**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#EQH146650. You can also obtain this information at no cost by calling 1-877-522-5035, by sending an email request to EquitableFunds@dfinsolutions.com, or by calling your financial intermediary.

The EQUI-VEST<sup>®</sup> Express<sup>SM</sup> (Series 700) 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<sup>®</sup> Express<sup>SM</sup> (Series 700). 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 Principal assurance allocation program for fixed maturity options, (iii) General dollar-cost averaging, 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 your 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 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 a death benefit to protect your beneficiaries. 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;

• Fixed maturity options;

• Principal assurance allocation program for fixed maturity options; and

• General Dollar Cost Averaging option.

**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.

**Principal assurance allocation**

Under this allocation program, you select a fixed maturity option and we specify the portion of your initial contribution to be allocated to that fixed maturity option in an amount that will cause the maturity value to equal the amount of your entire initial contribution on the fixed maturity option's maturity date.

***Rebalancing and General Dollar Cost Averaging***

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

***Access to Your Money***

During the accumulation phase you can take free 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 if you are younger than 59 1/2. 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.

***2***

------

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.

| **Is There a Risk of Loss from Poor Performance?** | **Yes.** The contract is subject to the risk of loss.

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.

| **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 fixed maturity options, has its own unique risks. You should review the variable investment options available under the contract before making an investment decision.<br>For additional information about the risks associated with investment options see "Fixed investment options" 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 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 optional benefits. The general obligations, 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.<br>For additional information about insurance company risks see "About the general account" in "More information" in the prospectus. |
| **RESTRICTIONS** | **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.<br>For more information see "About the Separate Account" in "More information" in the prospectus.<br>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.<br>Contributions and transfers into and out of the guaranteed interest option are limited.<br>The standard death benefit offered with the contract was available only at contract purchase. Withdrawals could significantly reduce or terminate the death benefit.<br>For additional information about the restrictions on investment options, see "Portfolios of the Trusts" 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?** | At any time, we have the right to limit or terminate your contributions to the contract.

| **TAXES** | **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.

| **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.<br>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.

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, but in some instances a minimum contribution of $50 is required to purchase a 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 contributions. 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.

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. 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<sup>1</sup>⁄<sub>2</sub>.

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.

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** ***pay each*** **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, or 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** | **Transaction Expenses** |
| Sales Load Imposed on Purchases (as a percentage of purchase payments) |  |
| Withdrawal Charge (as a percentage of contributions withdrawn)<sup>(1)</sup> | 7.00% |
| Transfer Fee |  |
| Third Party Transfer or Exchange Fee<sup>(2)</sup> | $65 |
| Special Service Charges<sup>(3)</sup> | $90 |

---

(1) The charge percentage is deducted upon a withdrawal of amounts in excess of the 10% free withdrawal amount. 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 charges, please see "Withdrawal charges" in "Charges,
expenses, and adjustments" in the prospectus. The withdrawal charge percentage we use is determined by the contract year in which you make the withdrawal or surrender your contract. For each contribution, we consider the contract year in which
we receive that contribution to be "contract year 1". 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. We may discontinue these services at any time.

(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)<sup>(1)</sup> | 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). If you choose to purchase an optional benefit, you will pay additional charges, as shown below.** 

---

| |
|:---|
| **Annual Contract Expenses** |
| Annual Administrative Charge<sup>(1)</sup>$65<sup>(2)</sup> |
| Base Contract Expenses (as an percentage of daily net assets in the variable investment options)2.00%<sup>(3)</sup> |

---

(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. 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 amount previously withdrawn during the contract year.

(2) There is no administrative charge if your account value is $25,000 or more for NQ contracts (or $20,000 or more for IRA
contracts) on the last day of your contract year.

(3) The current range for the Base Contract Expenses is 0.95% to 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" may be based, in part, on estimated amounts of such expenses. The expenses listed are for the year ended December 31, 2025. 

**Example** 

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

**This Example assumes all account value is allocated to the variable investment options. This example does not reflect market value adjustments. Your costs could differ from those shown below if you invest in the fixed maturity options.**

**The Example assumes that you invest $100,000 in the variable investment options for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes 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:**
