Annuities are long-term, tax-deferred insurance contracts designed for retirement. Withdrawals made prior to age 59 ½ may be subject to taxes and possible penalties. Any guarantees are backed by the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company. Contracts are subject to fees and limitations.

Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses of variable annuities carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other important information about the variable annuity and its underlying funds. Prospectuses for both the variable annuity contract and the underlying funds are available from your financial advisor and should be read carefully before investing.

Investing involves risk and you may incur a profit or a loss regardless of strategy selected. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Prior to making an investment decision, please consult with your financial advisor about your individual situation.
