Make the Most of<br />

Your Retirement<br />

In the future, more time will be<br />

spent in retirement. It’s important<br />

to plan ahead to help you achieve<br />

your retirement goals.<br />

A variable annuity, a contract<br />

between you and an insurance<br />

company, can be an important<br />

part of a long-term retirement<br />

strategy. It’s the only investment<br />

that can provide lifetime income<br />

and death benefits as well as<br />

the ability to transfer among<br />

investment options tax-free.<br />

With <strong>Pacific</strong> Value,<br />

you have:<br />

The Power of Diversification<br />

Flexibility to choose investment<br />

strategies that best fit your goals.<br />

The Power of Choice<br />

Optional benefits providing<br />

principal protection and lifetime<br />

income.<br />

A variable annuity offers you the<br />

potential to outpace inflation as<br />

you grow your assets. You also are<br />

able to choose how much and<br />

where to invest as well as when to<br />

start taking income. Your income<br />

is available through withdrawals or<br />

you can convert your contract to<br />

annuity income payouts (standard<br />

payout options). Think of it as a<br />

personal retirement investment<br />

that you control.<br />

The<br />

<strong>Pacific</strong> Value®<br />

Advantage<br />

An Immediate Credit Enhancement<br />

When you invest in <strong>Pacific</strong> Value, you jump-start your<br />

investment (purchase payments) with a 4% or 5% credit.<br />

This helps you achieve your investment goals by crediting<br />

you with more money to start with on day one.<br />

Investment<br />

Credit<br />

Enhancement<br />

Less than $250,000 4%<br />

$250,000 or more 5%<br />

How the Credit Works<br />

Initial Investment $100,000<br />

+ 4% Credit on $100,000 $ 4,000<br />

Total Invested $104,000<br />

Credit enhancements are treated as additional earnings when distributed for<br />

tax purposes and will be subject to market risk when invested in the variable<br />

investment options. In certain scenarios, <strong>Pacific</strong> <strong>Life</strong> will recapture the credit<br />

enhancement (subject to state availability); see the prospectus for more<br />

information. Contracts with credit enhancements may have higher fees and<br />

expenses and longer surrender periods than contracts that do not provide<br />

credit enhancements.<br />

Who’s Who<br />

in an Annuity?<br />

It’s important to know who the key parties are in an annuity contract.<br />

There may be one or more owners, annuitants, and beneficiaries.<br />

Owner<br />

Makes the decisions about the annuity, such as how much money<br />

to invest and how it should be allocated. The owner also names the<br />

annuitants and the beneficiaries.<br />

Annuitant<br />

The owner and the annuitant may or may not be the same person.<br />

Either way, it’s the annuitant’s life expectancy that is used to set the<br />

dollar amount of future annuity income.<br />

Beneficiary<br />

If the owner or annuitant dies before income payouts begin, usually, the<br />

beneficiary is the one who may have the right to receive the death benefit.<br />

The Power of Tax Deferral<br />

Because a variable annuity<br />

is a tax-deferred investment<br />

for individuals, earnings will<br />

compound without current<br />

income tax. Your money grows<br />

faster because you don’t pay<br />

taxes on earnings until you<br />

actually withdraw them or until<br />

they are distributed to you.<br />

Whether you purchase<br />

your annuity with after-tax<br />

(nonqualified) or pretax<br />

(qualified) dollars, you have<br />

the benefit of tax-deferred<br />

compounding. IRAs and qualified<br />

plans—such as 401(k)s and<br />

403(b)s—are already tax-deferred.<br />

Therefore, an annuity should<br />

be used only to fund an IRA or<br />

qualified plan to benefit from<br />

the annuity’s features other<br />

than tax deferral. These features<br />

include lifetime income, death<br />

benefit options, and the ability<br />

to transfer among investment<br />

options without sales or<br />

withdrawal charges.<br />

This chart illustrates just how effective tax deferral can be. A $100,000<br />

initial investment, compounded at 8% annually over 30 years, grows to<br />

$1,006,266 with taxes deferred. Once taxes are paid on the lump-sum<br />

distribution, the amount is $707,198—still much more than the $478,931<br />

accumulated in a taxable investment over the same time frame.<br />

After-tax<br />

Pretax<br />

Taxable Investment<br />

Assumes a 33% ordinary income tax rate, assessed yearly on the taxable investment and at<br />

