**Summary Prospectus for New Investors**

May 1, 2026

The policy described in this prospectus is not available in the state of New York.

This Summary Prospectus summarizes key features of the policy. **Not all benefits and features are available in all states. Check the statutory prospectus for information relating to state availability.** 

Before you invest, you should also review the statutory prospectus for the policy, which contains more information about the policy's features, benefits, and risks. You can find this document and other information about the policy online at https://nationwide.onlineprospectus.net/NW/C000227145NW/index.php?ctype=product_prospectus. You can also obtain this information at no cost by calling 1-800-848-6331 or by sending an email request to FLSS@nationwide.com.

**Under state law a Policy Owner may, for a limited time, cancel the policy and receive a refund (commonly referred to as the "right to cancel" period). The length of the right to cancel period depends on state law and may vary depending on whether the policy was purchased to replace another policy. The minimum right to cancel period is 10 days. Upon cancellation, Nationwide will refund the amount prescribed by state law. The amount Nationwide refunds will be Cash Value and any charges deducted or, in certain states, the greater of the Premium paid or the policy's Cash Value plus any charges deducted. For more information, see *Right to Cancel (Examination Right)* in the statutory prospectus.**

You should review the statutory prospectus, or consult with your financial professional, for additional information about the specific cancellation terms that apply.

Additional information about certain investment products, including variable life insurance policies, has been prepared by the SEC's staff and is available at Investor.gov.

This policy is available through third party financial intermediaries who may charge an investment advisory fee for their services, and these fees are in addition to the policy fees and expenses described in this prospectus. If a Policy Owner elects to pay any investment advisory fees from the policy through partial surrenders or investment advisory policy loans, this may reduce the Death Benefit and other benefits under the policy, may be subject to federal and state income taxes, and may be subject to a 10% federal tax penalty. For more information, see *Policy Loans, Partial Surrender,* and *Taxes* in the statutory prospectus.

**Overview of the Policy**

**Purpose**

The primary benefit of this policy is life insurance coverage. Nationwide will pay the Death Benefit Proceeds upon the Insured's death if the Insured dies while the policy is In Force. The policy is In Force when: the policy has been issued; the initial Premium has been paid; the Insured is living; the policy has not been surrendered for its Cash Surrender Value; and the policy has not Lapsed.

The Cash Value and Death Benefit, to the extent the Death Benefit includes or is based on the Cash Value, will not be fixed but will be dependent on the investment performance of the investment options in which the Policy Owner is invested, and cumulative Variable Account and policy charges assessed by Nationwide over the life of the policy.

This policy offers permanent life insurance protection with potential accumulation of Cash Value on a tax deferred basis. Prospective purchasers should consult with a financial professional to determine whether this policy is appropriate for them, taking into consideration his/her particular needs, including investment objectives, risk tolerance, investment time horizon, marital status, tax situation, and other personal characteristics. Generally speaking, this policy is intended as a long-term investment, it is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash, see *Principal Risks* in the statutory prospectus.

**Premiums**

The Policy Owner will select a Premium payment plan for the policy at the time of application. Within limits, the Policy Owner may vary the frequency and amount of Premium payments, see *Premium Payments* and *Unfavorable Sub-Account Investment Experience* in the statutory prospectus. Payment of insufficient Premium may cause the policy to Lapse.

Net Premium, loan repayments, and Cash Value may be allocated among the indexed interest options and/or variable investment options available in the policy.

The policy currently offers two types of general account options, the Fixed Account and indexed interest options, see *Risk Associated with Cash Value in the General Account Options* in the statutory prospectus. As general account options, amounts credited to these investment options are dependent on Nationwide's financial strength and claims paying ability.

The Fixed Account will earn interest daily at an effective annual rate, see *The Fixed Account* in the statutory prospectus. The Fixed Account is not available for direct allocation of Premium by the Policy Owner.

