Important Information You Should Consider About the Policy

FEES AND EXPENSES (see Additional Information About Fees later in this summary prospectus and Expenses in the statutory prospectus)
Charges for Early Withdrawals	Surrender Charge - Unless the Policy Owner elects the surrender charge waiver option, for up to 10 years from the Policy Date, or effective date of any Base Policy Specified Amount increase, a surrender charge is deducted if the policy is surrendered, Lapses, or there is a requested decrease of the Base Policy Specified Amount (see Surrender Charge in the statutory prospectus). This charge will vary based upon the individual characteristics of the Insured. The maximum surrender charge is $46.85 per $1,000 of Base Policy Specified Amount, or 4.685% of the Base Policy Specified Amount. For example, for a policy with a $100,000 Base Policy Specified Amount, a complete surrender could result in a surrender charge of $4,685. Partial Surrender Fee - Deducted from the partial surrender amount requested (see Partial Surrender Fee in the statutory prospectus). Currently, Nationwide waives the Partial Surrender Fee. Nationwide may elect in the future to assess a Partial Surrender Fee. The Partial Surrender Fee assessed to each surrender will not exceed the lesser of $25 or 5% of the amount surrendered.
Transaction Charges	The Policy Owner may also be charged for other transactions as follows: • Percent of Premium Charge - Deducted from each Premium payment applied to a policy. • Capped Indexed Interest Strategy Charge - Assessed upon creation of an Index Segment in an Indexed Interest Strategy with a cap rate. • Service Fee - Upon requesting an illustration, policy loan, or copies of transaction confirmations and statements. • Rider Charges - One time rider charges for certain benefits, deducted upon invoking the rider. See Standard Policy Charges and Policy Riders and Rider Charges in the statutory prospectus.
Ongoing Fees and Expenses (periodic charges)	In addition to surrender charges and transaction charges, an investment in the policy is subject to certain ongoing fees and expenses, including fees and expenses covering the cost of insurance under the policy and the cost of optional benefits available under the policy, and such fees and expenses are set based on characteristics of the Insured (e.g., age, sex, and rating classification), see Standard Policy Charges and Policy Riders and Rider Charges in the statutory prospectus. Please refer to the Policy Specification Pages of your policy for rates applicable to the policy.
A Policy Owner will also bear expenses associated with the underlying mutual funds under the policy, as shown in the following table:
Annual Fee	Minimum	Maximum
Investment options (underlying mutual fund fees and expenses)	0.11%1	4.26%1
	1 As a percentage of underlying mutual fund assets.

RISKS
Risk of Loss	Policy Owners of variable life insurance can lose money by investing in the policy, including loss of principal (see Principal Risks in the statutory prospectus).
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 (see Principal Risks in the statutory prospectus). A surrender charge may apply (see Surrender Charge in the statutory prospectus). In addition, taking policy loans may increase the risk of Lapse and may result in adverse tax consequences (see Policy Loans in the statutory prospectus).

Overview of the Policy

Purpose

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

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

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

Premiums

The Policy Owner will select a Premium payment plan for the policy at the time of application. Within limits, the Policy Owner may vary the frequency and amount of Premium payments, see Premium Payments and Unfavorable Sub-AccountInvestment Experiencein the statutory prospectus.

Net Premium, loan repayments, and Cash Value may be allocated among general account options and/or variable investment options available in the policy. However, loan repayments are subject to the default allocation prioritization stated in the policy, see Repayment in the statutory prospectus.

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

The fixed interest options offered under the policy are the Fixed Account and the Long-Term Fixed Account. Both of these options will earn interest daily at an effective annual rate, see Fixed Interest Options in the statutory prospectus. The Long-Term Fixed Account may earn a higher interest rate than the Fixed Account, but will also be subject to greater allocation, transfer, and partial surrender restrictions, see Fixed Interest Options Transfers in the statutory prospectus.

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

See Indexed Interest Options in the statutory prospectus.

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

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

Payment of insufficient Premium may cause the policy to Lapse.

Policy Features

Death Benefit Options

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

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

Death Benefit Option 2: The Death Benefit will be the Total Specified Amount plus the Cash Value as of the Insured'sdate of death.

Death Benefit Option 3: The Death Benefit will be the Total Specified Amount plus the accumulated Premium account (which consists of all Premium payments, up to the maximum stated in the Policy Specification Pages, plus interest), less any partial surrenders, as of the Insured's date of death.

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

Choice of Policy Proceeds

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

Coverage Flexibility

Subject to conditions, the Policy Owner may choose to:

Continuation of Coverage Guarantee Feature

The policy will remain In Force during the policy continuation period as long as sufficient Premium is paid to meet the requirements set forth in Guaranteed Policy Continuation Provision in the statutory prospectus.

