POLICY SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights the features and benefits of the policy, the risks that you should consider before purchasing a policy and the fees and charges associated with the policy and its benefits. More detailed information is included in the other sections of this prospectus which should be read carefully before you purchase the policy.

 

The Policy's Features and Benefits

Premium Payments

 

See Premium Payments, page 22.

   You choose when to pay and how much to pay, but you cannot pay additional premiums after age 100 and we may refuse to accept any premium less than $25.

   You will need to pay sufficient premiums to keep the policy in force. Failure to pay sufficient premiums may cause your policy to lapse.

   We may refuse any premium that would disqualify your policy as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code.

   We deduct a premium expense charge from each premium payment and credit the remaining premium (the “net premium”) to the variable account or the fixed account according to your instructions.

Free Look Period

 

See Free Look Period, page 23.

   During the free look period, you have the right to examine your policy and return it for a refund if you are not satisfied for any reason.

   The free look period is generally ten days from your receipt of the policy, although certain states may allow more than ten days. The length of the free look period that applies in your state will be stated in your policy.

   During the free look period, your net premium will be allocated to the subaccount which invests in the ING Liquid Assets Portfolio.

   Upon cancellation of your policy during the free-look period you will receive a refund equal to the greater of:

   All premium we have received; or

   Your policy value plus a refund of all charges deducted.

Temporary Insurance

 

See Temporary Insurance, page 23.

   If you apply and qualify, we may issue temporary insurance equal to the amount of insurance for which you applied.

   The maximum amount of temporary insurance is $4.5 million, which includes other in-force coverage you have with us.

   Temporary insurance may not be available in all states.

Death Benefits

 

See Death Benefits, page 31.

   Death benefits are paid if your policy is in force when the insured person dies.

   Until age 100, the amount of the death benefit will depend on which death benefit option is in effect when the insured person dies.

   You may choose between one of three death benefit options:

   Option 1 - the base death benefit is the greater of the amount of insurance coverage you have selected or your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor described in Appendix A;

   Option 2 - the base death benefit is the greater of the amount of insurance coverage you have selected plus your policy value or your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor described in Appendix A; or

   Option 3 - the base death benefit is the greater of the amount of insurance coverage you have selected plus premiums paid minus withdrawals taken or your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor described in Appendix A.

   After age 100, the base death benefit under all options will generally be the greater of the amount of insurance coverage you have selected plus the amount of coverage, if any, under the Term Insurance Rider or your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor described in Appendix A. See Full Death Benefit Rider, page 44.

   We will reduce the death benefit proceeds payable under any death benefit option by any outstanding policy loans, accrued loan interest and unpaid fees and charges.

   The death benefit is generally not subject to federal income tax if your policy continues to meet the federal income tax definition of life insurance.

Death Benefit Guarantees

 

See Death Benefit Guarantees, page 35.

   Until the earlier of your fifth policy anniversary or the end of the Basic Death Benefit Guarantee period, your policy will not lapse as long as your policy value minus any surrender charge, loan amount and unpaid fees and charges (the “surrender value”) is enough to cover the periodic fees and charges, when due.

   Thereafter, your policy will not lapse as long as your policy value minus the loan account value (the “net policy value”) is enough to pay the periodic fees and charges, when due.

   However, the policy has two death benefit guarantees which provide that the policy will not lapse even if the surrender value or net policy value, as applicable, is not enough to pay the periodic fees and charges, when due:

   The Basic Death Benefit Guarantee is standard on every policy. For issue ages 0-65, this guarantee generally lasts for the lesser of 15 years or to age 70. For issue ages 66 and above, this guarantee generally lasts for the lesser of five years or to age 80, but not less than one year. Under this guarantee your policy will not lapse provided your cumulative premium payments, minus any partial withdrawals or loans, are at least equal to the sum of minimum premium payments to the next monthly processing date. There is no charge for this guarantee; and

   For issue ages 25-75, the Enhanced Lifetime Death Benefit Guarantee is an optional benefit that may be available, but only when you apply for the policy. If you select this guarantee, your policy and any Term Insurance Rider coverage is guaranteed not to lapse for the lifetime of the insured person provided:

   Your cumulative premium payments, minus any partial withdrawals or loans, are at least equal to the sum of the Enhanced Lifetime Death Benefit Guarantee premium payments to the next monthly processing date; and

   Your net policy value meets certain diversification requirements.

There is a separate monthly rider charge for this guarantee.

   A death benefit guarantee may not be available or the length of a guarantee period may be limited for substandard rated policies or policies with certain selected options or benefits.

   Two different death benefit guarantee riders, the Extended Death Benefit Guarantee Rider and the Lifetime Death Benefit Guarantee Rider, were previously available under the policy. See the Extended Death Benefit Guarantee Rider and Lifetime Death Benefit Guarantee Rider sections on pages 38 and 39 for the availability of and greater details about these previously available death benefit guarantee riders.

Rider Benefits

 

See Additional Insurance Benefits, page 37.

   Your policy may include additional insurance benefits, attached by rider. There are two types of rider benefits:

   Optional rider benefits that you must select before they are effective; and

   Rider benefits that automatically come with your policy.

   In many cases, we deduct an additional monthly charge for these benefits.

   Not all riders may be available under your policy.

Investment Options

 

See The Investment Options, page 16.

   You may allocate your net premiums to the subaccounts of the Select*Life Variable Account (the “variable account”) and our fixed account.

   The variable account is one of our separate accounts and consists of subaccounts which invest in corresponding funds. When you allocate premiums to a subaccount, we invest any net premiums in shares of the corresponding fund.

   Your variable account value will vary with the investment performance of the funds underlying the subaccounts and the charges we deduct from your variable account value.

   The fixed account is part of our general account and consists of all of our assets other than those in our separate accounts (including the variable account) and loan account.

   We credit interest of at least 3.00% per year on amounts allocated to the fixed account.

   We may, in our sole discretion, credit interest in excess of 3.00%.

Transfers

 

See Transfers,

page 50.

   You currently may make an unlimited number of transfers between the subaccounts and to the fixed account. We reserve the right, however, to limit you to 12 transfers each policy year, and transfers are subject to any other limits, conditions and restrictions that we or the funds whose shares are involved may impose.

   There are certain restrictions on transfers from the fixed account.

   We currently do not charge for transfers. We reserve the right, however, to charge up to $25 for each transfer.

Asset Allocation Programs

 

See Dollar Cost Averaging, page 50.

 

See Automatic Rebalancing, page 51.

 

   Dollar cost averaging is a systematic program of transferring policy values to selected investment options. It is intended to help reduce the risk of investing too much when the price of a fund's shares is high. It also helps to reduce the risk of investing too little when the price of a fund's shares is low.

   Automatic rebalancing is a systematic program through which your variable and fixed account values are periodically reallocated among your selected investment options to maintain the allocation percentages you have chosen.

   There is currently no charge to participate in the dollar cost averaging or automatic rebalancing programs, although we reserve the right to assess a charge in the future.

   Neither of these asset allocation programs assures a profit nor do they protect you against a loss in a declining market.

Loans

 

See Loans, page 48.

   You may take loans against your policy's surrender value. We reserve the right to limit borrowing during the first policy year.

   Generally a loan must be at least $500 and may not exceed your surrender value.

   When you take a loan we transfer an amount equal to your loan to the loan account as collateral for your loan. The loan account is part of our general account.

   We credit amounts held in the loan account with interest at an annual rate of 3.00%.

   We also charge interest on loans. Interest is payable in advance and accrues daily at a current annual rate of 4.76%.

   After the tenth policy year, preferred loans are available. For preferred loans interest is payable in advance at an annual rate currently equal to 2.91% (guaranteed not to exceed 3.38%) on the portion of your loan account that is not in excess of the policy value, minus the total of all premiums paid net of all partial withdrawals.

   Loans reduce your policy's death benefit and may cause your policy to lapse.

   Loans may have tax consequences, and you should consult with a qualified tax adviser before taking a loan against your policy’s surrender value.

Partial Withdrawals

 

See Partial Withdrawals,

page 53.

   After the first policy year, you may withdraw part of your policy's surrender value.

   We currently allow one partial withdrawal each year during policy years two through ten and 12 partial withdrawals each policy year thereafter.

   A partial withdrawal must be at least $500.

   In policy years two through ten you may not withdraw more than 20% of your surrender value.

   We currently charge $10 for each partial withdrawal, but we reserve the right to charge up to $25 for each partial withdrawal.

   Partial withdrawals reduce your policy's base death benefit and policy value.

   Partial withdrawals may also have tax consequences, and you should consult with a qualified tax adviser before taking a partial withdrawal from your policy.

Surrenders

 

See Surrender,

page 55.

   You may surrender your policy for its surrender value any time before the death of the insured person.

   If you surrender your policy or decrease the amount of your insurance coverage, you may incur a surrender charge.

   For issue ages 0-50, surrender charges apply for 15 years and for 15 years after each increase in your insurance coverage. For issue ages above age 50, the surrender charge period decreases by one year each policy year until age 55 after which surrender charges apply for ten policy years and for ten years after each increase in your insurance coverage. Surrender charges are level for the first five years and then decrease uniformly each month to zero at the end of the surrender charge period.

Surrenders

(Continued)

   Surrender charge rates vary by gender, risk class and age at issue.

   For a decrease in your insurance coverage, surrender charges are assessed against the policy value. If there are multiple coverage segments, the decrease and surrender charges will be processed on a pro rata basis.

   If the surrender charge exceeds the available net policy value, there will be no proceeds paid to you on surrender.

   All insurance coverage ends on the date we receive your surrender request.

   If you surrender your policy, it cannot be reinstated.

   Surrendering the policy may have tax consequences, and you should consult with a qualified tax adviser before surrendering your policy.

Reinstatement

 

See Reinstatement, page 56.

   Reinstatement means putting a lapsed policy back in force.

   You may reinstate your policy and riders within five years of its lapse if you did not surrender your policy, you still own the policy and the insured person is still insurable.

   You will need to pay the required reinstatement premium.

   If you had a policy loan existing when coverage lapsed, we will reinstate it with accrued loan interest to the date of the lapse.

   If any optional death benefit guarantee rider lapses, it cannot be reinstated.

   A policy that is reinstated more than 90 days after lapsing may be considered a modified endowment contract for tax purposes.

   Reinstating your policy may have tax consequences, and you should consult with a qualified tax adviser before reinstating your policy.

 

Factors You Should Consider Before Purchasing a Policy

 

The decision to purchase a policy should be discussed with your agent/registered representative. Make sure you understand the policy's investment options, its other features and benefits, its risks and the fees and charges you will incur when, together with your agent/representative, you consider an investment in the policy.

 

Life Insurance Coverage

   The policy is not a short-term investment and should be purchased only if you need life insurance coverage. Evaluate your need for life insurance coverage before purchasing a policy.

   You should purchase a policy only if you intend and have the financial capability to keep the policy in force for a substantial period of time.

Fees and Charges

 

See Fees and Charges, page 24.

   In the early policy years the surrender charge usually exceeds the policy value because the surrender charge is usually more than the cumulative minimum monthly premiums minus policy fees and charges. Therefore, you should purchase a policy only if you intend and have the financial capability to keep the policy in force for a substantial period of time.

   A policy's fees and charges reflect the costs associated with its features and benefits, the services we render, the expenses we expect to incur and the risks we assume under the policy.

   We believe the policy's fees and charges, in the aggregate, are reasonable, but before purchasing a policy you should compare the value that the policy’s various features and benefits and the available services have to you, given your particular circumstances, with the fees and charges associated with those features, benefits and services.

Lapse

 

See Lapse, page 55.

   Your policy will not lapse and your insurance coverage under the policy will continue if on any monthly processing date:

   A death benefit guarantee is in effect; or

   Your surrender value or net policy value, as applicable, is enough to pay the periodic fees and charges when due.

   If you do not meet these conditions, we will send you notice and give you a 61 day grace period to make a sufficient premium payment.

   If you do not make a sufficient premium payment by the end of the 61 day grace period, your life insurance coverage will terminate and your policy will lapse.

Exchanges

 

See Purchasing a Policy, page 21.

   Replacing your existing life insurance policy(ies) and/or annuity contract(s) with the policy described in this prospectus may not be beneficial to you.

   Before purchasing a policy, determine whether your existing policy(ies) and/or contract(s) will be subject to fees or penalties upon surrender or cancellation.

   Also compare the fees, charges, coverage provisions and limitations, if any, of your existing policy(ies) and/or contract(s) with those of the policy described in this prospectus.

Investment Risk

 

See The Variable Account, page 16.

   You should evaluate the policy's long-term investment potential and risks before purchasing a policy.

   For amounts you allocate to the subaccounts of the variable account:

   Your values will fluctuate with the markets, interest rates and the performance of the underlying funds;

   You assume the risk that your values may decline or not perform to your expectations;

   Your policy could lapse without value or you may be required to pay additional premium because of poor fund performance;

   Each fund has various investment risks, and some funds are riskier than others;

   There is no assurance that any of the funds will achieve its stated investment objective; and

   You should read each fund's prospectus and understand the risks associated with the fund before allocating your premiums to its corresponding subaccount.

   For amounts you allocate to the fixed account:

   Interest rates we declare will change over time; and

   You assume the risk that interest rates may decline, although never below the guaranteed minimum interest rate of 3.00%.

Taxation

 

See TAX CONSIDERATIONS, page 56.

   Under current federal income tax law, death benefits of life insurance policies generally are not subject to income tax. In order for this treatment to apply, the policy must qualify as a life insurance contract. We believe it is reasonable to conclude that the policy will qualify as a life insurance contract.

   Assuming the policy qualifies as a life insurance contract under current federal income tax law, your policy earnings are generally not subject to income tax as long as they remain within your policy. Depending on your circumstances, however, the following events may have tax consequences for you:

 

   Reduction in the amount of your insurance coverage

   Loans

   Surrender

   Partial Withdrawals

   Lapse

   Reinstatement

 

   In addition, if your policy is a modified endowment contract, a partial withdrawal, surrender or a loan against or secured by the policy will cause income taxation to the extent of any gain in the policy. A penalty tax may be imposed on a distribution from a modified endowment contract as well.

   There is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the policy could be changed by legislation or otherwise. You should consult a qualified tax adviser with respect to legislative developments and their effect on the policy.

   Consult with a qualified legal or tax adviser before you purchase a policy.

Sales Compensation

 

See Distribution of the Policies, page 70.

   We pay compensation to broker/dealers whose registered representatives sell the policy.

   Broker/dealers may be able to choose to receive compensation under various payment options, but their choice will not affect the fees and charges you will pay for the policy.

   We generally pay more compensation on premiums paid for base insurance coverage than we do on premiums paid for coverage under the Term Insurance Rider. Talk to your agent/registered representative the right blend of base coverage and Term Insurance Rider coverage for you.

Other Products

 

   We and our affiliates offer other insurance products which may have different features, benefits, fees and charges. These other products may better match your needs.

   Contact your agent/registered representative if you would like information about these other products.

The minimum and maximum rates shown are for an insured person in the standard risk class. All rates shown are for the first policy year. The rates have been rounded to the nearest penny. Consequently, the actual rates are either more or less than these rounded rates. The cost of insurance rates and the monthly amount charges that apply to you depend on the amount of your insurance coverage and the insured person's age at issue and age on the effective date of an increase in your insurance coverage, gender and risk class and the cost of insurance rates generally increase each year after the first segment year. Separate cost of insurance rates apply to each segment of your insurance coverage. A segment or coverage segment is a block of insurance coverage. The rates for the representative insured person listed above may be more or less than you will pay, and you should contact your agent/registered representative for information about the rates that apply to you.

THE COMPANY, THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT

AND THE FIXED ACCOUNT

 

ReliaStar Life Insurance Company

 

We are a stock life insurance company organized in 1885 and incorporated under the laws of the State of Minnesota. We are admitted to do business in the District of Columbia and all states except New York. Our headquarters is at 20 Washington Avenue South, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55401.

 

We are a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of ING Groep N.V., a global financial institution active in the fields of insurance, banking and asset management. ING Groep N.V. is headquartered in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Although we are a subsidiary of ING Groep N.V., ING Groep N.V. is not responsible for the obligations under the policy. The obligations under the policy are solely the responsibility of ReliaStar Life Insurance Company.

 

We are also a charter member of the Insurance Marketplace Standards Association (“IMSA”). Companies that belong to IMSA subscribe to a rigorous set of standards that cover the various aspects of sales and service for individually sold life insurance and annuities. IMSA members have adopted policies and procedures that demonstrate a commitment to honesty, fairness and integrity in all customer contacts involving sales and service of individual life insurance and annuity products.

 

Regulatory Developments -- The Company and the Industry

 

As with many financial services companies, ReliaStar and its affiliates have received informal and formal requests for information from various state and federal governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations in connection with inquiries and investigations of the products and practices of the financial services industry. In each case, the company and its affiliates have been and are providing full cooperation.

 

Investment Product Regulatory Issues. Since 2002, there has been increased governmental and regulatory activity relating to mutual funds and variable insurance products. This activity has primarily focused on inappropriate trading of fund shares; revenue sharing and directed brokerage; compensation; sales practices, suitability and supervision; arrangements with service providers; pricing; compliance and controls; adequacy of disclosure; and document retention.

 

In addition to responding to governmental and regulatory requests on fund trading issues, ING management, on its own initiative, conducted, through special counsel and a national accounting firm, an extensive internal review of mutual fund trading in ING insurance, retirement and mutual fund products. The goal of this review was to identify any instances of inappropriate trading in those products by third parties or by ING investment professionals and other ING personnel.

 

ING Investor Elite

14

 

 

 

The internal review identified several isolated arrangements allowing third parties to engage in frequent trading of mutual funds within the variable insurance and mutual fund products of ING, and identified other circumstances where frequent trading occurred despite measures taken by ING intended to combat market timing. Each of the arrangements has been terminated and disclosed to regulators, to the independent trustees of ING Funds (U.S.) and in company reports previously filed with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

In September, 2005, an affiliate of the company, ING Funds Distributors, LLC (“IFD”) and one of its registered persons settled an administrative proceeding with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”) in connection with frequent trading arrangements. IFD neither admitted nor denied the allegations or findings and consented to certain monetary and non-monetary sanctions. IFD’s settlement of this administrative proceeding is not material to the company.

 

Other regulators, including the SEC and the New York Attorney General, are also likely to take some action with respect to the company or certain affiliates before concluding their investigation relating to fund trading. The potential outcome of such action is difficult to predict but could subject the company or certain affiliates to adverse consequences, including, but not limited to, settlement payments, penalties and other financial liability. It is not currently anticipated, however, that the actual outcome of such action will have a material adverse effect on ING or ING's U.S.-based operations, including the company.

 

ING has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the ING Funds from all damages resulting from wrongful conduct by ING or its employees or from ING's internal investigation, any investigations conducted by any governmental or self-regulatory agencies, litigation or other formal proceedings, including any proceedings by the SEC. Management reported to the ING Funds Board that ING management believes that the total amount of any indemnification obligations will not be material to ING or ING's U.S.-based operations, including the company.

 

Insurance and Other Regulatory Matters. The New York Attorney General and other federal and state regulators are also conducting broad inquiries and investigations involving the insurance industry. These initiatives currently focus on, among other things, compensation and other sales incentives; potential conflicts of interest; potential anti-competitive activity; reinsurance; marketing practices; specific product types (including group annuities and indexed annuities); and disclosure. It is likely that the scope of these industry investigations will further broaden before they conclude. The company and certain of its U.S. affiliates of ING have received formal and informal requests in connection with such investigations, and are cooperating fully with each request for information.

 

 

ING Investor Elite

15

 

 

 

These initiatives may result in new legislation and regulation that could significantly affect the financial services industry, including businesses in which the company is engaged.

 

In light of these and other developments, U.S. affiliates of ING, including the company, periodically review whether modifications to their business practices are appropriate.

 

The Investment Options

 

You may allocate your premium payments to any of the available investment options. These options include the subaccounts of the variable account and the fixed account. The investment performance of a policy depends on the performance of the investment options you choose.

 

The Variable Account

 

We established the Select*Life Variable Account (the “variable account”) on October 11, 1984, as one of our separate accounts under the laws of the State of Minnesota. It is a unit investment trust, registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”).

 

We own all of the assets of the variable account and are obligated to pay all amounts due under a policy according to the terms of the policy. Income, gains and losses credited to, or charged against, the variable account reflect the investment experience of the variable account and not the investment experience of our other assets. Additionally, Minnesota law provides that we cannot charge the variable account with liabilities arising out of any other business we may conduct. This means that if we ever became insolvent, the variable account assets will be used first to pay variable account policy claims. Only if variable account assets remain after these claims have been satisfied can these assets be used to pay owners of other policies and creditors.

 

The variable account is divided into subaccounts. Each subaccount invests in a corresponding fund. When you allocate premium payments to a subaccount, you acquire accumulation units of that subaccount. You do not invest directly in or hold shares of the funds when you allocate premium payments to the subaccounts of the variable account.

 

Funds Available Through the Variable Account. The following chart lists the funds that are available through the variable account. For additional information about each fund’s investment adviser/subadviser and investment objective, see Appendix B to this prospectus. More detailed information about each fund can be found in each fund’s current prospectus.

Prior to April 28, 2006, the S Class shares of this fund were available through the variable account. Effective April 28, 2006, the I Class of fund shares replaced the S Class of fund shares. I Class shares have 0.25% lower total fund expenses than the S Class shares, and the effect of this transaction is to give policy owners an investment in the same fund managed by the same investment adviser at a lower cost.

See Appendix B to this prospectus for more information about the funds available through the variable account, including information about each fund’s investment adviser/subadviser and investment objective. Please read and retain the fund prospectuses for more information about each fund’s investment objective and policies and the risks associated with investing in the fund.

 

A fund available through the variable account is not the same as a retail mutual fund with the same or similar name. Accordingly, the management, expenses and performance of a fund is likely to differ from a similarly named retail mutual fund.

 

Voting Privileges. We invest each subaccount's assets in shares of a corresponding fund. We are the legal owner of the fund shares held in the variable account, and we have the right to vote on certain issues. Among other things, we may vote on issues described in the fund's current prospectus or issues requiring a vote by shareholders under the 1940 Act.

 

Even though we own the shares, we give you the opportunity to tell us how to vote the number of shares attributable to your policy. We count fractional shares. If you have a voting interest, we send you proxy material and a form on which to give us your voting instructions.

 

Each fund share has the right to one vote. The votes of all fund shares are cast together on a collective basis, except on issues for which the interests of the funds differ. In these cases, voting is on a fund-by-fund basis.

 

Examples of issues that require a fund-by-fund vote are changes in the fundamental investment policy of a particular fund or approval of an investment advisory agreement.

 

We vote the shares in accordance with your instructions at meetings of the fund's shareholders. We vote any fund shares that are not attributable to policies and any fund shares for which the owner does not give us instructions in the same proportion as we vote the shares for which we did receive voting instructions.

