Investment Options<br />

AMERICAN SKANDIA STAGECOACH XTRA CREDIT <strong>SIX</strong> PROSPECTUS<br />

WHAT ARE THE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND<br />

POLICIES OF THE PORTFOLIOS?<br />

Each variable investment option is a Sub-account of American<br />

Skandia Life Assurance Corporation Variable Account B (see<br />

“What are Separate Accounts” for more detailed information).<br />

Each Sub-account invests exclusively in one Portfolio. You<br />

should carefully read the prospectus for any Portfolio in which<br />

you are interested. The following chart classifies each of the<br />

Portfolios based on our assessment of their investment style<br />

(as of the date of this Prospectus). The chart also provides a<br />

description of each Portfolio’s investment objective (in italics)<br />

and a short, summary description of their key policies to assist<br />

you in determining which Portfolios may be of interest to you.<br />

There is no guarantee that any underlying Portfolio will meet<br />

its investment objective.<br />

The name of the advisor/sub-advisor for each Portfolio<br />

appears next to the description. Those Portfolios whose name<br />

includes the prefix “AST” are Portfolios of American Skandia<br />

Trust. The investment managers for AST are American Skandia<br />

Investment Services, Incorporated, a <strong>Prudential</strong> Financial Company,<br />

and <strong>Prudential</strong> Investments LLC, affiliated companies of<br />

American Skandia. However, a sub-advisor, as noted below, is<br />

engaged to conduct day-to-day investment decisions.<br />

The Portfolios are not publicly traded mutual funds. They<br />

are only available as investment options in variable annuity<br />

contracts and variable life insurance policies issued by insurance<br />

companies, or in some cases, to participants in certain<br />

qualified retirement plans. However, some of the Portfolios<br />

available as Sub-accounts under the Annuity are managed by<br />

the same portfolio advisor or sub-advisor as a retail mutual<br />

fund of the same or similar name that the Portfolio may have<br />

been modeled after at its inception. Certain retail mutual funds<br />

may also have been modeled after a Portfolio. While the<br />

investment objective and policies of the retail mutual funds and<br />

the Portfolios may be substantially similar, the actual investments<br />

will differ to varying degrees. Differences in the performance<br />

of the funds can be expected, and in some cases could<br />

be substantial. You should not compare the performance of a<br />

publicly traded mutual fund with the performance of any similarly<br />

named Portfolio offered as a Sub-account. Details about<br />

the investment objectives, policies, risks, costs and management<br />

of the Portfolios are found in the prospectuses for the<br />

underlying mutual funds. The current prospectus and statement<br />

of additional information for the underlying Portfolios can be<br />

obtained by calling 1-800-680-6920.<br />

Effective May 1, 2004, the SP William Blair International<br />

Growth Portfolio (formerly the SP Jennison<br />

International Growth Portfolio) is no longer offered as a<br />

Sub-account under the Annuity, except as follows: if at any<br />

time prior to May 1, 2004 you had any portion of your<br />

Account Value allocated to the SP William Blair International<br />

Growth Sub-account, you may continue to allocate<br />

Account Value and make transfers into and/or out of the SP<br />

William Blair International Growth Sub-account, including<br />

any bank drafting, dollar cost averaging, asset allocation<br />

and rebalancing programs. If you never had a portion of<br />

your Account Value allocated to the SP William Blair International<br />

Growth Sub-account prior to May 1, 2004 or if you<br />

purchase your Annuity on or after May 1, 2004, you cannot<br />

allocate Account Value to the SP William Blair International<br />

Growth Sub-account.<br />

This Sub-account may be offered to new Owners at<br />

some future date; however, at the present time, there is no<br />

intention to do so. We also reserve the right to offer or<br />

close this Sub-account to all Owners that owned the Annuity<br />

prior to the close date.<br />

Contract described herein is no longer available for sale.<br />
