* There was an administrative error on the part of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) related to the effective date on the<br />

annuity product prospectus. <strong>RiverSource</strong> Life Insurance Company filed a prospectus with the SEC for these annuities with an effective<br />

date of April 29, 2013. Due to the SEC’s error, the prospectus was not effective until April 30th. Annuities purchased on April 29, 2013<br />

had an extended free look period, but there are no other impacts to the clients’ contracts.<br />

RAVA 5 Living Benefits<br />

<strong>Product</strong> Features<br />

SecureSource 3®<br />

guaranteed lifetime<br />

withdrawal benefit 1, 2<br />

Not available in NY<br />

Feature Description<br />

The optional SecureSource 3 benefit guarantees growth of income through Annual Credits and<br />

lifetime income as early as age 50. Clients have the opportunity to increase future income while they<br />

accumulate through Step Ups and Annual Credits. Once clients begin taking withdrawals, they will have<br />

an opportunity for an income bonus each year (if eligible).<br />

Each year your Benefit Base can increase by the greater of:<br />

• Locked-in Investment Gains (eligible for life): the amount your clients’ contract value (after<br />

deduction for any rider fees) increases above the Benefit Base on their contract anniversary.<br />

OR<br />

• Annual Credits (when eligible through age 95): 6% credit is calculated on principal and any lockedin<br />

gains. Annual Credits are available for a minimum of 10 years in any year clients do not take a<br />

withdrawal. Additionally, any time they lock in investment gains, they will start a new 10-year credit<br />

period.<br />

Lifetime income with opportunities for an income bonus<br />

• The percentage clients will receive is initially determined by how old they are when they take their<br />

first withdrawal and can increase as they age. For the joint life benefit, the age of the younger<br />

spouse is used.<br />

• 50-58: 3% (+0.5% with income bonus)<br />

• 59-64: 4% (+0.5% with income bonus)<br />

• 65-79: 5% (+0.5% with income bonus)<br />

• 80+ : 6% (+0.5% with income bonus)<br />

• For the joint life benefit, the Minimum Lifetime Payment Percentages are 0.25% lower for each age<br />

band.<br />

• Clients can increase their minimum LPP if they receive a Benefit Base Step Up after crossing an Age<br />

Band.<br />

• RMD-“friendly” — RMD withdrawals that exceed the maximum amount allowed by the rider will not<br />

be considered an excess withdrawal.<br />

• Income bonus feature: The client’s Minimum Lifetime Payment Percentage (LPP) is set according to<br />

their age when they take their first withdrawal (based on younger spouse for joint life benefit). Clients<br />

are eligible for a 0.5% income bonus (e.g. 5% will become 5.5%) for a given contract year. Each<br />

contract year on the day of the client’s first withdrawal the contract value is compared to another<br />

value called the Withdrawal Adjustment Base*, which is equal to the client’s purchase payments,<br />

increased for any contract anniversary gains or Annual Credits, and decreased proportionately for<br />

withdrawals. This comparison results in the Benefit Determining Percentage, which determines<br />

whether the client will be eligible for an income bonus for that contract year:<br />

• If a client’s Benefit Determining Percentage is less than 20%, clients will receive a 0.5% income<br />

bonus for that contract year.<br />

• If a client’s Benefit Determining Percentage is 20% or more, clients will receive the minimum<br />

LPP for that contract year. Market volatility, a prolonged flat, low or down market, Annual Credits,<br />

and the deduction of fees all impact whether clients are eligible for the income bonus, however<br />

withdrawals do not.<br />

Additional Details:<br />

• The Portfolio Stabilizer funds are required. The funds are designed to help smooth out the ups and<br />

downs in your clients’ annuity investment by managing their exposure to equity and fixed income<br />

markets.<br />

• Issue Ages: 0–85 for owner and joint covered spouse (annuitant if non-natural owner). Only available<br />

at contract issue.<br />

• Add-on payments: payments during the first 180 days after issue are eligible for an Annual Credit<br />

on the first anniversary. Premiums paid before the anniversary increase both the contract value and<br />

the Benefit Base immediately and therefore increase the fee on the upcoming anniversary (not prorated).<br />