 

We reserve the right to vote fund shares without getting instructions from policy owners if the federal securities laws, regulations or their interpretations change to allow this.

 

You may instruct us only on matters relating to the funds corresponding to those subaccounts in which you have invested assets as of the record date set by the fund's Board for the shareholders meeting. We determine the number of fund shares in each subaccount of your policy by dividing your variable account value in that subaccount by the net asset value of one share of the matching fund.

 

 

ING Investor Elite

18

 

 

 

Right to Change the Variable Account. Subject to state and federal law and the rules and regulations thereunder, we may, from time to time, make any of the following changes to our variable account with respect to some or all classes of policies:

   Change the investment objective;

   Offer additional subaccounts which will invest in funds we find appropriate for policies we issue;

   Eliminate subaccounts;

   Close subaccounts or combine two or more subaccounts. If we close or combine a subaccount, unless you provide us with alternative allocation instructions, all future premiums directed to the subaccount that was closed or combined may be automatically allocated among the other subaccounts in which your policy value is allocated, on a proportionate basis. You may give us alternative allocation instructions at any time by contacting our Customer Service Center. See also the Transfers section of this prospectus, page 50, for information about making subaccount allocation changes;

   Substitute a new fund for a fund in which a subaccount currently invests. A substitution may become necessary if, in our judgment:

   A fund no longer suits the purposes of your policy;

   There is a change in laws or regulations;

   There is a change in the fund's investment objectives or restrictions;

   The fund is no longer available for investment; or

   Another reason we deem a substitution is appropriate.

   In the case of a substitution, the new fund may have different fees and charges than the fund it replaced;

   Transfer assets related to your policy class to another separate account;

   Withdraw the variable account from registration under the 1940 Act;

   Operate the variable account as a management investment company under the 1940 Act;

   Cause one or more subaccounts to invest in a fund other than, or in addition to, the funds currently available;

   Stop selling the policy;

   End any employer or plan trustee agreement with us under the agreement’s terms;

   Limit or eliminate any voting rights for the variable account;

   Make any changes required by the1940 Act or its rules or regulations; or

   Close a subaccount to new investments.

 

We will not make a change until it is effective with the SEC and approved by the appropriate state insurance departments, if necessary. We will notify you of changes. If you wish to transfer the amount you have in the affected subaccount to another subaccount or to the fixed account, you may do so free of charge. Just notify us at our Customer Service Center.

 

The Fixed Account

 

You may allocate all or a part of your net premium and transfer your policy value into the fixed account. We declare the interest rate that applies to all amounts in the fixed account. This interest rate is never less than 3.00%. Interest compounds daily at an effective annual rate that equals the declared rate. We credit interest to the fixed account on a daily basis. We pay interest regardless of the actual investment performance of our general account. We bear all of the investment risk for the fixed account.

 

ING Investor Elite

19

 

 

 

Your fixed account value equals the net premium you allocate to the fixed account, plus interest earned, minus amounts you transfer out or withdraw. It may be reduced by fees and charges assessed against your policy value.

 

The fixed account guarantees principal and is part of our general account. The general account supports our non-variable insurance and annuity obligations. We have not registered interests in the fixed account under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”). Also, we have not registered the fixed account or the general account as an investment company under the 1940 Act (because of exemptive and exclusionary provisions). This means that the general account, the fixed account and interests in it are generally not subject to regulation under these Acts.

 

The SEC staff has not reviewed the disclosures in this prospectus relating to the general account and the fixed account. These disclosures, however, may be subject to certain requirements of the federal securities law regarding accuracy and completeness of statements made.

 

DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT THE POLICY

 

This prospectus describes our standard ING Investor Elite variable universal life insurance policy. The policy provides death benefits, cash values and other features of traditional life insurance contracts. There may be variations in policy features, benefits and charges because of requirements of the state where we issue your policy. We describe all such differences in your policy.

 

If you would like to know about state variations, please ask your agent/registered representative. We can provide him/her with the list of variations that will apply to your policy.

 

We and our affiliates offer various other products with different features and terms than the policy offered through this prospectus, and that may offer some or all of the same funds. These products have different benefits, fees and charges, and may or may not better match your needs. Please note that some of the company's management personnel and certain other employees may receive a portion of their employment compensation based on the amount of policy values allocated to funds affiliated with ING. You should be aware that there may be alternative products available, and, if you are interested in learning more about these other products, contact our Customer Service Center or your agent/registered representative.

Purchasing a Policy

 

To purchase a policy you must submit an application to us. On that application you will, among other things, select:

   The amount of your initial insurance coverage (which generally must be at least $50,000);

   Your initial death benefit option;

   The death benefit qualification test to apply to your policy; and

   Any riders or optional benefits.

 

Additionally, on the application you will provide us with certain health and other necessary information. Upon receipt of an application, we will follow our underwriting procedures to determine whether the proposed insured person is insurable by us. Before we can make this determination, we may need to request and review medical examinations of and other information about the proposed insured person. Through our underwriting process, we also determine the risk class for the insured person if the application is accepted. Risk class is based on such factors as age, gender, health and occupation of the insured person. Risk class will impact the cost of insurance rates you will pay and may also affect premiums and other policy fees, charges and benefits.

 

We reserve the right to reject an application for any reason permitted by law. If an application is rejected, any premium received will be returned without interest.

 

On the date coverage under the policy begins (the “policy date”), the person on whose life we issue the policy (the “insured person”) generally can be no more than age 90. “Age” under the policy means the insured person's age nearest to the policy date. From time to time, we may accept an insured person who exceeds our normal maximum age limit. We will not unfairly discriminate in determining the maximum age at issue. All exceptions to our normal limits are dependent upon our ability to obtain acceptable reinsurance coverage for our risk with an older insured.

 

You may request that we back-date the policy up to six months to allow the insured person to give proof of a younger age for the purposes of your policy. Except for cash on delivery policies, we generally will not reissue a policy to change the policy date.

 

Important Information About the Term Insurance Rider. It may be to your economic advantage to include all or part of your insurance coverage under the Term Insurance Rider. Working with your agent, consider the factors described in the Term Insurance Rider section of this prospectus, page 41, when deciding whether to include coverage under the Term Insurance Rider and in what proportion to the total amount of coverage under your policy.

Premium Payments

 

Premium payments are flexible and you may choose the amount and frequency of premium payments, within limits, including:

   We may refuse to accept any premium less than $25;

   You cannot pay additional premiums after age 100;

   We may refuse any premium that would disqualify your policy as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code;

   We may refuse any premium that would cause your policy to become a modified endowment contract under Section 7702A of the Internal Revenue Code without your prior written acknowledgement accepting your policy as a modified endowment contract; and

   We may refuse to accept any premium that does not comply with our anti-money laundering program. See Anti-Money Laundering, page 65.

 

After we deduct the premium expense charge from your premium payments, we apply the remaining net premium to your policy as described below.

 

A premium payment is received by us when it is received at our offices. After you have paid your minimum initial premium, we suggest you send payments directly to us, rather than through your agent/registered representative, to assure the earliest crediting date.

 

Insurance coverage does not begin until we receive your minimum initial premium. The minimum initial premium is generally equal to at least the minimum premiums for the first three months. The minimum premium is based on monthly rates that vary according to the insured person's gender, risk class and age. Optional rider benefits have their own minimum premium rates. If you authorize premiums to be paid by electronic funds transfer, we will issue a policy upon receipt of the minimum premium for the first month and the required completed electronic funds transfer forms.

 

Your policy will indicate the minimum premium that applies to you. You are not required to pay the minimum premium, but payment of the minimum premium will keep your policy in force during the Basic Death Benefit Guarantee period. See Basic Death Benefit Guarantee, page 36. Payment of the minimum premium may or may not be enough to keep your policy in force beyond the Basic Death Benefit Guarantee period. Additionally, you may need to pay more than the minimum premium to keep one of the other death benefit guarantees in force. See Death Benefit Guarantees, page 35.

 

Premium Payments Affect Your Coverage. During any applicable death benefit guarantee period, the death benefit guarantee lasts only if your cumulative premium payments to the next monthly processing date, minus any partial withdrawals or loans, are at least equal to the sum of minimum premium payments applicable to the guarantee. If they are not and your surrender value or net policy value, as applicable, is not enough to pay the periodic fees and charges, when due, then your policy will enter the 61-day grace period and you must make a sufficient premium payment to avoid lapse and loss of insurance coverage. See Lapse, page 55.

Allocation of Net Premium. Until your initial net premium is allocated as described below, we hold premiums in a general suspense account. Premiums held in this suspense account do not earn interest.

 

We apply the initial net premium to your policy after all of the following conditions have been met:

   We receive the required initial minimum premium;

   All issue requirements have been received by our Customer Service Center; and

   We approve your policy for issue.

 

We allocate your initial net premium in the subaccount which invests in the ING Liquid Assets Portfolio on the valuation date next following your policy date. We later transfer the amount held in this subaccount to the fixed account and your selected subaccounts, based on your most recent premium allocation instructions. This transfer will generally occur on the sixteenth day following your policy date.

 

All net premiums we receive after this period are allocated to your policy on the valuation date of receipt. We will use your most recent premium allocation instructions specified in whole percentages totaling 100%.

 

Free Look Period

 

You have the right to examine your policy and return it to us (for any reason) within the period shown in the policy. The period during which you have this right is called the free look period and starts on the date you receive your policy. If you return your policy to us within the free look period, we cancel it as of your policy date.

 

If you cancel your policy during the free look period you will receive a refund equal to the greater of:

   All premium we have received; or

   Your policy value plus a refund of all charges deducted.

 

Temporary Insurance

 

If you apply and qualify, we may issue temporary insurance in an amount equal to the amount of insurance for which you applied, up to $4.5 million, which includes other in-force coverage you have with us.

 

Temporary insurance coverage begins when all of the following events have occurred:

   You have completed and signed our temporary insurance coverage form;

   We have received and accepted a premium payment of at least your minimum initial premium (selected on your application); and

   The necessary parts of the application are complete.

 

 

ING Investor Elite

23

 

 

 

Unless otherwise provided by state law, temporary insurance coverage ends on the earliest of:

   The date we return your premium payments;

   Five days after we mail notice of termination to the address on your application;

   Your policy date;

   The date we refuse to issue a policy based on your application; or

   90 days after you sign our temporary life insurance coverage form.

 

There is no death benefit under the temporary insurance coverage if any of the following events occurs:

   There is a material misrepresentation in your answers on the temporary insurance coverage form;

   There is a material misrepresentation in statements on your application;

   The person or persons intended to be insured die by suicide or self-inflicted injury; or

   The bank does not honor your premium check.

 

During the period of temporary insurance coverage your premium payments are held by us in a general suspense account until underwriting is completed and the policy is issued or the temporary insurance coverage otherwise ends. Premiums held in this suspense account do not earn interest and they are not allocated to the investment options available under the policy until a policy is issued. See Allocation of Net Premium, page 23. If a policy is not issued and temporary insurance coverage ends, any premium received will be returned without interest.

 

Fees and Charges

 

We deduct fees and charges under the policy to compensate us for:

   Providing the insurance benefits of the policy (including any rider benefits);

   Administering the policy;

   Assuming certain risks in connection with the policy; and

   Incurring expenses in distributing the policy.

 

The amount of a fee or charge may be more or less than the cost associated with the service or benefit. Accordingly, excess proceeds from one fee or charge may be used to make up a shortfall on another fee or charge, and we may earn a profit on one or more of these fees and charges. We may use any such profits for any proper corporate purpose, including, among other things, payments of sales expenses.

 

Transaction Fees and Charges

 

We deduct the following transaction fees and charges from your policy value each time you make certain transactions.

 

 

ING Investor Elite

24

 

 

 

Premium Expense Charge. We deduct a premium expense charge of 4.50% from each premium payment we receive.

 

This charge helps offset:

   The expenses we incur in selling the policy;

   The costs of various state and local taxes. We pay state and local taxes in almost all states. These taxes vary in amount from state to state and may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction within a state; and

   The cost associated with the federal income tax treatment of our deferred acquisition costs. This cost is determined solely by the amount of life insurance premium we receive.

 

Partial Withdrawal Fee. We deduct a partial withdrawal fee each time you take a partial withdrawal from your policy. The amount of this fee is currently $10, but we reserve the right to deduct up to $25 for each partial withdrawal. We deduct the partial withdrawal fee proportionately from your remaining fixed and variable account values.

 

This fee helps offset the expenses we incur when processing a partial withdrawal.

 

Surrender Charge. We deduct a surrender charge during the surrender charge period when you:

   Surrender your policy; or

   Decrease your insurance coverage.

 

The amount of the surrender charge depends on the amount of the insurance coverage surrendered or decreased and the surrender charge rates.

 

When you purchase a policy or increase your insurance coverage, we set surrender charge rates based on the gender, age and risk class of the insured person. These surrender charge rates remain level for the first five years then decrease uniformly each month to zero at the end of the surrender charge period. The length of the surrender charge period depends on the insured person's age when you purchase the policy or increase your insurance coverage.

Each coverage segment will have its own set of surrender charge rates which will apply only to that segment. See Changes in the Amount of Your Insurance Coverage, page 31. Surrender charge rates will not exceed $49 per $1,000 of insurance coverage and the rates that apply to you will be set forth in your policy. See the Transaction Fees and Charges table, page 8, for the minimum and maximum surrender charge rates and the rates for a representative insured person.

 

 

ING Investor Elite

25

 

 

 

For full surrenders, you will receive the surrender value of your policy. For decreases in the amount of insurance coverage, the surrender charge will reduce your policy value. If there are multiple segments of insurance coverage, the coverage decreases and surrender charges assessed will be processed on a pro rata basis.

 

In the early policy years the surrender charge usually exceeds the policy value because the surrender charge is usually more than the cumulative minimum premiums minus policy fees and charges. Therefore, you should purchase a policy only if you intend and have the financial capability to keep the policy in force for a substantial period of time.

 

This charge helps offset the expenses we incur in selling the policy.

 

Transfer Charge. We currently do not assess a charge for transfers between any of the investment options. We reserve the right, however, to charge up to $25 for each transfer. Transfers associated with policy loans, the dollar cost averaging or automatic rebalancing programs, exercise of the Overloan Lapse Protection Rider benefit, exercise of conversion rights or made in response to our notice to you that the optional Enhanced Death Benefit Guarantee Rider will terminate because your policy is not sufficiently diversified will not count as transfers when calculating any applicable transfer charge.

 

This charge helps offset the expenses we incur when processing transfers.

 

Excess Illustration Fee. We currently do not assess this fee, but we reserve the right to assess a fee of up to $50 for each illustration of your policy values you request after the first each policy year.

 

This fee helps offset the costs we incur when processing requests for excess illustrations.

 

Excess Annual Report Fee. We currently do not assess this fee, but we reserve the right to assess a fee of up to $50 for each annual report you request after the first each policy year.

 

This fee helps offset the costs we incur when processing requests for excess annual reports.

 

In the policy form the “monthly processing date” is referred to as the “Monthly Anniversary.”

 

Periodic Fees and Charges

 

We deduct the following periodic fees and charges from your policy value on the monthly processing date. The monthly processing date is the same date each month as your policy date. If that date is not a valuation date, then the monthly processing date is the next valuation date.

 

At any time you may choose one investment option from which we will deduct your periodic fees and charges. If you do not choose the investment option or the amount in your chosen investment option is not enough to cover the periodic fees and charges, then your periodic fees and charges are taken from the subaccounts and fixed account in the same proportion that your value in each has to your net policy value.

 

 

ING Investor Elite

26

 

 

 

Cost of Insurance. The cost of insurance charge is equal to our current monthly cost of insurance rates multiplied by the net amount at risk for each segment of your insurance coverage. The net amount at risk as calculated on each monthly processing date equals the difference between:

   Your current base death benefit, discounted to take into account one month's interest earnings at an assumed 3.00% annual interest rate; and

   Your policy value minus the periodic fees and charges due on that date, other than cost of insurance charges.

 

Monthly cost of insurance rates are based on the insured person's age at issue, gender, risk class and amount of insurance coverage on the policy date and each date you increase your insurance coverage (a “segment date”) and the policy year. They will not, however, be greater than the guaranteed cost of insurance rates shown in the policy, which are based on the 1980 Commissioner's Standard Ordinary Sex Distinct Mortality Tables. We will apply unisex rates where appropriate under the law. This currently includes the state of Montana. The rates that apply to you will be set forth in your policy. See the Periodic Fees and Charges table, page 9, for the minimum and maximum cost of insurance rates and the rates for a representative insured person.

 

Separate cost of insurance rates apply to each segment of your insurance coverage and your riders. The maximum rates for the initial and each new segment of your insurance coverage will be printed in your policy schedule pages.

 

The cost of insurance charge varies from month to month because of changes in your net amount at risk, changes in your death benefit and the increasing age of the insured person. The net amount at risk is affected by the same factors that affect your policy value, namely:

   The net premium applied to your policy;

   The fees and charges we deduct;

   Any partial withdrawals you take;

   Interest earnings on the amounts allocated to the fixed account;

   Interest earned on amounts held in the loan account; and

   The investment performance of the funds underlying the subaccounts of the variable account.

 

We calculate the net amount at risk separately for each segment of your insurance coverage.

 

The cost of insurance charge helps compensate us for the ongoing costs of providing insurance coverage, including the expected cost of paying death proceeds that may be more than your account value.

 

Administrative Charge. The monthly administrative charge is:

   $19 for policies with less than $100,000 of insurance coverage; and

   $15 for policies with $100,000 or more of insurance coverage.

 

The administrative charge helps compensate us for the costs associated with administering the policies.

 

ING Investor Elite

27

 

 

 

Monthly Amount Charge. During the first ten policy years (and for ten years following a requested increase in insurance coverage) we will deduct a monthly charge per $1,000 of insurance coverage. The monthly amount charge is based on the insured person's age at issue, gender, risk class and current amount of insurance coverage for each segment. Any decrease in insurance coverage or any change in insurance coverage resulting from a change in the death benefit option will result in a proportionate decrease in this charge. The rates that apply to you will be set forth in your policy. See the Periodic Fees and Charges table, page 9, for the minimum and maximum monthly amount charge rates and the rates for a representative insured person.

 

The monthly amount charge helps compensate us for expenses relating to the distribution of the policy, including agents' commissions, advertising and the printing of the prospectus and sales literature for new sales of the policy. A portion of this charge may also contribute to company profits.

 

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge. During the first ten policy years, the monthly mortality and expense risk charge is 0.041666% (0.50% annually) of your variable account value after all other monthly fees and charges are deducted. After the tenth policy year, this charge is eliminated.

 

This charge helps compensate us for the mortality and expense risks we assume when we issue a policy. The mortality risk is that insured people, as a group, may live less time than we estimated. The expense risk is that the costs of issuing and administering the policies and operating the subaccounts of the variable account are greater than we estimated.

 

Rider Fees and Charges

 

There may be separate fees and charges if you add any optional rider benefits or exercise certain automatic rider benefits. For more information about rider benefits and the applicable fees and charges, see the Optional Rider Fees and Charges table, beginning on page 10, and the Optional Rider Benefits section, page 37. See also the Transaction Fees and Charges table, page 8, and the Automatic Rider Benefits section, page 43.

 

Waiver and Reduction of Fees and Charges

 

We may waive or reduce any of the fees and charges under the policy, as well as the minimum amount of insurance coverage set forth in this prospectus. Any waiver or reduction will be based on expected economies that result in lower sales, administrative or mortality expenses. For example, we may expect lower expenses in connection with sales to:

   Certain groups or sponsored arrangements (including our employees, certain family members of our employees, our affiliates and our appointed sales agents);

   Corporate purchasers; or

   Our policyholders or the policyholders of our affiliated companies.

 

Any variation in fees and charges will be based on differences in costs or services and our rules in effect at the time. We may change our rules from time to time, but we will not unfairly discriminate in any waiver or reduction.

Fund Fees and Expenses

 

Each fund deducts management fees from the amounts allocated to the funds. In addition, each fund deducts other expenses which may include service fees which are used to compensate service providers, including the company and its affiliates, for administrative and policy owner services provided on behalf of the fund. Certain funds deduct a distribution or 12b-1 fee, which is used to finance any activity that is primarily intended to result in the sale of fund shares. Furthermore, certain funds may deduct redemption fees as a result of withdrawals, transfers, or other fund transactions you initiate. If applicable, we may deduct the amount of any redemption fees imposed by an underlying fund. Fund redemption fees, if any, are separate and distinct from any transaction or periodic fees and charges deducted from your policy value. For a more complete description of the funds' fees and expenses, review each fund's prospectus.

 

The company, or its U.S. affiliates, receives from each of the funds or the funds' affiliates varying levels and types of revenue with respect to each of the funds available through the policy. In terms of the total dollar amounts received, the greatest amount of revenue comes from assets allocated to funds managed by ING Investments, LLC or other company affiliates, which funds are either not subadvised or are subadvised by another company affiliate. Assets allocated to funds managed by a company affiliate, Directed Services, Inc., for example, but which are subadvised by unaffiliated third parties generate the next greatest amount of revenue. Finally, assets allocated to unaffiliated funds generate the least amount of revenue.

 

Types of Revenue Received from Affiliated Funds. Affiliated funds are (a) funds managed by ING Investments, LLC or other company affiliates, which funds are either not subadvised or are subadvised by another company affiliate; and (b) funds managed by a company affiliate but which are subadvised by unaffiliated third parties.

 

Revenues received by the company from affiliated funds and/or their affiliates may include:

Service fees that are deducted from fund assets; and

Revenues which may be based either on an annual percentage of average net assets held in the fund by the company or a percentage of the management fees. These revenues may be received as cash payments or according to a variety of financial accounting techniques which are used to allocate revenue and profits across ING businesses. For funds subadvised by unaffiliated third parties, once the subadviser has been paid, the adviser may share a portion of the remaining management fee with the company. Because subadvisory fees vary by subadviser, varying amounts of revenue are retained by the affiliated investment adviser and ultimately shared with the company.

 

Types of Revenue Received from Unaffiliated Funds. Revenue received from each of the unaffiliated funds or their affiliates are based on an annual percentage of the average net assets held in that fund by the company. Some unaffiliated funds or their affiliates pay us more than others and some of the amounts we receive may be significant.

 

 

ING Investor Elite

29

 

 

 

Revenues received by the company from unaffiliated funds and/or their affiliates may include:

   For certain funds, compensation paid from 12b-1 fees or service fees that are deducted from fund assets; and

   Additional payments for administrative, recordkeeping or other services which we provide to the funds or their affiliates or as an incentive for us to make the funds available through the policy. These additional payments may be used by us to finance distribution of the policy.

 

The three unaffiliated fund families which currently have funds offered through the policy, ranked according to total dollar amounts they paid to the company or its affiliates in 2005, are as follows:

   Fidelity® Variable Insurance Product Portfolios;

   American Funds Insurance Series; and

   Neuberger Berman AMT Portfolios®.

