Asset allocation is a strategy for managing your investment portfolio. You decide how much to allocate into each investment type, also called asset class, based on your risk tolerance and your financial goals. This annuity offers a fixed account and 32 variable investment options comprising all the Morningstar asset classes. The minimum allocation to each investment option is $100. You can allocate your current premiums amongst up to 24 investment options at a time.
Rebalancing is the periodic adjusting of investment option balances to maintain a pre-established asset allocation strategy. You may request a rebalancing of your portfolio either once or on a periodic basis. For periodic rebalancing requests, you may select from a quarterly, semiannual or annual period. You may rebalance your portfolio value into as many as 10 other investment options.
Dollar cost averaging is a systematic method of investing in which securities are purchased at regular intervals in fixed dollar amounts so that the cost of the securities is averaged over time and possibly over various market cycles. You may preschedule a series of transfers from the fixed account and between the variable investment options to take advantage of dollar cost averaging. You may select from a 3-month, 6-month or 12-month period to complete the DCA program. You may transfer value from one existing investment option into as many as 10 other investment options.
Loans against the fixed account value are available starting at issue of the policy. The minimum loan amount required is $500. The maximum loan amount is limited by (1) Internal Revenue Code limits, or (2) $50,000 or (3) 50% of the fixed surrender value.

The term of the loan cannot extend beyond age 70.