After the first 180 days, add-on payments must be in the contract for a full year before they<br />

are eligible for an Annual Credit.<br />

• Spousal continuation: for single life benefit, the rider terminates; for joint life benefit, the benefit<br />

continues.<br />

• Beneficiaries may elect the Principal Back Guarantee and receive a level income stream over time<br />

until principal has been returned instead of a lump sum death benefit.<br />

• Fees: Single: 1.20%, Joint: 1.30%. Max. fee: 2.25%. Fees are based on the greater of the contract<br />

anniversary value or the Benefit Base and deducted on the contract anniversary. Fee is subject to<br />

increase. If there is a fee increase that results in a greater than 0.25 percentage point increase in<br />

the client’s current fee, they have the right to cancel the rider. Clients may opt out of a fee increase<br />

but will forfeit future Step Ups (including spousal continuation Step Ups), Annual Credits, increases<br />

to the ALP and the ability to make additional purchase payments.<br />

SecureSource 3 NY®<br />

guaranteed lifetime<br />

withdrawal benefit<br />

Only available in NY<br />

Feature Description<br />

The optional SecureSource 3 NY benefit guarantees growth of income through Annual Credits and<br />

lifetime income as early as age 50. Clients have the opportunity to increase future income while they<br />

accumulate through Step Ups and Annual Credits.<br />

Each year your Benefit Base can increase by the greater of:<br />

• Locked-in Investment Gains (eligible for life): the amount your clients’ contract value (after<br />

deduction for any rider fees) increases above the Benefit Base on their contract anniversary.<br />

OR<br />

• Annual Credits (when eligible through age 95): 6% credit is calculated on principal and any lockedin<br />

gains. Annual Credits are available for a minimum of 10 years in any year clients do not take a<br />

withdrawal. Additionally, any time they lock in investment gains, they will start a new 10-year credit<br />

period. For clients age 55 or younger at issue, they will receive a 5.9% credit in year 10 of the credit<br />

schedule (if eligible).<br />

Lifetime income<br />

• The percentage clients will receive is initially determined by how old they are when they take their<br />

first withdrawal and can increase as they age. For the joint life benefit, the age of the younger<br />

spouse is used.<br />

• 50-58: 3%<br />

• 59-64: 4%<br />

• 65-79: 5%<br />

• 80+ : 6%<br />

• For the joint life benefit, the Lifetime Payment Percentages are 0.5% lower for each age band.<br />

• Clients can increase their LPP if they receive a Benefit Base Step Up after crossing an Age Band.<br />

• RMD-“friendly” — RMD withdrawals that exceed the maximum amount allowed by the rider will not<br />

be considered an excess withdrawal.<br />

Additional Details:<br />

• The Portfolio Stabilizer funds are required. The funds are designed to help smooth out the ups and<br />

downs in your clients’ annuity investment by managing their exposure to equity and fixed income<br />

markets.<br />

• Issue Ages: 0–85 for owner and joint covered spouse (annuitant if non-natural owner). Only available<br />

at contract issue.<br />

• Add-on payments: Payments during the first 180 days after issue are eligible for an Annual Credit<br />

on the first anniversary. Premiums paid before the anniversary increase both the contract value and<br />

the Benefit Base immediately and therefore increase the fee on the upcoming anniversary (not prorated).<br />

After the first 180 days, add-on payments must be in the contract for a full year before they<br />

are eligible for an Annual Credit.<br />

• Spousal continuation: for single life benefit, the rider terminates; for joint life benefit, the benefit continues.<br />

• Beneficiaries may elect the Principal Back Guarantee and receive a level income stream over time<br />

until principal has been returned instead of a lump sum death benefit.<br />

• Fees: Single and joint life benefit: 1.10%. Max. fee: 2.25%. Fees are based on the greater of the<br />

contract anniversary value or the Benefit Base and deducted on the contract anniversary. Fee is<br />

subject to increase. If there is a fee increase that results in a greater than 0.25 percentage point<br />

increase in the client’s current fee, they have the right to cancel the rider. Clients may opt out of<br />

a fee increase but will forfeit future Step Ups (including spousal continuation Step Ups), Annual<br />

Credits, increases to the ALP and the ability to make additional purchase payments.<br />