Access to Cash Value

Subject to conditions, the Policy Owner may:

Transfer Requests

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

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

Taxes

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

Assignment

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

Right to Cancel (Examination Right)

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

Riders

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

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

Standard Death Benefit

Standard Death Benefit Options

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

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

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

Death Benefit Option 2: The Death Benefit will be the Total Specified Amount plus the Cash Value as of the Insured'sdate of death.

Death Benefit Option 3: The Death Benefit will be the Total Specified Amount plus the accumulated Premium account (which consists of all Premium payments, up to the maximum stated in the Policy Specification Pages, plus interest), less any partial surrenders, as of the Insured's date of death.

The interest rate attributable to the accumulated Premium account is referred to as the Death Benefit Option 3 Interest Rate and is stated in the Policy Specification Pages. The maximum permitted dollar amount of the accumulated Premium account is subject to underwriting limitations in effect at the time of application, is referred to as the Death Benefit Option 3 Maximum Returnable Premium, and is stated in the Policy Specification Pages at issue. Contact the Service Center to request current information regarding the Death Benefit Option 3 Maximum Returnable Premiumamount.

Calculation of the Death Benefit

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

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

The Minimum Required Death Benefit

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

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

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

Cash Value Accumulation Test

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

Guideline Premium/Cash Value Corridor Test

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

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

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

Other Benefits Available Under the Policy

In addition to the standard death benefit options available under the policy, other standard or optional benefits may also be available to you. The following table summarizes information about these other benefits. For additional information on the policy's Riders, see Policy Ridersand Rider Charges in the statutory prospectus.

Buying the Policy

Initial Premium Payment

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

Premium Payments

This policy does not require a payment of a scheduled Premium amount to keep it In Force. It will remain In Force as long as the conditions that cause a policy to Lapse do not exist, see Lapseand Unfavorable Sub-AccountInvestment Experience in the statutory prospectus. Premium payment reminder notices will be sent according to the Premiumpayment schedule selected by the Policy Owner. Additional Premium payments must be submitted to the Service Center. Each Premium payment must be at least $25. Upon request, Nationwide will furnish Premium payment receipts. Policy Owners may make additional Premium payments at any time while the policy is In Force and prior to the Maturity Date, subject to the following:

Premium payments will be allocated to the Sub-Accounts and fixed interest options according to the allocation instructions in effect at the time the Premium is received, subject to the following limitations on fixed interest options allocations:

Nationwide may further limit or refuse Premium payments to the Long-Term Fixed Account on a prospective basis at any time. Generally, this right will be invoked when interest rates are low by historical standards, such as times when investments necessary to support the current Long-Term Fixed Account's interest crediting rate greater than the current Fixed Account are not available.

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

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

How Your Policy Can Lapse

The policy is at risk of Lapsing when the Cash Surrender Value is insufficient to cover the monthly policy charges, including Rider charges, see Unfavorable Sub-AccountInvestment Experience in the statutory prospectus. A Policy Ownercan avoid Lapsing the policy by paying the amount required by the Guaranteed Policy Continuation Provision or by invoking the Overloan Lapse Protection Rider II to prevent the policy from Lapsing due to Indebtedness. Before any Lapse, there is a Grace Period during which a Policy Owner can take action to prevent the Lapse. Subject to certain conditions, a Policy Owner may reinstate a policy that has Lapsed.

Guaranteed Policy Continuation Provision

The policy provides for a Guaranteed Policy Continuation Provision during the Death Benefit Guarantee Period shown in the Policy Specification Pages. During the Death Benefit Guarantee Period, the policy will not Lapse if at the time a Lapsewould otherwise occur, the Premium paid, reduced for any Indebtedness, partial surrenders, and/or Returned Premiums, is equal to or greater than the sum of the Monthly Death Benefit Guarantee Premium in effect for each respective month since the policy was issued.

The Monthly Death Benefit Guarantee Premium required is stated in the Policy Specification Pages and will vary by the Insured'sIssue Age, sex, underwriting classification, any Substandard Ratings, the Total Specified Amount and any Riderselected.

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

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

Grace Period

If the Cash Surrender Value on any Policy Monthaversary is not sufficient to cover the current monthly deductions, then a Grace Period will begin. At the beginning of a Grace Period, the Policy Owner will receive a notice from Nationwide that will indicate the amount of Premium that must be paid to avoid Lapsing the policy. If the required Premium is not paid within 61 days, the policy and all Riders will Lapse. The amount is equal to the lesser of:

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

Reinstatement

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

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

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

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

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

Making Withdrawals: Accessing the Money in Your Contract

Full Surrender

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

Partial Surrender

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

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

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

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

Any reduction of the Base Policy Specified Amount will be made in the following order: against the most recent increase in the Base Policy Specified Amount, then against the next most recent increases in the Base Policy Specified Amount in succession, and finally, against the initial Base Policy Specified Amount.