The indexed interest options offered under the policy use the change in value of reference indexes as factors in the calculation of interest credited to Index Segments. Interest is calculated and applied on Index Segment Maturity Dates; however, no interest will be credited for amounts deducted from an Index Segment before the Index Segment Maturity Date for:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• full and partial surrenders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• policy and Rider charge deductions; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• policy loans, including due and unpaid policy loan interest charged.

See *Indexed Interest Options* in the statutory prospectus.

The variable investment options offered under the policy correspond to mutual funds designed to be the underlying investment options of variable insurance products. Nationwide VL Separate Account-G contains a separate Sub-Account for each of the underlying mutual funds offered in the policy.

**Additional information about the underlying mutual funds is available in *Appendix A: Underlying Mutual Funds Available Under the Policy*.**

**Policy Features**

***Death Benefit Options***

**Note:** The Death Benefit will be the greater of the amount produced by the death benefit option in effect on the date of the Insured's death or the Minimum Required Death Benefit, see *The Minimum Required Death Benefit* in the statutory prospectus.

*Death Benefit Option 1:* The Death Benefit will be the Base Policy Specified Amount as of the Insured's date of death.

------

*Death Benefit Option 2:* The Death Benefit will be the Base Policy Specified Amount plus the Cash Value as of the Insured's date of death.

For additional information, see *Standard Death Benefit Options* in the statutory prospectus.

***Choice of Policy Proceeds***

The Policy Proceeds may be paid in a lump sum, or a variety of options that will pay out over time.

***Coverage Flexibility***

Subject to conditions, the Policy Owner may choose to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• change the death benefit option;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• decrease the Base Policy Specified Amount and decrease the Long-Term Care Specified Amount;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• change beneficiaries; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• change ownership of the policy.

***No-Lapse Guarantee Policy Continuation Feature***

The policy will remain In Force during the No-Lapse Guarantee Period as long as sufficient Premium is paid to meet the requirements set forth in the *No-Lapse Guarantee Policy Continuation* provision in the statutory prospectus.

***Access to Cash Value***

Subject to conditions, the Policy Owner may:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• take a policy loan, including declared rate policy loans and/or investment advisory policy loans, see *Policy Loans* in the statutory prospectus.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• take a partial surrender, see *Partial Surrender* in the statutory prospectus.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• surrender the policy for its Cash Surrender Value at any time while the policy is In Force, see *Full Surrender* in the statutory prospectus.

***Payment of Investment Advisory Fees from the Policy***

If a Policy Owner elects to pay any investment advisory fees from the policy through partial surrenders or investment advisory policy loans, this may reduce the Death Benefit and other benefits under the policy, may result in adverse tax consequences, and may increase the risk of policy Lapse. For more information, see *Policy Loans*, *Partial Surrender*, and *Taxes* in the statutory prospectus.

***Transfer Requests***

Generally, Policy Owners may request to transfer allocations between the indexed interest options and Sub-Accounts daily. Policy Owners may request to transfer allocations to the indexed interest options daily that will create one or more Index Segments on the Sweep Date coinciding with or next following the date of the transfer request, see *Indexed Interest Options* in the statutory prospectus. Requests to transfer allocations between policy investment options will be processed in the Valuation Period they are received at the Service Center as long as the request is in good order. Requests that are not in good order may be delayed or returned, see *Contacting the Service Center* in the statutory prospectus.

Restrictions or limitations on transfers from the indexed interest option(s) may delay a Policy Owner's ability to transfer Cash Value to the Sub-Accounts. Additionally, transfer requests from a Sub-Account may be subject to short-term trading fees and policies and procedures intended to reduce the potentially detrimental impact that disruptive trading has on Investment Experience. For additional information, see *Transfers Among and Between the Policy Investment Options* in the statutory prospectus.

