UPDATING SUMMARY PROSPECTUS
april 27, 2026 
This Summary Prospectus summarizes key features of the Zenith Flexible Life 2001 flexible premium adjustable variable life insurance policy (the “Policy”).
The prospectus for the Policy contains more information about the Policy’s features, benefits and risks. You can find the current prospectus and other information about the Policy online at https://dfinview.com/BHF/PUFT/BHF11. You can also obtain this information at no cost by calling (833) 208-3017 or by sending an email request to [email protected].
The Policy is a complex investment and involves risks, including potential loss of principal. The Policy is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. Surrenders (partial or full) could result in surrender charges and taxes.
The Company’s obligations under the Policy are subject to our financial strength and claims-paying ability. Additional general information about certain investment products, including variable life insurance, has been prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s staff and is available at Investor.gov.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has not approved or disapproved these Policies or determined if this prospectus is accurate or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
Glossary
Base Policy. The Policy without riders.
Cash Value. A Policy’s Cash Value includes the amount of its cash value held in the Variable Account, the amount held in the Fixed Account and, if there is an outstanding Policy loan, the amount of its cash value held in our general account as a result of the loan.
Eligible Funds.  The mutual fund portfolios in which you may invest through your allocations to the corresponding Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account.
Fixed Account. The Fixed Account is a part of our general account to which you may allocate net premiums. It provides guarantees of principal and interest.
Monthly Deduction.  The amount deducted from the Policy’s Cash Value on the first day of each Policy month, consisting of a Policy fee, an administrative charge, a cost of insurance charge and charges for any optional rider benefits.
Net Cash Value. The amount you receive if you surrender the Policy. It is equal to the Policy’s Cash Value reduced by any surrender charge that would apply on surrender and by any outstanding Policy loan and accrued interest.
Sub-Account.   A division of the Variable Account which corresponds to a mutual fund portfolio, or Eligible Fund, to which you may allocate premiums and Cash Value.
Target Premium. We use the Target Premium to determine the amount of Deferred Sales Charge that may apply on a surrender, partial surrender, lapse or face amount reduction. The Target Premium varies by issue age, sex and underwriting class of the insured and the Policy’s face amount. The Target Premium is less than or equal to 75% of the annual premium necessary to maintain a fixed benefit whole life insurance Policy for the same face amount on the life of the insured. We calculate the annual whole life premium using an assumed interest rate of 4%, guaranteed cost of insurance charges and the current level of other Policy charges.
Updated Information You Should Consider About the Policy
The information in this Updating Summary Prospectus is a summary of certain Policy features that have changed since the Updating Summary Prospectus dated April 28, 2025. This may not reflect all of the changes that have occurred since you purchased your Policy.
On November 6, 2025, Brighthouse Financial (“BHF”) and Aquarian Capital LLC (“Aquarian”) announced that they had entered into a definitive agreement under which an affiliate of Aquarian will acquire BHF. This transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including receipt of applicable regulatory approvals. Subject to such approvals and the satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions, the transaction is expected to be consummated in 2026.
Upon the consummation of the transaction, Aquarian will become the ultimate parent of BHF and NELICO will remain an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of BHF. Although Aquarian will replace BHF as NELICO’s ultimate parent, NELICO will continue in its present role as the issuer of your Policy. All of your rights and benefits under your Policy and NELICO’s obligations under the Policy will remain unchanged.
Founded in 2017, Aquarian Capital is a diversified global holding company with a strategic portfolio of insurance and asset management solutions. Aquarian is headquartered in New York, NY.

Important Information You Should Consider About the Policy 
 
FEES AND EXPENSES
Location in
Prospectus
Charges for Early
Withdrawals
During the first 11 Policy years, if you surrender your Policy, reduce its
face amount, or make a partial surrender that reduces the face amount,
or if your Policy lapses, then we will deduct a surrender charge from the
Policy’s Cash Value.
The surrender charge includes a Deferred Sales Charge and a Deferred
Administrative Charge:
●The maximum Deferred Sales Charge is 72% of premiums paid up to
one Target Premium.
●The maximum Deferred Administrative Charge is 0.25% of the Base
Policy face amount.
●For example, if you invest in a Policy with a Target Premium of
$100,000 and a $1,000,000 face amount, your maximum Deferred
Sales Charge would be $72,000 (72% of $100,000) and your
maximum Deferred Administrative Charge would be $2,500 (0.25% of
$1,000,000), for a total maximum surrender charge of $74,500.

