Not a Short-Term Investment This Contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash.
• Contingent deferred sales charges may apply for up to 11 years following each purchase payment. Contingent deferred sales charges will reduce the value of your Contract if you withdraw money during that time.

Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract
Risks Associated with 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., Portfolios).
• Each investment option (including any Fixed Account investment option) will have its own unique risks.
• You should review these investment options before making an investment decision.

  CONFLICTS OF INTEREST LOCATION IN
PROSPECTUS
Investment Professional Compensation Your investment professional may receive compensation for selling this Contract to You, both in the form of commissions and because MetLife may share the revenue it earns on this Contract with the professional’s firm. This conflict of interest may influence your investment professional to recommend this Contract over another investment. Investments of the Variable Account – Certain Payments We Receive with Regard to the Portfolios
Exchanges Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new contract in place of the one you own. You should only exchange your Contract if You determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both contracts, that it is better for you to purchase the new contract rather than continue to own your existing Contract.
