Investment Strategy
The Fund invests primarily in common stocks or other securities that demonstrate the potential for appreciation and/or dividends. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its assets,
at the time of purchase, in securities of issuers domiciled outside the United States. The Fund is designed for investors seeking both capital appreciation and income.
This Portfolio is only offered as an investment option within a variable annuity contract.
There are other investment choices available with different management fees associated with each choice.
Variable annuities are long-term, tax-deferred vehicles designed for retirement purposes. They offer three main benefits: tax-deferred treatment of earnings, guaranteed death
benefit options, and guaranteed lifetime payout options. Variable annuities are subject to investment risk, including possible loss of principal.
The value of the variable annuity will fluctuate so that when surrendered, it may be worth more or less than the total of premium payments. Past performance is no guarantee
of future results.
Before investing, consider a variable annuity’s investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses carefully before investing. Call 1-800-525-6205 for a contract and
fund prospectus containing this and other information. Please read it carefully.
Generally, each subaccount has broad risks that apply to all subaccounts, such as market risk, as well as specific risks of investing in particular types of subaccounts.
The S&P 500® is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.
