes totally disabled while your policy is in force, this rider provides that after a waiting period, we credit a specified premium amount monthly to your policy during the disability period. Subject to our underwriting, you specify this amount on the application for the policy. The insured person must be no less than age 15 and no more than age 55. The minimum coverage under this rider is $25 per month. See the Fees and Charges - Optional Rider Fees and Charges table on page 10 for the minimum rates, maximum rates and the rates for a representative insured person.

This rider is not available if your policy is issued based on simplified underwriting.

A policy may contain either the Waiver of Cost of Insurance Rider or the Waiver of Specified Premium Rider, but not both.

Automatic Rider Benefits

The following rider benefits may come with your policy automatically. There may be an additional charge if you choose to exercise any of these rider benefits, and exercising the benefits may have tax consequences. See the Fees and Charges - Optional Rider Fees and Charges table on page 10, and Other Tax Matters - Accelerated Death Benefit Rider, page 44.

Accelerated Death Benefit Rider. Under certain circumstances, the accelerated death benefit rider allows you to accelerate payment of the death benefit that we otherwise would pay upon the insured person's death. Generally, we will provide an accelerated benefit under this rider if the insured person has a terminal illness that will result in his or her death within 12 months, as certified by a physician. The accelerated benefit will be the lesser of 75% of the amount that would be payable at the death of the insured person or $1 million. The accelerated benefit will first be used to pay off any outstanding loans and interest due. The remainder of the accelerated benefit will be paid to you in a lump sum. There is no charge for this rider.

Consider the following factors when deciding whether to accelerate the death benefit under this rider:

• Receipt of an accelerated payment under this rider reduces the policy's death benefit, surrender value and rider benefits by the percentage of eligible coverage that is accelerated. For example, if the accelerated payment is 75% of the eligible coverage, the new death benefit will be 25% of the death benefit proceeds just prior to acceleration;
• Accelerating the death benefit will not affect the amount of premium payable on the policy;
• No loans are permitted after this rider is exercised; and
• There may be tax consequences to requesting payment under this rider, and you should consult with a competent tax adviser for further information.

Certain limitations and restrictions are described in the rider. Additionally, the benefit may vary by state. You should consult your agent/registered representative as to whether and to what extent the rider is available in your particular state and on any particular policy.

Strategic Investor - 31

In the policy the "policy value" is referred to as the "Account Value"; the "fixed account value" is referred to as the "Account Value of the Guaranteed Interest Division"; the "variable account value" is referred to as the "Account Value of the Investment Options of the Separate Account"; and the "loan account value" is referred to as the "Account Value of the Loan Division."	Policy Value
	Your policy value equals the sum of your fixed account, variable account and loan account values. Your policy value reflects:
	The net premium applied to your policy; The fees and charges that we deduct; Any partial withdrawals you take; Interest earned on amounts allocated to the fixed account; The investment performance of the funds underlying the sub-accounts of the variable account; and Interest earned on amounts held in the loan account.
	Fixed Account Value
	Your fixed account value equals the net premium you allocate to the fixed account, plus interest earned, minus amounts you transfer out or withdraw. It may be reduced by fees and charges assessed against your policy value. See The Investment Options - The Fixed Account, page 12.
	Variable Account Value
	Your variable account value equals your policy value attributable to amounts invested in the sub-accounts of the variable account.
	Determining Values in the Sub-Accounts. The value of the amounts invested in the sub-accounts are measured by accumulation units and accumulation unit values. The value of each sub-account is the accumulation unit value for that sub-account multiplied by the number of accumulation units you own in that sub-account. Each sub-account has a different accumulation unit value.
	The accumulation unit value is the value determined on each valuation date. The accumulation unit value of each sub-account varies with the investment performance of its underlying fund. It reflects:
	Investment income; Realized and unrealized gains and losses; Fund expenses; and Taxes, if any.
	A valuation date is a date on which a fund values its shares and the New York Stock Exchange is open for business, except for days on which valuations are suspended by the SEC. Each valuation date ends at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time.
	You purchase accumulation units when you allocate premium or make transfers to a sub-account, including transfers from the loan account.
	We redeem accumulation units:
	When amounts are transferred from a sub-account (including transfers to the loan account); For the monthly deduction of the periodic fees and charges from your policy value; For policy transaction fees; When you take a partial withdrawal; If you surrender your policy; and To pay the death benefit proceeds.

32 - Strategic Investor

To calculate the number of accumulation units purchased or sold we divide the dollar amount of your transaction by the accumulation unit value for the sub-account calculated at the close of business on the valuation date of the transaction.
The date of a transaction is the date we receive your premium or transaction request at our customer service center, so long as the date of receipt is a valuation date. We use the accumulation unit value which is next calculated after we receive your premium or transaction request and we use the number of accumulation units attributable to your policy on the date of receipt.
We deduct the periodic fees and charges each month from your policy value on the monthly processing date. If your monthly processing date is not a valuation date, the monthly deduction is processed on the next valuation date.
The value of amounts allocated to the sub-accounts goes up or down depending on investment performance of the corresponding funds. There is no guaranteed minimum value of amounts invested in the sub-accounts of the variable account.
How We Calculate Accumulation Unit Values. We determine the accumulation unit value for each sub-account on each valuation date.
We generally set the accumulation unit value for a sub-account at $10 when the sub-account is first opened. After that, the accumulation unit value on any valuation date is:
The accumulation unit value for the preceding valuation date, multiplied by The sub-account's accumulation experience factor for the valuation period.
Every valuation period begins at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on a valuation date and ends at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the next valuation date.
We calculate an accumulation experience factor for each sub-account every valuation date as follows:
We take the net asset value of the underlying fund shares as reported to us by the fund managers as of the close of business on that valuation date; We add dividends or capital gain distributions declared and reinvested by the fund during the current valuation period; We subtract a charge for taxes, if applicable; and We divide the resulting amount by the net asset value of the shares of the underlying fund at the close of business on the previous valuation date.
Loan Account Value
When you take a loan from your policy we transfer an amount equal to your loan to the loan account as collateral for your loan. The loan account is part of our general account and we credit interest to the amount held in the loan account. Your loan account value is equal to your outstanding loan amount plus accrued interest in the loan account. See Special Features and Benefits - Loans, page 34.	In the policy the "loan account" is referred to as the "Loan Division."

Strategic Investor - 33

Special Features and Benefits

Refund of Sales Charges

If you surrender your policy within the first two policy years and your policy has not lapsed, we may refund a portion of the sales charges we previously deducted from your premium payments. In the first policy year, the amount of the refund will not be less than 3.00% of the premium we received. In the second policy year, the refund will not be less than 2.50% of the premium we received in the first policy year. The refund of sales charge is guaranteed only for the first two policy years. We reserve the right to extend the refund of sales charges beyond the first two policy years.

The refund of sales charge is not available if your policy was purchased with the proceeds of a policy issued by us or one of our affiliates. Also, the refund of sales charge is not available if your policy is surrendered to another insurer as part of a Section 1035 exchange.

