Prior to making any investment decisions, you should carefully review your product prospectus and all applicable supplements. In addition, you should review the prospectuses and applicable supplements for the underlying portfolios that we make available as investment options under the policies. The prospectuses describe the investment objectives, policies and restrictions of, and the risks relating to, investment in the portfolios. In the case of any of the portfolios that are operated as feeder funds, you should also review the prospectus for the corresponding master fund. If you need to obtain additional copies of any of these documents, please contact your representative or contact our Service Office at the address or telephone number on the back page of your product prospectus.
