As situations change, so will the business's life insurance needs. Care should be taken to ensure these strategies and products are suitable for the business's and the client's long-term goals. Weigh the business's objectives, time horizon and risk tolerance as well as any associated costs before investing. Also, be aware that market volatility can lead to the possibility of the need for additional premium in the policy. Variable life insurance has fees and charges associated with it, which include costs of insurance, underlying fund expenses and administration fees. Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal.

Variable life insurance has fees and charges associated with it that include costs of insurance that vary with such characteristics of the insured as gender, health and age, underlying fund charges and expenses, and additional charges for riders that customize a policy to fit their individual needs. Variable products are sold by prospectus. You can obtain the product prospectus and underlying fund prospectuses by writing to Nationwide Life Insurance Company, P.O. Box 182021, Columbus, OH 43218-2021. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus carefully and consider investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. The product prospectus and underlying fund prospectus contain this and other important information.

Loans and withdrawals will reduce the death benefit. Most distributions will be taxed on a first-in/first-out basis, as long as the contract is not a modified endowment contract (MEC) according to Section 7702A of the Internal Revenue Code. Loans from a MEC are generally taxable and subject to a 10% tax penalty if taken before age 59 1/2. If the policy lapses with a loan outstanding, it will be treated as a distribution and some or all of the amount may be taxable.

Guarantees and protections are subject to Nationwide's claims-paying ability. They do not apply to the investment performance or safety of the underlying investment options.

Investment products are not FDIC-insured, may lose value and have no bank guarantee.