Loans

You may borrow money from us at any time after the first policy month, by using your policy as collateral for the loan. Unless state law requires otherwise, a new loan amount must be at least $100 and the maximum amount you may borrow is limited to the net policy value of your policy minus the monthly periodic fees and charges to your next policy anniversary or the monthly periodic fees and charges for the next thirteen months if you take a loan within thirty days before your next policy anniversary.

Your loan request must be directed to our customer service center. When you request a loan you may specify the investment options from which the loan will be taken. If you do not specify the investment options, the loan will be taken proportionately from each active investment option you have, including the fixed account.

If you request an additional loan, we add the new loan amount to your existing loan. This way, there is only one loan outstanding on your policy at any time.

Loan Interest. We credit amounts held in the loan account with interest at an annual rate of 3.00%. Interest which we credit to the loan account becomes part of your loan account value until the next policy anniversary when it is transferred to the investment options according to your most recent allocation instructions.

We also charge interest on loans you take. The annual interest rate charged is 3.75% in policy years 1-10 and currently 3.00% in all years thereafter. Loans with this reduced interest rate are called preferred loans. Interest accrues daily but is due in arrears on each policy anniversary. If you do not pay the interest when it is due, we add it to your loan amount.

Loan Repayment. You may repay your loan at any time. We assume that payments you make, other than scheduled premium payments, are loan repayments. You must tell us if you want unscheduled payments to be premium payments.

When you make a loan repayment, we transfer an amount equal to your payment from the loan account to the sub-accounts and fixed account in the same proportion as your current premium allocation, unless you tell us otherwise.

34 - Strategic Investor

Effects of a Loan. Using your policy as collateral for a loan will effect your policy in various ways. You should carefully consider the following before taking a loan:

• If you do not make loan repayments your policy could lapse if your loan amount plus accrued interest is greater than your policy value;
• Taking a loan reduces your opportunity to participate in the investment performance of the sub-accounts and the interest guarantees of the fixed account;
• Accruing loan interest will change your policy value as compared to what it would have been if you did not take a loan;
• Even if you repay your loan, it will have a permanent effect on your policy value;
• If you use the continuation of coverage feature and you have a loan, loan interest continues to accrue and could cause your policy to lapse;
• If you do not repay your loan we will deduct any outstanding loan amount plus accrued loan interest from amounts payable under the policy; and
• Loans may have tax consequences and if your policy lapses with a loan outstanding, you may have further tax consequences. See TAX CONSIDERATIONS - Distributions Other than Death Benefits, page 42.

Transfers

You currently may make an unlimited number of transfers of your variable account value between the sub-accounts and to the fixed account. Transfers are subject to any conditions that we or the funds whose shares are involved may impose, including:

• If your state requires a refund of premium during the free look period, you may not make transfers until after your free look period ends;
• The minimum amount you may transfer is $100;
• If the amount remaining in the investment option after a transfer will be less than $100, we will transfer the entire amount;
• We may limit the number of transfers or restrict or refuse transfers because of excessive trading, as described below; and
• Any conditions or limits we impose on transfers will generally apply equally to all policy owners. However, we may impose different conditions or limits on third-parties, such as market timing services, acting on behalf of policy owners.

Transfers from the fixed account to the sub-accounts of the variable account may be made only during the first 30 days of each policy year and are limited to the greater of:

• 25% of your fixed account value at the time of the first such transfer in a policy year;
• The sum of the amounts transferred and withdrawn from the fixed account during the prior policy year; or
• $100.

We process all transfers and determine all values in connection with transfers on the next valuation date after we receive your request, except as described below for the dollar cost averaging or automatic rebalancing programs.

Dollar Cost Averaging. Anytime you have at least $10,000 invested in a sub-account which invests in either the ING Liquid Asset Portfolio or the Neuberger Berman AMT Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio (the "source sub-account"), you may elect dollar cost averaging. There is no charge for this feature.

Dollar cost averaging is a long-term investment program through which you direct us to automatically transfer at regular intervals a specific dollar amount or percentage of sub-account value from the source sub-account to one or more of the other sub-accounts. We do not permit transfers to the fixed account or the loan account under this program. You may request that the dollar cost averaging transfers occur on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis.

Strategic Investor - 35

This systematic plan of transferring policy values is intended to help reduce the risk of investing too much when the price of a fund's shares is high. It also helps reduce the risk of investing too little when the price of a fund's shares is low. Because you transfer the same dollar amount to the sub-accounts each period, you purchase more units when the unit value is low and you purchase fewer units when the unit value is high.

You may add dollar cost averaging to your policy at any time. The first dollar cost averaging date must be at least one day after we receive your dollar cost averaging request. If your state requires a refund of all premium received during the free look period, dollar cost averaging begins after the end of your free look period.

You may have both dollar cost averaging and automatic rebalancing at the same time. However, your dollar cost averaging source sub-account cannot be included in your automatic rebalancing program.

Dollar cost averaging does not assure a profit nor does it protect you against a loss in a declining market.

You may discontinue your dollar cost averaging program at any time. We reserve the right to discontinue, modify or suspend this program, and dollar cost averaging will automatically terminate on the date:

• You specify;
• Your balance in the source sub-account reaches a dollar amount you set; or
• Your balance in the source sub-account is equal to or less than the amount to be transferred. In this situation we will transfer the entire balance of the source sub-account to the other sub-accounts you have selected.

Automatic Rebalancing. Automatic rebalancing is a program for simplifying the process of asset allocation and maintaining a consistent allocation of your variable and fixed account values among your chosen investment options. There is no charge for this feature.

If you elect automatic rebalancing, we periodically transfer amounts among the investment options to match the asset allocation percentages you have chosen. This action rebalances the amounts in the investment options that do not match your set allocation percentages. This mismatch can happen if an investment option outperforms another investment option over the time period between automatic rebalancing transfers.

Automatic rebalancing may occur on the same day of the month on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. If you do not specify a frequency, automatic rebalancing will occur quarterly.

The first transfer occurs on the date you select (after your free look period if your state requires return of premium during the free look period). If you do not request a date, processing is on the last valuation date of the calendar quarter in which we receive your request.

You may have both automatic rebalancing and dollar cost averaging at the same time. However, the source sub-account for your dollar cost averaging program cannot be included in your automatic rebalancing program. You may not include the loan account.

Automatic rebalancing does not assure a profit nor does it protect you against a loss in a declining market.

36 - Strategic Investor

You may change your allocation percentages for automatic rebalancing at any time. Your allocation change is effective on the valuation date that we receive it at our customer service center. If you reduce the amount allocated to the fixed account, it is considered a transfer from that account. You must meet the requirements for the maximum transfer amount and time limitations on transfers from the fixed account.

You may discontinue your automatic rebalancing program at any time. We reserve the right to discontinue, modify or suspend this program.

Excessive Trading. Excessive trading activity can disrupt fund management strategies and increase fund expenses through:

• Increased trading and transaction costs;
• Forced and unplanned portfolio turnover;
• Lost opportunity costs; and
• Large asset swings that decrease the fund's ability to provide maximum investment return to all policy owners.

In response to excessive trading, we may restrict or refuse transfers, or restrict or refuse transfers made through a fax machine, the internet or over the telephone, including transfers made by third-parties, such as market timing services, acting on behalf of policy owners. We will take such actions when we determine, in our sole discretion, that transfers are harmful to the funds or to policy owners as a whole.

We will notify you in writing if we restrict or refuse any transfer because we have determined it to be harmful to the funds or policy owners as a whole.

Conversion to a Guaranteed Policy. During the first two policy years you may permanently convert your policy to a guaranteed policy, unless state law requires differently. If you elect to make this change, unless state law requires that we issue to you a new guaranteed policy, we will permanently transfer the amounts you have invested in the sub-accounts of the variable account to the fixed account and allocate all future net premium to the fixed account. After you exercise this right you may not allocate future premium payments or make transfers to the sub-accounts of the variable account. We do not charge for this change.

Partial Withdrawals

Beginning in the second policy year (or the first policy year for "in corridor" policies) you may withdraw part of your policy's surrender value. Twelve partial withdrawals are currently allowed each policy year, and a partial withdrawal must be at least $100. The maximum partial withdrawal you may take is the amount which leaves $500 as your net policy value (or for in corridor policies during the first policy year, the amount that would cause your policy to no longer qualify as "in corridor"). If your withdrawal request is for more than the maximum, we will require you to surrender your policy or reduce the amount of the withdrawal.

Strategic Investor - 37

A policy is "in corridor" if:

• Under death benefit option 1, your policy value plus refund of sales charges, if any multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A is greater than the amount of your basic insurance coverage;
• Under death benefit option 2, your policy value plus refund of sales charges, if any multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A is greater than your basic insurance coverage plus your policy value; or
• Under death benefit option 3, your policy value plus refund of sales charges, if any multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A is greater than your basic insurance coverage plus the sum of your premium payments minus partial withdrawals.

We charge a partial withdrawal fee of 2.00% of the amount withdrawn, up to $25 for each partial withdrawal. See Transaction Fees and Charges - Partial Withdrawal Fee, page 19.

Unless you specify a different allocation, we will take partial withdrawals from the fixed account and the sub-accounts of the variable account in the same proportion that your value in each has to your net policy value immediately before the withdrawal. We will determine these proportions at the end of the valuation period during which we receive your partial withdrawal request. However, amounts withdrawn from the fixed account may not exceed the amount of the total withdrawal multiplied by the ratio of your policy value in the fixed account to your net policy value immediately before the partial withdrawal.

Effects of a Partial Withdrawal. We will reduce your policy value by the amount of the partial withdrawal plus the partial withdrawal fee.

Under death benefit option 1, a partial withdrawal will reduce the amount of your basic insurance coverage by the amount of a partial withdrawal unless:

• No more than fifteen years have passed since your policy date;
• The insured person is younger than age 81; and
• The amount of the partial withdrawal is less than the greater of 10% of your policy value or 5% of the amount of your basic insurance coverage.

Any amount withdrawn in excess of the greater of 10% of your policy value or 5% of the amount of your basic insurance coverage will reduce the amount of your basic insurance coverage by that excess amount.

Under death benefit option 2, a partial withdrawal will not reduce the amount of your basic insurance coverage.

Under death benefit option 3, a partial withdrawal will reduce the amount of your basic insurance coverage by the amount of a partial withdrawal in excess of the total premium we have received from you minus the sum of all your prior partial withdrawals.

38 - Strategic Investor

Under death benefit option 3 if a partial withdrawal is more than the total premium we have received from you minus the sum of all your prior partial withdrawals, a two step process is used:
First, your withdrawal of the amount that makes the premium received minus all partial withdrawals equal to zero is taken, and Second, the excess withdrawal amount which you requested will reduce the amount of basic insurance coverage if:
The excess amount is greater than 10% of your policy value after step "1" above; or The excess amount is greater than 5% of your basic insurance coverage; and The insured person is younger than age 81; and No more than fifteen years have passed since your policy date.
If a partial withdrawal reduces the amount of basic insurance coverage, the total amount of insurance coverage will also be reduced for the current year and all future years by an equal amount. Therefore, a partial withdrawal can affect the amount of pure insurance protection under the policy.
We will not allow a partial withdrawal if the amount of total insurance coverage after the withdrawal would be less than $100,000 ($50,000 for guaranteed issue policies).
A reduction in the amount of basic insurance coverage as a result of a partial withdrawal will be pro-rated among the existing coverage segments, unless state law requires otherwise.
A partial withdrawal may have adverse tax consequences depending on the circumstances. See TAX CONSIDERATIONS - Tax Status of the Policy, page 41.
Termination of Coverage
Your insurance coverage will continue under the policy until you surrender your policy or it lapses.
Surrender
You may surrender your policy for its surrender value at any time after the free look period while the insured person is alive. Your surrender value is your policy value plus any refund of sales charge due minus any outstanding loan amount and accrued loan interest.	In the policy the "surrender value" is referred to as the "Net Cash Surrender Value."
You may take your surrender value in other than one payment.
We compute your surrender value as of the valuation date we receive your written surrender request and policy (or lost policy form) at our customer service center. All insurance coverage ends on the date we receive your surrender request and policy.
If you surrender your policy within the first two policy years, the surrender value may include a refund of a portion of the sales charges previously deducted. Surrender of your policy may have adverse tax consequences. See TAX CONSIDERATIONS - Distributions Other than Death Benefits, page 42.

Strategic Investor - 39

Lapse

Your policy will not lapse and your insurance coverage under the policy will continue if on any monthly processing date:

• Your net policy value is enough to pay the periodic fees and charges when due; or
• During the continuation of coverage period, your policy value exceeds your outstanding loan amount plus accrued loan interest.

Grace Period. If on a monthly processing date you do not meet any of these conditions, your policy will enter the 61-day grace period during which you must make a sufficient premium payment to avoid having your policy lapse and insurance coverage terminate.

We will notify you that your policy is in a grace period at least 30 days before it ends. We will send this notice to you (or a person to whom you have assigned your policy) at your last known address in our records. We will notify you of the premium payment necessary to prevent your policy from lapsing. This amount generally equals the past due charges, plus the estimated periodic fees and charges and charges of any optional rider benefits for the next two months. If we receive payment of the required amount before the end of the grace period, we apply it to your policy in the same manner as your other premium payments, then we deduct the overdue amounts from your policy value.

If you do not pay the full amount within the 61-day grace period, your policy and its riders lapse without value. We withdraw your remaining variable and fixed account values, deduct amounts you owe us and inform you that your coverage has ended.

If the insured person dies during the grace period we pay death benefit proceeds to your beneficiaries with reductions for your outstanding loan amount, accrued loan interest and periodic fees and charges owed.

If your policy lapses, any distribution of policy value may be subject to current taxation. See TAX CONSIDERATIONS - Distributions Other than Death Benefits, page 42.

Reinstatement

Reinstatement means putting a lapsed policy back in force. You may reinstate a lapsed policy and its riders by written request any time within five years after it has lapsed. A policy that was surrendered may not be reinstated.

