Summary Prospectus for New Investors

May 1, 2026

This summary prospectus (the "Summary Prospectus") summarizes key features of the contract. Before you invest, you should also review the statutory prospectus (the "prospectus") for the contract, which contains more information about the contract's features, benefits, and risks. You can find this document and other information about the contract online at www.equitable.com/ICSR#EQH146648. You can also obtain this information at no cost by calling 1-877-522-5035, by sending an email request to [email protected], or by calling your financial intermediary.

The EQUI-VEST® (Series 100-500) contracts are variable and fixed deferred annuity contracts offered as nonqualified annuity contracts for after-tax contributions and individual retirement annuity contracts. This Summary Prospectus only describes EQUI-VEST® (Series 100-500). The contracts provide for the accumulation of retirement savings and for income. The contracts offer death benefit protection as well. They also offer a number of payout options.

You invest to accumulate value on a tax-deferred basis in one or more of our investment options: (i) variable investment options, (ii) our guaranteed interest option, (iii) the dollar cost averaging (the "DCA program") or (iv) our fixed maturity options (collectively, the "investment options"). See Appendix "Investment options available under the contract" in the prospectus.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has not approved or disapproved these securities or passed upon the adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The contract is a complex investment that involves risks, including potential loss of principal and previously credited interest. You should speak with a financial professional about the features, benefits, risks, and fees and whether the contract is appropriate for you based on your financial situation and objectives.

The contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. Withdrawals could result in withdrawal charges, negative contract adjustments, taxes, and tax penalties. A market value adjustment will apply to withdrawals, transfers, surrender of your contract, or when we make deductions for charges from a fixed maturity option before the maturity date. The actual amount of the Market Value Adjustment is determined by a formula that depends on, among other things, the difference between the rate to maturity that applies to the amount being withdrawn and the rate to maturity in effect at that time for new allocations to that same fixed maturity option, and the length of time remaining until the maturity date. It is theoretically possible that you could lose up to 100% of your investment and previously credited interest in certain extreme scenarios.

All guarantees are subject to the Company's financial strength and claims paying ability.

You may cancel your contract within 10 days of receiving it without paying fees or penalties. In some states, this cancellation period may be longer. Upon cancellation, you will receive either a full refund of the amount you paid with your application or your account value. You should review the prospectus, or consult with your investment professional, for additional information about the specific cancellation terms that apply.

We reserve the right to stop accepting any application or contribution from you at any time, including after you purchase the contract. If you have one or more guaranteed benefits and we exercise our right to discontinue the acceptance of, and/or place additional limitations on, contributions to the contract, you may no longer be able to fund your guaranteed benefit(s). This means that if you have already funded your guaranteed benefits, you may no longer be able to increase your account value or guaranteed benefits.

Additional information about certain investment products, including variable annuities, and fixed annuities with market value adjustments, has been prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission's staff and is available at Investor.gov.

Overview of the contract

Purpose of the Contract

The contract is designed to help you accumulate assets through investments in underlying Portfolios, the guaranteed interest option and the fixed maturity options during the accumulation phase. It can provide or supplement your retirement income by providing a stream of income payments during the annuity phase. It also provides death benefits to protect your beneficiaries and living benefits to protect your access to income. The contract may be appropriate if you have a long-term investment horizon. It is not intended for people who may need to access invested funds within a short-term timeframe or frequently, or who intend to engage in frequent transfers of the underlying Portfolios.

Phases of the Contract

The contract has two phases: an accumulation (savings) phase and an income (annuity) phase.

Accumulation (Savings) Phase

During the accumulation phase, you can allocate your contributions to one or more of the available investment options, which include:

• Variable investment options;
• Guaranteed interest option;
• Fixed maturity options; and
• Rebalancing and Dollar Cost Averaging options.

For additional information about each investment option see Appendix: "Investment options available under the contract".

Income (Annuity) Phase

You enter the income phase when you annuitize your contract. During the income phase, you will receive a stream of fixed income payments for the annuity payout period of time you elect. You can elect to receive annuity payments (1) for life; (2) for life with a certain minimum number of payments; (3) for life with a certain minimum number of payments to the beneficiary upon the death of the annuitant; or (4) for life with a certain amount of payment. Please note that when you annuitize, your investments are converted to income payments and you will no longer be able to make any additional withdrawals from your contract. All accumulation phase benefits, including any death benefit, terminate upon annuitization and the contract has a maximum annuity commencement date.

Contract Features

The contract provides for the accumulation of retirement savings and income. The contract offers income, death benefit protection and offers various payout options.