 

If the revenues received from affiliated funds were included in this list, payments to the company or its affiliates by ING Investments, LLC and other company affiliates would be at the top of the list.

 

In addition to the types of revenue received from affiliated and unaffiliated funds described above, affiliated and unaffiliated funds and their investment advisers, subadvisers or affiliates may participate at their own expense in company sales conferences or educational and training meetings. In relation to such participation, a fund’s investment adviser, subadviser or affiliate may help offset the cost of the meetings or sponsor events associated with the meetings. In exchange for these expense offset or sponsorship arrangements, the investment adviser, subadviser or affiliate may receive certain benefits and access opportunities to company sales representatives and wholesalers rather than monetary benefits. These benefits and opportunities include, but are not limited to:

   Co-branded marketing materials;

   Targeted marketing sales opportunities;

   Training opportunities at meetings;

   Training modules for sales personnel; and

   Opportunity to host due diligence meetings for representatives and wholesalers.

 

Management personnel of the company and of its affiliated broker-dealers may receive additional compensation if the overall amount of investments in funds advised by company affiliates meets certain target levels or increases over time. Compensation for certain management personnel, including sales management personnel, may be enhanced if the overall amount of investments in the policies and other products issued by the company or its affiliates increases over time. Certain sales management personnel may also receive compensation that is a specific percentage of the commissions paid to distributors or of purchase payments received under the policies.

Death Benefits

 

You decide the amount of life insurance protection you need, now and in the future. Generally, we require a minimum of $50,000 of coverage to issue your policy. We may lower this minimum for certain group, sponsored or corporate purchasers. The amount of insurance coverage in effect on your policy date is your initial coverage segment.

 

 

In the policy form the amount of insurance coverage you select is referred to as the “Face Amount.”

It may be to your economic advantage to include part of your insurance coverage under the Term Insurance Rider. See Important Information About the Term Insurance Rider, page 41.

 

Changes in the Amount of Your Insurance Coverage

 

Subject to certain limitations, you may change the amount of your insurance coverage. Changing the amount of your insurance coverage will generally not be allowed until after the first policy year. The change will be effective on the next monthly processing date after we receive your written request or the next monthly processing date after underwriting approval (if required), whichever is later.

 

There may be underwriting or other requirements that must be met before we will approve a change. After we approve your request to change the amount of insurance coverage under the policy, we will send a new policy schedule page to you. You should attach it to your policy. We may ask you to return your policy to our Customer Service Center so that we can make this change for you.

 

Increases in the amount of your insurance coverage must be at least $5,000 and may be permitted until age 90.

 

A coverage segment or segment is a block of insurance coverage. A requested increase in insurance coverage will cause a new coverage segment to be created. Once we create a new segment, it is permanent unless law requires differently.

 

Each new segment will have:

   A new surrender charge;

   New cost of insurance charges, guaranteed and current;

   A new incontestability period;

   A new suicide exclusion period; and

   A new minimum premium.

 

In determining the net amount at risk for each coverage segment we allocate the policy value first to the initial segment and any excess to additional segments starting with the first.

 

You may not decrease the amount of your insurance coverage below $50,000. Decreases in insurance coverage on policies with multiple coverage segments will be made on a pro rata basis.

 

ING Investor Elite

31

 

 

 

Decreases in insurance coverage may result in:

   Surrender charges on the amount of the decrease;

   Reduced minimum premium amounts; and

   Reduced cost of insurance charges.

 

We reserve the right to not approve a requested change in your insurance coverage that would disqualify your policy as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, we may refuse to approve a requested change in your insurance coverage that would cause your policy to become a modified endowment contract under Section 7702A of the Internal Revenue Code without your prior written acknowledgment accepting your policy as a modified endowment contract. Decreasing the amount of insurance coverage under your policy could cause your policy to be considered a modified endowment contract. If this happens, prior and subsequent distributions from the policy (including loans) may be subject to adverse tax treatment. You should consult a qualified tax adviser before changing your amount of insurance coverage. See Modified Endowment Contracts, page 59.

 

Death Benefit Qualification Tests

 

The death benefit proceeds are generally not subject to federal income tax if your policy continues to meet the federal income tax definition of life insurance. Your policy will meet this definition of life insurance provided that it meets the requirements of either the guideline premium test or the cash value accumulation test.

 

When you apply for a policy you must choose either the guideline premium test or the cash value accumulation test to make sure your policy complies with the Internal Revenue Code's definition of “life insurance.” You cannot change this choice once the policy is issued.

 

Guideline Premium Test. The guideline premium test requires that premium payments do not exceed certain statutory limits and your death benefit is at least equal to your policy value multiplied by a factor defined by law. The guideline premium test provides for a maximum amount of premium in relation to the death benefit and a minimum amount of death benefit in relation to policy value. The factors for the guideline premium test can be found in Appendix A to this prospectus.

 

Certain changes to a policy which uses the guideline premium test may allow the payment of premium in excess of the statutory limits in order to keep the policy from lapsing. In this circumstance, any such excess premium will be allocated to the fixed account in order for the policy to continue to meet the federal income tax definition of life insurance.

 

Cash Value Accumulation Test. The cash value accumulation test requires a policy's cash surrender value not to exceed the net single premium necessary to fund the policy's future benefits. Under the cash value accumulation test, there is generally no limit to the amount that may be paid in premiums as long as there is enough death benefit in relation to policy value at all times. The death benefit at all times must be at least equal to an actuarially determined factor, depending on the insured person's age, gender and risk class at any point in time, multiplied by the policy value. A description of how the cash value accumulation test factors are determined can be found in Appendix A to this prospectus.

 

ING Investor Elite

32

 

 

 

Which Death Benefit Qualification Test to Choose. The guideline premium test limits the amount of premium that may be paid into a policy. If you do not desire to pay premiums in excess of the guideline premium test limitations, you should consider the guideline premium test.

 

The cash value accumulation test does not limit the amount of premium that may be paid into a policy. If you desire to pay premiums in excess of the guideline premium test limitations you should elect the cash value accumulation test. However, any premium that would increase the net amount at risk is subject to evidence of insurability satisfactory to us. Required increases in the minimum death benefit due to growth in policy value will generally be greater under the cash value accumulation test than under the guideline premium test. Required increases in the minimum death benefit will increase the cost of insurance under the policy, thereby reducing the policy value.

 

Death Benefit Options

 

There are three death benefit options available under the base policy. You choose the option you want when you apply for the policy, but you may change that choice after the first policy year.

 

Option 1. Under death benefit Option 1, before age 100 the base death benefit is the greater of the amount of insurance coverage you have selected or your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A. Under this option your base death benefit will remain level unless your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor described in Appendix A exceeds the death benefit. In this case, your death benefit will vary as the policy value varies.

 

Option 2. Under death benefit Option 2, before age 100 the base death benefit is the greater of the amount of insurance coverage you have selected plus your policy value or your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A. Under this option your base death benefit will vary as the policy value varies.

 

Option 3. Under death benefit Option 3, before age 100 the base death benefit is the greater of the amount of insurance coverage you have selected plus premiums paid minus withdrawals taken or your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A. Under this option your base death benefit will vary as you pay premiums and take withdrawals or if your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor described in Appendix A exceeds the death benefit.

 

In the policy form, death benefit “Option 1” is referred to as the “Level Amount Option” or “Option A” death benefit “Option 2” is referred to as the “Variable Amount Option” or “Option B” and death benefit “Option 3” is referred to as the “Face Amount Plus Premium Amount Option” or “Option C.”

 

After age 100, the base death benefit under all options will generally be the greater of the amount of insurance coverage you have selected plus the amount of coverage, if any, under the Term Insurance Rider or your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor described in Appendix A. See Full Death Benefit Rider, page 44. If the Full Death Benefit Rider is not available in your state, the base death benefit after age 100 under all options is your policy value.

 

ING Investor Elite

33

 

 

 

Which Death Benefit Option to Choose. If you are satisfied with the amount of your existing insurance coverage and prefer to have premium payments and favorable investment performance reflected to the maximum extent in the policy value and lower cost of insurance charges, you should choose Option 1. If you prefer to have premium payments and favorable investment performance reflected partly in the form of an increasing death benefit, you should choose Option 2. If you require a specific death benefit which would include a return of the premium paid, such as under an employer sponsored benefit plan, Option 3 may best meet your needs.

 

Changing Death Benefit Options. After the first policy year, you may change from death benefit Option 1 or Option 3 to Option 2, or from death benefit Option 2 or Option 3 to Option 1. Changes to death benefit Option 3 are not allowed after your policy is issued. Evidence of insurability is currently not required for death benefit option changes, but we reserve the right to require such evidence in the future.

 

Changing your death benefit option may reduce or increase your insurance coverage but will not change the amount of your base death benefit. We may not approve a death benefit option change if it reduces the amount of insurance coverage below the minimum we require to issue your policy. On the effective date of your option change, your insurance coverage will change as follows:

 

Change From:

Change To:

Insurance Coverage Following the Change:

Option 1

Option 2

   Your insurance coverage before the change minus your policy value as of the effective date of the change.

 

Option 2

Option 1

   Your insurance coverage before the change plus your policy value as of the effective date of the change.

 

Option 3

Option 1

   Your insurance coverage before the change plus the sum of all premium payments we have received minus all partial withdrawals you have taken as of the effective date of the change.

 

Option 3

Option 2

   Your insurance coverage before the change plus the sum of all premium payments we have received minus all partial withdrawals you have taken minus your policy value as of the effective date of the change.

 

 

Your death benefit option change is effective on your next monthly processing date after we approve it.

 

After we approve your request, we send a new policy schedule page to you. You should attach it to your policy. We may ask you to return your policy to our Customer Service Center so that we can make this change for you.

 

 

ING Investor Elite

34

 

 

 

If a death benefit option change causes the amount of insurance coverage to change, no new coverage segment(s) is (are) created. Instead, the size of each existing segment(s) is (are) changed. If you change death benefit options, there is no change to the amount of term insurance coverage if you have added a Term Insurance Rider to your policy. See Term Insurance Rider, page 41.

 

If your death benefit option is changed to Option 1 because you exercised the Overloan Lapse Protection Rider, notwithstanding any other information in this section, your insurance coverage following the change will equal your policy value immediately before the change minus the Overloan Lapse Protection Rider charge with the difference multiplied by the appropriate guideline premium test factor described in Appendix A.

 

Changing your death benefit option may have tax consequences. You should consult a qualified tax adviser before making changes.

 

Death Benefit Proceeds

 

After the insured person's death, if your policy is in force we pay the death benefit proceeds to the beneficiaries. The beneficiaries are the people you name to receive the death benefit proceeds from your policy. The death benefit proceeds are equal to:

   Your base death benefit; plus

   The amount of any rider benefits; minus

   Any outstanding policy loan with accrued loan interest; minus

   Any outstanding fees and charges incurred before the insured person's death.

 

The death benefit is calculated as of the insured person's death and will vary depending on the death benefit option you have chosen.

 

Death Benefit Guarantees

 

The policy has three death benefit guarantees which provide that the policy will not lapse even if the surrender value or net policy value, as applicable, is not enough to pay the periodic fees and charges each month.

 

In general, the two most significant benefits of the death benefit guarantees are:

   During the early policy years, the surrender value may not be enough to cover the periodic fees and charges due each month, so that the Basic Death Benefit Guarantee may be necessary to avoid lapse of the policy. This occurs when the surrender charge exceeds the policy value in these years. Likewise, if you request an increase in the amount of your insurance coverage, an additional surrender charge will apply for the 15 years following the increase, which could create a similar possibility of lapse as exists during the early policy years; and

   To the extent the surrender value declines due to poor investment performance of the funds underlying the subaccounts of the variable account or due to an additional surrender charge after a requested increase in the amount of your insurance coverage, the surrender value or net policy value, as applicable, may not be sufficient even in later policy years to cover the periodic fees and charges due each month. Accordingly, either one of the other death benefit guarantees may be necessary in later policy years to avoid lapse of the policy.

 

 

ING Investor Elite

35

 

 

 

Basic Death Benefit Guarantee. The Basic Death Benefit Guarantee is standard on every policy. It provides a guarantee that your policy will not lapse during the guarantee period provided your cumulative premium payments, minus any partial withdrawals or loans, are at least equal to the sum of minimum premium payments through the next monthly processing date. For issue ages 0-65, the guarantee period lasts for the lesser of 15 years or to age 70. For issue ages 66 and above the guarantee period lasts for the lesser of five years or to age 80, but not less than one year. If your policy is rated substandard or if you add either Term Insurance Rider or Additional Insured Rider coverage to your policy, the guarantee period will be limited to no more than five years. There is no charge for this guarantee.

 

You should consider the following factors in relation to the Basic Death Benefit Guarantee:

   The amount of the minimum premium for your policy will be set forth in your policy (see Premium Payments, page 22);

   The minimum premium for your policy is based on monthly rates that vary according to the insured person's gender, risk class and age;

   Even though you may pay less than the minimum premium amount, you may lose the significant protection provided by the Basic Death Benefit Guarantee by doing so;

   A loan may cause the termination of this guarantee because we deduct your loan amount from cumulative premiums paid when calculating whether you have paid sufficient premiums to keep the guarantee in effect; and

   Even if the Basic Death Benefit Guarantee terminates, your policy will not necessarily lapse (see Lapse, page 55).

 

We will notify you if on any monthly processing date you have not paid enough premium to maintain the Basic Death Benefit Guarantee. This notice will show the amount of premium required to maintain this guarantee. If we do not receive the required premium payment within 61 days from the date of our notice, the Basic Death Benefit Guarantee will terminate.

 

You may reinstate the Basic Death Benefit Guarantee during the first five policy years, provided that you pay additional premium equal to:

   The sum of the minimum premium due since the policy date, including the minimum premium for the current monthly processing date; minus

   The sum of all premium paid minus any partial withdrawals and loans taken.

 

The amount necessary to reinstate the Basic Death Benefit Guarantee may exceed the amount needed to create sufficient surrender value to pay any periodic fees and charges due each month.

The Extended Death Benefit Guarantee is an optional rider benefit that was available with new policies until the later of November 24, 2003, or the date the Enhanced Lifetime Death Benefit Guarantee rider was approved in your state.

   This rider may not have been available for certain risk classes;

   You may terminate this rider at any time during the guarantee period upon written notice to us;

   A loan may cause the termination of this guarantee because we deduct your loan amount from cumulative premiums paid when calculating whether you have paid sufficient premiums to keep the guarantee in effect; and

We will notify you if on any monthly processing date you have not paid enough premium to keep this rider in force. This notice will show the amount of premium required to maintain this rider benefit. If we do not receive the required premium payment within 61 days from the date of our notice, this rider will terminate. If this rider terminates, it cannot be reinstated.

Enhanced Lifetime Death Benefit Guarantee Rider. The Enhanced Lifetime Death Benefit Guarantee Rider provides a guarantee that your policy and any Term Insurance Rider coverage will not lapse during your lifetime, provided:

   Your cumulative premium payments, minus any partial withdrawals or loans, are at least equal to the sum of the Enhanced Lifetime Death Benefit Guarantee premium payments to the next monthly processing date; and

   Your net policy value meets one of the following diversification requirements:

   Your net policy value is allocated to at least five investment options with no more than 35% invested in any one investment option; or

   At least 65% of your net policy value is allocated to one or more of the ING Lifestyle, ING MarketPro or ING MaketStyle portfolios.

 

You should consider the following factors when deciding whether to add the Enhanced Lifetime Death Benefit Guarantee Rider to your policy:

   You may add this rider only when you apply for the base policy;

   The Enhanced Lifetime Death Benefit Guarantee period begins on the policy date;

   The minimum premium required to keep this rider in effect will be set forth in your policy and be based on monthly rates that vary according to the insured person's gender, risk class and age;

   There is a monthly charge for this rider. This charge is based on a rate which varies depending on the issue age of the insured person (see Optional Rider Fees and Charges table, beginning on page 10). Each month the charge for this rider will be determined by dividing the amount of rider benefit by 1,000 and multiplying the result by the rate set forth in your policy. The rider benefit equals the amount of your basic insurance coverage plus the amount of Term Insurance Rider coverage, if any, minus your policy value;

   Transfers between investment options which are made in response to our notice to you that your policy is not sufficiently diversified will not count as transfers for purposes of any limits or restrictions on transfers which we may impose (see Transfers, page 50);

   This rider covers only your base policy and Term Insurance Rider, if any. If your policy and any Term Insurance Rider are kept in force because of the guarantee under this rider, coverage under all other riders will terminate;

   This rider cannot be added to a policy with death benefit Option 3;

   You may terminate this rider at any time during the guarantee period upon written notice to us;

   A loan may cause the termination of this guarantee because we deduct your loan amount from cumulative premiums paid when calculating whether you have paid sufficient premiums to keep the guarantee in effect; and

   Even if the Enhanced Lifetime Death Benefit Guarantee terminates, your policy will not necessarily lapse (see Lapse, page 55).

 

We will notify you if on any monthly processing date you have not paid enough premium to keep this rider in force or your policy is not sufficiently diversified. This notice will show the amount of premium required to maintain this rider benefit and, if applicable, explain the diversification requirement. If we do not receive the required premium payment within 61 days from the date of our notice, this rider will terminate. If this rider terminates, it cannot be reinstated.

Term Insurance Rider. The Term Insurance Rider provides level term insurance for the life of the insured person. You may apply for this rider only when you apply for the base policy. The minimum amount of coverage under this rider is $100,000.

 

You should consider the following factors when deciding whether to add the Term Insurance Rider to your policy:

   You cannot increase the amount of coverage under this rider after issue;

   You can decrease the amount of coverage under this rider after the second policy year;

   The minimum premium for this rider is based on monthly rates that vary according to the insured person's gender, risk class and age;

   Coverage under this rider will reduce the Basic Death Benefit Guarantee period;

   This rider does not have a surrender charge; and

   You cannot have this rider and Extended Death Benefit Guarantee Rider on the same policy.

 

Additionally, you can transfer your coverage under this rider to your base policy without evidence of insurability anytime your base death benefit is greater than your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor described in Appendix A. Cost of insurance rates for this new coverage segment will be the same as the cost of insurance rates for the initial coverage segment. Neither surrender charges nor periodic fees and charges will apply to this new coverage segment of the base policy.

 

Important Information about the Term Insurance Rider

 

It may be to your economic advantage to include all or part of your insurance coverage under the Term Insurance Rider. Working with your agent, consider the following factors when deciding whether to include coverage under the Term Insurance Rider and in what proportion to the total amount of coverage under your policy.

 

Cost of Insurance and Other Fees and Charges. The cost of insurance rates and other fees and charges affect the value of your policy. The lower the cost of insurance and other fees and charges, the greater the policy's cash value. Accordingly, please be aware that:

   The current cost of insurance rates for coverage under the Term Insurance Rider are generally less than the current cost of insurance rates for coverage under the base policy;

   The guaranteed maximum cost of insurance rates for coverage under the Term Insurance Rider are generally more than the guaranteed maximum cost of insurance rates for coverage under the base policy; and

   Some policy fees and charges that apply to coverage under the base policy may not apply to coverage under the Term Insurance Rider.

 

 

ING Investor Elite

41

 

 

 

Features and Benefits. Certain features and benefits are limited or unavailable if you have Term Insurance Rider coverage, including:

   Death Benefit Guarantees; and

   Cost of Living Rider Benefits.

 

Compensation. We generally pay more compensation to your agent on premiums paid for coverage under the base policy than we do on premiums paid for coverage under the Term Insurance Rider. See Distribution of the Policies, page 70.

 

With these factors in mind, you should discuss with your agent how the use of the Term Insurance Rider will affect the costs, benefits, features and performance of your policy. You should also review illustrations based on different combinations of base policy and Term Insurance Rider coverage so that you can decide what combination best meets your needs. The foregoing discussion does not contain all of the terms and conditions or limitations of coverage under the base policy or the Term Insurance Rider, and you should read them carefully to fully understand their benefits and limitations.

 

Waiver of Monthly Deduction Rider. Subject to certain limits, the Waiver of Monthly Deduction Rider provides that the policy's periodic fees and charges are waived while the insured person is totally disabled according to the terms of the rider. You may add this rider after your policy is issued, but it may not be added after the insured person reaches age 55.

 

You should consider the following factors when deciding whether to add the Waiver of Monthly Deduction Rider to your policy:

   The current cost of insurance rates for this rider are different than those for the base policy (see Optional Rider Fees and Charges table, beginning on page 10); and

   If death benefit Option 1 is in effect at the end of the first six months of total disability, your death benefit option will automatically be changed to Option 2. There will be no automatic change if Option 2 or Option 3 is in effect at the end of the first six months of total disability.

 

Your policy may contain either the Waiver of Monthly Deduction Rider or the Waiver of Monthly Specified Premium Rider, but not both. Also, you may not change from one of these riders to the other after your policy is issued.

 

Waiver of Specified Premium Rider. Subject to certain limits, the Waiver of Specified Premium Rider provides that a specified amount of premium will be credited to the policy each month while the insured person is totally disabled according to the terms of the rider. You may add this rider when you apply for the base policy or anytime after your policy is issued, but it may not be added after the insured person reaches age 55.

 

You should consider the following factors when deciding whether to add the Waiver of Specified Premium Rider to your policy:

   The current cost of insurance rates for this rider are different than those for the base policy (see Optional Rider Fees and Charges table, beginning on page 10);

   An increase in the specified premium or an increase in the amount of insurance coverage which results in an increase in specified premium, the new specified premium will be subject to underwriting approval; and

   You may not increase your insurance coverage while benefits are being paid under the terms of this rider.

 

 

ING Investor Elite

This rider cannot be added to a policy which uses the cash value accumulation test.

 

Your policy may contain either the Waiver of Monthly Specified Premium Rider or the Waiver of Monthly Deduction Rider, but not both. Also, you may not change from one of these riders to the other after your policy is issued.

 

Automatic Rider Benefits

 

The following rider benefits may come with your policy automatically, depending on your age and/or risk class. There may be an additional charge if you choose to exercise any of these rider benefits, and exercising the benefits may have tax consequences. See Rider Fees and Charges, page 28, and Accelerated Death Benefit Rider, page 43.

 

Accelerated Death Benefit Rider. Under certain circumstances, the Accelerated Death Benefit Rider allows you to accelerate benefits from the base policy that we otherwise would pay upon the insured person's death. Generally, we will provide an accelerated benefit under this rider if the insured person has a terminal illness that will result in his or her death within 12 months, as certified by a physician. The accelerated benefit may not be more than the lesser of $250,000 or 50% of the amount that would be payable at the death of the insured person, and the accelerated benefit will first be used to pay off any outstanding policy loans and interest due. The remainder of the accelerated benefit will be paid to you in a lump sum.