To reinstate the policy and any riders, you must submit evidence of insurability satisfactory to us and pay a premium large enough to keep the policy and any rider benefits in force during the grace period and for at least two months after reinstatement. If you had a loan existing when coverage lapsed, we will reinstate it with accrued loan interest to the date of the lapse.

A policy that is reinstated more than 90 days after lapsing will be classified as a modified endowment contract for tax purposes. See Distributions Other Than Death Benefits - Modified Endowment Contracts, page 43.

The following summary provides a general description of the federal income tax considerations associated with the policy and does not purport to be complete or to cover federal estate, gift and generation-skipping tax implications, state and local taxes or other tax situations. This discussion is not intended as tax advice. Counsel or other competent tax advisers should be consulted for more complete information. This discussion is based upon our understanding of the present federal income tax laws. No representation is made as to the likelihood of continuation of the present federal income tax laws or as to how they may be interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS").

The following discussion generally assumes that the policy will qualify as a life insurance contract for federal tax purposes.

Tax Status of the Company

We are taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. The variable account is not a separate entity from us. Therefore, it is not taxed separately as a "regulated investment company," but is taxed as part of the company. We automatically apply investment income and capital gains attributable to the separate account to increase reserves under the policy. Because of this, under existing federal tax law we believe that any such income and gains will not be taxed. In addition, any foreign tax credits attributable to the separate account will first be used to reduce any income taxes imposed on the variable account before being used by the company.

We do not expect that we will incur any federal income tax liability attributable to the variable account and we do not intend to make provisions for any such taxes. However, if changes in the federal tax laws or their interpretation result in our being taxed in income or gains attributable to the variable account, then we may impose a charge against the variable account (with respect to some or all of the policies) to set aside provisions to pay such taxes.

Tax Status of the Policy

This policy is designed to qualify as a life insurance contract under the Internal Revenue Code. All terms and provisions of the policy shall be construed in a manner which is consistent with that design. In order to qualify as a life insurance contract for federal income tax purposes and to receive the tax treatment normally accorded life insurance contracts under federal tax law, a policy must satisfy certain requirements which are set forth in Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code. While there is very little guidance as to how these requirements are applied, we believe it is reasonable to conclude that our policies satisfy the applicable requirements. If it is subsequently determined that a policy does not satisfy the applicable requirements, we will take appropriate and reasonable steps to bring the policy into compliance with such requirements and we reserve the right to restrict policy transactions or modify your policy in order to do so.

Section 7702 provides that if one of two alternate tests is met, a policy will be treated as a life insurance policy for federal income tax purposes. These tests are referred to as the "cash value accumulation test" and the "guideline premium test."

We will at all times strive to assure that the policy meets the statutory definition which qualifies the policy as life insurance for federal income tax purposes. See TAX CONSIDERATIONS - Tax Treatment of Policy Death Benefits, page 42.

Diversification and Investor Control Requirements

In addition to meeting the Internal Revenue Code Section 7702 tests, Internal Revenue Code Section 817(h) requires separate account investments, such as our variable account, to be adequately diversified. The Treasury has issued regulations which set the standards for measuring the adequacy of any diversification. To be adequately diversified, each sub-account must meet certain tests. If your variable life policy is not adequately diversified under these regulations, it is not treated as life insurance under Internal Revenue Code Section 7702. You would then be subject to federal income tax on your policy income as you earn it. Each sub-account's corresponding fund has represented that it will meet the diversification standards that apply to your policy.

In certain circumstances, owners of a variable life insurance policy have been considered, for federal income tax purposes, to be the owners of the assets of the separate account supporting their policies, due to their ability to exercise investment control over their assets. When this is the case, the policy owners have been currently taxed on income and gains attributable to the separate account assets.

Your ownership rights under your policy are similar to, but different in some ways from those described by the IRS in rulings in which it determined that policy owners are not owners of separate account assets. For example, you have additional flexibility in allocating your premium payments and in your policy values. These differences could result in the IRS treating you as the owner of a pro rata share of the variable account assets. We do not know what standards will be set forth in the future, if any, in Treasury regulations or rulings. We reserve the right to modify your policy, as necessary, to try to prevent you from being considered the owner of a pro rata share of the variable account assets, or to otherwise qualify your policy for favorable tax treatment.

Tax Treatment of Policy Death Benefits

We believe that the death benefit, or an accelerated death benefit, under a policy is generally excludable from the gross income of the beneficiary(ies) under section 101(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code. However, there are exceptions to this general rule. Additionally, federal and local transfer, estate inheritance and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of policy proceeds depend on the circumstances of each policy owner or beneficiary(ies). A tax adviser should be consulted about these consequences.

Distributions Other than Death Benefits

Generally, the policy owner will not be taxed on any of the policy value until there is a distribution. When distributions from a policy occur, or when loan amounts are taken from or secured by a policy, the tax consequences depend on whether or not the policy is a "modified endowment contract."

42 - Strategic Investor

Modified Endowment Contracts

Under the Internal Revenue Code, certain life insurance contracts are classified as "modified endowment contracts" and are given less favorable tax treatment than other life insurance contracts. Due to the flexibility of the policies as to premiums and benefits, the individual circumstances of each policy will determine whether or not it is classified as a modified endowment contract. The rules are too complex to be summarized here, but generally depend on the amount of premiums we receive during the first seven policy years. Certain changes in a policy after it is issued, such as reduction in benefits, could also cause it to be classified as a modified endowment contract. A current or prospective policy owner should consult with a competent adviser to determine whether or not a policy transaction will cause the policy to be classified as a modified endowment contract.

If a policy becomes a modified endowment contract, distributions that occur during the policy year will be taxed as distributions from a modified endowment contract. In addition, distributions from a policy within two years before it becomes a modified endowment contract will be taxed in this manner. This means that a distribution made from a policy that is not a modified endowment contract could later become taxable as a distribution from a modified endowment contract.

Additionally, all modified endowment contracts that are issued by us (or our affiliates) to the same policy owner during any calendar year are treated as one modified endowment contract for purposes of determining the amount includible in the policy owner's income when a taxable distribution occurs.

Once a policy is classified as a modified endowment contract, the following tax rules apply both prospectively and to any distributions made in the prior two years:

• All distributions other than death benefits, including distributions upon surrender and withdrawals, from a modified endowment contact will be treated first as distributions of gain taxable as ordinary income and as tax-free recovery of the policy owner's investment in the policy only after all gain has been distributed. The amount of gain in the policy will be equal to the difference between the policy's value and the investment in the policy;
• Loan amounts taken from or secured by a policy classified as a modified endowment contract are treated as distributions and taxed first as distributions of gain taxable as ordinary income and as tax-free recovery of the policy owner's investment in the policy only after all gain has been distributed; and
• A 10% additional income tax penalty may be imposed on the distribution amount subject to income tax. This tax penalty generally does not apply to distributions (a) made on or after the date on which the taxpayer attains age 59 ½, (b) which are attributable to the taxpayer's becoming disabled (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code), or (c) which are part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the taxpayer or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the taxpayer and his or her beneficiary. Consult a tax adviser to determine whether or not you may be subject to this penalty tax.