Death Benefit

Your contract includes a minimum death benefit that pays your beneficiaries an amount equal to at least your contributions less adjusted withdrawals.

Rebalancing and Dollar Cost Averaging

You can elect to have your account value automatically rebalanced at no additional charge. We offer two rebalancing programs that you can use to automatically reallocate your account value among your account variable investment options and the guaranteed interest option. You can also elect to allocate your investments using a dollar cost averaging program at no additional charge. Generally, you may not elect both a dollar cost averaging program and a rebalancing option.

Access to Your Money

During the accumulation phase you can take withdrawals from your contract up to 10% of your account value without paying a withdrawal charge. Withdrawals will reduce your account value and may be subject to withdrawal charges and income taxes, as well as a tax penalty. Withdrawals may also reduce your death benefit (possibly on a greater than dollar-for-dollar basis).

Contract Adjustments

If you make any withdrawals (including transfers, surrender or termination of your contract, or when we make deductions for charges) from a fixed maturity option before it matures, we will make a market value adjustment, which will increase or decrease any fixed maturity amount you have in that fixed maturity option. The amount of the adjustment will depend on two factors:

(a)

the difference between the rate to maturity that applies to the amount being withdrawn and the rate to maturity in effect at that time for new allocations to that same fixed maturity option, and

(b)

the length of time remaining until the maturity date.

In general, if interest rates rise from the time that you originally allocate an amount to a fixed maturity option to the time that you take a withdrawal, the market value adjustment will be negative. Likewise, if interest rates drop at the end of that time, the market value adjustment will be positive. Also, the amount of the market value adjustment, either up or down, will be greater the longer the time remaining until the fixed maturity option's maturity date. Therefore, it is possible that the market value adjustment could greatly reduce your value in the fixed maturity options, particularly in the fixed maturity options with later maturity dates.

Important information you should consider about the contract

FEES, EXPENSES, AND ADJUSTMENTS
Are There Charges or Adjustments for Early Withdrawals?

Yes. If you surrender your contract, apply your cash value to a non-life contingent annuity payment option, or withdraw money from the contract within 12 years following your last contribution, you will be assessed a withdrawal charge of up to 6% of account value withdrawn or contributions withdrawn. For example, if you make a withdrawal in the first year, you could pay a withdrawal charge of up to $6,000 on a $100,000 investment. This loss will be greater if there is a negative market value adjustment, and/or if you have to pay taxes, or tax penalties.

If amounts are removed from a fixed maturity option before the maturity date, there will be a market value adjustment which could greatly reduce the value in your fixed maturity option theoretically by up to 100% in extreme situations. For example, if you allocate $100,000 to a fixed maturity option and later withdraw the entire amount before the maturity date, you could lose up to $100,000 of your investment. This loss will be greater if you also have to pay a withdrawal charge, taxes and tax penalties. A market value adjustment will apply to withdrawals, transfers, surrender of your contract, or when we make deductions for charges from a fixed maturity option before the maturity date.

For additional information about the charges for surrenders and early withdrawals see "Withdrawal charge" in "Charges under the contracts" under "Charges, expenses, and adjustments" in the prospectus.

Are There Transaction Charges?

Yes. In addition to withdrawal charges and market value adjustments, you may also be charged for other transactions for special requests such as wire transfers, express mail, duplicate contracts, preparing checks or third-party transfers or exchanges.

For additional information about transaction charges see "Charges under the contracts" in "Charges, expenses, and adjustments" in the prospectus.

Are There Ongoing Fees and Expenses?

Yes. The contract provides for different ongoing fees and expenses. The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay each year, depending on the investment options and optional benefits you choose. Please refer to your contract specifications page of your contract for information about the specific fees you will pay each year based on the investment options you have elected.

Annual Fee Minimum Maximum
Base Contracts(1) 1.34% 2.00%
Portfolio Company fees and expenses(2) 0.54% 3.04%

(1)  Expressed as an annual percent of daily net assets in the variable investment options.

(2)  Expressed as an annual percentage of daily net assets in the Portfolio. This range is for the year ended December 31, 2025 and could change from year to year.

Because your contract is customizable, the choices you make affect how much you will pay. To help you understand the cost of owning your contract, the following table shows the lowest and highest cost you could pay each year, based on current charges. This estimate assumes that you do not take withdrawals from the contract, which could add withdrawal charges and market value adjustments that substantially increase costs.

RISKS
Is There a Risk of Loss from Poor Performance?