 

Consider the following factors when deciding whether to accelerate the death benefit under this rider:

   We assess an administrative charge of up to $300 when we pay the accelerated benefit (see Transaction Fees and Charges table, page 8);

   When we pay the accelerated benefit, we establish a lien against your policy equal to the amount of the accelerated benefit, plus the amount of the administrative charge, plus interest on the lien;

   Any subsequent death benefit proceeds payable under the policy will first be used to repay the lien;

   Withdrawals, loans and any other access to the policy value will be reduced by the amount of the lien;

   Accelerating the death benefit will not affect the amount of premium payable on the policy and any premiums required to keep the policy in force which are not paid by you will be added to the lien; and

   There may be tax consequences to requesting payment under this rider, and you should consult with a qualified tax adviser for further information.

 

Certain limitations and restrictions are described in the rider. Additionally, the benefit may vary by state. You should consult your agent/registered representative as to whether and to what extent the rider is available in your particular state and on any particular policy.

Cost of Living Rider. The Cost of Living Rider provides optional increases in the amount of base insurance coverage on the life of the insured person every two years without evidence of insurability. Increases are based on increases in the cost of living as measured by the Consumer Price Index.

 

You should consider the following factors when deciding whether to accept a cost of living adjustment to your policy:

   On each date the amount of insurance increases under this rider, the periodic fees and charges under the policy will increase to account for the increased costs of insurance and the increased Waiver of Monthly Deduction Rider benefit, if applicable;

   The minimum premium for the death benefit guarantees will increase, unless otherwise directed, on each date the amount of insurance increases under this rider; and

   If you choose not to accept a cost of living adjustment, this rider will automatically terminate as to future increases.

 

Full Death Benefit Rider. Under the Full Death Benefit Rider your policy will automatically continue beyond the policy anniversary nearest the insured person's 100th birthday. However, on that date we will:

   Change death benefit Option 2 and Option 3 to death benefit Option 1, if applicable;

   Change the death benefit under Option 1 to an amount equal to the greater of:

   Your requested amount of insurance coverage in effect at that time plus the amount of coverage, if any, under the Term Insurance Rider; or

   Your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor described in Appendix A.

   Transfer your variable account value to the fixed account;

   Terminate dollar cost averaging and automatic rebalancing programs; and

   Terminate all other riders.

 

Thereafter, insurance coverage under your policy will continue until the death of the insured person, unless the policy lapses or is surrendered. However, after that date:

   You may not make transfers from the fixed account to the subaccounts of the variable account;

   You may not make any further premium payments; and

   We will not deduct any further monthly charges.

 

There is no charge for this rider. This rider may not be available in all states. Contact your agent/registered representative or our Customer Service Center to find out if this rider is available in your state.

 

The tax consequences of coverage continuing after the insured person reaches age 100 are uncertain. You should consult a qualified tax adviser as to those consequences. See Continuation of a Policy, page 61.

 

Overloan Lapse Protection Rider. The Overloan Lapse Protection Rider is a benefit which guarantees that your policy will not lapse even if your surrender value or net policy value, as applicable, is not enough to pay the periodic fees and charges when due. This rider may help you avoid tax consequences resulting from your policy lapsing with a loan outstanding. See Distributions Other than Death Benefits, page 58.

 

ING Investor Elite

You may exercise this rider by written request if all of the following conditions are met:

   You elected to have your policy meet the requirements of the guideline premium test (see Death Benefit Qualification Tests, page 32);

   At least 15 years have elapsed since your policy date;

   You are at least age 75;

   Your loan account value is equal to or greater than the amount of insurance coverage selected under the base policy plus the amount of Term Insurance Rider coverage, if any;

   Your loan account value less any unearned loan interest does not exceed your policy value less the transaction charge for this rider (see Loan Account Value, page 48; see also Loan Interest, page 48);

   Exercise of this rider does not cause your policy to become a modified endowment contract under Section 7702A of the Internal Revenue Code (see Modified Endowment Contracts, page 59); and

   Exercise of this rider does not cause your policy to violate the statutory premium limits allowed under the guideline premium test (see Guideline Premium Test, page 32).

 

We will notify you if you meet all of these conditions and explain the consequences of choosing to exercise this rider.

 

You should consider the following consequences when deciding whether to exercise the Overloan Lapse Protection Rider:

   On the monthly processing date on or next following the date we receive your request to exercise this rider:

   We will assess a one time transaction charge. This charge equals 3.50% of your policy value (see Transaction Fees and Charges table, page 8);

   If another death benefit option is in effect, the death benefit option will automatically be changed to death benefit Option 1 (see Death Benefit Options, page 33);

   Amounts allocated to the subaccounts of the variable account will be transferred to the fixed account;

   All optional benefit riders will be terminated; and

   The amount of insurance coverage after exercise of this rider will equal your policy value (less the transaction charge) multiplied by the appropriate guideline premium test factor described in Appendix A.

   Insurance coverage under your policy will continue in force, subject to the following limitations and restrictions:

   We will continue to deduct monthly periodic fees and charges (other than the Mortality and Expense Risk charge which will no longer apply);

   You may not make any further premium payments;

   Any unpaid loan interest will be added to your loan account balance;

   You may not make any future transfers from the fixed account to the subaccounts of the variable account;

   You may not add any additional benefits by rider in the future; and

   You may not increase or decrease the amount of insurance coverage, change the death benefit option or make any partial withdrawals.

This rider is available on new policies issued on or after the later of November 21, 2005, or the date the rider is approved in your state. This benefit may vary by state. You should consult your agent/registered representative as to whether and to what extent the rider is available in your particular state and on any particular policy.

 

In the policy form the “policy value” is referred to as the “Accumulation Value,” the “fixed account value” is referred to as the “Fixed Accumulation Value,” and the “variable account value” is referred to as the “Variable Accumulation Value.”

 

Policy Value

 

Your policy value equals the sum of your fixed account, variable account and loan account values. Your policy value reflects:

   The net premium applied to your policy;

   The fees and charges that we deduct;

   Any partial withdrawals you take;

   Interest earned on amounts allocated to the fixed account;

   The investment performance of the funds underlying the subaccounts of the variable account; and

   Interest earned on amounts held in the loan account.

 

Fixed Account Value

Your fixed account value equals the net premium you allocate to the fixed account, plus interest earned, minus amounts you transfer out or withdraw. It may be reduced by fees and charges assessed against your policy value. See The Fixed Account, page 19.

 

Variable Account Value

 

Your variable account value equals your policy value attributable to amounts invested in the subaccounts of the variable account.

 

Determining Values in the Subaccounts. The value of the amount invested in each subaccount is measured by accumulation units and accumulation unit values. The value of each subaccount is the accumulation unit value for that subaccount multiplied by the number of accumulation units you own in that subaccount. Each subaccount has a different accumulation unit value.

 

The accumulation unit value is the value determined on each valuation date. The accumulation unit value of each subaccount varies with the investment performance of its underlying fund. It reflects:

   Investment income;

   Realized and unrealized gains and losses;

   Fund expenses (including fund redemption fees, if applicable); and

   Taxes, if any.

 

A valuation date is a date on which a fund values its shares and the New York Stock Exchange is open for business, except for days on which valuations are suspended by the SEC. Each valuation date ends at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. We reserve the right to revise the definition of valuation date as needed in accordance with applicable federal securities laws and regulations.

 

ING Investor Elite

46

 

 

 

You purchase accumulation units when you allocate premium or make transfers to a subaccount, including transfers from the loan account.

 

We redeem accumulation units:

   When amounts are transferred from a subaccount (including transfers to the loan account);

   For the monthly deduction of the periodic fees and charges from your variable account value;

   For policy transaction fees;

   When you take a partial withdrawal;

   If you surrender your policy; and

   To pay the death benefit proceeds.

 

To calculate the number of accumulation units purchased or sold we divide the dollar amount of your transaction by the accumulation unit value for the subaccount calculated at the close of business on the valuation date of the transaction.

 

The date of a transaction is the date we receive your premium or transaction request at our Customer Service Center, so long as the date of receipt is a valuation date. We use the accumulation unit value which is next calculated after we receive your premium or transaction request and we use the number of accumulation units attributable to your policy on the date of receipt.

 

We deduct the periodic fees and charges each month from your variable account value on the monthly processing date. If your monthly processing date is not a valuation date, the monthly deduction is processed on the next valuation date.

 

The value of amounts allocated to the subaccounts goes up or down depending on the investment performance of the corresponding funds. There is no guaranteed minimum value of amounts invested in the subaccounts of the variable account.

 

How We Calculate Accumulation Unit Values. We determine the accumulation unit value for each subaccount on each valuation date.

 

We generally set the accumulation unit value for a subaccount at $10 when the subaccount is first opened. After that, the accumulation unit value on any valuation date is:

   The accumulation unit value for the preceding valuation date; multiplied by

   The subaccount's accumulation experience factor for the valuation period.

 

Every valuation period begins at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on a valuation date and ends at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the next valuation date. We reserve the right to revise the definition of valuation date as needed in accordance with applicable federal securities laws and regulations.

 

ING Investor Elite

47

 

 

 

We calculate an accumulation experience factor for each subaccount every valuation date as follows:

   We take the net asset value of the underlying fund shares as reported to us by the fund managers as of the close of business on that valuation date;

   We add dividends or capital gain distributions declared and reinvested by the fund during the current valuation period;

   We subtract a charge for taxes, if applicable; and

   We divide the resulting amount by the net asset value of the shares of the underlying fund at the close of business on the previous valuation date.

 

Loan Account Value

 

In the policy form the “loan account value” is referred to as the “Loan Amount.”

 

When you take a loan from your policy we transfer your loan amount to the loan account as collateral for your loan. Your loan amount includes interest payable in advance to the next policy anniversary. The loan account is part of our general account and we charge interest on amounts held in the loan account. Your loan account value is equal to your outstanding loan amount plus any interest credited on the loan account value. See Loans, page 48.

 

 

Special Features and Benefits

 

Loans

 

You may borrow money from us using your policy as collateral for the loan. We reserve the right to limit borrowing during the first policy year. Unless state law requires otherwise, a new loan amount must be at least $500, and the amount you may borrow is limited to 90% of the surrender value of your policy. After age 65, we currently allow you to borrow up to 100% of the surrender value.

 

When you take a loan, we transfer an amount equal to your loan to the loan account. The loan account is part of our general account specifically designed to hold collateral for policy loans and interest.

 

Your loan request must be directed to our Customer Service Center. When you request a loan you may specify the investment options from which the loan collateral will be taken. If you do not specify the investment options, the loan collateral will be taken proportionately from each active investment option you have, including the fixed account.

 

If you request an additional loan, we add the new loan amount to your existing loan. This way, there is only one loan outstanding on your policy at any time.

 

Loan Interest. We credit amounts held in the loan account with interest at an annual rate of 3.00%. Interest we credit is allocated to the subaccounts and fixed account in the same proportion as your current premium allocation unless you tell us otherwise.

 

We also charge interest on loans. The annual interest rate charged is currently 4.76%.

 

ING Investor Elite

After the tenth policy year, the annual interest rate which we charge will be reduced to 2.91% (guaranteed not to exceed 3.38%) for that portion of the loan amount that is not greater than:

   Your variable account value plus your fixed account value; minus

   The sum of all premiums paid minus all partial withdrawals.

 

Loans with this reduced interest rate are preferred loans. This reduced interest rate may change at any time but is guaranteed not to exceed 3.38%.

 

Interest is payable in advance at the time you take any loan (for the rest of the policy year) and at the beginning of each policy year thereafter (for the entire policy year). If you do not pay the interest when it is due, we add it to your loan account balance.

 

We will refund to you any interest we have not earned if:

   Your policy lapses;

   You surrender your policy; or

   You repay your loan.

 

Loan Repayment. You may repay your loan at any time. However, unless you tell us otherwise we will treat amounts received as premium payments and not loan repayments. You must tell us if you want a premium payment to go towards repaying your loan.

 

When you make a loan repayment, we transfer an amount equal to your payment from the loan account to the subaccounts and fixed account in the same proportion as your current premium allocation, unless you tell us otherwise.

 

Effects of a Policy Loan. Using your policy as collateral for a loan will effect your policy in various ways. You should carefully consider the following before taking a policy loan:

   If you do not make loan repayments your policy could lapse because your surrender value or net policy value, as applicable, may not be enough to pay your fees and charges each month;

   A loan may cause the termination of the death benefit guarantees because we deduct your loan amount from cumulative premiums paid when calculating whether you have paid sufficient premiums to keep the death benefit guarantee in effect;

   Taking a loan reduces your opportunity to participate in the investment performance of the subaccounts and the interest guarantees of the fixed account;

   Accruing loan interest will change your policy value as compared to what it would have been if you did not take a loan;

   Even if you repay your loan, it will have a permanent effect on your policy value;

   If you do not repay your loan we will deduct any outstanding loan amount from amounts payable under the policy; and

   Loans may have tax consequences and if your policy lapses with a loan outstanding, you may have further tax consequences. See Distributions Other than Death Benefits, page 58.

Transfers

 

You currently may make an unlimited number of transfers of your variable account value between the subaccounts and to the fixed account. Transfers are subject to any conditions or limits that we or the funds whose shares are involved may impose, including:

   You may generally not make transfers until after the fifteenth day following your policy date (see Allocation of Net Premium, page 23);

   We reserve the right to limit you to 12 transfers each policy year;

   Although we currently do not impose a charge for transfers, we reserve the right to charge up to $25 for each transfer; and

   We may impose the transfer charge, limit the number of transfers each policy year, restrict or refuse transfers because of frequent or disruptive transfers, as described below.

 

Any conditions or limits we impose on transfers between the subaccounts or to the fixed account will generally apply equally to all policy owners. However, we may impose different conditions or limits on third parties acting on behalf of policy owners, such as market timing services.

 

Transfers from the fixed account to the subaccounts of the variable account are subject to the following additional restrictions:

   Only one transfer is permitted each policy year, and you may only make this transfer within 30 days of the anniversary of your policy date;

   You may only transfer up to 50% of your fixed account value unless the balance, after the transfer, would be less than $1,000 in which event you may transfer your full fixed account value; and

   Your transfer must be at least the lesser of $500 or your total fixed account value.

 

We reserve the right to liberalize these restrictions on transfers from the fixed account, depending on market conditions. Any such liberalization will generally apply equally to all policy owners. However, we may impose different restrictions on third parties acting on behalf of policy owners, such as market timing services.

 

We process all transfers and determine all values in connection with transfers on the valuation date we receive your request, except as described below for the dollar cost averaging or automatic rebalancing programs.

 

Dollar Cost Averaging. Anytime your net policy value is at least $5,000 you may elect dollar cost averaging.

 

Dollar cost averaging is a long-term investment program through which you direct us to automatically transfer at regular intervals a specific dollar amount from any of the subaccounts to one or more of the other subaccounts or to the fixed account. We do not permit transfers from the fixed account under this program. You may request that the dollar cost averaging transfers occur on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. You may discontinue this program at any time. Although we currently do not charge for this feature, we reserve the right to impose a charge in the future.

 

ING Investor Elite

This systematic plan of transferring policy values is intended to help reduce the risk of investing too much when the price of a fund's shares is high. It also helps reduce the risk of investing too little when the price of a fund's shares is low. Because you transfer the same dollar amount to the subaccounts each period, you purchase more units when the unit value is low and you purchase fewer units when the unit value is high.

 

Dollar cost averaging does not assure a profit nor does it protect you against a loss in a declining market.

 

You may discontinue your dollar cost averaging program at any time. We reserve the right to discontinue, modify or suspend this program, and dollar cost averaging will automatically terminate if:

   We receive a request to begin an automatic rebalancing program;

   The policy is in the grace period on any date when dollar cost averaging transfers are scheduled; or

   The specified transfer amount from any subaccount is more than the variable account value in that subaccount.

 

Automatic Rebalancing. Anytime your net policy value is at least $10,000 you may elect automatic rebalancing.

 

Automatic rebalancing is a program for simplifying the process of asset allocation and maintaining a consistent allocation of your variable and fixed account values among your chosen investment options. Although we currently do not charge for this feature, we reserve the right to impose a charge in the future.

 

If you elect automatic rebalancing, we periodically transfer amounts among the investment options to match the asset allocation percentages you have chosen. This action rebalances the amounts in the investment options that do not match your set allocation percentages. This mismatch can happen if an investment option outperforms another investment option over the time period between automatic rebalancing transfers.

 

Automatic rebalancing does not assure a profit nor does it protect you against a loss in a declining market.

 

You may discontinue your automatic rebalancing program at any time. We reserve the right to discontinue, modify or suspend this program, and automatic rebalancing will automatically terminate if:

   We receive a request to transfer policy values among the investment options;

   We receive a request to begin a dollar cost averaging program;

   The policy is in the grace period on any date when automatic rebalancing transfers are scheduled; or

   The sum of your variable and fixed account values is less than $7,500 on any date when automatic rebalancing transfers are scheduled.

 

 

ING Investor Elite

Limits on Frequent or Disruptive Transfers. The policy is not designed to serve as a vehicle for frequent transfers. Frequent transfer activity can disrupt management of a fund and raise its expenses through:

   Increased trading and transaction costs;

   Forced and unplanned portfolio turnover;

   Lost opportunity costs; and

   Large asset swings that decrease the fund's ability to provide maximum investment return to all policy owners.

 

This in turn can have an adverse effect on fund performance. Accordingly, individuals or organizations that use market-timing investment strategies or make frequent transfers should not purchase the policy.

 

We have an excessive trading policy and monitor transfer activity. You will violate our excessive trading policy if your transfer activity:

  Exceeds our current definition of excessive trading, as defined below;

  Is identified as problematic by an underlying fund (even if the activity does not exceed our monitoring standard for excessive trading);

  Is determined, in our sole discretion, to be disruptive due to the excessive dollar amounts involved; or

  Is determined, in our sole discretion, to be not in the best interests of other policy owners.

 

If we determine that you have violated our excessive trading policy, we will take the following actions. Upon the first violation, we will send to you a one time warning letter. After a second violation we will suspend your transfer privileges via facsimile, telephone, email and the internet, and your transfer privileges will be limited to submission by regular U.S. mail for a period of six months. Our suspension of your electronic transfer privileges will relate to all transfers, not just those fund(s) involved in the excessive transfer activity, and will extend to other company variable life insurance policies and variable annuity contracts that you own. It may be extended to other variable policies and contracts that are issued to you by our affiliates. At the end of the six month suspension period, your electronic transfer privileges will be reinstated. If, however, you violate our excessive trading policy again, after your electronic transfer privileges have been reinstated, we will suspend your electronic transfer privileges permanently. We will notify you in writing if we take any of these actions.

 

Additionally, if we determine that our excessive trading policy has been violated by a market-timing organization or an individual or other party that is authorized to give transfer instructions on your behalf, whether such violation relates to your policy or another owner’s variable policy or contract, we will also take the following actions, without prior notice:

   Not accept transfer instructions from that organization, individual or other party; and

   Not accept preauthorized transfer forms from market timing organizations, individuals or other parties acting on behalf of more than one policy owner at a time.

 

Our current definition of excessive trading is more than one purchase and sale of the same underlying fund within a 30-day period. We do not count transfers associated with scheduled dollar cost averaging or automatic rebalancing programs (including reoccurring rebalancing transactions under corporate owned policies) and transfers involving certain de minimis amounts when determining whether transfer activity is excessive.

 

ING Investor Elite

52

 

 

 

The company does not allow exceptions to our excessive trading policy. We reserve the right to modify our excessive trading policy, or the policy as it relates to a particular fund, at any time without prior notice, depending on, among other factors, the needs of the underlying fund(s), the best interests of policy owners and fund investors and/or state or federal regulatory requirements. If we modify our policy, it will be applied uniformly to all policy owners or, as applicable, to all policy owners investing in the underlying fund.

 

Our excessive trading policy may not be completely successful in preventing market timing or excessive trading activity. If it is not completely successful fund performance and management may be adversely affected, as noted above.

 

Limits Imposed by the Funds. Most underlying funds have their own excessive trading policies, and orders for the purchase of a fund’s shares are subject to acceptance or rejection by the underlying fund. We reserve the right to reject, without prior notice, any allocation or transfer to a subaccount if the corresponding fund will not accept the allocation or transfer for any reason.

 

Conversion to a Guaranteed Policy. During the first two policy years and the first two years after an increase in the amount of your insurance coverage, you may permanently convert your policy or the requested increase in insurance coverage to a guaranteed policy, unless state law requires differently. If you elect to make this change, unless state law requires that we issue to you a new guaranteed policy, we will permanently transfer the amounts you have invested in the subaccounts of the variable account to the fixed account and allocate all future net premium to the fixed account. After you exercise this right you may not allocate future premium payments or make transfers to the subaccounts of the variable account. We do not charge for this change. Contact our Customer Service Center or your agent/registered representative for information about the conversion rights available in your state.

 

Partial Withdrawals

 

Beginning in the second policy year you may withdraw part of your policy's surrender value. Only one partial withdrawal is currently allowed each policy year during policy years two through ten and 12 each policy year thereafter. A partial withdrawal must be at least $500. In policy years two through ten you may not withdraw more than 20% of your surrender value.

 

We currently charge $10 for each partial withdrawal, but we reserve the right to charge up to $25 for each partial withdrawal. See Partial Withdrawal Fee, page 25.

 

Unless you specify a different allocation, we will take partial withdrawals from the fixed account and the subaccounts of the variable account in the same proportion that your value in each has to your net policy value on the monthly processing date. We will determine these proportions at the end of the valuation period during which we receive your partial withdrawal request.

 

Unless you request otherwise, proceeds from a partial withdrawal generally will be paid into an interest bearing account which you can access, without penalty, through a checkbook feature. See Transaction Processing, page 66.

 

ING Investor Elite

53

 

 

 

Effects of a Partial Withdrawal. We will reduce the policy value by the amount of a partial withdrawal. We will also reduce the death benefit by the amount of a partial withdrawal, or, if the death benefit is based on a factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A, by an amount equal to the factor multiplied by the amount of the partial withdrawal. A partial withdrawal may also cause the termination of the death benefit guarantees because we deduct the amount of the partial withdrawal from the total premiums paid when calculating whether you have paid sufficient premiums in order to maintain the death benefit guarantees.

 

If death benefit Option 1 is in effect, we will decrease the amount of insurance coverage by the amount of a partial withdrawal. Decreases in insurance coverage on policies with multiple coverage segments will be made on a pro rata basis.

 

Therefore, partial withdrawals may affect the way in which the cost of insurance is calculated and the amount of pure insurance protection under the policy. See Cost of Insurance, page 27.

 

If death benefit Option 2 or Option 3 is in effect, a partial withdrawal will not affect the amount of insurance coverage.

 

We will not allow a partial withdrawal if the amount of insurance coverage after the withdrawal would be less than $50,000.

 

A partial withdrawal may have tax consequences depending on the circumstances of such withdrawal. See Tax Status of the Policy, page 57.

