V
VARIABLE ANNUITY
An annuity contract in which earnings accumulate based on the performance of the
selected investment sub-accounts within the contract. The contract owner decides how the annuity
cash value is allocated amongst a selection of investment options and can transfer funds among portfolios tax-free as objectives and market
conditions change. Within a variable annuity, the principal and rate of return
are not guaranteed. While a variable annuity has the potential for a high rate
of return, it is also possible to lose one's principal.