***Taxes***

Earnings on the policy are generally not taxable to the Policy Owner, unless withdrawn from the policy. This is known as tax deferral. In addition, beneficiaries generally will not have to include Death Benefit Proceeds as taxable income, see *Taxes* in the statutory prospectus.

***Assignment***

Policy Owners may assign the policy as collateral for a loan or another obligation while the policy is In Force, see *Assigning the Policy* in the statutory prospectus.

------

***Right to Cancel (Examination Right)***

For a limited time, the Policy Owner may cancel the policy and Nationwide will refund the amount prescribed by state law, see *Right to Cancel (Examination Right)* in the statutory prospectus.

***Riders***

The Policy Owner may purchase one or more of the Riders listed below, subject to availability in the state where the policy is issued. There may be additional charges assessed for elected Riders and Rider charges may vary based upon the individual characteristics of the Insured. Operation and benefits of the Riders described in this prospectus may vary by the state where the policy is issued, see *Appendix B: State Variations* in the statutory prospectus.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Accelerated Death Benefit for Chronic Illness Rider

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Accelerated Death Benefit for Critical Illness Rider

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Accelerated Death Benefit for Terminal Illness Rider

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Long-Term Care Rider II

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Overloan Lapse Protection Rider II

For additional information, see *Policy Riders and Rider Charges* in the statutory prospectus.

**Standard Death Benefit**

**Standard Death Benefit Options**

Policy Owners have a choice of one of two available death benefit options under the policy. If a death benefit option is not selected, Nationwide will issue the policy with Death Benefit Option 1.

**Note:** The Death Benefit will be the greater of the amount produced by the death benefit option in effect on the date of the Insured's death *or* the Minimum Required Death Benefit, see *The Minimum Required Death Benefit* in the statutory prospectus.

*Death Benefit Option 1*: The Death Benefit will be the Base Policy Specified Amount as of the Insured's date of death.

*Death Benefit Option 2*: The Death Benefit will be the Base Policy Specified Amount plus the Cash Value as of the Insured's date of death.

**Calculation of the Death Benefit**

The Death Benefit will be calculated when Nationwide has received (at the Service Center) all information required to process the claim for Death Benefit Proceeds, including, but not limited to, proof that the Insured has died and any other information Nationwide may reasonably require. The Death Benefit may be subject to an adjustment if an error or misstatement was made upon application, the Insured dies by suicide, benefits were paid under a Rider that accelerated all or a portion of the Death Benefit, and if the Long-Term Care Rider II is elected, when the Rider's Lapse protection feature is keeping the policy In Force when the Insured dies.

While the policy is In Force, the Death Benefit will never be less than the Base Policy Specified Amount. The Death Benefit will depend on the death benefit option elected, certain Riders, and the tax test elected as discussed in greater detail below. The Death Benefit may vary with the Cash Value of the policy, which is affected by Investment Experience, Indebtedness, and any due and unpaid monthly deductions that accrued during a Grace Period.

**The Minimum Required Death Benefit**

The policy has a Minimum Required Death Benefit. The Minimum Required Death Benefit is the lowest Death Benefit that will qualify the policy as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Code.

The tax tests for life insurance generally require that the policy have a significant element of life insurance and not be primarily an investment vehicle. At the time the policy is issued, the Policy Owner irrevocably elects one of the following tests to qualify the policy as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Code:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the cash value accumulation test; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the guideline premium/cash value corridor test.

------

If a specific test is not elected, Nationwide will issue the policy with the guideline premium/cash value corridor test.

***Cash Value Accumulation Test***

The cash value accumulation test determines the Minimum Required Death Benefit by multiplying the Cash Value by a percentage calculated as described in the Code. The percentages depend upon the Insured's age, sex, and underwriting classification. Under the cash value accumulation test, there is no limit to the amount that may be paid in Premiums as long as there is sufficient Death Benefit in relation to the Cash Value at all times.

***Guideline Premium/Cash Value Corridor Test***

The guideline premium/cash value corridor test determines the Minimum Required Death Benefit by comparing the Death Benefit to an applicable percentage of the Cash Value. These percentages are set out in the Code, but the percentage varies only by the Attained Age of the Insured.

In deciding which test to elect for the policy, consider the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The cash value accumulation test generally allows flexibility to pay more Premium, subject to Nationwide's approval of any increase in the policy's Net Amount At Risk that would result from higher Premium payments. Premium payments under the guideline premium/cash value corridor test are limited by Section 7702 of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Generally, the guideline premium/cash value corridor test produces a higher Death Benefit in the early years of the policy while the cash value accumulation test produces a higher Death Benefit in the policy's later years.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Monthly cost of insurance charges that vary with the amount of the Death Benefit may be greater during the years when the elected test produces a higher Death Benefit.

Regardless of which test is elected, Nationwide will monitor compliance to ensure that the policy meets the statutory definition of life insurance under the Code. As a result, the Death Benefit Proceeds payable under a policy should be excludable from gross income of the beneficiary for federal income tax purposes. Nationwide may refuse additional Premium payments or return Premium payments so that the policy continues to meet the Code's definition of life insurance. Consult a qualified tax advisor on all tax matters involving the policy.

**Other Benefits Available Under the Policy**

In addition to the standard death benefit options available under the policy, other standard or optional benefits may also be available to you. The following table summarizes information about these other benefits. For additional information on the policy's Riders, see *Policy Riders and Rider Charges* in the statutory prospectus. Additional information on the fees associated with each benefit is in *Additional Information About Fees* later in this summary prospectus. The availability of policy benefits may vary depending on the broker-dealer through which the policy is sold (see *Appendix D: Financial Intermediary Variations* in the statutory prospectus).

---

**Buying the Policy**

**Initial Premium Payment**

The required initial Premium payment amount is stated in the Policy Specification Pages and will depend on the following factors: the initial Base Policy Specified Amount, death benefit option elected, any Riders elected, and the Insured's age, sex, health, and activities. Initial Premium may be paid to the Service Center or to an authorized Nationwide representative. The initial Premium payment will not be applied to the policy until the underwriting process is complete.

**Premium Payments**

This policy does not require a payment of a scheduled Premium amount to keep it In Force. It will remain In Force as long as the conditions that cause a policy to Lapse do not exist, see *Lapse* and *Unfavorable Sub-Account Investment Experience* in the statutory prospectus. Premium payment reminder notices will be sent according to the Premium payment schedule selected by the Policy Owner. Additional Premium payments must be submitted to the Service Center.

------

Each Premium payment must be at least $50. Upon request, Nationwide will furnish Premium payment receipts. Policy Owners may make additional Premium payments at any time while the policy is In Force and prior to the Maturity Date, subject to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Nationwide may require satisfactory evidence of insurability before accepting any additional Premium payment that results in an increase in the policy's Net Amount At Risk.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Nationwide will refuse and refund Premium payments that exceed the applicable premium limit established by the Code to qualify the policy as a contract for life insurance. Refunds of Premium will be processed from the policy investment options in the order described in *Partial Surrender* in the statutory prospectus.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Nationwide will monitor Premiums paid and will notify Policy Owners when the policy is in jeopardy of becoming a modified endowment contract, see *Taxes* in the statutory prospectus.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Nationwide may require that policy Indebtedness be repaid before accepting any additional Premium payments, see *Policy Loans* in the statutory prospectus.

Premium payments will be allocated to the Sub-Accounts and indexed interest options according to the allocation instructions in effect at the time the Premium is received, subject to availability.

Premium allocations to the indexed interest options will be applied to the Fixed Account as a Pending Sweep Transaction on the day they are received. On the applicable Sweep Date, Pending Sweep Transactions will be allocated to the indexed interest strategies, after processing for monthly deductions and other policy charges, loans and partial surrenders, according to the allocation instructions in effect on the day on which the Net Premium was received, unless changed by any transfer requests received in the meantime. Therefore, as a result of any of the deductions described above, the Cash Value applied to the indexed interest strategy may be less than the amount applied as the Pending Sweep Transaction.