 

Paid-Up Life Insurance

 

You may elect, at any time before the insured person's age 100, to apply the surrender value to purchase fixed paid up life insurance. The amount by which any paid up insurance will exceed the surrender value cannot be greater than the amount by which the death benefit exceeds the policy value. Any surrender value not used to purchase paid-up life insurance will be paid to you in cash and treated as a partial distribution for federal income tax purposes.

 

If you elect to continue your policy as fixed paid-up life insurance:

   The surrender value is transferred to the fixed account;

   You cannot pay additional premiums;

   You cannot take any partial withdrawals; and

   We will not deduct any further periodic fees and charges.

 

Applying your policy's surrender value to purchase paid up insurance may have tax consequences. See Tax Status of the Policy, page 57.

 

ING Investor Elite

54

 

 

 

Termination of Coverage

 

Your insurance coverage will continue under the policy until you surrender your policy or it lapses.

 

Surrender

 

You may surrender your policy for its surrender value any time after the free look period while the insured person is alive. Your surrender value is your policy value minus any surrender charge, loan amount and unpaid fees and charges.

 

In the policy form the “surrender value” is referred to as the “Cash Surrender Value.”

 

You may take your surrender value in other than one payment.

 

We compute your surrender value as of the valuation date we receive your written surrender request and policy (or lost policy form) at our Customer Service Center. All insurance coverage ends on the date we receive your surrender request and policy.

 

Unless you request otherwise, we will deposit your surrender value into an interest bearing account which you can access, without penalty, through a checkbook feature. See Transaction Processing, page 66.

 

Surrender of your policy may have adverse tax consequences. See Distributions Other than Death Benefits, page 58.

 

Lapse

 

Your policy will not lapse and your insurance coverage under the policy will continue if on any monthly processing date:

   A death benefit guarantee is in effect; or

   Your surrender value or net policy value, as applicable, is enough to pay the periodic fees and charges when due.

 

Grace Period. If on a monthly processing date you do not meet either of these conditions, your policy will enter the 61-day grace period during which you must make a sufficient premium payment to avoid having your policy lapse and insurance coverage terminate.

 

We will notify you that your policy is in a grace period at least 30 days before it ends. We will send this notice to you (and a person to whom you have assigned your policy) at your last known address in our records. We will notify you of the premium payment necessary to prevent your policy from lapsing. This amount generally equals the past due charges, plus the estimated periodic fees and charges and charges of any optional rider benefits for the next two months. If we receive payment of the required amount before the end of the grace period, we apply it to your policy in the same manner as your other premium payments, then we deduct the overdue amounts from your policy value.

 

If you do not pay the full amount within the 61-day grace period, your policy and its riders will lapse without value. We withdraw your remaining variable and fixed account values, deduct amounts you owe us and inform you that your coverage has ended.

 

ING Investor Elite

55

 

 

 

If the insured person dies during the grace period, we do pay death benefit proceeds to your beneficiaries with reductions for your loan amount and periodic fees and charges owed.

 

During the early policy years your surrender value will generally not be enough to cover the periodic fees and charges each month, and you will generally need to pay at least the minimum premium amount (to maintain the Basic Death Benefit Guarantee) for the policy not to lapse.

 

If your policy lapses, any distribution of policy value may be subject to current taxation. See Distributions Other than Death Benefits, page 58.

 

Reinstatement

 

Reinstatement means putting a lapsed policy back in force. You may reinstate a lapsed policy by written request any time within five years after it has lapsed. A policy that was surrendered may not be reinstated.

 

To reinstate the policy and any riders, you must submit evidence of insurability satisfactory to us and pay a premium large enough to keep the policy and any rider benefits in force for at least two months. If you had a policy loan existing when coverage lapsed, we will reinstate it with accrued loan interest to the date of the lapse.

 

A lapsed Basic Death Benefit Guarantee cannot be reinstated after the fifth policy year. Lapsed death benefit guarantee riders cannot be reinstated.

 

A policy that lapses during a seven pay testing period and is reinstated more than 90 days after lapsing may be classified as a modified endowment contract for tax purposes. In general, a seven pay testing period is the first seven policy years and the first seven years after certain changes to your policy. You should consult with a qualified tax adviser to determine whether reinstating a lapsed policy will cause it to be classified as a modified endowment contract. See Modified Endowment Contracts, page 59.

 

TAX CONSIDERATIONS

 

The following summary provides a general description of the federal income tax considerations associated with the policy and does not purport to be complete or to cover federal estate, gift and generation-skipping tax implications, state and local taxes or other tax situations. This discussion is not intended as tax advice. Counsel or other qualified tax advisers should be consulted for more complete information. This discussion is based upon our understanding of the present federal income tax laws. No representation is made as to the likelihood of continuation of the present federal income tax laws or as to how they may be interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”).

 

The following discussion generally assumes that the policy will qualify as a life insurance contract for federal tax purposes.

 

ING Investor Elite

Tax Status of the Company

 

We are taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. The variable account is not a separate entity from us. Therefore, it is not taxed separately as a “regulated investment company,” but is taxed as part of the company. We automatically apply investment income and capital gains attributable to the separate account to increase reserves under the policy. Because of this, under existing federal tax law we believe that any such income and gains will not be taxed to us. In addition, any foreign tax credits attributable to the separate account will first be used to reduce any income taxes imposed on the variable account before being used by the company.

 

In summary, we do not expect that we will incur any federal income tax liability attributable to the variable account and we do not intend to make provisions for any such taxes. However, if changes in the federal tax laws or their interpretation result in our being taxed on income or gains attributable to the variable account, then we may impose a charge against the variable account (with respect to some or all of the policies) to set aside provisions to pay such taxes.

 

Tax Status of the Policy

 

This policy is designed to qualify as a life insurance contract under the Internal Revenue Code. All terms and provisions of the policy shall be construed in a manner which is consistent with that design. In order to qualify as a life insurance contract for federal income tax purposes and to receive the tax treatment normally accorded life insurance contracts under federal tax law, a policy must satisfy certain requirements which are set forth in Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code. Specifically, the policy must meet the requirements of either the cash value accumulation test or the guideline premium test. See Death Benefit Qualification Tests, page 32. If your variable life policy does not satisfy one of these two alternate tests, it will not be treated as life insurance under Internal Revenue Code 7702. You would then be subject to federal income tax on your policy income as you earn it. While there is very little guidance as to how these requirements are applied, we believe it is reasonable to conclude that our policies satisfy the applicable requirements. If it is subsequently determined that a policy does not satisfy the applicable requirements, we will take appropriate and reasonable steps to bring the policy into compliance with such requirements and we reserve the right to restrict policy transactions or modify your policy in order to do so. See Tax Treatment of Policy Death Benefits, page 58.

Diversification and Investor Control Requirements

 

In addition to meeting the Internal Revenue Code Section 7702 tests, Internal Revenue Code Section 817(h) requires investments within a separate account, such as our variable account, to be adequately diversified. The Treasury has issued regulations which set the standards for measuring the adequacy of any diversification, and the Internal Revenue Service has published various revenue rulings and private letter rulings addressing diversification issues. To be adequately diversified, each subaccount and its corresponding fund must meet certain tests. If these tests are not met, your variable life policy will not be adequately diversified and not treated as life insurance under Internal Revenue Code Section 7702. You would then be subject to federal income tax on your policy income as you earn it. Each subaccount's corresponding fund has represented that it will meet the diversification standards that apply to your policy. Accordingly, we believe it is reasonable to conclude that the diversification requirements have been satisfied. If it is determined, however, that your variable life policy does not satisfy the applicable diversification regulations, we will take appropriate and reasonable steps to bring your policy into compliance with such regulations and we reserve the right to modify your policy as necessary in order to do so.

 

In certain circumstances, owners of a variable life insurance policy have been considered, for federal income tax purposes, to be the owners of the assets of the separate account supporting their policies, due to their ability to exercise investment control over such assets. When this is the case, the policy owners have been currently taxed on income and gains attributable to the separate account assets. Your ownership rights under your policy are similar to, but different in some ways from those described by the IRS in rulings in which it determined that policy owners are not owners of separate account assets. For example, you have additional flexibility in allocating your premium payments and your policy values. These differences could result in the IRS treating you as the owner of a pro rata share of the variable account assets. We do not know what standards will be set forth in the future, if any, in Treasury regulations or rulings. We reserve the right to modify your policy, as necessary, to try to prevent you from being considered the owner of a pro rata share of the variable account assets, or to otherwise qualify your policy for favorable tax treatment.

 

Tax Treatment of Policy Death Benefits

 

The death benefit, or an accelerated death benefit, under a policy is generally excludable from the gross income of the beneficiary(ies) under Section 101(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code. However, there are exceptions to this general rule. Additionally, federal and local transfer, estate, inheritance and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of policy proceeds depend on the circumstances of each policy owner or beneficiary(ies). A qualified tax adviser should be consulted about these consequences.

 

Distributions Other than Death Benefits

 

Generally, the policy owner will not be taxed on any of the policy value until there is a distribution. When distributions from a policy occur, or when loan amounts are taken from or secured by a policy, the tax consequences depend on whether or not the policy is a “modified endowment contract.”

 

ING Investor Elite

58

 

 

Modified Endowment Contracts

 

Under the Internal Revenue Code, certain life insurance contracts are classified as “modified endowment contracts” and are given less favorable tax treatment than other life insurance contracts. Due to the flexibility of the policies as to premiums and benefits, the individual circumstances of each policy will determine whether or not it is classified as a modified endowment contract. The rules are too complex to be summarized here, but generally depend on the amount of premiums we receive during the first seven policy years. Certain changes in a policy after it is issued, such as reduction or increase in benefits or policy reinstatement, could also cause it to be classified as a modified endowment contract or increase the period during which the policy must be tested. A current or prospective policy owner should consult with a qualified tax adviser to determine whether or not a policy transaction will cause the policy to be classified as a modified endowment contract.

 

If a policy becomes a modified endowment contract, distributions that occur during the policy year will be taxed as distributions from a modified endowment contract. In addition, distributions from a policy within two years before it becomes a modified endowment contract will be taxed in this manner. This means that a distribution made from a policy that is not a modified endowment contract could later become taxable as a distribution from a modified endowment contract.

 

Additionally, all modified endowment contracts that are issued by us (or our affiliates) to the same policy owner during any calendar year are treated as one modified endowment contract for purposes of determining the amount includible in the policy owner's income when a taxable distribution occurs.

 

Once a policy is classified as a modified endowment contract, the following tax rules apply both prospectively and to any distributions made in the prior two years:

   All distributions other than death benefits, including distributions upon surrender and withdrawals, from a modified endowment contract will be treated first as distributions of gain, if any, taxable as ordinary income. Amounts will be treated as tax-free recovery of the policy owner's investment in the policy only after all gain has been distributed. The amount of gain in the policy will be equal to the difference between the policy's value and the investment in the policy;

   Loan amounts taken from or secured by a policy classified as a modified endowment contract, and also assignments or pledges of such a policy (or agreements to assign or pledge such a policy), are treated as distributions and taxed first as distributions of gain, if any, taxable as ordinary income and as tax-free recovery of the policy owner's investment in the policy only after all gain has been distributed; and

   A 10% additional income tax penalty may be imposed on the distribution amount subject to income tax. This tax penalty generally does not apply to distributions (1) made on or after the date on which the taxpayer attains age 59½ (b) which are attributable to the taxpayer becoming disabled (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code); or (c) which are part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the taxpayer or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the taxpayer and his or her beneficiary. Consult a qualified tax adviser to determine whether or not you may be subject to this penalty tax.

Policies That Are Not Modified Endowment Contracts

 

Distributions other than death benefits from a policy that is not classified as a modified endowment contract are generally treated first as a recovery of the policy owner's investment in the policy. Only after the recovery of all investment in the policy is there taxable income. However, certain distributions made in connection with policy benefit reductions during the first 15 policy years may be treated in whole or in part as ordinary income subject to tax. Consult a qualified tax adviser to determine whether or not any distributions made in connection with a reduction in policy benefits will be subject to tax.

 

Loan amounts from or secured by a policy that is not a modified endowment contract are generally not taxed as distributions. However, the tax consequences of such a loan that is outstanding after policy year ten are uncertain and a qualified tax adviser should be consulted about such loans. Finally, neither distributions from, nor loan amounts from or secured by, a policy that is not a modified endowment contract are subject to the 10% additional income tax.

 

Investment in the Policy

 

Your investment in the policy is generally the total of your aggregate premiums. When a distribution is taken from the policy, your investment in the policy is reduced by the amount of the distribution that is tax free.

 

Other Tax Matters

 

Policy Loans

 

In general, interest on a policy loan will not be deductible. A limited exception to this rule exists for certain interest paid in connection with certain “key person” insurance. You should consult a qualified tax adviser to determine whether you qualify under this exception.

 

Moreover, the tax consequences associated with a preferred loan (a loan where the interest rate charged is less than or equal to the interest rate credited) available in the policy are uncertain. Before taking out a policy loan, you should consult a tax adviser as to the tax consequences.

 

If a loan from a policy is outstanding when the policy is surrendered or lapses, then the amount of the outstanding indebtedness will be added to the amount treated as a distribution from the policy and will be taxed accordingly.

 

ING Investor Elite

60

 

 

 

Accelerated Death Benefit Rider

 

We believe that payments under the Accelerated Death Benefit Rider should be fully excludable from the gross income of the beneficiary if the beneficiary is the insured under the policy, or is an individual who has no business or financial connection with the insured. (See Accelerated Death Benefit Rider, page 43, for more information about this rider.) However, you should consult a qualified tax adviser about the consequences of adding this rider to a policy or requesting payment under this rider.

 

Continuation of a Policy

 

The tax consequences of continuing the policy after the insured person reaches age 100 are unclear. For example, in certain situations it is possible that after the insured person reaches age 100 the IRS could treat you as being in constructive receipt of the policy value if the policy value becomes equal to the death benefit. If this happens, an amount equal to the excess of the policy value over the investment in the policy would be includible in your income at that time. Because we believe the policy will continue to constitute life insurance at that time and the IRS has not issued any guidance on this issue, we do not intend to tax report any earnings due to the possibility of constructive receipt in this circumstance. You should consult a tax adviser if you intend to keep the policy in force after the insured person reaches age 100.

 

Section 1035 Exchanges

 

Internal Revenue Code Section 1035 provides, in certain circumstances, that no gain or loss will be recognized on the exchange of one life insurance policy solely for another life insurance policy or an endowment or annuity contract. We accept 1035 exchanges with outstanding loans. Special rules and procedures apply to 1035 exchanges. These rules can be complex, and if you wish to take advantage of Section 1035, you should consult your qualified tax adviser.

 

Tax-exempt Policy Owners

 

Special rules may apply to a policy that is owned by a tax-exempt entity. Tax-exempt entities should consult a qualified tax adviser regarding the consequences of purchasing and owning a policy. These consequences could include an effect on the tax-exempt status of the entity and the possibility of the unrelated business income tax.

 

Tax Law Changes

 

Although the likelihood of legislative action or tax reform is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the policy could be changed by legislation or other means. It is also possible that any change may be retroactive (that is, effective before the date of the change). You should consult a qualified tax adviser with respect to legislative developments and their effect on the policy.

Policy Changes to Comply with the Law

 

So that your policy continues to qualify as life insurance under the Internal Revenue Code, we reserve the right to refuse to accept all or part of your premium payments or to change your death benefit. We may refuse to allow you to make partial withdrawals that would cause your policy to fail to qualify as life insurance. We also may make changes to your policy or its riders or make distributions from your policy to the degree that we deem necessary to qualify your policy as life insurance for tax purposes.

 

If we make any change of this type, it applies the same way to all affected policies.

 

Any increase in your death benefit will cause an increase in your cost of insurance charges.

 

Policy Availability and Qualified Plans

 

The policy is not available for sale to and cannot be acquired with funds that are assets of (i) an employee benefit plan as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and that is subject to Title I of ERISA; (ii) a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code; or (iii) an entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of the investment by an employee benefit plan or other plan in such entity within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101 or otherwise.

 

Policy owners may use the policy in various other arrangements, including:

   Non-qualified deferred compensation or salary continuance plans;

   Split dollar insurance plans;

   Executive bonus plans;

   Retiree medical benefit plans; and

   Other plans.

 

The tax consequences of these plans may vary depending on the particular facts and circumstances of each arrangement. If you want to use your policy with any of these various arrangements, you should consult a qualified tax adviser regarding the tax issues of your particular arrangement.

 

Life Insurance Owned by Businesses

 

In recent years, Congress has adopted new rules relating to life insurance owned by businesses. For example, in the case of a policy issued to a nonnatural taxpayer, or held for the benefit of such an entity, a portion of the taxpayer's otherwise deductible interest expenses may not be deductible as a result of ownership of a policy even if no loans are taken under the policy. (An exception to this rule is provided for certain life insurance contracts which cover the life of an individual who is a 20% owner, or an officer, director, or employee of a trade or business.) As another example, special rules apply if you are subject to the alternative minimum tax. Any business contemplating the purchase of a new policy or a change in an existing policy should consult a qualified tax adviser.

Income Tax Withholding

 

The IRS requires us to withhold income taxes from any portion of the amounts individuals receive in a taxable transaction. We generally do not withhold income taxes if you elect in writing not to have withholding apply. If the amount withheld for you is insufficient to cover income taxes, you will have to pay income taxes and possibly penalties later.

 

Policy Transfers

 

The transfer of the policy or designation of a beneficiary may have federal, state and/or local transfer and inheritance tax consequences, including the imposition of gift, estate and generation-skipping transfer taxes. The individual situation of each policy owner or beneficiary will determine the extent, if any, to which federal, state and local transfer and inheritance taxes may be imposed and how ownership or receipt of policy proceeds will be treated for purposes of federal, state and local estate, inheritance, generation skipping and other taxes.

 

You should consult qualified legal or tax advisers for complete information on federal, state, local and other tax considerations.

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

 

General Policy Provisions

 

Your Policy

 

The policy is a contract between you and us and is the combination of:

   Your policy;

   A copy of your original application and applications for benefit increases or decreases;

   Your riders;

   Your endorsements;

   Your policy schedule pages; and

   Your reinstatement applications.

 

If you make a change to your coverage, we give you a copy of your changed application and new policy schedules. If you send your policy to us, we attach these items to your policy and return it to you. Otherwise, you need to attach them to your policy.

 

Unless there is fraud, we consider all statements made in an application to be representations and not guarantees. We use no statement to deny a claim, unless it is in an application.

 

A president or other officer of our company and our secretary or assistant secretary must sign all changes or amendments to your policy. No other person may change its terms or conditions.

 

ING Investor Elite

63

 

 

 

Age

 

We issue your policy at the insured person's age (stated in your policy schedule) based on the nearest birthday to the policy date. On the policy date, the insured person can generally be no more than age 90.

 

We often use age to calculate rates, charges and values. We determine the insured person's age at a given time by adding the number of completed policy years to the age calculated at issue and shown in the schedule.

 

Ownership

 

The original owner is the person named as the owner in the policy application. The owner can exercise all rights and receive benefits during the life of the insured person. These rights include the right to change the owner, beneficiaries or the method designated to pay death benefit proceeds.

 

As a matter of law, all rights of ownership are limited by the rights of any person who has been assigned rights under the policy and any irrevocable beneficiaries.

 

You may name a new owner by giving us written notice. The effective date of the change to the new owner is the date the prior owner signs the notice. However, we will not be liable for any action we take before a change is recorded at our Customer Service Center. A change in ownership may cause the prior owner to recognize taxable income on gain under the policy.

 

Beneficiaries

 

You, as owner, name the beneficiaries when you apply for your policy. The primary beneficiaries who survive the insured person receive the death benefit proceeds. Other surviving beneficiaries receive death benefit proceeds only if there is no surviving primary beneficiaries. If more than one beneficiary survives the insured person, they share the death benefit proceeds equally, unless you specify otherwise. If none of your policy beneficiaries has survived the insured person, we pay the death benefit proceeds to you or to your estate, as owner.

 

You may name new beneficiaries during the insured person's lifetime. We pay death benefit proceeds to the beneficiaries whom you have most recently named according to our records. We do not make payments to multiple sets of beneficiaries. The designation of certain beneficiaries may have tax consequences. See Other Tax Matters, page 60.

 

Collateral Assignment

 

You may assign your policy by sending written notice to us. After we record the assignment, your rights as owner and the beneficiaries' rights (unless the beneficiaries were made irrevocable beneficiaries under an earlier assignment) are subject to the assignment. It is your responsibility to make sure the assignment is valid. The transfer or assignment of a policy may have tax consequences. See Other Tax Matters, page 60.

 

ING Investor Elite

64

 

 

 

Incontestability

 

After your policy has been in force and the insured person is alive for two years from your policy date and from the effective date of any new coverage segment, an increase in any other benefit or reinstatement, we will not question the validity of statements in your applicable application.

 

 

In the policy form the “policy date’ is referred to as the “Issue Date.”

Misstatements of Age or Gender

 

Notwithstanding the Incontestability provision above, if the insured person's age or gender has been misstated, we adjust the death benefit to the amount which would have been purchased for the insured person's correct age and gender. We base the adjusted death benefit on the cost of insurance charges deducted from your policy value on the last monthly processing date before the insured person's death, or as otherwise required by law.

 

If unisex cost of insurance rates apply, we do not make any adjustments for a misstatement of gender.

 

Suicide

 

If the insured person commits suicide (while sane or insane) within two years of your policy date, unless otherwise required by law, we limit death benefit proceeds to:

   The total premium we receive to the time of death; minus

   Outstanding loan amount; minus

   Partial withdrawals taken.

 

We make a limited payment to the beneficiaries for a new coverage segment or other increase if the insured person commits suicide (while sane or insane) within two years of the effective date of a new coverage segment or within two years of an increase in any other benefit, unless otherwise required by law. The limited payment is equal to the cost of insurance and monthly expense charges which were deducted for the increase.

 

Anti-Money Laundering

 

In order to protect against the possible misuse of our products in money laundering or terrorist financing, we have adopted an anti-money laundering program satisfying the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act. Among other things, this program requires us, our agents and customers to comply with certain procedures and standards that serve to assure that our customers' identities are properly verified and that premiums are not derived from improper sources.

 

Under our anti-money laundering program, we may require policy owners, insured persons and/or beneficiaries to provide sufficient evidence of identification, and we reserve the right to verify any information provided to us by accessing information databases maintained internally or by outside firms.

 

ING Investor Elite

65

 

 

 

We may also refuse to accept certain forms of premium payments or loan repayments (traveler's cheques, for example) or restrict the amount of certain forms of premium payments or loan repayments (money orders totaling more than $5,000, for example). In addition, we may require information as to why a particular form of payment was used (third party checks, for example) and the source of the funds of such payment in order to determine whether or not we will accept it. Use of an unacceptable form of payment may result in us returning the payment to you and your policy either entering the 61-day grace period or lapsing. See Lapse, page 55. See also Premium Payments Affect Your Coverage, page 22.

