Summary Prospectus for New Investors

May 1, 2024

This summary prospectus (the "Summary Prospectus") summarizes key features of the contract. Before you invest, you should also review the statutory prospectus (the "prospectus") for the contract, which contains more information about the contract's features, benefits, and risks. You can find this document and other information about the contract online at www.equitable.com/ICSR#EQH146680. You can also obtain this information at no cost by calling 1-877-522-5035, by sending an email request to [email protected], or by calling your financial intermediary.

The MOMENTUMSM contracts are group deferred annuity contracts offered as a funding vehicle for employers' sponsored retirement plans. This Summary Prospectus only describes MOMENTUMSM. The contracts provide for the accumulation of retirement savings and for income. The contracts also offer death benefit protection and a number of payout options.

Contributions accumulate on a tax-deferred basis. A contract owner may fund a plan by selecting any number of our investment options. The investment options include variable investment options and one guaranteed interest account option (the "investment options"). The contract investment options that the contract owner has chosen correspond to certain of the options offered under the 401(a) or 401(k) plans available to a participant. A contract owner is an employer or plan trustee.

You may cancel your contract within 10 days of receiving it without paying fees or penalties. In some states, this cancellation period may be longer. Upon cancellation, you will receive either a full refund of the amount you paid with your application or your account value. You should review the prospectus, or consult with your investment professional, for additional information about the specific cancellation terms that apply.

We reserve the right to stop accepting any application or contribution from you at any time, including after you purchase the contract. If you have one or more guaranteed benefits and we exercise our right to discontinue the acceptance of, and/or place additional limitations on, contributions to the contract, you may no longer be able to fund your guaranteed benefit(s). This means that if you have already funded your guaranteed benefits, you may no longer be able to increase your guaranteed benefits.

Additional information about certain investment products, including variable annuities, has been prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission's staff and is available at Investor.gov.

Important information you should consider about the contract

FEES AND EXPENSES
Charges for Early Withdrawals

If you surrender your contract, apply your cash value to a non-life contingent annuity payment option, or withdraw money from the contract before the end of the 6th contract year since your last contribution, you will be assessed a withdrawal charge of up to 6% of the amount withdrawn or the contributions made in the current and five prior participation years, whichever is less. For example, if you make a withdrawal in the first year, you could pay a withdrawal charge of up to $6,000 on a $100,000 investment.

For additional information about the charges for surrenders and early withdrawals charges see "Withdrawal charge" in "Charges under the contract" under "Charges and expenses" in the prospectus.

Transaction Charges

In addition to withdrawal charges you may also be charged for other transactions (including loans and for special requests such as express mail or duplicate contracts). If an employer or plan trustee elects our recordkeeping option, checkwriting fees may apply.

For additional information about transaction charges see "Charges under the contract" in "Charges and expenses" in the prospectus.

RISKS
Risk of Loss The contract is subject to the risk of loss. You could lose some or all of your retirement account value. For additional information about the risk of loss see "Principal risks of investing in the contract" in the prospectus.
Not a Short-Term Investment The contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash because the contract is designed to provide for the accumulation of retirement savings and income on a long-term basis. As such, you should not use the contract as a short-term investment or savings vehicle. A withdrawal charge may apply in certain circumstances and any withdrawals may also be subject to federal and state income taxes and tax penalties. For additional information about the investment profile of the contract see "Fee table" in the prospectus.
Risks Associated with Investment Options

An investment in the contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the variable investment options available under the contract, (e.g., the Portfolios). Each investment option, including the guaranteed interest option, has its own unique risks. You should review the investment options available under the contract before making an investment decision.

For additional information about the risks associated with investment options see "Variable investment options", "Portfolios of the Trust" and "Guaranteed interest option" in "Purchasing the Contract" in the prospectus.

See also Appendix "Portfolio Companies available under the contract" in the prospectus.

Insurance Company Risks

An investment in the contract is subject to the risks related to the Company. The Company is solely responsible to the contract owner for the contract's retirement account value and the optional benefits. The general obligations, including the guaranteed interest option, and any optional benefits under the contract are supported by our general account and are subject to our claims paying ability. An owner should look solely to our financial strength for our claims-paying ability. More information about the Company, including our financial strength ratings, may be obtained at www.equitable.com/about-us/financial-strength-ratings.

For additional information about insurance company risks see "About the general account" in "More information" in the prospectus.

RESTRICTIONS
Investments

We may, at any time, exercise our rights to limit or terminate your contributions, allocations and transfers to any of the variable investment options and to limit the number of variable investment options which you may select. Such rights include, among others, combining any two or more variable investment options and transferring the retirement account value from any variable investment option to be the shares of the class of contracts to which the contracts belong from any variable investment option to another variable investment option.

