Annuities are long-term retirement planning vehicles and can offer lifetime income and death benefits to help meet financial needs and goals. Variable annuities offer a wide variety of investment options that provide for diversification opportunities. There are many types of distribution options available to an investor when taking money from an annuity. Annuities contain mortality and expense charges, administrative charges, and surrender charges for early withdrawals, an annual contract fee, and investment management expenses. Refer to the prospectus for more information.

Taxes will be due upon distribution. The investment return and principal value of a variable annuity will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.