Strategic Investor - 43

Policies That Are Not Modified Endowment Contracts

Distributions other than death benefits from a policy that is not classified as a modified endowment contract are generally treated first as a recovery of the policy owner's investment in the policy. Only after the recovery of all investment in the policy, is there taxable income. However, certain distributions made in connection with policy benefit reductions during the first fifteen policy years may be treated in whole or in part as ordinary income subject to tax. Consult a tax adviser to determine whether or not any reduction in policy benefits will be subject to tax.

Loan amounts from or secured by a policy that is not a modified endowment contract are generally not taxed as distributions. However, the tax consequences of preferred loans are uncertain and a tax adviser should be consulted about such loans. Finally, neither distributions from, nor loan amounts from or secured by, a policy that is not a modified endowment contract are subject to the 10% additional income tax.

Special rules also apply if you are subject to the alternative minimum tax. You should consult a tax adviser if you are subject to the alternative minimum tax.

Investment in the Policy

Your investment in the policy is generally the total of your aggregate premiums. When a distribution is taken from the policy, your investment in the policy is reduced by the amount of the distribution that is tax free.

Other Tax Matters

Policy Loans

In general, interest on a loan will not be deductible. Moreover, the tax consequences associated with a preferred loan available in the policy are uncertain. Before taking out a loan, you should consult a tax adviser as to the tax consequences.

If a loan from a policy is outstanding when the policy is surrendered or lapses, then the amount of the outstanding indebtedness will be added to the amount treated as a distribution from the policy and will be taxed accordingly.

Accelerated Death Benefit Rider

We believe that payments under the accelerated death benefit rider should be fully excludable from the gross income of the beneficiary if the beneficiary is the insured under the policy. (See Automatic Rider Benefits - Accelerated Death Benefit Rider on page 31 for more information about this rider.) However, you should consult a qualified tax adviser about the consequences of adding this rider to a policy or requesting payment under this rider.

Continuation of a Policy Beyond Age 100

The tax consequences of continuing the policy beyond the policy anniversary nearest the insured person's 100^th birthday are unclear. You should consult a tax adviser if you intend to keep the policy in force beyond the policy anniversary nearest the insured person's 100^th birthday.

44 - Strategic Investor

Section 1035 Exchanges

Internal Revenue Code Section 1035 provides, in certain circumstances, that no gain or loss will be recognized on the exchange of one life insurance policy for another life insurance policy or an endowment or annuity contract. We accept 1035 exchanges with outstanding loans. Special rules and procedures apply to 1035 exchanges. These rules can be complex, and if you wish to take advantage of Section 1035, you should consult your tax adviser.

Tax-exempt Policy Owners

Special rules may apply to a policy that is owned by a tax-exempt entity. Tax-exempt entities should consult their tax adviser regarding the consequences of purchasing and owning a policy. These consequences could include an effect on the tax-exempt status of the entity and the possibility of the unrelated business income tax.

Tax Law Changes

Although the likelihood of legislative action is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the policy could be changed by legislation or otherwise. You should consult a tax adviser with respect to legislative developments and their effect on the policy.

Policy Changes to Comply with the Law

So that your policy continues to qualify as life insurance under the Internal Revenue Code, we reserve the right to refuse to accept all or part of your premium payments or to change your death benefit. We may refuse to allow you to make partial withdrawals that would cause your policy to fail to qualify as life insurance. We also may make changes to your policy or its riders or take distributions from your policy to the degree that we deem necessary to qualify your policy as life insurance for tax purposes.

If we make any change of this type, it applies the same way to all affected policies.

Any increase in your death benefit will cause an increase in your cost of insurance charges.

Policy Availability and Qualified Plans

The policy is not available for sale to and cannot be acquired with funds that are assets of (i) an employee benefit plan as defined in section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and that is subject to Title I of ERISA; (ii) a plan described in section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code; or (iii) an entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of the investment by an employee benefit plan or other plan in such entity within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3 101 or otherwise.

Strategic Investor - 45

Life Insurance Owned by Businesses

In recent years, Congress has adopted new rules relating to life insurance owned by businesses. Any business contemplating the purchase of a new policy or a change in an existing policy should consult a tax adviser.

Income Tax Withholding

The IRS requires us to withhold income taxes from any portion of the amounts individuals receive in a taxable transaction. We do not withhold income taxes if you elect in writing not to have withholding apply. If the amount withheld for you is insufficient to cover income taxes, you may have to pay income taxes and possibly penalties later.

Policy Transfers

The transfer of the policy or designation of a beneficiary may have federal, state and/or local transfer and inheritance tax consequences, including the imposition of gift, estate and generation-skipping transfer taxes. For example the transfer of the policy to, or the designation as a beneficiary of, or the payment of proceeds to a person who is assigned to a generation which is two or more generations below the generation assignment of the policy owner may have generation skipping transfer tax consequences under federal tax law. The individual situation of each policy owner or beneficiary will determine the extent, if any, to which federal, state and local transfer and inheritance taxes may be imposed and how ownership or receipt of policy proceeds will be treated for purposes of federal, state and local estate, inheritance, generation skipping and other taxes.

You should consult qualified legal or tax advisers for complete information on federal, state, local and other tax considerations.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

General Policy Provisions

Your Policy

The policy is a contract between you and us and is the combination of:

• Your policy;
• A copy of your original application and applications for benefit increases or decreases;
• Your riders;
• Your endorsements;
• Your policy schedule pages; and
• Your reinstatement applications.

If you make a change to your coverage, we give you a copy of your changed application and new policy schedules. If you send your policy to us, we attach these items to your policy and return it to you. Otherwise, you need to attach them to your policy.

Unless there is fraud, we consider all statements made in an application to be representations and not guarantees. We use no statement to deny a claim, unless it is in an application.

A president or other officer of our company and our secretary or assistant secretary must sign all changes or amendments to your policy. No other person may change its terms or conditions.

Guaranteed Issue

We may offer policies on a guaranteed issue basis for certain individuals, groups or sponsored arrangements. We issue these policies up to a preset face amount with reduced evidence of insurability. Guaranteed issue policies carry a different mortality risk compared with policies that are fully underwritten, and we may charge different cost of insurance rates for guaranteed issue policies. The cost of insurance rates under these circumstances may depend on the:

• Issue age of the insured person; and
• Risk class of the insured person.

Generally, most guaranteed issued policies have higher overall charges for insurance than similar underwritten policies issued in the standard rate classes. This means that an insured person in a group or sponsored arrangement could get individual, simplified or fully underwritten insurance coverage at a lower overall cost.

Age

We issue your policy at the insured person's age (stated in your policy schedule) based on the nearest birthday to the policy date. On the policy date, the insured person can generally be no more than age 85 (age 70 for guaranteed issue or simplified underwritten policies).

Strategic Investor - 47

We often use age to calculate rates, charges and values. We determine the insured person's age at a given time by adding the number of completed policy years to the age calculated at issue and shown in the schedule.

Ownership

The original owner is the person named as the owner in the policy application. The owner can exercise all rights and receive benefits during the life of the insured person. These rights include the right to change the owner, beneficiaries or the method designated to pay death benefit proceeds.