Yes. The contract is subject to the risk of loss. You could lose some or all of your account value, depending on the investment options you choose. For additional information about the risk of loss see "Principal risks of investing in the contract" in the prospectus.

Is this a Short-Term Investment?

No. The contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash because the contract is designed to provide for the accumulation of retirement savings and income on a long-term basis. As such, you should not use the contract as a short-term investment or savings vehicle. A withdrawal charge may apply in certain circumstances and any withdrawals may also be subject to federal and state income taxes and tax penalties.

For additional information about the investment profile of the contract see "Fee table" in the prospectus.

What Are the Risks Associated with the Investment options?

An investment in the contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the investment options available under the contract, (e.g., the Portfolios). Each investment option, including the guaranteed interest option and fixed maturity options has its own unique risks. You should review the investment options before making an investment decision.

For additional information about the risks associated with investment options see "Fixed investment options", "Guaranteed interest option" and "Portfolios of the Trusts" in "Purchasing the contract" in the prospectus, as well as, "Risks associated with the variable investment options", and "Risks associated with the fixed maturity options" in "Principal Risks of investing in the contract. "See also Appendix: "Investment options available under the contract" in the prospectus.

What Are the Risks Related to the Insurance Company?

An investment in the contract is subject to the risks related to the Company. The Company is solely responsible to the contract owner for the contract's account value and the optional benefits. The general obligations including the guaranteed interest option, fixed maturity options and any optional benefits under the contract are supported by our general account and are subject to our claims paying ability. An owner should look solely to our financial strength for our claims-paying ability. More information about the Company, including our financial strength ratings, may be obtained at www.equitable.com/about-us/financial-strength-ratings.

For additional information about insurance company risks see "About the general account" in "More information" in the prospectus.

RESTRICTIONS
Are There Restrictions on the Investment Options?

Yes. We may, at any time, exercise our rights to limit or terminate your contributions, allocations and transfers to any of the variable investment options and to limit the number of variable investment options which you may select. Such rights include, among others, removing or substituting the Portfolios, combining any two or more variable investment options and transferring the account value from any variable investment option to another variable investment option.

Effective June 18, 2012, for certain contract series and types, we no longer accept contributions. For other contract series and types, including contracts issued in certain states, we currently continue to accept subsequent contributions subject to limitations. For more information, see "How you can contribute to your contract" in "Purchasing the contract" and Appendix: "State contract availability and/or variations of certain features and benefits" in the prospectus.

There are limits on contributions and transfers into and out of the guaranteed interest option, and restrictions or limitations with the DCA program. See "Allocating your contributions" in "Purchasing the Contract" and "Transferring your account value" in "Transferring your money among investment options in the prospectus" for more information.

For more information see "About the Separate Account" in "More information" in the prospectus.

You must choose one of the two investment methods: 1) Maximum investment option choice, or 2) Maximum transfer flexibility. For more information please see "Selecting your investment method" in the prospectus.

We will not accept allocations to a fixed maturity option if on the date the contribution or transfer is to be applied the rate to maturity is 3%. This means that at points in time there may be no fixed maturity options available. You can allocate your contributions to one or more of these fixed maturity options. However, you may not allocate more than one contribution to any one fixed maturity option.

Contributions and transfers into and out of the guaranteed interest option are limited.

RESTRICTIONS

For additional information about restrictions on investment options, see "Portfolios of the Trusts", "Guaranteed interest option", and "Fixed maturity options" in "Purchasing the Contract" and "Transferring your money among investment options" in the prospectus.

Are There Any Restrictions on Contract Benefits?

Yes. At any time, we have the right to limit or terminate your contributions, allocations and transfers to any of the investment options.

This contract includes a standard death benefit. Withdrawals could significantly reduce or terminate the death benefit.

For additional information about the optional benefits see "Benefits available under the contract" in the prospectus.

TAXES
What are the Contract's Tax Implications?

You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in, and payments received under, the contract. There is no additional tax benefit to you if the contract is purchased through a tax-qualified plan or individual retirement account (IRA). Withdrawals will be subject to ordinary income tax and may be subject to tax penalties. Generally, you are not taxed until you make a withdrawal from the contract.

For more information, see "Tax information" in the prospectus.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
How are Investment Professionals Compensated?

Some financial professionals may receive compensation for selling the contract to you, both in the form of commissions or in the form of contribution-based compensation. Financial professionals may also receive additional compensation for enhanced marketing opportunities and other services (commonly referred to as "marketing allowances"). This conflict of interest may influence the financial professional to recommend this contract over another investment.