For more information see "About Separate Account A" in "More information" in the prospectus.

For additional information about the investment options, including information regarding volatility management strategies and techniques, see "Portfolios of the Trust" in "Purchasing the Contract" in the prospectus.

3

Other Benefits

At any time, we have the right to limit or terminate your contributions, allocations and transfers to any of the variable investment options. If you have one or more optional benefits and we exercise our right to discontinue the acceptance of, and/or place additional limitations on, contributions to the contract and/or contributions and/or transfers into the retirement account variable investment options, you may no longer be able to fund your retirement account. Not all employer plans will offer loans. Loans are subject to restrictions under federal tax rules and ERISA.

For additional information about the optional benefits see "How contributions can be made" in "Purchasing the Contract" in the prospectus. See also "Payment of Death Benefit" and "Other Benefits" in "Benefits available under the contract" in the prospectus.

TAXES
Tax Implications

You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in, and payments received under, the contract. There is no additional tax benefit to you if the contract is purchased through a tax-qualified plan or individual retirement account (IRA). Withdrawals will be subject to ordinary income tax and may be subject to tax penalties. Generally, you are not taxed until you make a withdrawal from the contract.

For more information, see "Tax information" in the prospectus.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Investment Professional Compensation

Some financial professionals may receive compensation for selling the contract to you, both in the form of commissions or in the form of contribution-based compensation. Financial professionals may also receive additional compensation for enhanced marketing opportunities and other services (commonly referred to as "marketing allowances"). This conflict of interest may influence the financial professional to recommend this contract over another investment.

For additional information about compensation to financial professionals see "Distribution of the contracts" in "More information" in the prospectus.

Exchanges Some financial professionals may have a financial incentive to offer a new contract in place of the one you already own. You should only exchange your contract if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both contracts, that it is preferable to purchase the new contract rather than continue to own your existing contract.

Overview of the contract

Purpose of the Contract

MOMENTUMSM is a funding vehicle for employers who sponsor qualified retirement plans. The MOMENTUMSM employer-sponsored retirement program includes 401(a) and 401(k) plans, which are described in this prospectus. The MOMENTUMSM program consists of a defined contribution IRS pre-approved plan and trust ("Plan and Trust"), which we sponsor, and a pooled trust ("Pooled Trust") for employers who prefer to use their own qualified plan and trust. This funding vehicle is designed to help you accumulate assets through investments in underlying Portfolios and the guaranteed interest option during the accumulation phase. It can provide or supplement your retirement income by providing a stream of income payments during the annuity phase. It also provides a death benefit to protect your beneficiaries. The contract may be appropriate if you have a long-term investment horizon. It is not intended for people who may need to access invested funds within a short-term timeframe or frequently, or who intend to engage in frequent transfers of the underlying Portfolios.

Phases of the Contract

The contract has two phases: an accumulation (savings) phase and an income (annuity) phase.

Accumulation (Savings) Phase

During the accumulation phase, you can allocate your contributions to one or more of the available investment options, which include:

Variable investment options;
Guaranteed interest option; and
Asset (Retirement account value) rebalancing option.

For additional information about each underlying Portfolio see Appendix "Portfolio Companies available under the contract".

Income (Annuity) Phase

You enter the income phase when you annuitize your contract. During the income phase, you will receive a stream of fixed income payments for the annuity payout period of time you elect. You can elect to receive annuity payments (1) for life; (2) for life with a certain minimum number of payments; (3) for life with a certain minimum number of payments to the beneficiary upon the death of the annuitant; or (4) for life with a certain amount of payment. Please note that when you annuitize, your investments are converted to income payments and you will no longer be able to make any additional withdrawals from your contract. All accumulation phase benefits terminate upon annuitization and the contract has a maximum annuity commencement date.

Contract Features

The contract provides for the accumulation of retirement savings and income. The contract offers income, death benefit protection and offers various payout options.

Access to Your Money

During the accumulation phase you can take withdrawals from your contract up to 10% of your account value without paying a withdrawal charge. Withdrawals will reduce your account value and may be subject to withdrawal charges, income taxes and a tax penalty. Withdrawals may also reduce your death benefit (possibly on a greater than dollar-for-dollar basis).

Death Benefit

Your contract includes a minimum death benefit that pays your beneficiaries an amount equal to at least your contributions less adjusted withdrawals, outstanding loan balances and accrued interest.

Automatic Asset Rebalancing Option

If elected by your employer or plan trustee, you can elect to have your retirement account value automatically rebalanced at no additional charge.