As a matter of law, all rights of ownership are limited by the rights of any person who has been assigned rights under the policy and any irrevocable beneficiaries.

You may name a new owner by giving us written notice. The effective date of the change to the new owner is the date the prior owner signs the notice. However, we will not be liable for any action we take before a change is recorded at our customer service center. A change in ownership may cause the prior owner to recognize taxable income on gain under the policy.

Beneficiaries

You, as owner, name the beneficiaries when you apply for your policy. The primary beneficiaries who survive the insured person receive the death benefit proceeds. Other surviving beneficiaries receive death benefit proceeds only if there is no surviving primary beneficiaries. If more than one beneficiary survives the insured person, they share the death benefit proceeds equally, unless you specify otherwise. If none of your policy beneficiaries has survived the insured person, we pay the death benefit proceeds to you or to your estate, as owner.

You may name new beneficiaries during the insured person's lifetime. We pay death benefit proceeds to the beneficiaries whom you have most recently named according to our records. We do not make payments to multiple sets of beneficiaries. The designation of certain beneficiaries may have tax consequences. See TAX CONSIDERATIONS - Other Tax Matters, page 44.

Collateral Assignment

You may assign your policy by sending written notice to us. After we record the assignment, your rights as owner and the beneficiaries' rights (unless the beneficiaries were made irrevocable beneficiaries under an earlier assignment) are subject to the assignment. It is your responsibility to make sure the assignment is valid. The transfer or assignment of a policy may have tax consequences. See TAX CONSIDERATIONS - Other Tax Matters, page 44.

Incontestability

After your policy has been in force and the insured person is alive for two years from the policy date and from the effective date of any new coverage segment, an increase in any other benefit or reinstatement, we will not question the validity of statements in your applicable application.

48 - Strategic Investor

Misstatements of Age or Gender

Notwithstanding the Incontestability provision above, if the insured person's age or gender has been misstated, we adjust the death benefit to the amount which would have been purchased for the insured person's correct age and gender. We base the adjusted death benefit on the cost of insurance charges deducted from your policy value on the last monthly processing date before the insured person's death, or as otherwise required by law.

If unisex cost of insurance rates apply, we do not make any adjustments for a misstatement of gender.

Suicide

If the insured person commits suicide (while sane or insane), within two years of your policy date, unless otherwise required by law, we limit death benefit proceeds to:

• The total premium we receive to the time of death; minus
• Outstanding loan account value plus accrued loan interest; minus
• Partial withdrawals taken.

We make a limited payment to the beneficiaries for a new coverage segment or other increase if the insured person commits suicide (while sane or insane), within two years of the effective date of a new coverage segment or within two years of an increase in any other benefit, unless otherwise required by law. The limited payment is equal to the cost of insurance and periodic fees and charges which were deducted for the increase.

Anti-Money Laundering

In order to protect against the possible misuse of our products in money laundering or terrorist financing, we have adopted an anti-money laundering program satisfying the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act. Among other things, this program requires us, our agents and customers to comply with certain procedures and standards that serve to assure that our customers' identities are properly verified and that premiums are not derived from improper sources.

Under our anti-money laundering program, we may require policy owners, insured persons and/or beneficiaries to provide sufficient evidence of identification, and we reserve the right to verify any information provided to us by accessing information databases maintained internally or by outside firms.

We may also limit the types of premium payments (traveler's checks, for example) or the amount of certain types of premium payments (money orders totaling more than $5,000, for example) that we will accept.

Our anti-money laundering program is subject to change without notice to take account of changes applicable in laws or regulations and our ongoing assessment of our exposure to illegal activity.

Transaction Processing

Generally, within seven days of when we receive all information required to process a payment, we pay:

• Death benefit proceeds;
• Surrender value;
• Partial withdrawals; and
• Loan proceeds.

Strategic Investor - 49

We may delay processing these transactions if:

• The New York Stock Exchange is closed for trading;
• Trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted by the SEC;
• There is an emergency so that it is not reasonably possible to sell securities in the sub-accounts or to determine the value of a sub-account's assets; and
• A governmental body with jurisdiction over the variable account allows suspension by its order.

SEC rules and regulations generally determine whether or not these conditions exist.

We execute transfers among the sub-accounts as of the valuation date of our receipt of your request at our customer service center.

We determine the death benefit as of the date of the insured person's death. The death benefit proceeds are not affected by subsequent changes in the value of the sub-accounts.

We may delay payment from our fixed account for up to six months, unless law requires otherwise, of surrender proceeds, withdrawal amounts or loan amounts. If we delay payment more than 30 days, we pay interest at our declared rate (or at a higher rate if required by law) from the date we receive your complete request.

Notification and Claims Procedures

Except for certain authorized telephone requests, we must receive in writing any election, designation, change, assignment or request made by the owner.

You must use a form acceptable to us. We are not liable for actions taken before we receive and record the written notice. We may require you to return your policy for changes to your policy or if you surrender it.

If the insured person dies while your policy is in force, please let us know as soon as possible. We will send you instructions on how to make a claim. As proof of the insured person's death, we may require proof of the deceased insured person's age and a certified copy of the death certificate.

The beneficiaries and the deceased insured person's next of kin may need to sign authorization forms. These forms allow us to get information such as medical records of doctors and hospitals used by the deceased insured person.

Telephone Privileges

Telephone privileges are automatically provided to you and your agent/registered representative, unless you decline it on the application or contact our customer service center. Telephone privileges allow you or your agent/registered representative to call our customer service center to:

• Make transfers;
• Change premium allocations;
• Change your dollar cost averaging and automatic rebalancing programs;
• Request partial withdrawals; and
• Request a loan.

50 - Strategic Investor

Our customer service center uses reasonable procedures to make sure that instructions received by telephone are genuine. These procedures may include:

• Requiring some form of personal identification;
• Providing written confirmation of any transactions; and
• Tape recording telephone calls.

By accepting telephone privileges, you authorize us to record your telephone calls with us. If we use reasonable procedures to confirm instructions, we are not liable for losses from unauthorized or fraudulent instructions. We may discontinue this privilege at any time.

Telephone and facsimile privileges may not always be available. Telephone or fax systems, whether yours, your service provider's or your agent's, can experience outages or slowdowns for a variety of reasons. These outages or slowdowns may prevent or delay our receipt of your request. Although we have taken precautions to help our systems handle heavy use, we cannot promise complete reliability under all circumstances. If you are experiencing problems, you should make your transfer request by written request.

Non-participation

Your policy does not participate in the surplus earnings of Security Life of Denver Insurance Company.

Advertising Practices and Sales Literature

We may use advertisements and sales literature to promote this product, including:

• Articles on variable life insurance and other information published in business or financial publications;
• Indices or rankings of investment securities; and
• Comparisons with other investment vehicles, including tax considerations.

We may use information regarding the past performance of the sub-accounts and funds. Past performance is not indicative of future performance of the sub-accounts or funds and is not reflective of the actual investment experience of policy owners.

We may feature certain sub-accounts, the underlying funds and their managers, as well as describe asset levels and sales volumes. We may refer to past, current, or prospective economic trends, and, investment performance or other information we believe may be of interest to our customers.

