Fixed Account
The Fixed Account invests in the General Account of NYLIAC and credits the assets of this account with a fixed interest rate.
- Minimum guaranteed interest rate is 3%.
- The current interest rate is set by NYLIAC and is subject to change daily. Interest rates will be set in advance and become effective no later than the next day. All fixed account money (including any applied to or transferred to the Fixed Account) receives the current interest rate. Different rates may apply to loaned and unloaned funds.
Transfers
Your personal financial objectives may change and your investment
division allocations under your NYLIAC SPVUL policy can change with
you. Transfers among Investment Divisions are easy and tax-free.
There is no limit on the amount of money you can transfer between Investment Divisions.5 The minimum amount of a transfer is the lesser of $500 or the balance in the Investment Division or the Fixed Account. See Prospectus for additional limits on transfers.
Limits may apply to the maximum amount that can be transferred to and/or from the Fixed Account.
Loans
You can take policy loans equal to 90% of the policy's cash surrender value.6
Loans will reduce the policy's cash surrender value and the death
benefit and can cause the death benefit guarantee to terminate. Other
limits and conditions apply; consult the Prospectus for details.
Withdrawals
The minimum policy withdrawal is $500, and is deducted from the policy's cash surrender value.6
In any policy year, you can take Surrender Charge Free partial
withdrawals up to a maximum of 10% of the total premiums paid or 100%
of the policy's gain (Cash Value less total premiums paid), whichever
is greater.
Policy Charges and Expenses
Premium Tax Charges
- State Tax Charge of 2% is deducted from each premium payment
- A Federal Tax Charge of 1.25% is deducted from each premium payment
Monthly Charges
- A Deferred Sales Expense (DSE) Charge is deducted monthly for a 10-year period following the effective date of any premium payment. Charges are .40% annually (.50% guaranteed) of the account value after the monthly cost of insurance charges have been deducted.7
- A Monthly Administrative Charge is taken equal to .60% on an annual basis (.70% guaranteed) of the annual account value less the cost of insurance charges. Beginning in the 4th policy year, the administrative charge is banded — the greater your cash value, the lower the administrative charge.
Monthly Insurance Charge
Cost of Insurance charges are deducted monthly. Actual cost depends on
the insured's attained age, gender, underwriting class and net amount
at risk.8
Mortality and Expense Risk Charge
-
Current
.50% -
Guaranteed Maximum
.80%
A monthly charge deducted from the policy's cash value allocated to the Investment Divisions.
Annual Fund Charges
Advisory fees and other expenses are deducted from the assets in the
portfolio of the Investment Divisions. Consult the Prospectus for a
breakdown of the different Investment Divisions' total annual expenses.
Surrender Charges
- If you surrender the policy during the first nine policy years, a surrender charge will be deducted from the cash value. A surrender charge can also apply to partial surrenders. The maximum surrender charge is based on the initial single premium. Information on a particular policy's maximum surrender charge is shown on the policy's data page.
- In any policy year, we allow Surrender Charge Free withdrawals equal to the greater of 10% of the total premiums paid or 100% of the gain (Cash value less total premiums paid).
Policy Features
Automatic Asset Reallocation (AAR)
Maintains a pre-selected percentage of the Investment Division(s) you
have selected. Automatic Asset Reallocation is available on any policy
with cash value of $2,500 or more.9
Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA)
Transfers money from one Investment Division to another based on your
standing instructions. Dollar Cost Averaging is available on any policy
with a cash value of $2,500 or more.9
You specify how much money to transfer to, from where, and how often. Each transfer will be confirmed in a statement detailing the transaction(s).
Dollar Cost Averaging does not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets. It involves continuous investing regardless of price levels, so you should consider your financial ability to continue purchasing during periods of low price levels.
Expense Allocation (EA)
Enables you to choose how to allocate the monthly deduction charges.10
You can instruct that certain policy charges be deducted from the
MainStay VP Cash Management Investment Division, the Fixed Account, or
both.
If the value in either or both accounts you have designated is insufficient to pay the charges, or if you do not choose how to allocate the deduction charges, we will deduct as much of the charges as possible and the remainder will be deducted proportionately from each of the Investment Divisions.
Interest Sweep (IS)
Periodically transfers any interest earned in the Fixed Account to the
Investment Division(s) you specify. To elect this option, the cash
value of the Fixed Account must be at least $2,500.
You can specify the starting date, the frequency of the transfers and the percentages to be transferred to each Investment Division.

There are two riders available with SPVUL and both are included at no
additional charge. Detailed rider information can be found in the

5 We reserve the right to charge for each transfer after the first 12
transfers in a policy year. Transfers under the Dollar Cost Averaging,
Automatic Asset Reallocation and Interest Sweep options will not count
toward the limit but will count toward maximum allowable transfer
limit. However, transfers from the Fixed Account to the Investment
Divisions cannot exceed the greater of 20% or $5,000. Additionally,
your right to make transfers under the policy is subject to
modification if we determine, in our sole opinion, that the exercise of
that right will disadvantage or potentially hurt the rights of other
policyowners. See Prospectus for additional information.