Buying the Contract

Employers and plan trustees, as applicable, may make contributions at any time. Participants should not send contributions directly to the us. There is no minimum contribution amount, however, we have the right to require a minimum aggregate amount of contributions.

Limitations on contributions to the contract

We reserve the right to refuse to accept any contribution under the contract at any time or change our contribution limits and requirements. This means that if you have one or more Guaranteed benefits and we exercise our right to discontinue the acceptance of, and/or place additional limitations on, contributions to the contract, you may no longer be able to fund your Guaranteed benefits. This means that if you have already funded your Guaranteed benefits, you may no longer be able to increase your Guaranteed benefits.

When initial and subsequent contributions are credited

Initial Contribution

An initial contribution must generally be accompanied by all properly completed forms. Failure to use the proper form, or to complete the form properly, may result in a delay in crediting contributions. If your application is in good order when we receive it for application processing purposes, your contribution will be applied within two business days. If any information is missing or unclear, we will hold the contribution, whether received via check or wire, in a non-interest bearing suspense account while we try to obtain that information. Employers should send all contributions to the Company at the processing office. See "How to reach us" in the prospectus.

The contract owner may instruct us to accept a participant's plan investment allocations as the contract allocation with respect to plan assets attributable to a participant's retirement account value. If so instructed, we will allocate contributions under the contract according to the allocation percentages specified on a participant's enrollment form. In the absence of direct instructions from the contract owner, if we receive an initial contribution before we receive a signed enrollment form or the allocation instructions on the form are incomplete (e.g., do not add up to 100%), we will notify the employer or plan trustee, as applicable, and request corrected instructions. The contract owner may also instruct us as to participants' investment allocations pursuant to the Save 1-2-3 program, as described in the prospectus.

We will return the contribution to the employer or plan trustee, as applicable, in five business days, if we have not received the signed form or corrected allocation instructions, unless we have obtained the appropriate authorization to continue to hold the contribution.

Subsequent Contributions

If we receive a subsequent contribution before the close of the NYSE (typically 4:00 pm eastern), we will credit that contribution that day. If we receive your subsequent contribution after the close of the NYSE, your contribution will be applied the next business day.

Additional limitations on contributions to the contract

Additional limitations on contributions and the source of contributions may apply. Please see "How contributions can be made" in "Purchasing the Contract" to the prospectus for more detailed information. You can obtain the prospectus by calling the number or accessing the website noted on the first page of this summary prospectus.

Making Withdrawals: Accessing the Money in Your Contract

Accessing your money

Subject to any restrictions in your employer's plan, the contract allows your employer or plan trustee, whichever applies, to make a withdrawal from your retirement account value on your behalf by submitting a completed withdrawal form to our processing office. We will process withdrawal requests on the business day we receive the required information. We will send withdrawal proceeds to your employer or plan trustee, unless your employer instructs us to send the distributions directly to the participants. If we receive only partially completed information, we will return the request to the employer or plan trustee for completion before we can process it.

The employer or plan trustee may also terminate its entire participation under the contract by writing to our processing office. In addition, if a plan does not qualify under federal income tax rules, or, if a contract owner fails to provide us with the participant data necessary to administer the contract, we may return the plan assets to the employer or plan trustee.

Withdrawals or terminations may result in a withdrawal charge. Withdrawals reduce your retirement account value and may be subject to withdrawal charges and have tax consequences, including possible tax penalties.

Please see "Accessing your money" in the prospectus for more information on the ways you may withdraw your account value.

Free withdrawal amount

Each contract year you can withdraw a certain amount from your contract without paying a withdrawal charge.

When to expect payments

Generally, we will fulfill requests for payments out of the variable investment options within seven calendar days after the date of the transaction to which the request relates. These transactions may include applying proceeds to an annuity payout option, payment of a death benefit or payment of any portion of your retirement account value (less any withdrawal charge).

8

Additional Information About Fees

The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you will pay when buying, owning, surrendering or making withdrawals from the contract. Each of the charges and expenses is more fully described in "Charges and expenses" in this prospectus. Please refer to your contract specifications page for information about the specific fees you will pay each year based on the options you have elected.

The first table describes fees and expenses that you will pay at the time that you surrender the contract, or if you make certain withdrawals, transfers or request special services. Charges designed to approximate certain taxes that may be imposed on us, such as premium taxes in your state, may also apply.

Important exceptions and limitations may eliminate or reduce this charge. For a complete description of withdrawal charges, please see "Withdrawal charge" in "Charges and expenses" in this prospectus.