Settlement Options

You may elect to take the surrender value in other than one lump-sum payment. Likewise, you may elect to have the beneficiaries receive the death benefit proceeds other than in one lump-sum payment, if you make this election during the insured person's lifetime. If you have not made this election, the beneficiaries may do so within 60 days after we receive proof of the insured person's death.

The investment performance of the sub-accounts does not affect payments under these settlement options. Instead, interest accrues at a fixed rate based on the option you choose. Payment options are subject to our rules at the time you make your selection. Currently, a periodic payment must be at least $20 and the total proceeds must be at least $2,000.

Strategic Investor - 51

The following settlement options are available:

• Option 1 - The proceeds and interest are paid in equal installments for a specified period until the proceeds and interest are all paid;
• Option 2 - The proceeds provide an annuity payment with a specified number of months. The payments are continued for the life of the primary payee. If the primary payee dies before the certain period is over, the remaining payments are paid to a contingent payee;
• Option 3 - The proceeds are left with us to earn interest. Withdrawals and any changes are subject to our approval;
• Option 4 - The proceeds and interest are paid in equal installments of a specified amount until the proceeds and interest are all paid; and
• Option 5 - Other options we offer at the time we pay the benefit.

If none of these settlement options have been elected, your surrender value or the death benefit proceeds will be paid in one lump-sum payment. Unless you request otherwise, death benefit proceeds generally will be paid into an interest bearing account which can be accessed through the use of a checking account provided to the beneficiaries. Interest earned on this account may be less than interest paid on other settlement options.

Reports

Annual Statement. We will send you an annual statement once each policy year showing the amount of insurance coverage under your policy as well as your policy's death benefit, policy and surrender values, the amount of premiums you have paid, the amounts you have withdrawn, borrowed or transferred and the fees and charges we have imposed since the last statement.

We send semi-annual reports with financial information on the funds, including a list of investment holdings of each fund.

We send confirmation notices to you throughout the year for certain policy transactions such as partial withdrawals and loans.

Illustrations. To help you better understand how your policy values will vary over time under different sets of assumptions, we will provide you with a personalized illustration projecting future results based on the age and risk classification of the insured person and other factors such as the amount of insurance coverage, death benefit option, planned premiums and rates of return (within limits) you specify. We may assess a charge not to exceed $25 for each illustration you request after the first in a policy year. See Transaction Fees and Charges - Excess Illustration Fee, page 19.

An example of a personalized illustration is included as Appendix C to this prospectus. This form of illustration is available on request. There may be state-specific product features that make the illustrations applicable to you differ from the form of illustration shown in Appendix C. Subject to regulatory approval, personalized illustrations may be based upon a weighted average of fund expenses rather than an arithmetic average.

Other Reports. We will mail to you at your last known address of record at least annually a report containing such information as may be required by any applicable law. To reduce expenses, only one copy of most financial reports and prospectuses, including reports and prospectuses for the funds, will be mailed to your household, even if you or other persons in your household have more than one policy issued by us or an affiliate. Call our customer service center at 1-877-886-5050 if you need additional copies of financial reports, prospectuses, historical account information or annual or semi-annual reports or if you would like to receive one copy for each policy in all future mailings.

Legal Proceedings

[To be updated by amendment.]

The variable account is not a party to any pending legal proceedings.

We are a defendant in various lawsuits and arbitration proceedings in connection with the normal conduct of our insurance operations. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of such litigation/arbitration will not have a material adverse impact to our financial position. It should be noted, however, that a number of financial services companies have been subjected to significant awards in connection with punitive damages claims and we can make no assurances that we will not be subjected to such an award. The defense of pending litigation/arbitration may require the commitment of substantial internal resources and the retention of legal counsel and expert advisers.

ING America Equities, Inc., the principal underwriter and distributor of the policy, is not engaged in any litigation of any material nature.

Cash Value Accumulation Test Factors

The cash value accumulation test factors vary depending on the age and gender of the insured person.

Generally, the cash value accumulation test requires that a policy's death benefit must be sufficient so that the policy value does not at any time exceed the net single premium required to fund the policy's future benefits. The net single premium for a policy is calculated using a 4.00% interest rate and the 1980 Commissioner's Standard Ordinary Mortality Table and will vary according to the age and gender of the insured person. The factors for the cash value accumulation test are then equal to 1 divided by the net single premium per dollar of paid up whole life insurance for the applicable age and gender.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND HISTORY

Security Life of Denver Insurance Company (the "company," "we," "us," "our") issues the policy described in the prospectus and is responsible for providing each policy's insurance benefits. We are a stock life insurance company organized in 1929 and incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V. ("ING"), a global financial institution active in the fields of insurance, banking and asset management. ING is headquartered in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. We are engaged in the business of issuing insurance policies. Our headquarters is at 1290 Broadway, Denver, Colorado 80203-5699.

We established the Security Life Separate Account L1 (the "variable account") on November 3, 1993, as one of our separate accounts under the laws of the State of Colorado for the purpose of funding variable life insurance policies issued by us. The variable account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Premium payments may be allocated to one or more of the available sub-accounts of the variable account. Each sub-account invests in shares of a corresponding fund at net asset value. We may make additions to, deletions from or substitutions of available funds as permitted by law and subject to the conditions of the policy.

Other than the policy owner fees and charges described in the prospectus, all expenses incurred in the operations of the variable account are borne by the company. We do, however, receive compensation for certain recordkeeping, administration or other services from the funds or affiliates of the funds available through the policies. See "Fees and Charges" in the prospectus.

The company maintains custody of the assets of the variable account. As custodian, the company holds cash balances for the variable account pending investment in the funds or distribution. The funds in whose shares the assets of the sub-accounts of the variable account are invested each have custodians, as discussed in the respective fund prospectuses.

DISTRIBUTION OF THE POLICIES

The company's affiliate, ING America Equities, Inc., serves as the principal underwriter (distributor) for the policies. ING America Equities, Inc. was organized under the laws of the State of Colorado on September 27, 1993 and is registered as a broker/dealer with the SEC and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. We pay ING America Equities, Inc. under a distribution agreement dated May 1, 2002. ING America Equities, Inc.'s principal office is located at 1290 Broadway, Denver, Colorado 80203-5699.

ING America Equities, Inc. offers the securities under the policies on a continuous basis.

For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, the aggregate amount paid to ING America Equities under our distribution agreement was $XX,XXX,XXX, $XX,XXX,XXX and $XX,XXX,XXX, respectively.

We sell our policies through licensed insurance agents who are registered representatives of affiliated and unaffiliated broker/dealers. A description of the manner in which the policies are purchased may be found in the prospectus under the section entitled "Purchasing a Policy."

2

All broker/dealers who sell this policy have entered into selling agreements with us. Under these selling agreements, we pay a distribution allowance to broker/dealers, who in turn pay commissions to their agents/registered representatives who sell this policy. We may make loans to agents/registered representatives, or advance commissions in anticipation of future receipt of premiums (a form of lending to agents/registered representatives). These loans may have advantageous terms, such as interest rate reduction and/or principal forgiveness, that may be conditioned on insurance sales.

