Performance shown represents past performance only. Past performance is not an estimate or guarantee of future performance. Your contract value and the actual investment return of the subaccounts will fluctuate in response to market conditions and the specific portfolios you choose so that your contract, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the amount of your purchase payments. Please refer to the section of the prospectus entitled "Policy Benefits and Risks Summary" for a description of the relationship between investment performance and contract benefits. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance quoted above.

Additional information about Intelligent Life Variable Universal Life and Intelligent Life Survivorship Variable Universal Life coverage, fees and expenses
You pay premiums for insurance coverage. Expenses deducted from Policy value include charges for cost of insurance, policy fee, mortality and expense risk charge and a premium tax charge. See the prospectus and other information available on this website for detailed information about the policy's benefits, risks and expenses. You may allocate premiums and Policy value to one or more Policy subaccounts and the assets are then invested in a corresponding underlying portfolio. Each portfolio has a different investment objective which will affect its return and its risk.

Performance and portfolio information available on this website may not reflect all, policy and portfolio expenses which, if considered, would result in performance shown being lower. Please refer to the section of the prospectus entitled "Policy Benefits and Risks Summary" for a description of the relationship between investment performance and contract benefits.

For time periods pre-dating the Subaccount Inception Date but not the Fund Inception Date, hypothetical performance is shown based upon the Fund Inception Date, applying contract charges assessed at the Separate Account level to approximate the performance the subaccount would have achieved. The performance shown reflects fees and charges assessed by each subaccount's underlying Fund and current mortality & expense risk and administrative risk charges deducted from separate account assets. Some Fund advisors have agreed to limit their expenses; without these limits, performance would have been lower. The returns shown do not reflect the individual cost of insurance or premium taxes levied by some states. Had these fees and charges been deducted, the performance quoted would have been lower.

Before purchasing a Variable Life contract, you should obtain an illustration of values that reflects all charges applicable to your contract. Your registered representative can provide you with a personalized illustration. The current yield more closely reflects the account's current earnings than does the total return.

  1. A note about new fund names:

    The Janus Aspen Perkins Mid Cap Value Portfolio-Institutional Shares was formally known as the Janus Aspen Mid Cap Value Portfolio-Institutional Shares.

    The Janus Aspen Overseas Portfolio-Institutional Shares was formally known as the Janus Aspen International Growth Portfolio.

    The Credit Suisse Trust-U.S. Equity Flex I Portfolio was formally known as the Credit Suisse Small-Cap Core I Portfolio.

    The Credit Suisse Trust-International Equity Flex II Portfolio was formally known as the Credit Suisse Global Small-Cap Portfolio.

  2. The TIAA-CREF Life Money Market Fund, as in other funds, is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other U.S. government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund. The current yield more closely reflects the account's current earnings than does the total return.
  3. The Fixed Account's minimum rate is based on TIAA-CREF Life's claims-paying ability.
