Prospectus | ||
| Is This a
Short-Term
Investment? |
No. •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.
•Surrenders may reduce contract guarantees. •Surrenders may also be subject to taxes and tax penalties.
•The benefits of tax deferral and long-term income mean the contract is generally more beneficial to investors with a long term investment horizon. |

| Should I Exchange
My Contract? |
If you already own an annuity or insurance Contract, some investment
professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new
Contract in place of the one you own. You should only exchange a
Contract you already own if you determine, after comparing the
features, fees, and risks of both Contracts, that it is better
for you to purchase the new Contract rather than continue to own
your existing Contract. |