 

Applicable laws designed to prevent terrorist financing and money laundering might, in certain circumstances, require us to block certain transactions until authorization is received from the appropriate regulator. We may also be required to provide additional information about you and your policy to government regulators.

 

Our anti-money laundering program is subject to change without notice to take account of changes applicable in laws or regulations and our ongoing assessment of our exposure to illegal activity.

 

Transaction Processing

 

Generally, within seven days of when we receive all information required to process a payment, we pay:

   Death benefit proceeds;

   Surrender value;

   Partial withdrawals; and

   Loan proceeds.

 

We may delay processing these transactions if:

   The New York Stock Exchange is closed for trading;

   Trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted by the SEC;

   There is an emergency so that it is not reasonably possible to sell securities in the subaccounts or to determine the value of a subaccount's assets; and

   A governmental body with jurisdiction over the variable account allows suspension by its order.

 

SEC rules and regulations generally determine whether or not these conditions exist.

 

We execute transfers among the subaccounts as of the valuation date of our receipt of your request at our Customer Service Center.

 

We determine the death benefit as of the date of the insured person's death. The death benefit proceeds are not affected by subsequent changes in the value of the subaccounts.

 

We may delay payment from our fixed account for up to six months, unless law requires otherwise, of surrender proceeds, withdrawal amounts or loan amounts. If we delay payment more than 30 days, we pay interest at our declared rate (or at a higher rate if required by law) from the date we receive your complete request.

 

ING Investor Elite

66

 

 

 

Unless you request otherwise, we generally pay death benefit proceeds, surrender value and partial withdrawals into an interest bearing account which may be accessed by you or the beneficiary, as applicable, through a checkbook feature. This interest bearing account is backed by our general account, and the checkbook feature may be used to access the payment at any time without penalty.

 

Notification and Claims Procedures

 

Except for certain authorized telephone requests, we must receive in writing any election, designation, change, assignment or request made by the owner.

 

You must use a form acceptable to us. We are not liable for actions taken before we receive and record the written notice. We may require you to return your policy for policy changes or if you surrender it.

 

If the insured person dies while your policy is in force, please let us know as soon as possible. We will send you instructions on how to make a claim. As proof of the insured person's death, we may require proof of the deceased insured person's age and a certified copy of the death certificate.

 

The beneficiaries and the deceased insured person's next of kin may need to sign authorization forms. These forms allow us to get information such as medical records of doctors and hospitals used by the deceased insured person.

 

Telephone Privileges

 

Telephone privileges are automatically provided to you and your agent/registered representative, unless you decline it on the application or contact our Customer Service Center. Telephone privileges allow you or your agent/registered representative to call our Customer Service Center to:

   Make transfers;

   Change premium allocations;

   Change your dollar cost averaging and automatic rebalancing programs;

   Request partial withdrawals; and

   Request a loan.

 

Our Customer Service Center uses reasonable procedures to make sure that instructions received by telephone are genuine. These procedures may include:

   Requiring some form of personal identification;

   Providing written confirmation of any transactions; and

   Tape recording telephone calls.

 

By accepting telephone privileges, you authorize us to record your telephone calls with us. If we use reasonable procedures to confirm instructions, we are not liable for losses from unauthorized or fraudulent instructions. We may discontinue or limit this privilege at any time. See Limits on Frequent or Disruptive Transfers, page 52.

 

Telephone and facsimile privileges may not always be available. Telephone or fax systems, whether yours, your service provider's or your agent's, can experience outages or slowdowns for a variety of reasons. These outages or slowdowns may prevent or delay our receipt of your request. Although we have taken precautions to help our systems handle heavy use, we cannot promise complete reliability under all circumstances. If you are experiencing problems, you should make your transfer request by written request.

Non-participation

 

Your policy does not participate in the surplus earnings of ReliaStar Life Insurance Company.

 

Advertising Practices and Sales Literature

 

We may use advertisements and sales literature to promote this product, including:

   Articles on variable life insurance and other information published in business or financial publications;

   Indices or rankings of investment securities; and

   Comparisons with other investment vehicles, including tax considerations.

 

We may use information regarding the past performance of the subaccounts and funds. Past performance is not indicative of future performance of the subaccounts or funds and is not reflective of the actual investment experience of policy owners.

 

We may feature certain subaccounts, the underlying funds and their managers, as well as describe asset levels and sales volumes. We may refer to past, current, or prospective economic trends and investment performance or other information we believe may be of interest to our customers.

 

Settlement Options

 

You may elect to take the surrender value in other than one lump-sum payment. Likewise, you may elect to have the beneficiaries receive the death benefit proceeds other than in one lump-sum payment, if you make this election during the insured person's lifetime. If you have not made this election, the beneficiaries may do so within 60 days after we receive proof of the insured person's death.

 

The investment performance of the subaccounts does not affect payments under these settlement options. Instead, interest accrues at a fixed rate based on the option you choose. Payment options are subject to our rules at the time you make your selection. Currently, a periodic payment must be at least $25 and the total proceeds must be at least $2,500.

 

The following settlement options are available:

   Option 1 - The proceeds are left with us to earn interest. Withdrawals and any changes are subject to our approval;

   Option 2 - The proceeds and interest are paid in equal installments of a specified amount until the proceeds and interest are all paid;

   Option 3 - The proceeds and interest are paid in equal installments for a specified period until the proceeds and interest are all paid;

   Option 4 - The proceeds provide an annuity payment with a specified number of months. The payments are continued for the life of the primary payee. If the primary payee dies before the certain period is over, the remaining payments are paid to a contingent payee; and

   Option 5 - The proceeds provide a life income for two payees. When one payee dies, the surviving payee receives two-thirds of the amount of the joint monthly payment for life.

 

 

ING Investor Elite

68

 

 

 

Interest on Settlement Options. We base the interest rate for proceeds applied under Options 1 and 2 on the interest rate we declare on money that we consider to be in the same classification based on the option, restrictions on withdrawal and other factors. The interest rate will never be less than an effective annual rate of 2.00%.

 

In determining amounts we pay under Options 3, 4 and 5, we assume interest at an effective annual rate of 2.00%. Also, for Option 3 and periods certain under Option 4, we credit any excess interest we may declare on money that we consider to be in the same classification based on the option, restrictions on withdrawal and other factors.

 

If none of these settlement options have been elected, your surrender value or the death benefit proceeds will be paid in one lump-sum payment.

 

Unless you request otherwise, death benefit proceeds generally will be paid into an interest bearing account which is backed by our general account and can be accessed by the beneficiary through a checkbook feature. Interest earned on this account may be less than interest paid under other settlement options. See Transaction Processing, page 66.

 

Reports

 

Annual Statement. We will send you an annual statement once each year free of charge showing the amount of insurance coverage under your policy as well as your policy's death benefit, policy and surrender values, the amount of premiums you have paid, the amounts you have withdrawn, borrowed or transferred and the fees and charges we have imposed since the last statement.

 

Additional statements are available upon request. We may make a charge not to exceed $50 for each additional annual statement you request. See Excess Annual Report Fee, page 26.

 

We send semi-annual reports with financial information on the funds, including a list of investment holdings of each fund.

 

We send confirmation notices to you throughout the year for certain policy transactions such as transfers between investment options, partial withdrawals and loans. You are responsible for reviewing the confirmation notices to verify that the transactions are being made as requested.

 

Illustrations. To help you better understand how your policy values will vary over time under different sets of assumptions, we will provide you with a personalized illustration projecting future results based on the age and risk classification of the insured person and other factors such as the amount of insurance coverage, death benefit option, premiums and rates of return (within limits) you specify. We may make a charge not to exceed $50 for each illustration you request after the first in a policy year. See Excess Illustration Fee, page 26.

Other Reports. We will mail to you at your last known address of record at least annually a report containing such information as may be required by any applicable law. To reduce expenses, only one copy of most financial reports and prospectuses, including reports and prospectuses for the funds, will be mailed to your household, even if you or other persons in your household have more than one policy issued by us or an affiliate. Call our Customer Service Center at 1-877-886-5050 if you need additional copies of financial reports, prospectuses, historical account information or annual or semi-annual reports or if you would like to receive one copy for each policy in all future mailings.

 

Distribution of the Policies

 

The company's affiliate, ING America Equities, Inc., serves as the principal underwriter (distributor) for the policies. ING America Equities, Inc. was organized under the laws of the State of Colorado on September 27, 1993 and is registered as a broker/dealer with the SEC and the NASD. We pay ING America Equities, Inc. under a distribution agreement dated May 1, 2002. ING America Equities, Inc.'s principal office is located at 1290 Broadway, Denver, Colorado 80203-5699.

 

ING America Equities, Inc. offers the securities under the policies on a continuous basis. For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, the aggregate amount paid to ING America Equities, Inc. under our distribution agreement was $28,325,080, $31,102,593, and $24,581,359, respectively.

 

We sell our policies through licensed insurance agents who are registered representatives of affiliated and unaffiliated broker/dealers. All broker/dealers who sell the policy have entered into selling agreements with us and ING America Equities, Inc., the principal underwriter/distributor of the policies. Under these selling agreements, we pay the broker/dealers for selling the policy, and part of that payment goes to your agent/registered representative.

 

The amounts that we pay for the sale of the policy can generally be categorized as either commissions or other amounts. The commissions we pay can be further categorized as base commissions (which may include a portion for wholesaling commissions) and supplemental commissions.

 

Base commissions consist of a percentage of premium we receive for the policy up to the target premium amount, a percentage of premium we receive for the policy in excess of the target premium amount and, as a trail commission, a percentage of your average net policy value. The percentages we pay may vary depending on the particular payment option selected. The option with the largest percentage of target premium pays up to 90% of premium received up to target premium, 6% of premium received in excess of target premium and no trail commission. These percentages reflect the amounts we will pay in the first policy year and the percentages may decrease thereafter.

 

A portion of the base commission may be used to pay wholesaling commissions, which are based on a percentage of the cumulative target premium we receive for the policy and certain other designated insurance products issued by the company and/or its affiliates during a calendar year.

 

 

ING Investor Elite

70

 

 

 

Supplemental commissions are paid based on a percentage of target premiums we receive for the policy and certain other designated insurance products sold during a calendar year. The percentages of supplemental commissions which we will pay may increase as the aggregate amount of premiums received for all products issued by the company and/or its affiliates during the calendar year increases. The maximum percentage of supplemental commissions that we may pay is 43%.

 

Generally, the commissions paid on premiums for base coverage under the policy are greater than those paid on premiums for coverage under the Term Insurance Rider. Be aware of this and discuss with your agent/registered representative the right blend of base coverage and Term Insurance Rider coverage for you.

 

In addition to these commissions, we may also pay other amounts to broker/dealers and/or their agents/registered representatives. These amounts may include:

   Marketing/distribution allowances based on the percentages of premium received and the aggregate commissions paid on certain types of designated insurance products issued by the company and/or its affiliates during the year;

   Loans. These loans may have advantageous terms such as reduction or elimination of the interest charged on the loan and/or forgiveness of the principal amount of the loan, which terms may be conditioned on fixed insurance product sales;

   Advances of commissions in anticipation of future receipt of premiums (a form of lending to agents/registered representatives);

   Education and training allowances to facilitate our attendance at certain educational and training meetings to provide information and training about our products. We also hold training programs from time to time at our own expense;

   Sponsor payments or reimbursements for broker/dealers to use in sales contests for their agents/registered representatives. We do not hold contests based solely on sales of this product;

   Certain overrides and other benefits which may include cash compensation based on the amount of earned commissions, agent/representative recruiting or other activities that promote the sale of policies; and

   Additional cash or noncash compensation and reimbursements permissible under existing law. This may include, but is not limited to, cash incentives, merchandise, trips, occasional entertainment, meals and tickets to sporting events, client appreciation events, business and educational enhancement items, payment for travel expenses (including meals and lodging) to pre-approved training and education seminars and payment for advertising and sales campaigns.

 

We pay commissions, other amounts and the costs of all other incentives or training programs from our resources which include the policy’s fees and charges.

Legal Proceedings

 

We are not aware of any pending legal proceedings which involve the variable account as a party.

 

The company is involved in threatened or pending lawsuits/arbitrations arising from the normal conduct of business. Due to the climate in insurance and business litigation/arbitrations, suits against the company sometimes include claims for substantial compensatory, consequential or punitive damages and other types of relief. Moreover, certain claims are asserted as class actions, purporting to represent a group of similarly situated individuals. While it is not possible to forecast the outcome of such lawsuits/arbitrations, in light of existing insurance, reinsurance and established reserves, it is the opinion of management that the disposition of such lawsuits/arbitrations will not have a materially adverse effect on the company’s operations or financial position.

 

ING America Equities, Inc., the principal underwriter and distributor of the policy, is a party to threatened or pending lawsuits/arbitration that generally arise from the normal conduct of business. Some of these suits may seek class action status and sometimes include claims for substantial compensatory, consequential or punitive damages and other types of relief. ING America Equities, Inc. is not involved in any legal proceeding which, in the opinion of management, is likely to have a material adverse affect on its ability to distribute the policy.

Cash Value Accumulation Test Factors

 

The cash value accumulation test factors vary according to the age, gender and risk class of the insured person.

 

Generally, the cash value accumulation test requires that a policy's death benefit must be sufficient so that the policy value does not at any time exceed the net single premium required to fund the policy's future benefits. The net single premium for a policy is calculated using a 4.00% interest rate and the 1980 Commissioner's Standard Ordinary Mortality Table and will vary according to the age, gender and risk class of the insured person. The factors for the cash value accumulation test are then equal to 1 divided by the net single premium per dollar of paid up whole life insurance for the applicable age, gender and risk class.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND HISTORY

 

ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (the “company,” “we,” “us,” “our”) issues the policy described in the prospectus and is responsible for providing each policy's insurance benefits. We are a stock life insurance company organized in 1885 and incorporated under the laws of the State of Minnesota and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V. (“ING”), a global financial institution active in the fields of insurance, banking and asset management. ING is headquartered in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. We are engaged in the business of issuing insurance policies. Our home office is located at 20 Washington Avenue South, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55401.

 

We established the Select*Life Variable Account (the “variable account”) on October 11, 1984, under the laws of the State of Minnesota for the purpose of funding variable life insurance policies issued by us. The variable account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Premium payments may be allocated to one or more of the available subaccounts of the variable account. Each subaccount invests in shares of a corresponding fund at net asset value. We may make additions to, deletions from or substitutions of available funds as permitted by law and subject to the conditions of the policy.

 

Other than the policy owner fees and charges described in the prospectus, all expenses incurred in the operations of the variable account are borne by the company. We do, however, receive compensation for certain recordkeeping, administration or other services from the funds or affiliates of the funds available through the policies. See Fund Fees and Expenses, page 29, in the prospectus.

 

The company maintains custody of the assets of the variable account. As custodian, the company holds cash balances for the variable account pending investment in the funds or distribution. The funds in whose shares the assets of the subaccounts of the variable account are invested each have custodians, as discussed in the respective fund prospectuses.

 

PERFORMANCE REPORTING AND ADVERTISING

 

Information regarding the past, or historical, performance of the subaccounts of the variable account and the funds available for investment through the subaccounts of the variable account may appear in advertisements, sales literature or reports to policy owners or prospective purchasers. SUCH PERFORMANCE INFORMATION FOR THE SUBACCOUNTS WILL REFLECT THE DEDUCTION OF ALL FUND FEES AND CHARGES, INCLUDING INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES, DISTRIBUTION (12B-1) FEES AND OTHER EXPENSES BUT WILL NOT REFLECT DEDUCTIONS FOR ANY POLICY FEES AND CHARGES. IF THE POLICY'S PREMIUM EXPENSE, COST OF INSURANCE, ADMINISTRATIVE AND MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGES AND THE OTHER TRANSACTION, PERIODIC OR OPTIONAL BENEFITS FEES AND CHARGES WERE DEDUCTED, THE PERFORMANCE SHOWN WOULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER.

 

With respect to performance reporting it is important to remember that past performance does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown and actual investment returns and principal values will fluctuate so that shares and/or units, at redemption, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Performance history of the subaccounts of the variable account and the corresponding funds is measured by comparing the value at the beginning of the period to the value at the end of the period. Performance is usually calculated for periods of one month, three months, year-to-date, one year, three years, five years, ten years (if the fund has been in existence for these periods) and since the inception date of the fund (if the fund has been in existence for less than ten years). We may provide performance information showing average annual total returns for periods prior to the date a subaccount commenced operation. We will calculate such performance information based on the assumption that the subaccounts were in existence for the same periods as those indicated for the funds, with the level of charges at the variable account level that were in effect at the inception of the subaccounts. Performance information will be specific to the class of fund shares offered through the policy, however, for periods prior to the date a class of fund shares commenced operations, performance information may be based on a different class of shares of the same fund. In this case, performance for the periods prior to the date a class of fund shares commenced operations will be adjusted by the fund fees and expenses associated with the class of fund shares offered through the policy.

 

We may compare performance of the subaccounts and/or the funds as reported from time to time in advertisements and sales literature to other variable life insurance issuers in general; to the performance of particular types of variable life insurance policies investing in mutual funds; or to investment series of mutual funds with investment objectives similar to each of the subaccounts, whose performance is reported by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. (“Lipper”) and Morningstar. Inc. (“Morningstar”) or reported by other series, companies, individuals or other industry or financial publications of general interest, such as Forbes, Money, The Wall Street Journal, Business Week, Barron's, Kiplinger's and Fortune. Lipper and Morningstar are independent services which monitor and rank the performances of variable life insurance issuers in each of the major categories of investment objectives on an industry-wide basis.

 

Lipper's and Morningstar's rankings include variable annuity issuers as well as variable life insurance issuers. The performance analysis prepared by Lipper and Morningstar ranks such issuers on the basis of total return, assuming reinvestment of distributions, but does not take sales charges, redemption fees or certain expense deductions at the separate account level into consideration. We may also compare the performance of each subaccount in advertising and sales literature to the Standard & Poor's Index of 500 common stocks and the Dow Jones Industrials, which are widely used measures of stock market performance. We may also compare the performance of each subaccount to other widely recognized indices. Unmanaged indices may assume the reinvestment of dividends, but typically do not reflect any “deduction” for the expense of operating or managing an investment portfolio.

 

To help you better understand how your policy's death benefits, policy value and surrender value will vary over time under different sets of assumptions, we encourage you to obtain a personalized illustration. Personalized illustrations will assume deductions for fund expenses and policy and variable account charges. We will base these illustrations on the age and risk classification of the insured person and other factors such as the amount of insurance coverage, death benefit option, premiums and rates of return (within limits) you specify. These personalized illustrations will be based on either a hypothetical investment return of the funds of 0% and other percentages not to exceed 12% or on the actual historical experience of the funds as if the subaccounts had been in existence and a policy issued for the same periods as those indicated for the funds. Subject to regulatory approval, personalized illustrations may be based upon a weighted average of fund expenses rather than an arithmetic average. A personalized illustration is available upon request by contacting our customer service center at P.O. Box 5011, 2000 21st Avenue NY, Minot, ND 58703 or by calling 1-877-886-5050.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Account’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits include consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Account’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evalua ting the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2005, by correspondence with the transfer agents. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective Divisions constituting ReliaStar Life Insurance Company Select*Life Variable Account at December 31, 2005, the results of their operations and changes in their net assets for the periods disclosed in the financial statements, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

1. Organization
   
 
ReliaStar Life Insurance Company Select*Life Variable Account (the “Account”) was established by ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (“ReliaStar Life” or the “Company”) to support the operations of variable life policies (“Policies”). ReliaStar Life is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. (“ING AIH”), an insurance holding company domiciled in the State of Delaware. ING AIH is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ING Groep, N.V., a global financial services holding company based in The Netherlands.
 
 
The Account is registered as a unit investment trust with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Policies consist of the Select*Life I product and Select*Life Series 2000 product, which incorporates Select*Life II, Select*Life III, Variable Estate Design, Flexdesign® VUL, ING Protector Elite, ING Investor Elite and Variable Accumulation DesignSM products. ReliaStar Life provides for variable accumulation and benefits under the Policies by crediting premium payments to one or more divisions within the Account or the fixed separate account, which is not part of the Account, as directed by the contractowners. The portion of the Account’s assets applicable to Policies will not be charged with liabilities arising out of any other business ReliaStar Life may conduct, but obligations of the Account, including the promise to make benefit payments, are obligations of Reli aStar Life. The assets and liabilities of the Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the other assets and liabilities of ReliaStar Life.

2. Significant Accounting Policies
 
 
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the Account:
 
  Use of Estimates
 
 
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
  Investments
 
 
Investments are made in shares of a Fund and are recorded at fair value, determined by the net asset value per share of the respective Fund. Investment transactions in each Fund are recorded on the trade date. Distributions of net investment income and capital gains from each Fund are recognized on the ex-distribution date. Realized gains and losses on redemptions of the shares of the Fund are determined using the specific identification basis. The difference between cost and current fair value of investments owned on the day of measurement is recorded as appreciation or depreciation of investments.
 
  Federal Income Taxes
 
 
Operations of the Account form a part of, and are taxed with, the total operations of ReliaStar Life, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. Earnings and realized capital gains of the Account attributable to the contractowners are excluded in the determination of the federal income tax liability of ReliaStar Life.
 
  Contractowner Reserves
 
 
Contractowner reserves of the Company are represented by net assets on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and are equal to the aggregate account values of the contractowners invested in the Account Divisions. To the extent that benefits to be paid to the contractowners exceed their account values, ReliaStar Life will contribute additional funds to the benefit proceeds. Conversely, if amounts allocated exceed amounts required, transfers may be made to ReliaStar Life.
 
  Reclassifications
 
 
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial information to conform to the current year classifications.

3. Charges and Fees
 
 
Under the terms of the Policies, certain charges are allocated to the Policies to cover ReliaStar Life’s expenses in connection with the issuance and administration of the Policies. Following is a summary of these charges:
 
  Premium Expense Charge
 
 
ReliaStar Life deducts a premium charge ranging from 3.75% to 8.00% of each premium payment as defined in the Policies.
 
  Mortality, Expense Risk and Other Charges
 
 
The monthly deduction includes a monthly mortality and expense risk charge, a cost of insurance charge, a monthly administrative charge, a monthly amount charge, and any charges for optional insurance benefits.
 
 
ReliaStar Life assumes mortality and expense risks related to the operations of the Account and, in accordance with the terms of the Policies, deducts a mortality and expense risk charge from the assets of the Account. Monthly charges are deducted at annual rates of up to 0.90% of the average daily net asset value of each Division of the Account to cover these risks.
 
 
The cost of insurance charge varies based on the insured’s sex, issue age, policy year, rate class, and the face amount of the Policies.
 
 
The monthly administrative charge currently ranges from $8.25 to $19.00 per month. Monthly administrative charges for Select*Life II, Flexdesign® VUL, Variable Estate Design and Variable Accumulation Design products are guaranteed not to exceed $12 per month.
 
 
The monthly amount charged and charges for optional insurance benefits vary based on a number of factors and are defined in the Policies.
 
