Variable annuities and variable life insurance products are long-term investments and may not be suitable for all investors. Investments in these products are subject to fluctuating values of the underlying investment options, including the possible loss of principal.

There are fees and charges associated with variable annuities which include, but are not limited to mortality and expense risk charges, sales, surrender charges, administrative fees, charges for optional benefits as well as charges for the underlying investment options. The guaranteed income benefit is provided through an optional rider for an additional fee, goes into effect upon the purchase of units of a covered fund and is paid for through the sale of units of the covered fund(s), which reduces the annuity account value. Partial withdrawals will decrease the death benefit and cash value. A withdrawal charge may also apply.