(2)

$50 maximum per loan when a loan is made, plus an additional $6.00 per quarter for the administration of the outstanding loan amount. Your employer may elect to pay these charges. This charge is expressed on a per plan participant basis. Interest is charged on the loan at a rate set by your plan and is credited back to your contract as you repay the loan.

(3)

We will bill this charge directly to your employer if the employer elects the basic plan recordkeeping option. We charge a fee of $50 per check drawn if the employer elects to have us directly distribute plan benefits and withdrawals. We reserve the right to waive or increase these charges upon 90 days' written notice to the employer or plan trustee.

The next table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay each year during the time that you own the contract (not including Portfolio fees and expenses). If you choose to purchase an optional benefit, you will pay additional charges, as shown below.

Administrative Charge (1) $30
Base Contract Expenses (as a percentage of daily net assets in the variable investment options)(2) 1.49%(3)
Annual basic recordkeeping charge(4) $300
(1)

The quarterly administrative charge is currently $7.50 or, if less, 0.50% of a participant's retirement account value plus the amount of any active loan. Your employer may elect to pay this charge for plans with 10 or more participants. We do not currently assess this charge for any calendar quarter in which the retirement account value plus any active loan is $25,000 or more on the last business day of that calendar quarter. We have reserved the right to increase this charge. The annual administrative charge is deducted from your retirement account value on each contract date anniversary. If the contract is surrendered or annuitized or a death benefit is paid on any date other than the contract date anniversary, we will deduct a pro rata portion of the administrative charge for that year.

(2)

The total Separate Account A annual expenses deducted from the variable investment options and the total annual expenses of EQ Advisors Trust is not permitted to exceed a total annual rate of 1.75% of the value of the assets held in each of the EQ/Moderate Allocation, Multimanager Aggressive Equity, EQ/Common Stock Index and EQ/Money Market options.

(3)

(4)

We will bill this charge directly to your employer if the employer elects the basic plan recordkeeping option. We charge a fee of $50 per check drawn if the employer elects to have us directly distribute plan benefits and withdrawals. We reserve the right to waive or increase these charges upon 90 days' written notice to the employer or plan trustee.

The next item shows the minimum and maximum total operating expenses charged by the underlying Portfolios that you may pay periodically during the time that you own the contract. A complete list of Portfolios available under the contact, including their annual expenses, may be found at the back of this document. See Appendix "Portfolio Companies available under the contract." These expenses are for the period ended December 31, 2023, and may fluctuate from year to year.

"Annual Portfolio Expenses" may be based, in part, on estimated amounts of such expenses.

Example

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

The Example assumes that you invest $100,000 in the contract for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and assumes the most expensive combination of annual Portfolio expenses and optional benefits available for an additional charge.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

If you surrender your contract or annuitize (under a non-life
option) at the end of the applicable time period
If you do not surrender your contract
1 year 3 years 5 years 10 years 1 year 3 years 5 years 10 years
$8,739 $15,595 $22,693 $35,132 $3,245 $9,905 $16,802 $35,132

Transferring the retirement account value. The EQ/Money Market option is always available under an original certificate. However, we will not permit transfers into the EQ/Money Market option from any other investment option. There will not be any other transfer limitations under an original certificate.

Default option for the forfeiture account. We allocate amounts in the forfeiture account to the default option. For original certificates, the guaranteed interest option is the default option.

Please note that you may transfer account value out of the investment option that invests in the above class A shares of each Portfolio into any other investment option available under your contract or policy any time prior to the Effective Date. Such transfers will be free of charge and will not count as one of your annual free transfers under your contract or policy. Also, for a period of 60 days after the Effective Date, any account value that was transferred to the investment option that invests in the class B share of the Portfolio as a result of the Combination can be transferred into any other investment option available under your contract or policy free of charge and will not count as one of your annual free transfers. Please refer to your Prospectus for detailed information about investment options.

On or about the Effective Date:

-

The class A share of each Portfolio under your contract or policy will be removed as an investment option, and the corresponding class B share of the Portfolio will be added as an available investment option (subject to any applicable allocation restrictions). If you have account value allocated to the investment option that invests in the class A share of the Portfolio, your contract or policy will be automatically credited with interest in the corresponding investment option that invests in the class B share of the Portfolio. Your interest in the class B share of the Portfolio immediately after the Combination will be equal to your interest in the removed class A share of the Portfolio immediately prior to the Combination.

-

You will not bear any of the expenses related to the Combination, and the Combination will not result in any tax consequences for you.

-

All allocation elections and instructions that include the class A share of the Portfolio(s) will be automatically updated to replace the class A share of the Portfolio(s) with the corresponding class B share of the Portfolio(s) unless you instruct us otherwise.