Not available in NY<br />

Feature Description<br />

1 <br />

Annuitant is measuring/triggering life for non-natural<br />

annuity ownership.<br />

All riders must be added at time of purchase.<br />

The optional SecureSource Stages 2 benefit guarantees growth of income through Annual Credits and<br />

lifetime income as early as age 50. Clients have the opportunity to increase future income while they<br />

accumulate through Step Ups (after deduction for any rider fees) and Annual Credits. Once they take a<br />

withdrawal, clients can increase their income with an income bonus — available each contract year — or if<br />

they lock in a gain on their Benefit Base after they cross an Age Band threshold.<br />

Highlights of key features<br />

• Guaranteed growth through Annual Credits: Available for the first 10 years or until first withdrawal —<br />

Income benefit is guaranteed to increase each year based on greater of Annual Credit or locked-in gains.<br />

Credit = 8% on the first anniversary and 6% thereafter<br />

• Guaranteed lifetime income available to clients as young as age 50; Lifetime Payment Percentages are<br />

tiered as follows*:<br />

• 50-58: 3% (+1% with income bonus)<br />

• 59-64: 4% (+1% with income bonus)<br />

• 65-79: 5% (+1% with income bonus)<br />

• 80+ : 6% (+1% with income bonus)<br />

• 6% income for life at 65 with the income bonus<br />

• Ability to automatically lock in gains every year for the life of contract<br />

• RMD-“friendly” — RMD withdrawals that exceed the maximum percent allowed by the rider will not be<br />

considered an excess withdrawal<br />

Additional Details:<br />

• Enrollment in the Portfolio Navigator program required. The availability of funds is based on whether the<br />

client has taken a withdrawal from the contract as follows:<br />

•At contract issue and prior to the first withdrawal, clients may elect and move among all five funds.<br />

•After their first withdrawal, clients can elect and move among the Moderate, Moderately Conservative<br />

and Conservative funds without affecting their guarantees. If clients are in the Moderately Aggressive or<br />

Aggressive fund when they take a withdrawal, they will automatically be moved to the Moderate fund.<br />

• Issue Ages: 0–85 for owner and joint covered spouse (annuitant if non-natural owner).<br />

• Spousal continuation: for single life benefit, the rider terminates; for joint life benefit, the benefit continues.<br />

• Add-on payments: payments during the first 180 days after issue are eligible for an Annual Credit on the<br />

first anniversary. Premiums paid before the anniversary increase both the contract value and the Benefit<br />

Base immediately and therefore increase the fee on the upcoming anniversary (not pro-rated). After the<br />

first 180 days, add-on payments must be in the contract for a full year before they are eligible for an<br />

Annual Credit.<br />

• income bonus feature: The client’s minimum Lifetime Payment Percentage (LPP) is set according to<br />

their age when they take their first withdrawal (based on younger spouse for joint life benefit). Clients<br />

are eligible for a 1% income bonus (e.g. 5% will become 6%) for a given contract year. Each contract<br />

year on the day of the client’s first withdrawal the contract value is compared to another value called<br />

the Withdrawal Adjustment Base**, which is equal to the client’s purchase payments, increased for<br />

any contract anniversary gains or Annual Credits, and decreased proportionately for withdrawals. This<br />

comparison results in the Benefit Determining Percentage, which determines whether the client will be<br />

eligible for an income bonus for that contract year:<br />

− If a client’s Benefit Determining Percentage is less than 20%, clients will receive a 1% income bonus<br />

for that contract year.<br />

− If a client’s Benefit Determining Percentage is 20% or more, clients will receive the minimum LPP for that<br />

contract year. Market volatility, a prolonged flat, low or down market, Annual Credits, and the deduction<br />

of fees all impact whether clients are eligible for the income bonus, however withdrawals do not.<br />

• Clients who take withdrawals before the first contract anniversary (including withdrawals clients are<br />

required to take as RMDs under federal tax law starting at age 70½) will not be eligible for the income<br />

bonus for the life of the contract. They will continue to be eligible for Step Ups, and can increase their<br />

minimum LPP if they receive a Benefit Base Step Up after crossing an Age Band. To take advantage of<br />

the income bonus feature, we recommend clients use another source for any income needs they may<br />

have during the first year of their contract.<br />

• Beneficiaries may elect the Principal Back Guarantee (PBG) and receive a level income stream over time<br />

until principal has been returned instead of a lump sum death benefit.<br />

Fees<br />

• For contracts issued 2/27/12 - 4/29/12: 1.50% Single Life and 1.75% Joint Life<br />