The Policy Owner may change how future Premium will be allocated at any time while the policy is In Force by notifying Nationwide in writing.

**How Your Policy Can Lapse**

The policy is at risk of Lapsing when the Cash Surrender Value is insufficient to cover the monthly policy charges, including Rider charges, see *Unfavorable Sub-Account Investment Experience* in the statutory prospectus. A Policy Owner can avoid Lapsing the policy by paying the amount required by the No-Lapse Guarantee Policy Continuation provision or by invoking the Overloan Lapse Protection Rider II to prevent the policy from Lapsing due to Indebtedness. Before any Lapse, there is a Grace Period during which a Policy Owner can take action to prevent the Lapse. Subject to certain conditions, a Policy Owner may reinstate a policy that has Lapsed.

**No-Lapse Guarantee Policy Continuation** 

The policy provides for a No-Lapse Guarantee Policy Continuation provision during the No-Lapse Guarantee Period shown in the Policy Specification Pages. The No-Lapse Guarantee Period is elected at the time of application and cannot be changed after the policy is issued. During the No-Lapse Guarantee Period, the policy will not Lapse if at the time a Lapse would otherwise occur, the Premium paid, reduced for any Indebtedness, partial surrenders, and/or Returned Premiums, is equal to or greater than the sum of the No-Lapse Guarantee Monthly Premium in effect for each respective month since the policy was issued.

The No-Lapse Guarantee Monthly Premium required is stated in the Policy Specification Pages and will vary by the Insured's Issue Age, sex, underwriting classification, the Base Policy Specified Amount and any Riders elected.

The No-Lapse Guarantee Monthly Premium can only change due to action taken by the Policy Owner. If a Policy Owner has made any changes to the policy after it is issued, including any partial surrenders, decreases to the Base Policy Specified Amount, terminating a Rider, and/or changing the death benefit option, the No-Lapse Guarantee Monthly Premium may change. A change will result in reissued Policy Specification Pages which will show the new No-Lapse Guarantee Monthly Premium. Upon request and for no charge, Nationwide will determine whether Premium payments, minus any Indebtedness and partial surrenders, and/or Returned Premiums are sufficient to keep the No-Lapse Guarantee Policy Continuation provision in effect.

When the No-Lapse Guarantee Period ends, if the Cash Surrender Value remains insufficient to cover the monthly policy charges, the policy is at risk of Lapsing and a Grace Period will begin. There is no separate additional charge for the No-Lapse Guarantee Policy Continuation provision.

------

**Grace Period**

If the Cash Surrender Value on any Policy Monthaversary is not sufficient to cover the current monthly deductions and the requirements of the No-Lapse Guarantee Policy Continuation provision, if applicable, are not met, then a Grace Period will begin. At the beginning of a Grace Period, the Policy Owner will receive a notice from Nationwide that will indicate the amount of Premium that must be paid to avoid Lapsing the policy. If the required Premium is not paid within 61 days, the policy and all Riders will Lapse. The amount is equal to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) the lesser of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the amount of Premium required to pay any due and unpaid policy charges; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the amount of Premium that will bring the No-Lapse Guarantee Policy Continuation provision back into effect, if applicable; plus

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Premium projected to keep the policy In Force for three additional months.

The Grace Period will not alter the operation of the policy or the payment of Proceeds.