The policy has two structures for the distribution allowance, but the structure does not affect fees or charges on your policy.

Under the first structure, the distribution allowance is up to 12% of the target premium we receive in years one through ten and a lower percentage thereafter. For premium over target we pay less.

Under the second structure, the distribution allowance is up to 30% of the first target premium we receive in policy year one and a lower percentage thereafter. For premium over target we pay less.

Broker/dealers receive renewal commissions (trails) of up to 0.15% of the average net policy value in policy years 2-20 and a lower rate thereafter under the first structure. There is no trail commission paid under the second structure.

We pay wholesaler fees and marketing and training allowances. We may provide repayments or make sponsor payments for broker/dealers to use in sales contests for their registered representatives. We do not hold contests directly based on sales of this product. We do hold training programs from time to time at our own expense. We pay dealer concessions, wholesaling fees, other allowances and the costs of all other incentives or training programs from our resources which include sales charges.

PERFORMANCE REPORTING AND ADVERTISING

Information regarding the past, or historical performance of the sub-accounts of the variable account and the funds available for investment through the sub-accounts of the variable account may appear in advertisements, sales literature or reports to policy owners or prospective purchasers. Such performance information for the sub-accounts will reflect deductions of fund expenses but will not reflect deductions for the fees and charges of the policy or any charges for optional insurance benefits. If the deduction of the policy fees and charges were reflected in the calculations, they would significantly decrease the level of performance shown. We may accompany quotations of performance information for the sub-accounts with performance information for the corresponding funds. Performance information for the funds will take into account all fees and charges applicable at the underlying fund level, but will not reflect any deductions from the corresponding sub-account of the variable account of any policy fees and charges or any charges for optional insurance benefits.

3

Performance information reflects only the performance of a hypothetical investment during a particular time period in which the calculations are based. We may provide performance information showing total returns and average annual total returns for periods prior to the date a sub-account commenced operation. We will calculate such performance information based on the assumption that the sub-accounts were in existence for the same periods as those indicated for the funds, with the level of charges at the variable account level that were in effect at the inception of the sub-accounts.

Investment results of the funds will fluctuate over time and any presentation of past performance should not be considered as a representation of what may be achieved in the future.

To help you better understand how your policy's death benefits, policy value and surrender value will vary over time under different sets of assumptions, we encourage you to obtain a personalized illustration. Personalized illustrations will assume deductions for fund expenses and policy and variable account charges. We will base these illustrations on the age and risk classification of the insured person and other factors such as the amount of insurance coverage, death benefit option, premiums and rates of return (within limits) you specify. These personalized illustrations will be based on either a hypothetical investment return of the funds of 0% and other percentages not to exceed 12% or on the actual historical experience of the funds as if the sub-accounts had been in existence and a policy issued for the same periods as those indicated for the funds. Subject to regulatory approval, personalized illustrations may be based upon a weighted average of fund expenses rather than an arithmetic average. A personalized illustration is available upon request by contacting our Customer Service Center at P.O. Box 173888 Denver, CO 80217-3888 or by calling 1-877-253-5050.

We may compare performance of the sub-accounts and/or the funds as reported from time to time in advertisements and sales literature to other variable life insurance issuers in general; to the performance of particular types of variable life insurance policies investing in mutual funds; or to investment series of mutual funds with investment objectives similar to each of the sub-accounts, whose performance is reported by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. ("Lipper") and Morningstar, Inc. ("Morningstar") or reported by other series, companies, individuals or other industry or financial publications of general interest, such as Forbes, Money, The Wall Street Journal, Business Week, Barron's, Kiplinger's and Fortune. Lipper and Morningstar are independent services which monitor and rank the performances of variable life insurance issuers in each of the major categories of investment objectives on an industry-wide basis.

Lipper's and Morningstar's rankings include variable annuity issuers as well as variable life insurance issuers. The performance analysis prepared by Lipper and Morningstar ranks such issuers on the basis of total return, assuming reinvestment of distributions, but does not take sales charges, redemption fees or certain expense deductions at the separate account level into consideration. We may also compare the performance of each sub-account in advertising and sales literature to the Standard & Poor's Index of 500 common stocks and the Dow Jones Industrials, which are widely used measures of stock market performance. We may also compare the performance of each sub-account to other widely recognized indices. Unmanaged indices may assume the reinvestment of dividends, but typically do not reflect any "deduction" for the expense of operating or managing an investment portfolio.

Item 30	Indemnification (To be updated by amendment)
Section 7-109-107 of the Colorado Revised Statutes (the "CRS") provides that a corporation may provide indemnification of or advance expenses to a "director" (defined as an individual who is or was a director of a corporation or an individual who, while a director of a corporation, is or was serving at the corporation's request as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, fiduciary, or agent of another domestic or foreign corporation or other person or of an employee benefit plan and includes, unless the context requires otherwise, the estate or personal representative of a director) only as permitted by Sections 7-109-102 to 7-109-106, inclusive, of the CRS. These statutes provide in general that Colorado corporations shall, except to the extent that their articles of incorporation expressly provide otherwise, indemnify their directors against "liability" (defined as the obligation to pay a judgment, settlement, penalty, fine, including an excise tax assessed with respect to a proceeding) when (1) a determination is made pursuant to Section 7-109-102 that the party seeking indemnification has met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 7-109-102; or (2) a court has determined that indemnification is appropriate pursuant to Section 7-109-105. Under Section 7-109-106, the determination of and authorization for indemnification are made (1) by the disinterested directors, as defined in Section 7-109-106(2)(a); (2) by independent counsel as defined in Section 7-109-106(3)(a); or (3) by the shareholders. Authorization of indemnification and advance of expenses shall be made in the same manner as the determination that indemnification or advance of expenses is permissible; except that, if the determination that indemnification or advance of expenses is permissible is made by independent legal counsel, authorization of indemnification and advance of expenses shall be made by the body that selected such counsel. Also, Section 7-109-103 provides that a corporation shall indemnify a person who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with a proceeding to which he was a party because he was a director of the corporation. Pursuant to Section 7-109-102(4), in the case of a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation or in the case of any other proceeding in which the director was adjudged liable on the basis that he received an improper personal benefit to which he was not entitled, indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding against the corporation to which the individual was named a party.
Pursuant to Section 7-109-108, a corporation may procure indemnification insurance on behalf of an individual who was a director of the corporation. Consistent with the statute, ING Groep N.V. has procured insurance from Lloyd's of London and several major United States and international excess insurers for its director and officers and the directors and officers of its subsidiaries, including the Depositor.
Section XVIII of the ING America Equities, Inc. (INGAE) Distribution Agreement provides the INGAE will indemnify and hold harmless certain persons against any loss, damage, claim or expenses (including legal fees) incurred by such person if he is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to a suit or proceeding because he was an officer, director or employee of INGAE, as long as he acted in good faith on behalf of INGAE and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of his authority. An additional condition requires that no person shall be entitled to indemnity if his loss, damage, claim or expense was incurred by reason of his gross negligence or willful misconduct.
