Asset Allocation is your personal plan for developing a diversified investment portfolio by combining different assets in varying proportions. Asset allocation works by ensuring you own a variety of investment options, so that during market fluctuations, your portfolio may experience less fluctuation. Your Personal allocation plan should consider the appropriate mix of investments that match your financial goals, time horizon and risk tolerance. We have teamed up with Ibbotson Associates, a leading authority on asset allocation, to develop the Asset Allocation Program and model portfolios. Ibbotson uses investment methodology, including historical asset performance and attribution analysis, to determine a model that is consistent with your particular level of risk.

If loans are available under your plan, loan provisions are as follows: We will charge interest on these loans. The maximum rate of interest that we will charge will be 8% or such other higher rate that may be required by the plan administrator or an employer retirement plan that controls the Contract. These loans will be secured with an interest in your Contract. If loans are available under your Contract and you borrow money under the loan provisions, we may require you to hold the amount necessary to secure all loans under your Contract (“collateral amount”) in the Fixed Accumulation Account. To meet this requirement, it may be necessary for you to transfer funds to the Fixed Accumulation Account from the Subaccounts to which you have allocated your Account Value. See prospectus.
The Contracts are subject to the required minimum distribution (“RMD”) rules of federal tax law. These rules vary based on the tax qualification of the Contract or the plan under which it is issued. For a Tax-Sheltered Annuity Plan, a participant who is not a 5% owner of the employer may delay required minimum distributions until April 1 following the year in which the participant retires from that employer. The required minimum distributions during life are calculated based on standard life expectancy tables. Please see prospectus for details.