• For contracts issued 11/14/11 - 2/26/12: 1.10% Single Life and 1.35% Joint Life<br />

• For contracts issued 7/19/10 - 11/13/11: 0.95% Single Life and 1.15% Joint Life<br />

• Max fee - Single 1.75%; Joint: 2.25%<br />

Fees are based on the greater of the contract anniversary value or the Benefit Base and deducted on the<br />

contract anniversary. In the state of WA, fixed account balances are excluded. Fee is subject to increase. If<br />

there is a fee increase that results in a greater than 0.25 percentage point increase in the client’s current<br />

fee, they have the right to cancel the rider. The client may not cancel the rider if their fee increase is a result<br />

of having moved to a more aggressive Portfolio Navigator fund. Clients may opt out of a fee increase but will<br />

forfeit future Step Ups (including spousal continuation Step Ups), Annual Credits, increases to the ALP,<br />

the ability to make additional purchase payments, and the ability to change to a more aggressive<br />

investment option.<br />

ability to move to a higher lifetime payment percentage and the ability to change to a more aggressive<br />

fund of funds. If there is a fee increase that results in the client’s current fee increasing by more than<br />

0.25 percentage points, the client may choose to terminate the rider. We reserve the right to increase the<br />

fee if the client moves to a more aggressive investment option.<br />

SecureSource® Flex<br />

guaranteed lifetime<br />

withdrawal benefit 1, 2<br />

No longer sold.<br />

Feature Description<br />

The SecureSource Flex rider is an optional rider that provides a lifetime income guarantee after a<br />

3-year waiting period and beginning as early as the contract anniversary after age 65 (age 67 for joint<br />

in NY) (based on younger spouse’s age with the joint life benefit). It also provides a principal back<br />

guarantee through withdrawals over time, also available after the 3-year waiting period, for clients who<br />

need income before they are eligible for the lifetime guarantee. Up to 6% annual income is available<br />

with either guarantee. The SecureSource Flex benefit includes an annual, automatic Step Up feature to<br />

capture gains on the contract anniversary and potentially increase the amount of guaranteed income<br />

available.<br />

Additional Details:<br />

• Enrollment in the Portfolio Navigator program required. The availability of funds is based on whether<br />

the client has taken a withdrawal from the contract as follows:<br />

• At contract issue and prior to the first withdrawal, clients may elect and move among all five<br />

funds.<br />

• After their first withdrawal, clients can elect and move among the Moderate, Moderately<br />

Conservative and Conservative funds without affecting their guarantees. If clients are in the<br />

Moderately Aggressive or Aggressive fund when they take a withdrawal, their annuity assets will<br />

be automatically moved to the Moderate fund of funds. Clients who have taken a withdrawal and<br />

later elect the Moderately Aggressive or Aggressive fund will have their guaranteed benefit values<br />

reset based on the lesser of their contract value or their guarantees at that time.<br />

• Issue Ages: 0–80 for owner (annuitant if non-natural owner) and joint covered spouse.<br />

• Spousal continuation: single life benefit - rider terminates; joint life benefit - benefit continues.<br />

• Income adjustment feature: when the contract is performing well, clients will be eligible for up to<br />

6% annual income. In cases when the client’s contract value is 20% or more below the Withdrawal<br />

Adjustment Base* the client’s basic benefit and annual lifetime payment percentage will be adjusted<br />

to 5%. Market volatility, a prolonged flat or down market, the deduction of fees, or a combination<br />

of these factors could trigger this adjustment. However, taking withdrawals after the 3-year waiting<br />

period (up to the maximum allowed under the rider) will not cause the income percentage to be<br />

adjusted to 5%. The client brochure and product prospectus provide more information on this income<br />

adjustment feature.<br />

• Any withdrawals during the first three years will reset all benefits to zero until the end of the waiting<br />

period, including withdrawals clients are required to take as RMDs under federal tax law starting at<br />

age 70½. The guarantees will then be reestablished on the third contract anniversary to the contract<br />

value at that time. We recommend clients use another source for any income needs they may have<br />

during the first three years of their contract.<br />

• Beneficiaries may elect to take the Remaining Benefit Amount (RBA) through a level income stream<br />

over time instead of a lump sum death benefit.<br />

• Not available on RAVA 4 Access.<br />

• Fees: Single – 0.95%, Joint – 1.10%. Fees are based on the greater of the Remaining Benefit<br />