  Surrender and Lapse Charges
 
 
As defined in the Policies, ReliaStar Life assesses a surrender charge if the Policies lapse or are surrendered before a specified period.
 
  Other Charges
 
 
A transfer charge of up to $25 may be imposed on each transfer between Divisions. A charge for partial withdrawals of $10 is also imposed in accordance with the terms of the Policy, and may be increased up to a maximum of $25.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

Board of Directors and Stockholder

ReliaStar Life Insurance Company

 

We have audited the accompanying statutory-basis balance sheets of ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (the “Company,” an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc.), as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statutory-basis statements of operations, changes in capital and surplus, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company presents its financial statements in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Minnesota Department of Commerce, Division of Insurance (“Minnesota Division of Insurance”), which practices differ from United States generally accepted accounting principles. The variances between such practices and United States generally accepted accounting principles and the effects on the accompanying financial statements are described in Note 1. The effects on the financial statements of these variances are not reasonably determinable but are presumed to be material.

 

In our opinion, because of the effects of the matter described in the preceding paragraph, the financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles, the financial position of ReliaStar Life Insurance Company at December 31, 2005 and 2004, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for the years then ended.

 



 

 

However, in our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ReliaStar Life Insurance Company at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Minnesota Division of Insurance.

RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies

ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (the “Company”) is domiciled in Minnesota and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings, Inc. (“Lion”), a Connecticut holding and management company. Lion, in turn, is a wholly owned subsidiary of ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. (“ING AIH”). ING AIH’s ultimate parent is ING Groep, N.V. (“ING”), a global financial services company based in The Netherlands. The Company is principally engaged in the business of providing individual life insurance and annuities, employee benefit products and services, retirement plans, and life and health reinsurance. The Company is presently licensed in all states (approved for reinsurance only in New York), the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico and Canada.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The preparation of financial statements of insurance companies requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein.

 

The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Minnesota Division of Insurance, which practices differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The most significant variances from GAAP are as follows:

 

Investments: Investments in bonds and mandatorily redeemable preferred stocks are reported at amortized cost or market value based on the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) rating; for GAAP, such fixed maturity investments are designated at purchase as held-to-maturity, trading or available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity investments are reported at amortized cost, and the remaining fixed maturity investments are reported at fair value with unrealized capital gains and losses reported in operations for those designated as trading and as a separate component of other comprehensive income in stockholder’s equity for those designated as available-for-sale.

 

In addition, the Company invests in structured securities including mortgage-backed securities/collateralized mortgage obligations, asset-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations, and commercial mortgage-backed securities. For these structured securities, management compares the undiscounted cash flows to the carrying value. An other than temporary impairment is considered to have occurred when the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value.

 

 

8

 



RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

Notes to Financial Statements - Statutory Basis

 

 

 

For structured securities, when a negative yield results from a revaluation based on new prepayment assumptions (i.e., undiscounted cash flows are less than current book value), an other than temporary impairment is considered to have occurred and the asset is written down to the value of the undiscounted cash flows. For GAAP, assets are re-evaluated based on the discounted cash flows using a current market rate. Impairments are recognized when there has been an adverse change in cash flows and the fair value is less than book value. The asset is then written down to fair value. When a decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary, the individual security is written down to fair value and the loss is accounted for as a realized loss.

 

Investments in real estate are reported net of related obligations rather than on a gross basis. Real estate owned and occupied by the Company is included in investments rather than reported as an operating asset as under GAAP, and investment income and operating expenses include rent for the Company’s occupancy of these properties. Changes between depreciated cost and admitted asset investment amounts are credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus rather than income as would be required under GAAP.

 

Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles (“SSAP”) No. 31, Derivative Instruments, applies to derivative transactions prior to January 1, 2003. The Company also follows the hedge accounting guidance in SSAP No. 86, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, for derivative transactions entered into or modified on or after January 1, 2003. Under this guidance, derivatives that are deemed effective hedges are accounted for in a manner which is consistent with the underlying hedged item. Derivatives used in hedging transactions that do not meet the requirements of SSAP No. 86 as an effective hedge are carried at fair value with the change in value recorded in surplus as unrealized gains or losses. Embedded derivatives are not accounted for separately from the host contract. Under GAAP, the effective and ineffective portions of a single hedge are accounted for separately. An embedded derivative within a contract that is not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risk of the host contract is accounted for separately from the host contract and valued and reported at fair value, and the change in fair value for cash flow hedges is credited or charged directly to a separate component of stockholders’ equity rather than to income as required for fair value hedges.

 

Valuation Reserves: The asset valuation reserve (“AVR”) is determined by an NAIC–prescribed formula and is reported as a liability rather than as a valuation allowance or an appropriation of surplus. The change in AVR is reported directly to unassigned surplus.

 

Under a formula prescribed by the NAIC, the Company defers the portion of realized gains and losses on sales of fixed–income investments, principally bonds and mortgage loans, attributable to changes in the general level of interest rates, and amortizes those deferrals over the remaining period to maturity based on groupings of individual securities sold in five–year bands. The net deferral or interest maintenance reserve (“IMR”) is reported as a liability in the accompanying Balance Sheets.

RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

Notes to Financial Statements - Statutory Basis

 

 

 

Realized gains and losses on investments are reported in operations net of federal income tax and transfers to the IMR. Under GAAP, realized capital gains and losses are reported in the Statements of Operations on a pretax basis in the period that the asset giving rise to the gain or loss is sold and valuation allowances are provided when there has been a decline in value deemed other than temporary, in which case the provision for such declines is charged to income.

 

Valuation allowances, if necessary, are established for mortgage loans based on the difference between the net value of the collateral, determined as the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to obtain and sell, and the recorded investment in the mortgage loan. Under GAAP, such allowances are based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or, if foreclosure is probable, on the estimated fair value of the collateral.

 

The initial valuation allowance and subsequent changes in the allowance for mortgage loans as a result of a temporary impairment are charged or credited directly to unassigned surplus. Under GAAP, such allowances are included as a component of earnings.

 

Policy Acquisition Costs: The costs of acquiring and renewing business are expensed when incurred. Under GAAP, acquisition costs related to traditional life insurance, to the extent recoverable from future policy revenues, are deferred and amortized over the premium–paying period of the related policies using assumptions consistent with those used in computing policy benefit reserves. For universal life insurance and investment products, to the extent recoverable from future gross profits, acquisition costs are amortized generally in proportion to the present value of expected gross margins from surrender charges and investment, mortality, and expense margins.

 

Premiums: Life premiums are recognized as revenue when due. Premiums for annuity policies with mortality and morbidity risk, except for guaranteed interest and group annuity contracts, are also recognized as revenue when due. Premiums received for annuity policies without mortality or morbidity risk and for guaranteed interest and group annuity contracts are recorded using deposit accounting. In deposit accounting, premiums are credited to an appropriate policy reserve account, without recognizing premium through income.

 

Under GAAP, premiums for traditional life insurance products, which include those products with fixed and guaranteed premiums and benefits and consist primarily of whole life insurance policies, are recognized as revenue when due. Group insurance premiums are recognized as premium revenue over the time period to which the premiums relate. Revenues for universal life, annuities and guaranteed interest contracts consist of policy charges for the cost of insurance, policy administration charges, amortization of policy initiation fees and surrender charges assessed during the period.

Benefit and Contract Reserves: Life policy and contract reserves under statutory accounting practices are calculated based upon both the net level premium and Commissioners’ Reserve Valuation methods using statutory rates for mortality and interest. GAAP requires that policy reserves for traditional products be based upon the net level premium method utilizing reasonably conservative estimates of mortality, interest, and withdrawals prevailing when the policies were sold. For interest-sensitive products, the GAAP policy reserve is equal to the policy fund balance plus an unearned revenue reserve which reflects the unamortized balance of early year policy loads over renewal year policy loads.

 

Reinsurance: For business ceded to unauthorized reinsurers, statutory accounting practices require that reinsurance credits permitted by the treaty be recorded as an offsetting liability and charged against unassigned surplus. Under GAAP, an allowance for amounts deemed uncollectible would be established through a charge to earnings. Statutory income recognized on certain reinsurance treaties representing financing arrangements is not recognized on a GAAP basis.

 

Policy and contract liabilities ceded to reinsurers have been reported as reductions of the related reserves rather than as assets as required under GAAP.

 

Commissions allowed by reinsurers on business ceded are reported as income when received rather than being deferred and amortized with deferred policy acquisition costs as required under GAAP.

 

Gains and losses generated in certain reinsurance transactions are deferred and amortized over the remaining life the business for GAAP purposes. For statutory, such amounts are recognized immediately in income, with gains reported as a separate component of surplus.

 

Subsidiaries: The accounts and operations of the Company’s subsidiaries are not consolidated. Certain affiliated investments for which audited GAAP statements are not available or expected to be available are non-admitted. Under GAAP, the accounts and operations of the Company’s subsidiaries are consolidated. All affiliated investments are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Nonadmitted Assets: Certain assets designated as “nonadmitted,” principally deferred federal income tax assets, disallowed interest maintenance reserves, non–operating software, past–due agents’ balances, furniture and equipment, intangible assets, and other assets not specifically identified as an admitted asset within the NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual are excluded from the accompanying balance sheets and are charged directly to unassigned surplus. Under GAAP, such assets are included in the Balance Sheets.

 

Employee Benefits: For purposes of calculating the Company’s postretirement benefit obligation, only vested participants and current retirees are included in the valuation. Under GAAP, active participants not currently vested are also included.

Universal Life and Annuity Policies: Revenues for universal life and annuity policies consist of the entire premium received and benefits incurred represent the total of death benefits paid and the change in policy reserves. Under GAAP, premiums received in excess of policy charges would not be recognized as premium revenue and benefits would represent the excess of benefits paid over the policy account value and interest credited to the account values.

 

Policyholder Dividends: Policyholder dividends are recognized when declared. Under GAAP, dividends are recognized over the term of the related policies.

 

Deferred Income Taxes: Deferred tax assets are provided for and admitted to an amount determined under a standard formula. This formula considers the amount of differences that will reverse in the subsequent year, taxes paid in prior years that could be recovered through carrybacks, surplus limits and the amount of deferred tax liabilities available for offset. Any deferred tax assets not covered under the formula are nonadmitted. Deferred taxes do not include any amounts for state taxes. Under GAAP, a deferred tax asset is recorded for the amount of gross deferred tax assets that are expected to be realized in future years and a valuation allowance is established for the portion that is not realizable.

 

Surplus Notes: Surplus notes are reported as a component of surplus. Under statutory accounting practices, no interest is recorded on the surplus notes until payment has been approved by the Minnesota Division of Insurance. Under GAAP, surplus notes are reported as liabilities and the related interest is reported as a charge to earnings over the term of the note.

 

Statements of Cash Flows: Cash and short–term investments in the statements of cash flows represent cash balances and investments with initial maturities of one year or less. Under GAAP, the corresponding caption of cash and cash equivalents includes cash balances and investments with initial maturities of three months or less.

 

Participation Fund Account

 

On January 3, 1989, the Minnesota Division of Insurance approved a Plan of Conversion and Reorganization (“the Plan”), which provided, among other things, for the conversion of the Company from a combined stock and mutual life insurance company to a stock life insurance company.

 

The Plan provided for the establishment of a Participation Fund Account (“PFA”) for the benefit of certain participating individual life insurance policies and annuities issued by the Company prior to the effective date of the Plan. Under the terms of the PFA, the insurance liabilities and assets (approximately $283,758,000 as of December 31, 2005) with respect to such policies are included in the Company’s financial statements but are segregated in the accounting records of the Company to assure the continuation of policyholder dividend practices.

Reconciliation to GAAP

 

The effects of the preceding variances from GAAP on the accompanying statutory basis financial statements have not been determined, but are presumed to be material.

 

Other significant accounting practices are as follows:

 

Investments

 

Investments are stated at values prescribed by the NAIC, as follows:

 

Bonds not backed by other loans are principally stated at amortized cost using the interest method.

 

Single class and multi class mortgage backed/asset backed securities are valued at amortized cost using the interest method including anticipated prepayments. Prepayment assumptions are obtained from dealer surveys or internal estimates and are based on the current interest rate and economic environment. The retrospective adjustment method is used to value all such securities except for higher risk asset backed securities, which are valued using the prospective method. The Company has elected to use the book value as of January 1, 1994 as the cost for applying the retrospective method to securities purchased prior to that date where historical cash flows are not readily available.

 

Redeemable preferred stocks rated as high quality or better are reported at cost or amortized cost. All other redeemable preferred stocks are reported at the lower of cost, amortized cost, or market value and nonredeemable preferred stocks are reported at market value or the lower of cost or market value as determined by the SVO.

 

Common stocks are reported at market value as determined by the SVO and the related unrealized capital gains/losses are reported in unassigned surplus along with the adjustment for federal income taxes.

 

The Company analyzes the general account investments to determine whether there has been an other than temporary decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis. Management considers the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, future economic conditions and market forecasts, and the Company's intent and ability to retain the investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for recovery in market value. If it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of a debt security will not be collected, an other than temporary impairment is considered to have occurred. The Company also considers the negative market impact of the interest rate changes, in addition to credit related items, when performing other-than-temporary impairment testing. As part of this testing, the Company determines whether or not it has the ability and intent to retain the investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for recovery in fair value.

RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

The Company uses derivatives such as interest rate swaps, caps and floors, forwards and options as part of its overall interest rate and other economical risk management strategy for certain life insurance and annuity products. For those derivatives in effective hedging relationships, the Company values all derivative instruments on a consistent basis with the hedged item. Upon termination, gains and losses on those instruments are deferred to IMR or included in the carrying values of the underlying hedged items and are amortized over the remaining lives of the hedged items as adjustments to investment income or benefits from the hedged items. Any unamortized gains or losses are recognized when the underlying hedged items are sold. Derivatives used in hedging transactions that do not meet the requirements of SSAP No. 86 as an effective hedge are carried at fair value with change in value recorded in surplus as unrealized gain or loss.

 

Credit default swaps and total return swaps to replicate the investment characteristics of permissible investments using the derivative in conjunction with other investments. The replication (synthetic asset) and the derivative and other cash instrument are carried at fair value. The replication practices are in accordance with SSAP No. 86.

 

Interest rate swap contracts are used to convert the interest rate characteristics (fixed or variable) of certain investments to match those of the related insurance liabilities that the investments are supporting. The net interest effect of such swap transactions is reported as an adjustment of interest income from the hedged items as incurred.

 

Interest rate caps and floors are used to limit the effects of changing interest rates on yields of variable rate or short-term assets or liabilities. The initial cost of any such agreement is amortized to net investment income over the life of the agreement. Periodic payments that are receivable as a result of the agreements are accrued as an adjustment of interest income or benefits from the hedged items.

 

Derivatives that are designated in effective hedging relationships are reported in a manner that is consistent with the hedged asset or liability. All effective derivatives are reported at amortized cost with the exception of S&P Options. S&P Options are reported at fair value since they do not meet the hedge requirement of SSAP No. 86. The unrealized gains or losses from S&P Options are reported as unrealized gain or loss in surplus.

 

SSAP No. 88, Investments in Subsidiary, Controlled and Affiliated Entities, applies to the Company’s subsidiaries, controlled and affiliated entities (“SCA”). The Company’s insurance subsidiaries are reported at their underlying statutory basis net assets, and the Company’s noninsurance subsidiaries are reported at the GAAP-basis of their net assets. Dividends from subsidiaries are included in net investment income. The total net change in the subsidiaries’ equity is included in the change in net unrealized capital gains or losses. SCA entities for which audited US GAAP statements are not available or expected to be available are non-admitted.

Mortgage loans are reported at amortized cost, less allowance for impairments.

 

Contract loans are reported at unpaid principal balances.

 

Land is reported at cost. Real estate occupied by the Company is reported at depreciated cost; other real estate is reported at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value. Depreciation is calculated on a straight–line basis over the estimated useful lives of the properties.

 

For reverse repurchase agreements, Company policies require a minimum of 95% of the fair value of securities sold under reverse repurchase agreements to be maintained as collateral. Cash collateral received is invested in short–term investments and the offsetting collateral liability is included in miscellaneous liabilities.

 

Reverse dollar repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateral borrowings, where the amount borrowed is equal to the sales price of the underlying securities.

 

The Company engages in securities lending whereby certain domestic bonds from its portfolio are loaned to other institutions for short periods of time. Collateral, primarily cash, which is in excess of the market value of the loaned securities, is deposited by the borrower with a lending agent, and retained and invested by the lending agent to generate additional income for the Company. The Company does not have access to the collateral. The Company’s policy requires a minimum of 102% of the fair value of securities loaned to be maintained as collateral. The market value of the loaned securities is monitored on a daily basis with additional collateral obtained or refunded as the market value fluctuates.

 

Short-term investments are reported at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Short-term investments include investments with maturities of less than one year at the date of acquisition.

 

Partnership interests, which are included in other invested assets on the Balance Sheets, are reported at the underlying audited GAAP equity of the investee.

 

Residual collateralized mortgage obligations, which are included in other invested assets on the Balance Sheet, are reported at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

 

Realized capital gains and losses are determined using the first-in first-out method.

 

Cash on hand includes cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are short–term investments that are both readily convertible to cash and have an original maturity date of three months or less.

Aggregate Reserve for Life Policies and Contracts

 

Life, annuity, and accident and health reserves are developed by actuarial methods and are determined based on published tables using statutorily specified interest rates and valuation methods that will provide, in the aggregate, reserves that are greater than or equal to the minimum or guaranteed policy cash value or the amounts required by law. Interest rates range from 2.0% to 13.25%.

 

The Company waives the deduction of deferred fractional premiums upon the death of the insured. It is the Company’s practice to return a pro rata portion of any premium paid beyond the policy month of death, although it is not contractually required to do so for certain issues.

 

The methods used in the valuation of substandard policies are as follows:

 

For life, endowment and term policies issued substandard, the standard reserve during the premium–paying period is increased by 50% of the gross annual extra premium. Standard reserves are held on Paid–Up Limited Pay contracts.

 

For reinsurance accepted with table rating, the reserve established is a multiple of the standard reserve corresponding to the table rating.

 

For reinsurance with flat extra premiums, the standard reserve is increased by 50% of the flat extra.

 

The amount of insurance in force for which the gross premiums are less than the net premiums, according to the standard of valuation required by the Minnesota Division of Insurance, is $21,406,164,000 and $16,766,849,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The amount of premium deficiency reserves for policies on which gross premiums are less than the net premiums is $457,334,000 and $519,815,000 at December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.

 

The Company anticipates investment income as a factor in the premium deficiency calculation in accordance with SSAP No. 54, Individual and Group Accident and Health Contracts.

 

The tabular interest has been determined from the basic data for the calculation of policy reserves for all direct ordinary life insurance and for the portion of group life insurance classified as group Section 79. The method of determination of tabular interest of funds not involving life contingencies is as follows: one hundredth of the product of such valuation rate of interest times the mean of the amount of funds subject to such valuation rate of interest held at the beginning and end of the year of valuation.

Reinsurance

 

Reinsurance premiums, commissions, expense reimbursements, and reserves related to reinsured business are accounted for on bases consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. Reserves are based on the terms of the reinsurance contracts and are consistent with the risks assumed. Premiums and benefits ceded to other companies have been reported as a reduction of premium revenue and benefits expense. Amounts applicable to reinsurance ceded for reserves and unpaid claim liabilities have been reported as reductions of these items, and expense allowances received in connection with reinsurance ceded have been reflected in operations.

 

Electronic Data Processing Equipment

 

Electronic data processing equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation for major classes of assets is calculated on a straight–line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets.

 

Participating Insurance

 

Participating business approximates less than 1.0% of the Company’s ordinary life insurance in force and 8.3% of premium income. The amount of dividends to be paid is determined annually by the Board of Directors. Amounts allocable to participating policyholders are based on published dividend projections or expected dividend scales. Dividend expense of $17,248,000 and $17,494,000 was incurred in 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

Benefit Plans

 

The Company provides noncontributory retirement plans for substantially all employees and certain agents. Pension costs are charged to operations as contributions are made to the plan. The Company also provides a contributory retirement plan for substantially all employees.

Changes in nonadmitted assets are generally reported directly in surplus as an increase or decrease in nonadmitted assets. The subsidiaries amount of $47,122,000 represents investments in SCA’s nonadmitted as a result of the Company adopting SSAP No. 88. In addition, $118,000 in nonadmitted SCA investments is included in other. The Company’s adoption of SSAP No. 88 is discussed in the “Recently Adopted Statutory Accounting Principle” note.

 

Claims and Claims Adjustment Expenses

 

Claims expenses represent the estimated ultimate net cost of all reported and unreported claims incurred through December 31, 2005. The Company does not discount claims and claims adjustment expense reserves. Such estimates are based on actuarial projections applied to historical claims payment data. Such liabilities are considered to be reasonable and adequate to discharge the Company’s obligations for claims incurred but unpaid as of December 31, 2005.

 

Cash Flow Information

 

Cash and short-term investments include cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term fixed maturity instruments with a maturity of less than one year at the date of acquisition.

Separate Accounts

 

Most separate account assets and liabilities held by the Company represent funds held for the benefit of the Company’s variable life and annuity policy and contract holders who bear all of the investment risk associated with the policies. Such policies are of a non-guaranteed nature. All net investment experience, positive or negative, is attributed to the policy and contract holders’ account values. The assets of these accounts are carried at fair value.

 

Certain other separate accounts relate to experience-rated group annuity contracts that fund defined contribution pension plans. These contracts provide guaranteed interest returns for one year only, where the guaranteed interest rate is re-established each year based on the investment experience of the separate account. In no event can the interest rate be less than zero. The assets and liabilities of these separate accounts are carried at book value.

 

Reserves related to the Company’s mortality risk associated with these policies are included in life and annuity reserves. These reserves include reserves for guaranteed minimum death benefits (before reinsurance) that totaled $18.3 million and $14.3 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The operations of the separate accounts are not included in the accompanying statements of operations.

Permitted Statutory Basis Accounting Practices

The financial statements of the Company are presented on the basis of accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Minnesota Division of Insurance. The Minnesota Division of Insurance recognizes only statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the state of Minnesota for determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations of an insurance company for determining its solvency under the Minnesota Insurance Laws. The NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual has been adopted as a component of prescribed or permitted practices by the state of Minnesota. The Commissioner of Commerce has the right to permit other specific practices that deviate from prescribed practices.

RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

Notes to Financial Statements - Statutory Basis

 

 

 

The Company is required to identify those significant accounting practices that are permitted, and obtain written approval of the practices from the Minnesota Division of Insurance. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had no such permitted accounting practices.

 

 

3.

Recently Adopted Statutory Accounting Principle

In June 2004, the NAIC issued Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles No. 88, Investments in Subsidiary, Controlled and Affiliated Entities, (SSAP No. 88), with an effective date of January 1, 2005. SSAP 88 establishes statutory accounting principles for subsidiaries, controlled and affiliated entities (SCA entities).