In addition to surrender charges, you may also be charged for other

or from the Fixed Account.

In addition to surrender charges and transaction charges, an investment

cost of insurance charge, a Policy Fee, a mortality and expense risk
charge, an administrative charge, loan interest spread, and charges for
various riders offered along with the Policy. Certain of those ongoing
charges vary in amount depending on the insured’s age, risk class, and
(except for unisex Policies) sex. You should view the Policy specifications
page of your Policy for the specific charges applicable to your Policy.

Not a Short-Term
Investment
The Policy is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an
investor who needs ready access to cash. If you make a premature
withdrawal of cash from your Policy, you may incur various costs (e.g., a
surrender charge) and also possible Federal income tax.
Principal Risks of
Investing in the
Policy
 
Charges
Risks Associated
with Investment
Options
An investment in the Policy is subject to the risk of poor investment
performance and can vary depending on the performance of the
investment options available under the Policy (e.g., the Eligible Funds).
Each investment option, including the Fixed Account, will have its own
unique risks, and you should review these investment options before
making an investment decision.

Company Risks
An investment in the Policy is subject to the risks related to NELICO,
including that any obligations (including obligations related to amounts
invested in the Fixed Account), guarantees, or benefits are subject to
NELICO’s claims-paying ability. More information about NELICO, including
its financial strength ratings, is available upon request by calling (888)
243-1968.

Contract Lapse
In general, in any month that your Policy’s Net Cash Value is not large
enough to cover the Monthly Deduction (i.e., the amount we deduct on
the first day of each Policy month for charges such as the Policy Fee),
your Policy will be in default, and may lapse. Your Policy’s Net Cash Value
can be impacted by poor investment performance of the Eligible Funds
you select. Your Policy may also lapse if Policy loans plus accrued
interest reduces the Net Cash Value to zero. Additionally, insufficient
premium payments, withdrawals, and Policy charges (including
increases in those charges) could cause the Policy to lapse and you will
no longer have insurance coverage. If your Policy has lapsed, in most
states you may reinstate it within seven years after the date of lapse.
Reinstatement in all cases requires payment of certain charges
described in the Policy and usually requires evidence of insurability that
is satisfactory to us. Death benefits will not be paid if the Policy has
lapsed.

RESTRICTIONS
 
Investments
Availability of Portfolios. We reserve the right to close or substitute an
Eligible Fund or limit its availability to subsequent premium payments
and/or transfers of Cash Value. You may not invest in more than ten
Sub-Accounts at any one time.
Transfers. We may limit the number of transfers between the
Sub-Accounts and to and from the Fixed Account to no more than four
per Policy year. We may impose a processing charge of $25 for each
transfer in excess of 12 per Policy year. We may also impose restrictions
on frequent transfers. We are not currently imposing the maximum limit
on transfers and withdrawals from the Fixed Account, but we reserve the
right to do so.

Optional Benefits
Various optional benefits may be available in the form of a rider to your
Policy. Not all of these riders may be available to you. In general,
supplemental insurance benefits may be (i) available only to insureds
within certain age ranges and/or who meet certain criteria (e.g., terminal
illness) (ii) subject to minimum and/or maximum specified amounts, and
(iii) subject to certain termination conditions. We may stop offering an
optional benefit at any time.

Tax Implications
You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax
implications of an investment in and payments received under the Policy.
Please note that there is no additional tax benefit to you if the Policy is
purchased through a tax-qualified plan. Withdrawals will be subject to
ordinary income tax and may be subject to tax penalties.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
 
Investment
Professional
Compensation
All firms selling the Policy receive commissions. The portion of the
commission payments that selling firms pass on to their sales
representatives is determined in accordance with their internal
compensation programs. A selling firm, or a sales representative of a
selling firm, may receive different compensation for selling one product
over another and may have a financial incentive to offer or recommend
the Policy over another investment. Apart from the payment of
commissions, selling firms may receive additional compensation,
including marketing allowances, introduction fees, persistency
payments, preferred status fees and industry conference fees. 
Distribution of the
Policies
Exchanges
In general, sales representatives may have a financial incentive to offer
you a new insurance policy in place of the policy you already own. You
should exchange your Policy only if you determine, after comparing the
features, fees, and risks of both policies, that it is preferable for you to
purchase the new policy rather than continue to own the existing Policy.
