A group variable annuity is a long-term financial product designed for retirement purposes. In essence, a group variable annuity is a contractual agreement in which payments(s) are made to an insurance company on behalf of retirement plan participants, which agrees to pay out an income or a lump sum amount at a later date to those participants. There are contract limitations and fees and charges associated with group variable annuities, which include, but are not limited to, administrative fees and charges for investment management. Contact a Retirement Program Specialist for costs and complete details. Variable annuities are subject to 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. Structured Capital Strategies® contains the Structured Investment Option (SIO), which permits the contract owner to invest in one or more Segments, with growth potential up to a specified Performance Cap Rate, each of which provides performance tied to the performance of an equity or commodities index for a set period (1 year, 3 years, 5 years). The partial protection feature, called the Segment Buffer, will absorb up to the first -30% of loss, depending on the Segment Type selected. Keep in mind that there is risk of substantial loss of principal because the investor agrees to absorb all losses that exceed the protection provided by the SIO at maturity. Additionally, it must be noted that there are Variable Investment Options available that are not part of the SIO and the investment results in these Variable Investment Options do not depend on the investment performance of a related index.