**Reinstatement**

A Policy Owner may request reinstatement of a Lapsed policy by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) submitting, at any time within three years after the end of the Grace Period (or longer if required by state law) and before the Maturity Date, a written request to the Service Center to reinstate the policy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) providing evidence of insurability satisfactory to Nationwide;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) paying:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) if the policy is not in the No-Lapse Guarantee Period, sufficient Premium to cover all policy charges that were due and unpaid during the Grace Period, plus the policy charges due on the reinstatement date, plus any amount needed to increase the Cash Value, minus any Indebtedness and any surrender charge, to zero; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) if the policy is in the No-Lapse Guarantee Period, the lesser of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i. sufficient Premium to cover all policy charges that were due and unpaid during the Grace Period, plus the policy charges due on the reinstatement date, plus any amount needed to increase the Cash Value, minus any Indebtedness and any surrender charge, to zero; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii. sufficient Premium to meet the No-Lapse Guarantee Monthly Premium requirement of the *No-Lapse Guarantee Policy Continuation* provision; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) sufficient Premium, to pay policy charges and/or No-Lapse Guarantee Monthly Premium to meet the requirements of the *No-Lapse Guarantee Policy Continuation* provision as applicable, to keep the policy In Force for three months (or less if required by state law) from the date of reinstatement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) repaying or reinstating any Indebtedness that existed at the end of the Grace Period. **Note:** Indebtedness may only be reinstated as a declared rate policy loan. Therefore, any outstanding investment advisory policy loans will be reinstated as declared rate policy loans.

The Policy Owner may also reinstate coverage under certain Riders subject to satisfactory evidence of insurability.

If Nationwide approves the application for reinstatement and receives the required Premium, the effective date of a reinstated policy, including any reinstated Riders, will be the coinciding or next Policy Monthaversary following the date Nationwide approves the application for reinstatement.

If the policy is reinstated, the Cash Value on the date of reinstatement will be set equal to the Cash Value at the end of the most recent Grace Period. Nationwide will add any Premiums or loan repayments that were made to reinstate the policy to the Cash Value.

The Cash Value will be applied to the policy investment options according to the Policy Owner's most recent allocation instructions for Net Premium.

**Making Withdrawals: Accessing the Money in Your Policy**

**Full Surrender**

The policy may be surrendered for the Cash Surrender Value at any time while it is In Force. A surrender will be effective as of the date Nationwide receives the Policy Owner's written surrender request in good order at the Service Center. Nationwide reserves the right to require written requests to be submitted on current Nationwide forms. See *Payment of Policy Proceeds* in the statutory prospectus for additional information.

**Partial Surrender**

A Policy Owner may request a partial surrender of the policy's Cash Surrender Value at any time after the first policy year. A partial surrender will be effective as of the date Nationwide receives the Policy Owner's written request at the Service Center. Nationwide reserves the right to require written requests to be submitted on current Nationwide forms. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this prospectus, Nationwide may accept requests submitted via telephone, subject to dollar amount limitations and payment and other restrictions to prevent fraud. Nationwide reserves the right to discontinue acceptance of telephonic requests at any time upon written notice. Contact the Service Center for current limitations and restrictions, see *Contacting the Service Center* in the statutory prospectus. A Partial Surrender Fee may be applied to each partial surrender that equals the lesser of $25 or 5% of the amount surrendered. Currently, Nationwide waives the partial surrender fee, see *Partial Surrender Fee* in the statutory prospectus. See *Payment of Policy Proceeds* in the statutory prospectus for additional information.

A partial surrender cannot cause the Base Policy Specified Amount to be reduced below the Minimum Base Policy Specified Amount indicated in the Policy Specification Pages, and after any partial surrender, the policy must continue to qualify as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Code. Partial surrenders may be subject to income tax penalties. They could also cause the policy to become a "modified endowment contract" under the Code, which could change the income tax treatment of any distribution from the policy, see *Taxes* in the statutory prospectus.

**Reduction of the Base Policy Specified Amount due to a Partial Surrender**

When a partial surrender is taken, the Base Policy Specified Amount will be reduced by the amount necessary to prevent an increase in the Net Amount At Risk. The Base Policy Specified Amount reduction will not exceed the partial surrender amount. The policy's charges going forward will be based on the new Base Policy Specified Amount.