period-end on the tax-deferred investment. Actual tax rates may vary for different taxpayers<br />

and assets from that illustrated (e.g., capital gains and qualified dividend income). Actual<br />

performance of your investment also will vary. Lower maximum tax rates on capital gains<br />

and dividends would make the investment return for the taxable investment more favorable,<br />

thereby reducing the difference in performance between the investments shown. Consider<br />

your personal investment horizon and income tax brackets, both current and anticipated,<br />

when making an investment decision. Hypothetical returns are not guaranteed and do not<br />

represent performance of any particular investment. If <strong>Pacific</strong> Value charges were included<br />

[1.25% mortality and expense risk (1.40% in New York), 0.15% administrative (0.25% in<br />

New York), and underlying fund expenses, and 9% maximum withdrawal charge], the<br />

tax-deferred performance would be significantly lower.<br />

Standard Income<br />

Features<br />

You are automatically entitled to one of the following four standard payout options including some that pay for<br />

life. Choosing appropriately for your retirement strategy is important because once you convert your contract<br />

to an annuity income stream, you cannot switch payout options. Amounts will differ based on the payout<br />

period selected. Usually, the longer the possible payout period, the lower the periodic payment amount.<br />

Periodic payouts for life are guaranteed.<br />

Guaranteed income you can’t outlive with beneficiary protection<br />

Periodic payouts will be made for life and guaranteed for a minimum period<br />

of 7 to 30 years. If you die before the end of the period, your beneficiary<br />

will receive the remaining income. If you live longer than the period certain,<br />

you will continue to receive the income until you die.<br />

Income you and another person can’t outlive<br />

Periodic payouts are guaranteed over your lifetime (as the primary<br />

annuitant) and the lifetime of another person (as the secondary annuitant).<br />

Guaranteed income over time<br />

Guaranteed periodic payouts will be made over a specific period, from<br />

7 to 30 years.<br />

You can determine whether you want a fixed-dollar amount and/or a variable payout amount and how<br />

frequently you’ll receive your payments. If you choose a variable payout, you can continue to be allocated to<br />

a Portfolio Optimization model, the Asset Allocation Strategies, a Custom Model, or individual investment<br />

options—it’s your choice.<br />

Tax Advantages<br />

When you begin taking annuity<br />

income payouts under one of the<br />

standard payout options, each<br />

payout is composed of money<br />

that you’ve paid into the annuity<br />

plus any earnings. For qualified<br />

contracts, taxes will generally<br />

be due on the entire payout.<br />

For nonqualified contracts,<br />

taxes will be due only on the<br />

earnings portion. A formula<br />

unique to annuities determines<br />

the nontaxable portion of each<br />

payout until all of the money you<br />

put into the contract has been<br />

taken out. Due to the formula,<br />

nonqualified income payouts are<br />

tax-advantaged—which means<br />

that you spread out your tax<br />

liability over time. The actual tax<br />

impact will depend on the payout<br />

option, term, and age at which<br />

the payout option is selected.<br />

Access to Your Money<br />

Instead of taking standard<br />

payouts, you can continue to<br />

grow your assets and take<br />

withdrawals as needed. You can<br />

withdraw up to 10% of your<br />

remaining investments (purchase<br />

payments into the contract) on<br />

an annual basis, in increments<br />

of at least $500, without any<br />

withdrawal charges. If your<br />

contract is nonqualified, earnings<br />

will be considered withdrawn first<br />

for tax purposes. Keep in mind<br />

that each investment starts its<br />

own seven-year withdrawal<br />

charge schedule.<br />

Annual withdrawals over 10% of remaining investments in the contract may be subject to the<br />

following charges:<br />

“Age” of each investment (in contract years) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8+<br />

