FEES AND EXPENSES

Charges for Early
Withdrawals
|
There are surrender charges assessed upon surrender, policy lapse or any
reduction in Base Face Amount in the first ten policy years from the Policy
Date. The maximum surrender charge is 12.80% of Base Face Amount. For
example, if the Base Face Amount is $100,000, the highest possible
surrender charge would be $12,800.

In addition to surrender charges and transaction charges, you will also be
subject to certain ongoing fees and expenses, including a cost of insurance
charge, administrative charge, Base Face Amount charge, asset-based risk
charge, policy loan costs, and supplementary benefit rider charges. Some of
these fees and expenses are based wholly or in part on the characteristics of
the insured person (e.g., age, sex, and underwriting classification).
You should view the "policy specifications" page of your policy for rates

PRINCIPAL RISKS OF
INVESTING IN A
POLICY
|
|
Not a Short- Term
Investment
|
This policy is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for
an investor who needs ready access to cash. The policy is unsuitable
as a short-term savings vehicle because of substantial policy-level
charges, including the premium charge and the surrender charge, as
well as potential adverse tax consequences from such short-term use.
|
Early Surrender or
Withdrawal Risk/Not a
Short-Term Investment
|
|
Risks Associated with
Investment Options
|
An investment in this policy is subject to the risk of poor
performance and can vary depending on the performance of the
account allocation options available under the policy (e.g.,
portfolios). Each such option (including the fixed account) will have
its own unique risks, and you should review these options before
making an allocation decision. You can find the prospectuses and
other information about the portfolios at
dfinview.com/JohnHancock/PUFT/PVUL_NY.
|
Investment Risk/Risk of
Loss
|
|
Insurance Company
Risks
|
Your investment in the policy is subject to risks related to John
Hancock NY, including that the obligations (including under the
fixed account option), guarantees, or benefits are subject to the
claims-paying ability of John Hancock NY. Information about John
Hancock NY, including its financial strength ratings, is available
upon request from your John Hancock NY representative. Our
current financial strength ratings can also be obtained by contacting
the Service Office at 1-800-732-5543.

Policy Lapse
|
Unless the No-Lapse Guarantee feature is in effect, this policy will
go into default if at the beginning of any policy month the policy's
net cash surrender value would be zero or below after deducting the
monthly deductions then due. The "net cash surrender value" is your
policy value, less any policy debt, and less any applicable surrender
charges. This can happen as a result of insufficient premium
payments, poor performance of the variable or general account
options you have chosen, withdrawals, or unpaid loans or loan
interest. If a default is not cured within a 61-day grace period, your
policy will lapse without value, and no death benefit or other benefits
will be payable. You can apply to reinstate a policy that has gone into
default, subject to conditions including payment of a specified
amount of additional premiums.

Lapse and
Reinstatement
|
|
RESTRICTIONS
|
||
|
Investments
|
There are restrictions that may limit the variable investment account
options and general account options (including the fixed account)
that you may choose, as well as limitations on the transfer of policy
value among those options. These restrictions may include a monthly
limit on the number of transfers you may make. We may also impose
additional restrictions to discourage market timing and disruptive
trading activity.
In particular, your allocation options will be affected if you elect to
take a loan or receive benefits under certain supplementary benefit
riders.
Among other things, the policy also allows us to eliminate the shares
of a portfolio or substitute shares of another new or existing
portfolio, subject to applicable legal requirements.

Optional Benefits
|
There are restrictions and limitations relating to optional benefits, as
well as conditions under which an optional benefit may be modified
or terminated by us. For example, certain supplementary benefit
riders may be subject to underwriting, and your election of an option
may result in restrictions upon some of the policy benefits, including
availability of investment options.

TAXES

|
Tax Implications
|
You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax
implications of an investment in and payments received under the
policy. There is no additional tax benefit to you if the policy is
purchased through a tax-qualified plan. If we pay out any amount of
your policy value upon surrender or partial withdrawal, all or part of
that distribution would generally be treated as a return of the
premiums you've paid and not subjected to income tax, with any
portion not treated as a return of your premiums includible in your
income. Distributions also are subject to tax penalties under some
circumstances. If your policy is a modified endowment contract,
distributions, including policy loans, are treated as coming first from
the gain in the policy and are includible in your income.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

|
Investment Professional
Compensation
|
Some investment professionals may receive compensation for selling
the policy, including by means of commissions and revenue sharing
arrangements. These investment professionals may have a financial
incentive to offer or recommend this policy over another investment.
|
Commissions Paid to
Dealers
|
|
Exchanges
|
Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to
offer you a new policy in place of the one you already own, and you
should only exchange your policy if you determine, after comparing
the features, fees, and risks of both policies, that it is preferable for
you to purchase the new policy rather than continue to own the
existing policy.