For additional information about compensation to financial professionals see "Distribution of the contracts" in "More information" in the prospectus.

Should I Exchange My Contract?

Some financial professionals may have a financial incentive to offer a new contract in place of the one you already own. You should only exchange your contract if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both contracts, as well as any fees or penalties to terminate your existing contract, that it is preferable to purchase the new contract rather than continue to own your existing contract.

For additional information about exchanges see "Charge for third-party transfer or exchange" in "Charges, expenses, and adjustments" in the prospectus.

Buying the Contract

You may purchase a contract by making payments to us that we call "contributions." We can refuse to accept an application from you or any contribution from you at any time, including after you purchase the contract. We require a minimum contribution amount for each type of contract purchased. Maximum contribution limitations also apply.

Minimum initial and subsequent contribution amounts

The minimum initial contribution is generally $20 for each type of contract. Subsequent contributions are allowed up to a certain maximum contribution limit.

Limitations on contributions to the contract

We reserve the right to refuse to accept any contribution under the contract at any time or change our contribution limits and requirements. This means that if you have one or more Guaranteed benefits and we exercise our right to discontinue the acceptance of contributions to the contract you may no longer be able to fund your Guaranteed benefits. This means that you may no longer be able to increase your Guaranteed benefits.

When initial and subsequent contributions are credited

Initial Contribution

Your initial contribution must generally be accompanied by an application and any other form we need to process the contribution. If your application is in good order when we receive it for application processing purposes, your contribution will be applied within two business days. If any information is missing or unclear, we will hold the contribution, whether received via check or wire, in a non-interest bearing suspense account while we try to obtain that information. If we are unable to obtain all of the information we require within five business days after we receive an incomplete application or form, we will inform the financial professional submitting the application on your behalf. We will then return the contribution to you unless you specifically direct us to keep your contribution until we receive the required information.

Subsequent Contributions

If we receive a subsequent contribution before the close of the NYSE (typically 4:00 pm eastern), we will credit that contribution that day. If we receive your subsequent contribution after the close of the NYSE, your contribution will be applied the next business day.

Additional limitations on contributions to the contract

Additional limitations on contributions and the source of contributions apply based on the type of contract. Please see the tables in the "How you can contribute to your contract" in "Purchasing the Contract" to the prospectus for detailed information. You can obtain the prospectus by calling the number or accessing the website noted on the first page of this summary prospectus.

7

Making Withdrawals: Accessing the Money in Your Contract

Accessing your money

You have several ways to withdraw your account value before annuity payments begin. Depending on your type of contract, you may generally take partial withdrawals from your contract at any time or, depending on your specific situation, set up an automatic payment plan, a systematic withdrawal plan, a substantially equal withdrawals plan or a lifetime RMD payments plan. Additionally, you may take a loan (if permitted by your Plan). You may also surrender your contract to receive its cash value at any time. If we receive a withdrawal or surrender request in good order before the close of the NYSE (typically 4:00 pm eastern), we will process the request that day. If we receive the request after the close of the NYSE, we will process the request on the next business day. We will generally send you the full requested withdrawal amount and deduct any applicable withdrawal charges from account value unless your request otherwise.

Withdrawals will reduce your account value and may be subject to withdrawal charges, income taxes and a tax penalty. Withdrawals may also reduce (possibly on a greater than dollar-for-dollar basis) or terminate any optional guaranteed benefits. Surrenders also may be subject to withdrawal charges, income taxes and a tax penalty if you are younger than 59 12.

Please see "Accessing your money" in the prospectus for more information on the ways you may withdraw your account value.

Free withdrawal amount

Each contract year you can withdraw a certain amount from your contract without paying a withdrawal charge.

When to expect payments

Generally, we will fulfill requests for payments out of the variable investment options within seven calendar days after the date of the transaction to which the request relates. These transactions may include applying proceeds to a variable annuity payout option, payment of a death benefit, payment of any amount you withdraw (less any withdrawal charge) and, upon surrender or termination, payment of the cash value.

8

Additional Information About Fees

The following tables describe the fees, expenses, and adjustments that you will pay when buying, owning, and surrendering, or making withdrawals from an investment option or from the contract. Please refer to your contract specifications page for information about the specific fees you will payeach year based on the investment options you have elected.

The first table describes fees and expenses that you will pay at the time that you buy the contract, surrender the contract, make certain withdrawals from an investment option or from the contract, or transfer account value between investment options. Charges designed to approximate certain taxes that may be imposed on us, such as premium taxes in your state, may also apply.