Charge per withdrawal 9% 9% 7% 7% 5% 5% 4% 0%<br />

Please note that after the first contract anniversary, charges are waived if the owner or annuitant is diagnosed<br />

with a defined medical condition that results in a life expectancy of 12 months or less. (Subject to state<br />

availability/variations.)<br />

Withdrawals and other distributions of taxable amounts will be subject to ordinary income tax. If taken<br />

before age 59½, a 10% federal tax penalty may apply. Withdrawals will reduce your account value and the<br />

value of certain optional benefits. Withdrawals cease at age 95 (age 90 in New York), and the contract must<br />

be converted to annuity payouts.<br />

5


Death Benefit<br />

Options<br />

<strong>Pacific</strong> Value can protect your beneficiaries with a guaranteed death benefit that may avoid the cost and delays of<br />

probate. There are no medical tests necessary to qualify for these death benefits. You have the flexibility to choose<br />

your beneficiaries and how they receive their payouts. Whatever you choose, you stay in control.<br />

Standard Death Benefit Payout<br />

If the owner is not an annuitant and the owner dies before taking income, the death benefit will equal the<br />

contract value. This is true for both standard and optional death benefit payouts. Otherwise, if the last<br />

annuitant or contract owner (who is the annuitant) dies, the death benefit is the greater of:<br />

1. The contract value.<br />

2. The total of all investments into the contract,<br />

less an adjustment for withdrawals. The<br />

adjustment may be more or less than the actual<br />

amount withdrawn.<br />

Predetermined Beneficiary Payout<br />

If you’re concerned about your beneficiary’s<br />

ability to manage the death benefit distribution,<br />

the predetermined beneficiary payout option<br />

can help. As the owner, you can choose how the<br />

death benefit will be paid out after you die, which<br />

ensures steady income for beneficiaries through<br />

payments over their life expectancies. Payments<br />

can be made monthly, quarterly, semiannually, or<br />

annually. Only the owner can change or cancel<br />

this option at any time.<br />

6


Optional Stepped-up Death Benefit<br />

At the time you buy your annuity, you may elect additional protection with the Stepped-up Death Benefit.<br />

The annual charge is 0.20% of each investment option’s assets.<br />

With step-ups, you can lock in market gains for your beneficiaries. In addition to the guaranteed death benefit<br />

protection, this option offers you the highest step-up, which is the highest contract value on any previous<br />

contract anniversary (prior to the annuitant’s 81 st birthday). Adjustments are made for additional investments<br />

and withdrawals since each anniversary. Withdrawals will reduce the death benefit proportionately.<br />

Ask your financial professional for more information about other optional death benefit guarantees.<br />

This hypothetical example does not reflect a specific investment. Example assumes no<br />

additional investments or withdrawals. Withdrawal charges, mortality and expense risk<br />

charges, administrative fees, and other contract charges were not factored in to this<br />

example. Values would be significantly lower if these fees and charges had been included. A<br />

step-up may not apply, depending on the performance of the contract over time. Although<br />

step-ups cease when the annuitant reaches age 81 , annual charges apply as long as the<br />

Stepped-up Death Benefit is in effect.<br />

The Potential Benefits<br />

of Asset Allocation<br />

Regardless of where you invest, it’s important to diversify among<br />

various asset classes with a wide range of characteristics to help reduce<br />

the risk of loss. Covering 16 asset classes, our broad selection of<br />

investment options may help you achieve your investment goals.<br />

Balance Risk and Reward<br />

Asset classes may perform differently in the same market conditions.<br />

You can potentially offset losses in one asset category with gains in<br />

another through diversification.<br />

• Stocks: Typically offer the highest growth potential with<br />

the highest risk.<br />

• Bonds: Generally have less growth but tend to be more<br />

stable than stocks.<br />

• Cash: Has low, stable returns—the biggest risk is keeping<br />

pace with inflation.<br />

Drive Portfolio Performance<br />

Your portfolio’s performance is based on how well you allocate<br />

among asset classes. Only 8.5% of the variability of your portfolio’s<br />

performance is based on when you get into the market and which<br />

asset classes you choose.<br />

When it comes to investment performance, choosing how to implement<br />

asset allocation—and sticking with it—can make a significant difference.<br />

Asset allocation is the process of distributing investments among<br />

various classes of investments (e.g., stocks and bonds). It does not<br />

guarantee future results, ensure a profit, or protect against loss.<br />

Inclusion in an asset allocation model does not indicate that an investment option is superior<br />

to any investment option not included in a model.<br />

The American Funds Growth-Income, American Funds Growth, and American Funds Asset<br />

Allocation portfolios of the <strong>Pacific</strong> Select Fund invest their assets in American Funds <strong>Insurance</strong><br />

Series Growth-Income Fund, Growth Fund, and Asset Allocation Fund, respectively (each a<br />

Master Fund). Capital Research and Management <strong>Company</strong> is the investment adviser to the<br />

Master Fund. <strong>Pacific</strong> <strong>Life</strong> Fund Advisors, LLC (PLFA), is the investment advisor to the <strong>Pacific</strong><br />

Select Fund. PLFA manages certain portfolios directly and also does business under the name<br />

“<strong>Pacific</strong> Asset Management” (PAM), which manages the Fund’s Money Market and High Yield<br />

Bond portfolios under the PAM name.<br />

Although some portfolios may have names or investment objectives that resemble retail<br />

mutual funds managed by the same money manager, these portfolios may not have the same<br />

underlying holdings or performance as the retail mutual funds. Investment results may be<br />

higher or lower.<br />

The Money Market portfolio is not FDIC insured or<br />

guaranteed; its net asset value is not constant and will<br />

change with the value of investments.<br />

High yield bonds have greater credit risk than higher quality bonds. Small-cap, mid-cap, and emerging-growth stocks may be riskier<br />

and more volatile than larger, more established stocks. International investing is subject to currency fluctuations and political changes.<br />

Floating rate loans involve risk of default on interest and principal payments or price changes due to changes in credit quality of the issuer.<br />

The value can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments.<br />

Real estate investments involve risks such as refinancing, economic impact on industry, changes in property values, dependency on<br />

management skills, and risks similar to small company investing. Sector and concentrated portfolios with fewer securities may be subject<br />

to greater price volatility. A fund-of-funds is subject to the risks associated with the underlying funds in which it invests. Exchange-traded<br />

funds (ETFs) are not actively managed and are subject to risks similar to stocks, including those related to short selling and margin<br />

maintenance. Short positions pose a risk because they lose value as a security’s price increases; therefore, the loss on a short sale is<br />

theoretically unlimited. Leverage can increase market exposure and magnify investment risk. The value of the variable investment<br />

options will fluctuate and, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Dollar cost averaging (DCA) can be<br />

a convenient way to continuously invest, regardless of changing prices. However, it does not ensure a profit or protect against loss in<br />

declining markets. You should consider your financial ability to continue to invest, even when prices are low. The stated minimum interest<br />

rate is credited on a declining balance as money is transferred out of the DCA Plus Fixed Option. The investment risk and guarantees on<br />

the DCA Plus Fixed Option are assumed by the issuing insurance company, subject to that company’s claims-paying ability.<br />

The<br />

of<br />

Diversification®<br />

Selecting the right mix of investment options can be easy with The Power of Diversification. You have the flexibility<br />

to choose among three asset allocation categories that best fit your investment goals. Money managers manage the<br />

underlying portfolios in which the investment options invest.<br />

1. Use the Portfolio Optimization Service<br />

The industry’s first strategic asset allocation service offered<br />

through variable annuities with a 15-year track record, Portfolio<br />

Optimization offers five different models to match your personal<br />

risk level. The models are constructed and reevaluated periodically<br />

using a rigorous, multistep process.<br />

2. Select an Asset Allocation Strategy<br />

Offered through respected and well-known money managers, these<br />

strategies present a range of asset allocation opportunities with a<br />

focus on global diversification.<br />

3. Create a Custom Model<br />

If you would like to be more actively involved, you can build and<br />

manage your own Custom Model with a mix of asset classes and<br />

managers, within certain guidelines.<br />

Only when you allocate appropriately among one of the three asset<br />

allocation categories above can you access The Power of Choice ® —our<br />

suite of optional benefits to help protect your investments or income for<br />

the future.<br />

10


The Portfolio Optimization<br />

Service<br />

When you enroll in Portfolio Optimization, a strategic asset allocation service, experienced professionals<br />

oversee the models. Ibbotson Associates ® , an independent asset allocation modeling firm, is retained to create<br />

and update the models periodically based on the Nobel Prize-winning modern portfolio theory. Your financial<br />

professional can help determine which model is suited for you, or simply choose one of the five models<br />

based on the investor profile you identify with most. When your contract is and remains 100% allocated to a<br />