Amount or contract anniversary value and deducted on the contract anniversary. In the state of<br />

WA, fixed account balances are excluded. Fee is subject to increase. If there is a fee increase that<br />

results in a greater than 0.25 percentage point increase in the client’s current fee, they have the<br />

right to cancel the rider. Note: The client may not cancel the rider if their fee increase is a result of<br />

having moved to a more aggressive Portfolio Navigator fund. Clients may opt out of a fee increase<br />

but will forfeit future Step Ups (including spousal continuation Step Ups), Annual Credits, increases<br />

to the ALP, the ability to make additional purchase payments, and the ability to change to a more<br />

aggressive investment option.<br />

Feature Description<br />

The SecureSource rider is an optional rider that guarantees the return of purchase payments plus<br />

purchase payment credits (PPCs) through withdrawals over time, no matter how the market performs.<br />

Clients can withdraw up to 7% of the guaranteed amount every contract year until the guarantee is<br />

depleted or they can withdraw 6% (5.5% for joint in NY) each year — guaranteed for life — beginning on<br />

the contract anniversary after the single, covered person (oldest owner or for non-natural owners, oldest<br />

annuitant) turns age 65 (age 68 in NY). In addition to guaranteeing purchase payments and PPCs, the<br />

SecureSource benefit also locks in contract gains on every contract anniversary (before deduction for<br />

any rider fees). This “Step Up” of the guarantee is automatic unless there has been an increase in the<br />

rider fee; in that case existing clients are given the option to elect to step up their guarantee and incur<br />

the higher fee.<br />

SecureSource offers a choice between a single life benefit or a joint life benefit for two spouses. For the<br />

joint life benefit, the 6% lifetime guarantee is established on the contract anniversary following the 65th<br />

birthday of the younger spouse.<br />

Additional details:<br />

• Enrollment in the Portfolio Navigator program required<br />

• The availability of funds is based on whether the client has taken a withdrawal from the contract as<br />

follows:<br />

• At contract issue and prior to the first withdrawal, clients may elect and move between all five<br />

funds.<br />

• After their first withdrawal, clients can elect and move between the Moderate, Moderately<br />

Conservative and Conservative funds without affecting their guarantees. If clients are in the<br />

Moderately Aggressive or Aggressive fund when they take a withdrawal, their annuity assets will be<br />

automatically moved to the Moderate fund. Clients who have taken a withdrawal and later elect the<br />

Moderately Aggressive or Aggressive fund will have their guaranteed benefit values reset based on<br />

the lesser of their contract value or their guarantees at that time.<br />

• Issue ages: 0–80 for owner (annuitant if non-natural owner) and joint covered spouse.<br />

• Fee: For sales prior to Jan. 26, 2009: 0.65% for the single life benefit or 0.85% for the joint life<br />

benefit. For sales on or after Jan. 26, 2009: 0.90% for the single life benefit or 1.15% for the joint life<br />

benefit. Fees are based on the greater of the remaining benefit amount or contract anniversary value<br />

and deducted on the contract anniversary. In the state of WA, fixed account balances are excluded.<br />

Fee is subject to increase. If fees are increased on existing contracts, clients who elect a step up or<br />

change model portfolios will incur the higher fee.<br />

• Benefit may vary by state; check the Variable Annuities section under <strong>Product</strong> Solutions on the<br />

AdvisorCompass portal for complete details.<br />

• For non-natural annuity ownership, the annuitant is measuring/triggering life.<br />

This rider guaranteed a 7% return of principal guarantee at any age and a 6% lifetime income<br />

guarantee starting on the contract anniversary after age 65 (age 68 in NY).<br />

Fee: 0.65% annual charge on the greater of the remaining benefit amount or contract value, deducted<br />

adjusted partial surrenders reduce the death benefit proportionately (i.e., if the withdrawal was 5% of the contract value, the death<br />

benefit will be reduced 5%.)<br />

Legal age to 90 at nearest birthday.<br />

$2,000, no add-ons<br />

$999,999 through age 90. Note: Maximum applies in total for all annuities purchased by the same<br />

individual or on the life of same annuitant. Higher limits available with corporate office approval.<br />