Transaction Expenses
Sales Load Imposed on Purchases (as a percentage of purchase payments) None
Withdrawal Charge (as a percentage of contributions withdrawn)(1) 6.00%
Transfer Fee None
Third Party Transfer or Exchange Fee(2) $65
Special Service Charges(3) $90
(1)

The charge percentage is deducted upon a withdrawal of amounts in excess of the 10% free withdrawal amount. Important exceptions and limitations may eliminate or reduce this charge. For a complete description of withdrawal charges, please see "Withdrawal Charge" in "Charges, expenses, and adjustments" in this prospectus. See Appendix, "State contract availability and/or variations of certain features and benefits" in the prospectus for more information.

(2)

This charge will never exceed 2% of the amount disbursed or transferred.

(3)

Unless you specify otherwise, this charge will be deducted from the amount you request. Special service charges include (1) express mail charge; and (2) wire transfer charge. The current maximum charge for each service is $90. We may discontinue these services at any time.

The next table describes the adjustments, in addition to any transaction expenses, that apply if all or a portion of the account value is removed from an investment option or from the contract before the expiration of a specified period.

Adjustments
Fixed Maturity Option Maximum Potential Loss Due to Market Value Adjustment (as a percentage of Account value withdrawn from the Fixed Maturity Option)(1) 100%
(1)

A market value adjustment will apply to withdrawals, transfers, surrender of your contract, or when we make deductions for charges from a fixed maturity option before the maturity date. The actual amount of the Market Value Adjustment is determined by a formula that depends on, among other things, the difference between the rate to maturity that applies to the amount being withdrawn and the rate to maturity in effect at that time for new allocations to that same fixed maturity option, and the length of time remaining until the maturity date. In general, the maximum loss would occur if there is a total distribution for a fixed maturity option a significant time prior to the maturity date and interest rates have risen dramatically from the time that you originally allocate an amount to the fixed maturity option to the time that you take the withdrawal. See "Fixed maturity options" under "Purchasing the contract" for more information.

The next table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay each year during the time that you own the contract (not including Portfolio fees and expenses).

Annual Contract Expenses
Annual Administrative Charge(1) $65
Base Contract Expenses(2) (as a percentage of daily net assets in the variable investment options) 2.00%
(1)

The annual administrative charge is deducted from your account value on each contract date anniversary. The current charge is $30. If the contract is surrendered or annuitized or a death benefit is paid on any date other than the contract date anniversary, we will deduct a pro rata portion of the administrative charge for that year. For series 300, 400 and 500 contracts, during the first two contract years this charge, if it applies, is equal to the lesser of $30 or 2% of your account value, plus any amounts previously withdrawn during the contract year. Thereafter, the charge is $30 for each contract year. For series 100 and 200 contracts, the charge is equal to the lesser of $30 or 2% of your account value, plus any amounts previously withdrawn during the contract year. We may discontinue these services at any time.

(2)

The current Base Contract Expenses for Series 100 and 200 are: current charge 1.40% and maximum 1.49% for EQ/Common Stock and EQ/Money Market Options. For all other investment options the current charge and maximum is 1.34% for Series 100 and 200. For Series 300 the current charge is 1.34% and the maximum is 1.35%. For Series 400 the current charge is 1.34% and the maximum is 2.00%. For Series 500 the current charge is 1.45% and maximum is 2.00%.

The next item shows the minimum and maximum total operating expenses charged by the underlying Portfolios that you may pay periodically during the time that you own the contract. Expenses shown may change over time and may be higher or lower in the future. A complete list of Portfolios available under the contract, including their annual expenses, may be found at the back of this document. See "Appendix: Investment options available under the contract."

Annual Portfolio Expenses Minimum Maximum
Annual Portfolio Expenses prior to Expense Limitation Arrangement (expenses that are deducted from Portfolio assets including management fees, 12b-1 fees, service fees and/or other expenses)* 0.54 % 3.04 %
*

"Annual Portfolio Expenses" may be based, in part, on estimated amounts of such expenses. The expenses listed are for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Examples

These Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the variable investment options with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts that offer variable investment options. The costs include transaction expenses, annual contract expenses, and annual Portfolio expenses.

These Examples assume all account value is allocated to the variable investment options. The examples do not reflect market value adjustments. Your costs could differ from those shown below if you invest in the fixed maturity options.

These examples assume that you invest $100,000 in the variable investment options for the time periods indicated. The Examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year and assumes the most expensive combination of annual Portfolio expenses and optional benefits available at their maximum charge.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:
