The edge that can
help grow your wealth
Experienced investors know they need to focus on a well-diversiï¬ed
portfolio that gives them every opportunity for growth while managing
risk. They also understand that taking into account the impact of
taxes can be critical to their ultimate success.
Investment Edge® addresses these needs by combining a robust lineup
of investment opportunities with tax-deferred growth potential1 and
tax-efï¬cient distributions. For many investors, it’s a new way to address
retirement and long-term wealth goals.
What is a variable annuity?
A variable annuity is a tax-deferred ï¬nancial product designed to allow you to invest
for growth potential and provide income for retirement or other long-term life goals.
In essence, an annuity is a contractual agreement in which payment(s) are made to
an insurance company, which agrees to pay out income or a lump sum amount at
a later date. Amounts invested in annuity portfolios are subject to fluctuation and
market risk, including loss of principal.
There are fees and charges associated with
a variable annuity contract, which include, but are not limited to, operations charges,
sales and withdrawal charges and administrative fees. Earnings are taxable as
ordinary income when distributed and may be subject to an additional 10% federal
tax if withdrawn before age 59½.
1
If you are purchasing an annuity contract to fund an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or employer-sponsored retirement plan, you should be aware
that such annuities do not provide tax-deferral beneï¬ts beyond those already provided by the Internal Revenue Code. Before purchasing one of these
annuities, you should consider whether its features and beneï¬ts beyond tax deferral meet your needs and goals.
You may also want to consider the
relative features and beneï¬ts of these annuities with any other investment that you may use in connection with your retirement plan or arrangement.

Three ways
Investment Edge® can help
you achieve your goals
Diversiï¬cation. Investment Edge® includes a vast lineup
of investment options that enables investors to more fully diversify,
reducing the impact of volatility and risk while increasing exposure
to asset classes that provide opportunities for growth.
Investment Edge® offers:
• The cornerstones of a well-diversiï¬ed portfolio,
including U.S. and international stocks and bonds.
• Innovative investment opportunities not typically available in
annuities, such as alternative investments and sector options.
• Cost- and tax-free rebalancing to keep portfolios on track and
potentially boost growth.
Tax deferral. Unlike taxable investments, Investment Edge®
allows your investment earnings to potentially grow tax-deferred.
Consumers’
Greatest Concerns
A majority of consumers
report their investment
strategies are focused on:
• Accumulating and growing
assets for their retirement.
• Protecting their assets
from the impact of taxes.

Tax-efï¬cient distributions.
Investment Edge® offers a variety
of distribution options to meet your personal needs for income.
These include Income Edge, an innovative feature that allows you to
reduce taxes on a portion of your payments.

. Your Edge for Portfolio Diversiï¬cation
Choose from a spectrum of
investment options
Expanded investment choice and flexibility enable you to better diversify your
portfolio and seek out every opportunity for growth. This includes gaining
exposure to new investment opportunities, such as alternative investments,
sector portfolios, risk-based portfolios, and global investment strategies.
Alternative Investments: Added Portfolio Diversiï¬cation
Alternative investments typically perform differently than traditional asset
classes under the same market conditions. This low correlation may provide
added portfolio diversiï¬cation, lower volatility and increased return potential.
Diversiï¬cation and asset allocation do not guarantee a proï¬t, nor do they
eliminate the risk of loss of principal.

Risk and return data does not reflect any fees and/or expenses associated with portfolio or product costs. The indices used to
determine return and risk ï¬gures for the portfolios shown are as follows: Fixed income is represented by the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, Equities
by the MSCI World Index and Alternatives by the HFRI Fund Weighted Composite Index.
Indices are unmanaged and are not available for direct investment.

By including both alternatives and traditional investments, investors may potentially enhance the risk and reward proï¬le of their portfolios. As this example
shows, standard deviation, a measure of a portfolio's risk, was higher, at 9.70%, without alternatives, but decreased to 8.55% with 30% alternatives allocation.
3
Standard deviation measures the dispersion of a set of data from its mean.
Alternative funds use investment strategies that differ from the buy-and-hold strategy typical in the mutual fund industry. Compared to a traditional
mutual fund, an alternative fund typically holds more aggressive non-traditional investments and employs more complex trading strategies.
Investors
considering alternative funds should be aware of their unique characteristics and risks as described in the prospectus before investing. Alternative
Investments can be less liquid and more volatile than traditional investments and often lack longer term track records.

International Exposure: Important to Diversify
A well-diversiï¬ed portfolio isn’t limited to domestic stocks and bonds,
but also includes investments outside the U.S. As of December 31,
2014, U.S. equities accounted for less than half of the global equity
market.4 Portfolios investing only in domestic stocks could miss out
on over half of the global equity market opportunities.
U.S. Annual Returns Compared to
Top Performing Developed Global Stocks
It is rare to ï¬nd any single market that has consistently performed
among the top global stock markets.
Since it is nearly impossible to
predict which market will be a top performer in a given year, it can
be beneï¬cial to hold a portfolio diversiï¬ed across several countries.

. Your Edge for Tax Deferral
Gain the potential for greater
wealth through tax deferral
In the end, it’s not just about what assets you accumulate but also
what assets you keep. That’s why Investment Edge® offers tax-deferred
growth potential.
During the years when you’re accumulating assets, tax deferral
enables your assets to potentially grow more quickly through
compounding, keeping more of your money invested so you won’t
have to pay taxes on earnings until you withdraw.
Tax Advantages
The chart below is a hypothetical illustration of the potential advantages of tax-deferred over taxable
investments over time. The illustration assumes an annual return of 8% and a tax rate of 33%.

Before Withdrawal
Assumes lump-sum withdrawal or distribution.
This hypothetical chart does not represent actual performance of any speciï¬c product or investment. Withdrawals of tax-deferred
earnings are subject to ordinary income tax.
A 10% federal tax may also apply if you take the withdrawal before you reach age
59½. Dividends and sales proï¬ts on annually taxed investments are generally taxed at capital gains tax rates, which can be lower
than ordinary federal income tax rates. Using capital gains tax rates with the taxed-annually investment would reduce the difference
between the taxed-annually and tax-deferred accounts shown above.
Please note that this chart excludes expenses associated with
Investment Edge®, including the administration, distribution and operations fees. Investment Edge® charges include 0.70% operations
fee, 0.30% administration fee and 0.10% distribution fee. The withdrawal charge declines from 6% to 3% over ï¬ve years for the
Investment Edge® contract.
Earnings are taxable as ordinary income when distributed and may be subject to an additional 10%
federal tax if withdrawn before age 59½. The Investment Edge® Select contract has no withdrawal charge. If expenses had been
reflected, the tax-deferred amounts would be lower.
Consider your personal investment horizon and income tax bracket, both current
and anticipated, when making an investment decision. These factors, as well as changes in tax rates and the treatment of investment
earnings, may further affect the results of this comparison. Actual results will vary.
Rates of return will vary over time, particularly for
long-term investments. Investments offering the potential for higher rates of return also involve a higher degree of risk.

Rebalance regularly to stay on track
Over time, investment gains and losses mean your portfolio can
change from your original asset allocation. Rebalancing can help
reduce risk and keep your portfolio in line with your long-term
investment strategy. Investment Edge® enables you to rebalance
regularly 5 – without costs, taxes or tax paperwork – so you can stay
on track even when the markets don’t and potentially boost growth.
A Smoother Ride: Portfolio Rebalancing
From 1994 through 2014, annual rebalancing in a 60/40 stock/bond

same portfolio without rebalancing.

Non-Rebalanced Portfolio
Rebalanced Portfolio
Each hypothetical portfolio consists of 60% stocks, 30% bonds, and 10% cash at the portfolio begin date.
The 60% stock allocation consists of 30% large, 15% small, and 15% international stocks at each portfolio begin
date. The bond allocation consists entirely of ï¬ve-year U.S.
government bonds, while the cash allocation consists
of 30-day U.S. Treasury bills. The rebalanced portfolio has been rebalanced annually.
Large stocks in this example are represented by the Standard & Poor’s 500® index, which is an unmanaged group of
securities and considered to be representative of the U.S.
stock market in general. Small stocks are represented by
the Ibbotson® Small Company Stock Index, international stocks by the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe,

Treasury bill. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. An investment cannot be made

. Your Edge for Tax-Efï¬cient Distributions
Receive more income when you need it
A core part of Investment Edge® is the flexibility to access your income
in multiple ways.
A key feature in non-qualiï¬ed contracts, Income Edge is a payment
program that is available at no additional fee and allows you to:
• Take tax-efï¬cient distributions. Payments are only partially taxed.6
• Generally receive higher after-tax income when you begin taking
payments, assuming there are gains in your account.7
• Choose an income plan that ï¬ts your needs. Options available
for pre-retirees, retirees, and certain beneï¬ciaries.
Alternatively, you can take withdrawals using our other systematic
withdrawal services, including our Automatic Required Minimum
Distribution service, as well as lump sum distributions. If you need
to take early withdrawals, Income Edge can provide a payment
program that avoids the 10% IRS tax penalty.8

Income Edge — Tax-efï¬cient payment program
Income Edge is an innovative feature available for no additional fee that allows
investors in non-qualiï¬ed and inherited non-qualiï¬ed contracts to elect a flexible
payment program. When elected, Income Edge is designed to pay out the entire
account value via scheduled payments over a set period of time and a portion of
each payment is a return of your cost basis and thus excludable from taxes. This
tax-free amount is calculated by dividing the remaining cost basis by the number
of years in the payment period selected and will not change once calculated. Once
you begin taking payments, you may not stop or increase your payment although the
contract can be fully redeemed for the then-current account value net of applicable
withdrawal charges.
After Income Edge election, withdrawals are fully taxable and, in
excess of the annual 10% free withdrawal amount, will continue to be subject to a
withdrawal charge if they are made during the withdrawal charge period. Owners of
contracts issued with the Protected Premium Death Beneï¬t must drop the beneï¬t
upon Income Edge election. If the contract owner dies after Income Edge is elected,
scheduled payments will continue to the beneï¬ciary and any speciï¬ed form of death
beneï¬t payout that you have selected will be invalidated.
The Income Edge payment
program does not represent a life contingent annuitization of the Investment Edge®
contract. With a life contingent annuitization the account value is applied to
provide periodic payments for life and the Investment Edge® contract and all its
beneï¬ts terminate. A combination of adverse investment performance, additional
withdrawals, and contract fees may reduce the payout period selected.
Unlike a
life contingent annuitization, Income Edge allows for a form of annuity payment
that is designed to pay out the entire value of the contract via scheduled payments
over a set period of time and provide continuous access to the contract's account
value. The amount of payments available through the Income Edge program
is re-determined on an annual basis, meaning that the amount of the payment
should vary each year of the payout period. There are additional restrictions and
limitations, including age restrictions and the payout period being limited to
speciï¬c time periods.
Please see the prospectus for more information including
Investment Edge® fees and charges.