The Index 500 provides a guaranteed return of a 3% annual effective return applied to 90% of the<br />

client’s single premium. At minimum, this guarantee is 110.69% of the original single premium at the<br />

end of the term, assuming no surrenders have been made.<br />

Seven years<br />

Interest earnings for the Index 500 are linked to changes in the S&P 500 (excluding dividends)<br />

through a participation rate (see the weekly Price Card for the current participation rate). The<br />

participation rate is the percentage of the S&P 500 increase credited to the contract if the S&P 500<br />

increases in value over the term. The full participation rate applies in the following circumstances:<br />

contracts held for the full 7-year term, annuitization, death and qualifying nursing home confinement.<br />

The midterm surrender participation rate applies to midterm partial or full surrenders.<br />

Withdrawals made during the term will participate in a portion of any increase in the S&P 500 since<br />

the beginning of the term, through a reduced midterm surrender participation rate. Note: Because<br />

of the reduced midterm surrender participation rate, it is not recommended that the Index 500 be<br />

purchased to provide systematic income through partial withdrawals during the 7-year term.<br />

Interest credited to the single premium from the contract date to the date of the start of the first<br />

term. Interim interest is also credited from the end of each term to the start date of the following<br />

term. The initial interim interest rate is listed on the contract data page. This rate may change from<br />

time to time. However, interim interest will accrue at an annual effective rate of not less than 3%.<br />

This feature safeguards the interest earnings in the annuity by providing a secondary lock or floor<br />

under the following conditions. If, from the start of a term:<br />

• The S&P 500 increases by at least a threshold percentage and,<br />

• Then declines to less than the threshold percentage at the end of the annuity’s term,<br />

• Interest earnings for the term will be calculated based on the earnings protection threshold<br />

percentage (if the contract is held to the end of the term).<br />

Of course, if the S&P 500 ends the 7-year term (using the 26-week averaging of the S&P 500 for<br />

the end of the term) at a point higher than the secondary lock amount, the interest earnings will be<br />

calculated based on the actual increase of the S&P 500.<br />

Level 7% for withdrawals in excess of the 10% free withdrawal amount during any year for the<br />

7-year term. Circumstances that allow for surrender-charge-free access and utilization of the full<br />

participation rate:<br />

• Settlement payments under an annuity payment plan (annuitization).<br />

• Nursing home confinement, if the owner is less than age 76 when the contract is issued and the<br />

owner (or owner’s spouse) is in a nursing home for 90 days (not available in Pennsylvania).<br />

• Full or partial surrenders made during the 15-day window period following the end of the term.<br />

Amounts payable as death benefits.<br />

Note: There are no surrender charges assessed for the IRS-required minimum distributions at or<br />

after age 70½. However, these withdrawals will participate in a portion of any increases of the S&P<br />

500 through the reduced midterm surrender participation rate, not the full participation rate.<br />

Refer to the Surrender Charge Waivers at-a-Glance section.<br />

Up to 10% of the value at the beginning of any contract year may be surrendered without charge,<br />

at any time during that year.<br />

or spousal continuation.<br />

Applies to Fund A and Fund B contracts issued in 1971 and later. Contracts issued prior to 1971 had the following death benefit regardless of age or issue state:<br />

Greater of: 1) contract value, 2) purchase payments less any partial surrenders. (In New Jersey the death benefit equals the contract value regardless of age.)<br />

5<br />

For RAVA 5 series standard death benefits: when withdrawals are taken, each component of the death benefit is reduced by the same percentage that the contract value was<br />

reduced (or, on a “pro-rata” basis).<br />

6<br />

For earlier versions of RAVA sold before RAVA 5, when the contract value is higher than the minimum death benefit amount, adjusted partial surrenders reduce the death<br />

benefit dollar-for-dollar (i.e., $1 withdrawn reduces the death benefit by $1). When the contract value is below the minimum death benefit amount, adjusted partial surrenders<br />

reduce the death benefit proportionately (i.e., if the withdrawal was 5% of the contract value, the death benefit will be reduced 5%.)<br />

November 2013 changes to certain existing variable annuities<br />

What are the changes?<br />

1. Portfolio Stabilizer funds will now be available. Beginning Nov. 18, 2013, the Portfolio Stabilizer funds are available to<br />

all existing variable annuity contracts with a living benefit rider (in-force withdrawal benefit riders and accumulation<br />

benefit riders).<br />

• Existing clients with a living benefit who are currently invested in a Portfolio Navigator fund can either stay invested in<br />