 

SAP 88 continues to define a parent as an entity that directly or indirectly owns and controls the reporting entity. A subsidiary is an entity that is, directly or indirectly owned and controlled by the reporting entity. An affiliate is defined as an entity that is within the holding company system or a party that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the reporting entity. An affiliate may be a parent or subsidiary and may also include partnerships, joint ventures and limited liability companies (LLC).

 

Control continues to be defined as the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the investee, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract, by common management or otherwise. Control is presumed to exist if a reporting entity and its affiliates, (measured at the holding company level) directly or indirectly, own, control, hold with the power to vote, or hold proxies representing 10% or more of the voting interest of the entity.

 

The Company adopted SAP 88, which requires audited financial statements for all SCA investments. When audited statements are not available, the SCA is non-admitted.

 

As a result of adopting SSAP No. 88, the Company nonadmitted investments in SCA’s, resulting in a decrease in assets of $47,240,000 and a decrease in surplus of $47,240,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Unrealized losses at December 31, 2005 were primarily related to interest rate movement or spread widening for other than credit-related reasons and to securities under the guidance prescribed by SSAP No. 43 Loan-backed and Structured Securities. Securities affected by SSAP No. 43 include U.S. government backed securities, principal protected securities and structured securities which did not have an adverse change in cash flows. The following table summarizes the unrealized losses by duration and reason, along with the carrying amount of securities with unrealized losses at December 31, 2005:

Overall, there has been an increase in unrealized losses from $99,764,000 at December 31, 2004 to $236,698,000 at December 31, 2005. This increase is largely caused by an increase in interest rates, which tends to have a negative market value impact on fixed maturity securities. The Company considers the negative market impact of the interest rate changes, in addition to credit related items, when performing other than-temporary impairment testing. As a part of this testing, the Company determines whether or not it has the ability and intent to retain the investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for recovery in fair value.

 

The amortized cost and fair value of investments in bonds at December 31, 2005, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

At December 31, 2005, investments in certificates of deposit and bonds, with an admitted asset value of $204,265,000, were on deposit with state insurance departments to satisfy regulatory requirements.

 

At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had loaned securities (which are reflected as invested assets on the balance sheets) with a market value of approximately $185,278,000 and $153,596,000, respectively.

 

Proceeds from the sale of investments in bonds and other fixed maturity interest securities were $5,769,451,000 and $6,804,502,000 in 2005 and 2004, respectively. Gross gains of $64,858,000 and $62,494,000 and gross losses of $85,859,000 and $45,294,000 during 2005 and 2004, respectively, were realized on those sales. A portion of the gains and losses realized in 2005 and 2004 has been deferred to future periods in the IMR.

The Company entered into reverse dollar repurchase agreements to increase its return on investments and improve liquidity. Reverse dollar repurchases involve a sale of securities and an agreement to repurchase substantially the same securities as those sold. The reverse dollar repurchases are accounted for as short-term collateralized financing and the repurchase obligation is reported in borrowed money on the Balance Sheets. The repurchase obligation totaled $245,802,000 and $444,994,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The securities underlying these agreements are mortgage-backed securities with a book value of $254,203,000 and $445,262,000 and fair value of $247,381,000 and $445,975,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The securities have a weighted average coupon rate of 5.3% and have maturities ranging from December 2020 through December 2035. The primary risk associated with short-term collateralized borrowings is that the counterparty may be unable to perform under the terms of the contract. The Company’s exposure is limited to the excess of the net replacement cost of the securities over the value of the short-term investments, which was not material at December 31, 2005. The Company believes the counterparties to the reverse dollar repurchase agreements are financially responsible and that the counterparty risk is minimal.

The Company participates in reverse repurchase transactions. Such transactions include the sale of corporate securities to a major securities dealer and a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same securities in the near term. The proceeds are invested in new securities of intermediate durations. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the amount outstanding on these agreements was $326,610,000 and $131,600,000, respectively. The securities underlying these agreements are mortgage-backed securities with a book value of $329,514,000 and $133,186,000 and fair value of $325,028,000 and $133,873,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The securities have a weighted average coupon rate of 5.4% and have maturities ranging from December 2010 through March 2045.

 

The maximum and minimum lending rates for long-term mortgage loans during 2005 were 6.0% and 4.4%. Fire insurance is required on all properties covered by mortgage loans and must at least equal the excess of the loan over the maximum loan which would be permitted by law on the land without the buildings.

 

The maximum percentage of a loan to the value of collateral at the time of the loan, exclusive of insured or guaranteed or purchase money mortgages, was 75.0% on commercial properties. As of December 31, 2005, the Company held no mortgages with interest more than 180 days overdue. No interest was past due as of December 31, 2005.

 

The Company had impaired mortgage loans without an allowance for credit losses of $7,928,000 and $836,000 as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

In the course of the Company’s asset management activities, securities are sold and reacquired within 30 days of the sale date to enhance the Company’s return on its investment portfolio or to manage interest rate risk. The table below summarizes the number of transactions, the book value, and the gain or loss of the Company’s financial instruments with respect to securities sold and reacquired within 30 days of the sale date as of and for the year ended December 31, 2005:

Derivative Financial Instruments Held for Purposes Other than Trading

The Company uses derivatives for hedging purposes by entering into derivatives such as interest rate swaps, caps, floors, forwards and options to reduce and manage risks, which include the risk of a change in the value, yield, price, cash flows, exchange rates or quantity of, or a degree of exposure with respect to, assets, liabilities, or future cash flows which the Company has acquired or incurred. The Company’s hedge accounting

practices are in accordance with the requirements set in SSAP No. 86. The Company also enters into credit default swaps and total return swaps to replicate the investment characteristics of permissible investments using the derivative in conjunction with other investments. Replicated (Synthetic) Assets filed with the NAIC SVO result in both the derivative and cash instrument being carried at amortized cost. The replication practices are in accordance with SSAP No. 86.

 

The Company uses interest rate swaps to reduce market risks from changes in interest rates and to alter interest rate exposure arising from mismatches between assets and liabilities. Interest rate swap agreements generally involve the exchange of fixed and floating interest payments over the life of the agreement without an exchange of the underlying principal amount. Currency swap agreements generally involve the exchange of local and foreign currency payments over the life of the agreement without an exchange of the underlying principal amount.

 

Interest rate cap and interest rate floor agreements owned entitle the Company to receive payments to the extent reference interest rates exceed or fall below strike levels in the contracts based on the notional amounts.

 

All premiums paid for the purchase of derivative contracts are included in other invested assets on the balance sheets and are being amortized to interest expense over the remaining terms of the contracts or in a manner consistent with the financial instruments being hedged.

 

Amounts paid or received, if any, from such contracts are included in interest expense or income on the statements of operations. Accrued amounts payable to or receivable from counterparties are included in other liabilities or other invested assets.

 

Gains or losses realized as a result of early terminations of interest rate contracts are amortized to investment income over the remaining term of the items being hedged to the extent the hedge is considered to be effective; otherwise, they are recognized upon termination.

 

Derivatives that are designated in effective hedging relationships are reported in a manner that is consistent with the hedged asset or liability. Derivative contracts that are matched or otherwise designated to be associated with other financial instruments are recorded at fair value if the related financial instruments mature, are sold, or are otherwise terminated or if the interest rate contracts cease to be effective hedges. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in effective hedging relationships are recorded as unrealized capital gains (losses) in surplus. The net loss recognized in unrealized capital losses during the reporting period representing the component of the derivative instruments’ loss excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness was $2,632,000. The net unrealized capital losses on derivatives that no longer qualify for hedge accounting were $2,632,000. The Company manages the potential credit exposure from interest rate contracts through careful evaluation of the counterparties’ credit standing, collateral agreements, and master netting agreements.

The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties on interest rate contracts; however, the Company does not anticipate nonperformance by any of these counterparties. The amount of such exposure is generally the unrealized gains in such contracts.

Employee Benefit Plans

Defined Benefit Plan

 

ING North America Insurance Corporation (“ING North America”) sponsors the ING Americas Retirement Plan (the “Retirement Plan”), effective as of December 31, 2001. Substantially all employees of ING North America and its subsidiaries and affiliates (excluding certain employees) are eligible to participate, including the Company’s employees.

 

The Retirement Plan is a tax-qualified defined benefit plan, the benefits of which are guaranteed (within certain specified legal limits) by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”). As of January 1, 2002, each participant in the Retirement Plan (except for certain specified employees) earns a benefit under a final average compensation formula. Subsequent to December 31, 2001, ING North America is responsible for all Retirement Plan liabilities. The costs allocated to the Company for its employees’ participation in the Retirement Plan were $7,582,000 and $16,641,000 for the years ended 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

Defined Contribution Plans

 

ING North America sponsors the ING Savings Plan and ESOP (the “Savings Plan”). Substantially all employees of ING North America and its subsidiaries and affiliates (excluding certain employees) are eligible to participate, including the Company’s employees other than Company agents. The Savings Plan is a tax-qualified profit sharing and stock bonus plan, which includes an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) component. Savings Plan benefits are not guaranteed by the PBGC. The Savings Plan allows eligible participants to defer into the Savings Plan a specified percentage of eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis. ING North America matches such pre-tax contributions, up to a maximum of 6% of eligible compensation. All matching contributions are subject to a 4-year graded vesting schedule (although certain specified participants are subject to a 5-year graded vesting schedule). All contributions made to the Savings Plan are subject to certain limits imposed by applicable law. The costs allocated to the Company for the Savings Plan were $6,337,000 and $5,731,000 for 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Other Benefit Plans

 

In addition to providing retirement plan benefits, the Company, in conjunction with ING North America, provides certain supplemental retirement benefits to eligible employees and health care and life insurance benefits to retired employees and other eligible dependents. The supplemental retirement plan includes a non-qualified defined benefit pension plan, and a non-qualified defined contribution plan, which means all benefits are payable from the general assets of the Company. The post-retirement health care plan is contributory, with retiree contribution levels adjusted annually. The life insurance plan provides a flat amount of noncontributory coverage and optional contributory coverage.

Assumptions used in determining the accounting for the defined benefit plans and other benefit plan as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 were as follows:

The annual assumed rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered benefits (i.e., health care cost trend rate) for the medical plan is 10% graded to 5% over 4 years. Increasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage point in each year would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation for the medical plan as of December 31, 2005 by $661,181. Decreasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage point in each year would decrease the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation for the medical plan as of December 31, 2005 by $622,366.

 

The Company expects to pay $2,821,000 in contributions during 2006.

Reinsurance

The Company is involved in both ceded and assumed reinsurance with other companies for the purpose of diversifying risk and limiting exposure on larger risks. To the extent that the assuming companies become unable to meet their obligations under these treaties, the Company remains contingently liable to its policyholders for the portion reinsured. To minimize its exposure to significant losses from retrocessionaire insolvencies, the Company evaluates the financial condition of the retrocessionaire and monitors concentrations of credit risk.

 

Assumed premiums amounted to $566,469,000 and $564,289,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

The Company’s ceded reinsurance arrangements reduced certain items in the accompanying financial statements by the following amounts:

Federal Income Taxes

The Company and its U.S. life insurance subsidiary file a consolidated federal income tax return. The method of tax allocation is governed by a written tax sharing agreement. The tax sharing agreement provides that each member of the consolidated return shall reimburse the Company for its respective share of the consolidated federal income tax liability and shall receive a benefit for its losses at the statutory rate.

The Company has a payable of $33,863,000 and a receivable of $14,549,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, for federal income taxes under the intercompany tax sharing agreement.

 

Under prior law, life insurance companies were allowed to defer from taxation a portion of income. The deferred income was accumulated in the Policyholders’ Surplus Account. This deferred income only becomes taxable under certain conditions, which management believes to be remote. Furthermore, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 allows certain tax-free distributions from the Policyholders’ Surplus Account during 2005 and 2006. Therefore, based on currently available information, no federal income taxes have been provided on the Company’s Policyholders’ Surplus Account accumulated balance of $32,641,000.

Investment in and Advances to Subsidiaries

The Company has two wholly owned insurance subsidiaries at December 31, 2005, ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York (“RNY”) and ING Re (UK) Limited. The Company also has a wholly owned noninsurance subsidiary: NWNL Benefits Corporation and one partially owned noninsurance subsidiary Superior Vision Services, Inc. (“SVS”).

On February 27, 2004, the Company redeemed 44,350 shares of Preferred Series A SVS stock for cash at no gain or loss. In addition, the Company converted 738,161 shares of Preferred Series B SVS stock for 738,161 of common stock.

 

 

13.

Capital and Surplus

Under Minnesota insurance regulations, the Company is required to maintain a minimum total capital and surplus of $2,000,000. Additionally, the amount of dividends which can be paid by the Company to its shareholder without prior approval of the Minnesota Division of Insurance is limited to the greater of 10% of statutory surplus or the statutory net gain from operations.

 

Lion loaned $100,000,000 to the Company under a surplus note dated December 1, 2001. The surplus note provides, subject to the regulatory constraints discussed below, that (1) it is a surplus note which will mature on September 15, 2021 with principal due at maturity, but payable without penalty, in whole or in part before maturity; (2) interest is payable at a variable rate based upon an annualized yield rate for U.S. Treasury Bonds payable semi-annually; and (3) in the event that the Company is in default in the payment of any required interest or principal, the Company cannot pay cash dividends on its capital stock (all of which is owned directly by Lion). The surplus note further provides that there may be no payment of interest or principal without the express approval of the Minnesota Division of Insurance. For the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, interest paid totaled $4,600,000 each year. There is no accrued interest for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

 

Life and health insurance companies are subject to certain Risk Based Capital (“RBC”) requirements as specified by the NAIC. Under those requirements, the amount of capital and surplus maintained by a life and health insurance company is to be determined based on the various risk factors related to it. At December 31, 2005, the Company meets the RBC requirements.

 

14.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the financial instrument. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented herein do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

 

Life insurance liabilities that contain mortality risk and all nonfinancial instruments have been excluded from the disclosure requirements. However, the fair values of liabilities under all insurance contracts are taken into consideration in the Company’s overall management of interest rate risk, such that the Company’s exposure to changing interest

rates is minimized through the matching of investment maturities with amounts due under insurance contracts.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value disclosures for financial instruments in the accompanying financial statements and notes thereto:

 

Cash and short-term investments: The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying Balance Sheets for these financial instruments approximate their fair values.

 

Bonds and equity securities: The fair values for bonds, preferred stocks and common stocks reported herein are based on quoted market prices, where available. For securities not actively traded, fair values are estimated using values obtained from independent pricing services or, in the case of private placements, are estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows. The discount rates used vary as a function of factors such as yield, credit quality, and maturity, which fall within a range between 2.1% and 18.0% over the total portfolio. Fair values determined on this basis can differ from values published by the SVO. Fair value as determined by the SVO as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 is $13,790,648,000 and $13,429,388,000, respectively.

 

41

 



RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

Notes to Financial Statements - Statutory Basis

 

 

 

Mortgage loans: Estimated fair values for commercial real estate loans were generated using a discounted cash flow approach. Loans in good standing are discounted using interest rates determined by U.S. Treasury yields on December 31 and spreads applied on new loans with similar characteristics. The amortizing features of all loans are incorporated in the valuation. Where data on option features is available, option values are determined using a binomial valuation method, and are incorporated into the mortgage valuation. Restructured loans are valued in the same manner; however, these loans were discounted at a greater spread to reflect increased risk. All residential loans are valued at their outstanding principal balances, which approximate their fair values.

 

Residual collateralized mortgage obligations: Residual collateralized mortgage obligations are included in the other invested assets balances. Fair values are based on independent pricing sources.

 

Derivative financial instruments: Fair values for on–balance sheet derivative financial instruments (caps, options and floors) and off–balance sheet derivative financial instruments (swaps) and forwards are based on broker/dealer valuations or on internal discounted cash flow pricing models taking into account current cash flow assumptions and the counterparties’ credit standing.

 

Investment in surplus notes: Estimated fair values in surplus notes were generated using a discounted cash flow approach. Cash flows were discounted using interest rates determined by U.S. Treasury yields on December 31 and spreads applied on surplus notes with similar characteristics.

 

Guaranteed investment contracts: The fair values of the Company’s guaranteed investment contracts are estimated using discounted cash flow calculations, based on interest rates currently being offered for similar contracts with maturities consistent with those remaining for the contracts being valued.

 

Other investment–type insurance contracts: The fair values of the Company’s deferred annuity contracts are estimated based on the cash surrender values of the contracts. The carrying values of other policyholder liabilities, including individual and group annuities, policyholder dividends and deposit-type contracts, approximate their fair values.

 

The carrying value of all other financial instruments approximates their fair value.

 

 

15.

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is a party to threatened or pending lawsuits/arbitrations arising from the normal conduct of business. Due to the climate in insurance and business litigation/arbitration, suits against the Company sometimes include claims for substantial

 

42

 



RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

Notes to Financial Statements - Statutory Basis

 

 

compensatory, consequential or punitive damages and other types of relief. Moreover, certain claims are asserted as class actions, purporting to represent a group of similarly situated individuals. While it is not possible to forecast the outcome of pending lawsuits, in light of existing insurance, reinsurance and established reserves, it is the opinion of management that the disposition of pending lawsuits/arbitrations will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s operations or financial position.

 

Guarantee Agreement: The Company, effective January 2002, entered into a Guarantee Agreement with two other ING affiliates whereby it is jointly and severally liable for a $250,000,000 obligation of another ING affiliate, Security Life of Denver International Limited (“SLDI”).

Lessor Leases

 

The Company owns or leases numerous sites that are leased or subleased to franchisees. Buildings owned or leased that meet the criteria for operating leases are carried at the gross investment in the lease less unearned income. Unearned income is recognized in such a manner as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment. The typical lease period is 20 years and some leases contain renewal options. The franchisee is responsible for the payment of property taxes, insurance and maintenance costs related to the leased property. The cost of these properties are $146,954,000 at December 31, 2005, with accumulated depreciation of $80,962,000.

 

Future minimum lease payment receivables under non-cancelable operating leasing arrangements as of December 31, 2005 are as follows:

Regulatory Matters

As with many financial services companies, the Company and its affiliates have received informal and formal requests for information from various state and federal governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations in connection with inquiries and investigations of the products and practices of the financial services industry. In each case, the Company and its affiliates have been and are providing full cooperation.

 

Investment Product Regulatory Issues

 

Since 2002, there has been increased governmental and regulatory activity relating to mutual funds and variable insurance products. This activity has primarily focused on inappropriate trading of fund shares; revenue sharing and directed brokerage; compensation; sales practices, suitability, and supervision; arrangements with service providers; pricing; compliance and controls; adequacy of disclosure; and document retention.

In addition to responding to governmental and regulatory requests on fund trading issues, ING management, on its own initiative, conducted, through special counsel and a national accounting firm, an extensive internal review of mutual fund trading in ING insurance, retirement, and mutual fund products. The goal of this review was to identify any instances of inappropriate trading in those products by third parties or by ING investment professionals and other ING personnel.

 

The internal review identified several isolated arrangements allowing third parties to engage in frequent trading of mutual funds within the variable insurance and mutual fund products of ING, and identified other circumstances where frequent trading occurred despite measures taken by ING intended to combat market timing. Each of the arrangements has been terminated and disclosed to regulators, to the independent trustees of ING Funds (U.S.) and in reports previously filed by affiliates of the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

In September 2005, an affiliate of the Company, ING Fund Distributors, LLC (“IFD”) and one of its registered persons settled an administrative proceeding with the National Association of Securities Dealers (“NASD”) in connection with frequent trading arrangements. IFD neither admitted nor denied the allegations or findings and consented to certain monetary and non-monetary sanctions. IFD’s settlement of this administrative proceeding is not material to the Company.

 

Other regulators, including the SEC and the New York Attorney General, are also likely to take some action with respect to the Company or certain affiliates before concluding their investigations relating to fund trading. The potential outcome of such action is difficult to predict but could subject the Company or certain affiliates to adverse consequences, including, but not limited to, settlement payments, penalties, and other financial liability. It is not currently anticipated, however, that the actual outcome of any such action will have a material adverse effect on ING or ING’s U.S.-based operations, including the Company.

 

ING has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the ING Funds from all damages resulting from wrongful conduct by ING or its employees or from ING’s internal investigation, any investigations conducted by any governmental or self-regulatory agencies, litigation or other formal proceedings, including any proceedings by the SEC. Management reported to the ING Funds Board that ING management believes that the total amount of any indemnification obligations will not be material to ING or ING’s U.S.-based operations, including the Company.

Insurance and Other Regulatory Matters

 

The New York Attorney General and other federal and state regulators are also conducting broad inquiries and investigations involving the insurance industry. These initiatives currently focus on, among other things, compensation and other sales incentives; potential conflicts of interest; potential anti-competitive activity; reinsurance; marketing practices; specific product types (including group annuities and indexed annuities); and disclosure. It is likely that the scope of these industry investigations will further broaden before they conclude. The Company and certain of its U.S. affiliates have received formal and informal requests in connection with such investigations, and are cooperating fully with each request for information.

 

These initiatives may result in new legislation and regulation that could significantly affect the financial services industry, including businesses in which the Company is engaged.

 

In light of these and other developments, U.S. affiliates of ING, including the Company, periodically review whether modifications to their business practices are appropriate.

September 11 Events

The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 (the September 11 events), resulted in a tremendous loss of life and property. Secondarily, those events interrupted the business activities of many entities and disrupted the U.S. economy at many levels. In the past, businesses have incurred losses as a result of catastrophes such as earthquakes, hurricanes and even other terrorist attacks. However, the September 11 events are unprecedented in the United States in terms of the magnitude of the losses incurred and the number of entities affected. The following disclosures relating to the September 11 events are required:

 

As of December 31, 2005, the Company had estimated gross reinsurance claims of approximately $124.7 million for personal accident coverage, $192.2 million for workers compensation coverage and retrocession recoveries of $103.4 million for net incurred claims of $213.5 million from the events of September 11, 2001. The remaining retrocession recoveries at December 31, 2005 were approximately $17.5 million.

 

As of December 31, 2004, the Company had estimated gross reinsurance claims of approximately $124.6 million for personal accident coverage, $201.3 million for workers compensation coverage and retrocession recoveries of $103.4 million for net incurred claims of $222.5 million from the events of September 11, 2001. The remaining retrocession recoveries at December 31, 2004, were approximately $32.0 million.

 

The Company notes that uncertainty remains regarding claim submissions and the number of occurrences from the events of September 11, 2001, but has recorded its best estimate as the current claim reserve reported as of December 31, 2005.

 

The September 11, 2001 impact is based on Company estimates using information obtained from ceding companies and an external consultant. It is reasonably possible that a change in the Company’s estimate will occur in the near term but the possible range of change cannot be determined.

 

The Company does not have any environmental remediation obligations.