Portfolio Optimization model (choose from models A through D), you have access to The Power of Choice.<br />

Optimization investment options and to reallocate your contract value, in accordance with the model you have<br />

selected, because the model may be updated from time to time. This update usually occurs in the month of May.<br />

While Portfolio Optimization does not guarantee future performance or protect against market loss, it does<br />

Create a<br />

Custom Model<br />

If you want more flexibility and are comfortable selecting your own investments, you can create a Custom Model.<br />

Using a blend of investment options, your model can be more heavily weighted in the asset class styles that best<br />

complement your investment strategy, while focusing less on those that may not.<br />

Any way you design it, you have the ability to allocate up to 75% of your contract value in equities with at least<br />

25% in fixed income and cash equivalents.<br />

The eligible investment options are divided among the following investment categories:<br />

A<br />

B<br />

C<br />

D<br />

Fixed-income Portfolios<br />

Domestic Equity Portfolios<br />

International Equity and Sector Portfolios<br />

Asset Allocation Strategies<br />

As long as your Custom Model remains allocated within the required<br />

categories based on the guidelines below, you have the ability to benefit<br />

from The Power of Choice options.<br />

Investment Categories<br />

A, B, C D<br />

Minimum Allocation 25% per category 0% per category<br />

Maximum Allocation 15% per investment option 25% per investment option<br />

Your financial professional can help you create a Custom Model based on your investment objectives and<br />

risk tolerance. Your model will be rebalanced automatically on a quarterly basis to keep your model in line<br />

with your elected allocations. As you move closer toward retirement or even if your individual circumstances<br />

change, you may make tax-free transfers among investment options to adjust your Custom Model. As a<br />

reminder, any transfers made need to comply with the investment guidelines.<br />

The<br />

of<br />

Choice ®<br />

Some investors are looking for<br />

investment growth; others need<br />

protected income. In either case,<br />

shielding investments from market<br />

downturns is critical. For that<br />

reason, <strong>Pacific</strong> <strong>Life</strong> offers<br />

The Power of Choice optional<br />

benefits for an additional cost.<br />

These options can allow you to<br />

have control of your investment<br />

with the assurance that, even in a<br />

down market, protection is<br />

in place.<br />

Core options are available that<br />

may provide a fundamental<br />

level of protection for your<br />

variable annuity, while our<br />

expanded options can pursue<br />

increased protection and lifetime<br />

income amounts.<br />

A Joint <strong>Life</strong> option also is<br />

available for an additional cost<br />

with some of the optional<br />

benefits. With this option, you<br />

and your spouse are eligible to<br />

receive income that will last both<br />

of your lifetimes. When elected,<br />

the couple must be husband<br />

and wife and be between the<br />

ages of 59½ and 85. Changes<br />

in marital status or the<br />

beneficiary may adversely<br />

affect the Joint <strong>Life</strong> option.<br />

Consult your financial<br />

professional before making<br />

changes to beneficiary<br />

provisions.<br />

Any optional benefit may<br />

be purchased at contract<br />

issue or within 60 days after<br />

contract issue or contract<br />

anniversary. Your contract<br />

must be and remain 100%<br />

allocated appropriately to one<br />

Our<br />

Suite of<br />

Optional<br />

Benefits<br />

of The Power of Diversification<br />

investment options (please see<br />

pages 10–15 for details).<br />

What if your needs change in the<br />

future? If your financial situation<br />

changes, depending on which<br />

optional benefit you choose, you<br />

may be able to exchange it for<br />

another optional benefit. You will<br />

be subject to the price in effect<br />

at the time the new optional<br />

benefit is elected.<br />

Based on your specific investment<br />

objective, you and your financial<br />

professional can determine if one<br />

of The Power of Choice options<br />

is right for you. He or she also<br />

can provide you with more<br />

details on the specific optional<br />

benefits offered by <strong>Pacific</strong> <strong>Life</strong>.<br />

See the prospectus for<br />

more details. All options<br />

are subject to availability<br />

(including state availability).<br />