Portfolio Navigator or transfer to a Portfolio Stabilizer fund.<br />

• Unlike new sales of variable annuities with a living benefit, clients with older versions of the riders can be invested in only<br />

one fund at a time (either a Portfolio Navigator fund or a Portfolio Stabilizer fund) per the provisions of their rider.<br />

• Clients who decide to transfer to a Portfolio Stabilizer fund will no longer have access to the Portfolio Navigator funds.<br />

2. Fee changes for certain older riders.<br />

Withdrawal Benefit riders<br />

Effective Dec. 18, 2013, we implemented rider fee increases for a small portion of older contracts with withdrawal benefit<br />

riders. The fee increase is not automatic – impacted clients will have choices to avoid a higher fee. As a result of the fee<br />

increase, the annual Step up feature (which locks in contract gains to the benefit) will change from “automatic” to<br />

“elective” for impacted clients.<br />

• The rider fee increase impacts clients who selected:<br />

o Withdrawal Benefit, Guarantor Withdrawal Benefit for Life® (GWB for Life®), SecureSource® riders (sold approximately<br />

between November 2004 and September 2009), AND who are<br />

o Invested in the Portfolio Navigator “Aggressive” fund or “Moderately Aggressive” fund<br />

The fee increase is not automatic. Clients will only incur a fee increase if they:<br />

A. Elect to “lock in” contract gains to their rider’s benefit values (i.e., elect a “Step up”) to increase their guaranteed<br />

income (when a Step up is available).<br />

• Applies only to clients invested in the Portfolio Navigator “Aggressive” or “Moderately Aggressive” funds<br />

• Clients will revert back to automatic Step ups if/when they either incur a fee increase or move to a different fund<br />

that does not have an increased rider fee.<br />

B. Move to a more aggressive Portfolio Navigator fund that has a higher corresponding rider fee (i.e., move “up” to the<br />

Moderately Aggressive or Aggressive fund).<br />

• Applies to clients invested in any Portfolio Navigator fund in the Withdrawal Benefit, Guarantor Withdrawal Benefit for<br />

Life® or original SecureSource® riders.<br />

• Examples: transferring from the “Moderately Aggressive” fund to the “Aggressive” fund; transferring from the<br />

“Moderate” fund to the “Moderately Aggressive” fund, etc.<br />

Accumulation Benefit riders<br />

Clients with an accumulation benefit rider (Accumulation Benefit or Accumulation Protector Benefit®) have been subject to a<br />

potential rider fee increase to 1.75% since Oct. 20, 2012 if they choose the elective 100% Step up. With the addition of<br />

the Portfolio Stabilizer funds as alternative investment options (effective Nov. 18, 2013) clients who choose the elective<br />

100% Step up may incur a fee increase or decrease depending on the fund they are invested in at the time of the Step up<br />

(i.e., if the fund they are invested at the time of the Step up has a different fee than what they are currently paying, their<br />

fee will change.)<br />

Fees for 100% elective Step Up are:<br />

• For clients in Portfolio Navigator at the time of the 100% elective Step Up:<br />

– 10/20/12 - 10/17/14: fee = 1.75%<br />

– On or after 10/18/14: fee = 1.60%<br />

• For clients in Portfolio Stabilizer at the time of the 100% elective Step Up:<br />

– 11/18/13 - 10/17/14: fee = 1.30%<br />

– On or after 10/18/14: fee = 1.00%<br />

Simply moving from one fund to another will not result in a fee change. Also, the automatic 80% or 90% Step up will not<br />

result in a fee change.<br />

For advisor use only. Not approved for use with the public. 49


November 2013 changes to certain existing variable annuities (continued)<br />

Summary of fee changes that were announced November 2013 for clients that are in Portfolio Navigator: Aggressive or Moderately<br />

Surrender Charge Waivers<br />

Since 1981 most annuities have surrender charges if some or all of the value is withdrawn. In some situations these charges are<br />

waived, and those waivers vary by product and occasionally by state of issue.<br />

Waivers that are common to all our products include waiver upon annuitization (settlement) of the contract, when a death claim is<br />

paid under the contract, and for amounts refunded because of a required minimum distribution (RMD) from a tax-qualified or IRA<br />

annuity. The chart below shows the availability of other waivers:<br />
