The average annual total returns reflect the reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains, and the deduction of investment management fees, expenses, as well as PruLife® Custom Premier II's specific Mortality and Expense Risk Charge. The returns do not reflect other life insurance policy charges (sales, administration, and actual cost of insurance) nor any applicable surrender or lapse charges, which would significantly lower the stated returns. For these returns, we assume, hypothetically, that the contract was allocated each underlying portfolio from the date the portfolio was first made available through the separate account that supports your variable life policy or, in cases in which the portfolio was created after the separate account, from the portfolio inception date. You may obtain a personalized illustration of historical performance, from your licensed financial professional, which reflects the cost of your policy's insurance protection.
The yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the Money Market Portfolio than the total return quotation.

The returns may reflect hypothetical investment experience as though PruLife® Custom Premier II has been in existence since the inception of the separate account or introduction of the indicated portfolio within the account. PruLife® Custom Premier II was first offered in May 2004.

PLEASE REVIEW THIS MATERIAL WITH A CURRENT VARIABLE PRODUCT PROSPECTUS, PRODUCT MATERIAL (product brochure or illustration).
Investors should consider the contract and the underlying portfolios' investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses carefully before investing.

An investment in the Prudential Series Fund Money Market Portfolio is neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Portfolio seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $10.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Portfolio. The yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the Money Market Portfolio than the total return quotation.
Investing in a particular sector increases vulnerability to any single economic, political, or regulatory developments. Small cap stocks may be subject to more erratic movements than large cap stocks; foreign securities are subject to currency fluctuation and political uncertainty. Fixed income investments are subject to interest rate risks, and their value will decline as interest rates rise. These risks may result in greater share price volatility.
With respect to the SP Portfolios of The Prudential Series Fund, Inc., the Portfolio's investment manager (Prudential Investments LLC) is absorbing a portion of the expenses of certain portfolios. That expense absorption may be discontinued at any time. Absent such expense absorption, the performance quoted would be lower. Performance returns without the expense absorption are available without charge upon request from your variable life and variable annuity customer service call centers.
The Prudential Series Fund and Advanced Series Trust(AST) investment portfolios are available to the public only through variable life and variable annuity contracts. The performance of these portfolios is not related to that of any other retail mutual funds, despite any similarities in their names, investment objectives or policies.
Life insurance policies contain exclusions, limitations, reductions of benefits, and terms for keeping them in force. For cost and complete details for coverage, contact your licensed financial professional or refer to the prospectus.