**Partial Surrenders to Pay Investment Advisory Fees from the Policy**

Some Policy Owners utilize an investment adviser(s) to manage their assets, for which the investment adviser assesses a fee. Investment advisers are not endorsed or affiliated with Nationwide and Nationwide makes no representation as to their qualifications. The fees for these investment advisory services are specified in the respective account agreements and are separate from and in addition to the policy fees and expenses described in this prospectus. Some Policy Owners authorize their investment adviser to take a partial surrender(s) from the policy to collect investment advisory fees. In order to take partial surrenders from the policy to pay investment advisory fees, the investment adviser and Policy Owner must complete an authorization form specified by Nationwide. Once the authorization form is completed, the investment adviser may thereafter request a partial surrender(s) via the Service Center without further approval, counter-signature, or cosignature from the Policy Owner.

Partial surrenders to pay investment advisory fees reduce the Cash Value, Cash Surrender Value, Base Policy Specified Amount, and Death Benefit. A partial surrender from an Index Segment before the Index Segment Maturity Date will result in no interest credited for the amount deducted. In addition, partial surrenders taken from the policy to pay investment advisory fees may negatively impact the Rider benefits available under the policy, see *Policy Riders and Rider Charges* in the statutory prospectus. Partial surrenders to pay investment advisory fees are subject to the same restrictions and limitations for partial surrenders generally, as described above.

**Additional Information About Fees**

**The following tables describe the fees and expenses that a Policy Owner will pay when buying, owning, and surrendering or taking partial surrenders from the policy. Please refer to the Policy Specification Pages of your policy for information about the specific fees you will pay based on the options you have elected. These fees and expenses do not reflect investment advisory fees you may pay to a third party financial intermediary from the policy's Cash Value or from other assets. If such charges were reflected, the fees and expenses would be higher.**

**The first table describes the fees and expenses that a Policy Owner will pay at the time the Policy Owner pays Premium into the policy, surrenders or takes partial surrenders from the policy, or transfers Cash Value between investment options.**

Indexed Interest Strategy Charge rates may vary by Indexed Interest Strategy and date on which an Index Segment was created.

<sup>2</sup>

The Policy Owner will be expected to pay the Service Fee by check or money order at the time of the request. This charge will not be deducted from Cash Value.

<sup>3</sup>

The Accelerated Death Benefit for Terminal Illness Rider Charge varies based on prevailing interest rates and the life expectancy of the Insured upon payment of the TI Accelerated Death Benefit Payment.

<sup>†</sup>

This charge will vary based upon the individual characteristics of the Insured. Representative charges shown in the table may not be representative of the charge that a particular Policy Owner will pay. Policy Owners can request an illustration of specific costs and/or see the Policy Specification Pages for information about specific charges of the policy.

<sup>1</sup>

The maximum Cost of Insurance Charge calculation assumes: the Insured is a male; issue age 80; policy year 40; standard tobacco; and any Base Policy Specified Amount. Other sets of assumptions may also produce the maximum charge. On a current basis, the cost of insurance rate is 0.00 during the No-Lapse Guarantee Period.

The Declared Rate Policy Loan Interest Charge and Investment Advisory Policy Loan Interest Charge are described in more detail in *Policy Loans* in the statutory prospectus.

**The next table shows the minimum and maximum total operating expenses charged by the underlying mutual funds that a Policy Owner may periodically pay while the policy is In Force.

**Appendix: Underlying Mutual Funds Available Under the Policy**

The following is a list of underlying mutual funds available under the policy. More information about the underlying mutual funds is available in the prospectuses for the underlying mutual funds, which may be amended from time to time and can be found online at https://nationwide.onlineprospectus.net/NW/C000227145NW/index.php. This information can also be obtained at no cost by calling 1-800-848-6331 or by sending an email request to FLSS@nationwide.com.
