| APPENDIX: INVESTMENT OPTIONS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT |
A-1
|
||||
| Accumulation Phase | The period beginning on the Contract Date and ending on the Annuity Date. | ||||
| Adjusted Index Return | The net change percentage in the Index Value of an Index from the start of an Interest Term to the end of the Interest Term, after any applicable adjustment for the Cap, Participation Rate, the Trigger Rate or Dual Trigger Rate, as applicable, and either the Buffer or Buffer Plus Rate. | ||||
| Allocation Date | The date when the Purchase Payment is allocated to the Fixed Account and/or one or more of the Indexed Accounts for the initial Interest Term. The Allocation Date will be the next 7th or 21st calendar day of a month, whichever occurs first, after the Contract Date. If this date is not a Business Day, the allocation will occur on the next Business Day. | ||||
| Annuity Date | The date the Income Phase begins. | ||||
| Base Value | For each Indexed Account in which you invest, your Base Value is an amount used to calculate (i) your Indexed Account Value on the first Business Day of the Interest Term; (ii) your Interim Value on each other Business Day of the Interest Term (except the last Business Day); and (iii) your Indexed Interest on the last Business Day of the Interest Term. Your Base Value is not a cash value under the Contract. | ||||
| Beneficiary | The person or entity designated by the Owner to receive any Contract benefits upon the Owner's death. | ||||
| Buffer | An element of a type of Crediting Method. The Buffer represents the maximum negative Index Return that will not result in a negative Adjusted Index Return for a given Interest Term. It provides limited protection against negative Indexed Interest. The Buffer does not protect you from an Indexed Account Charge. | ||||
| Buffer Plus Rate | An element of a type of Crediting Method. The Buffer Plus Rate represents the percentage added to the Index Return to offset any negative Index Return, including potentially providing a positive Adjusted Index Return when the Index Return is negative for a given Interest Term. It also represents the minimum positive Adjusted Index Return if the Index Return is positive or zero. It provides limited protection against negative Indexed Interest. | ||||
| Business Day | Any day that the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open for regular trading. A Business Day ends at the same time that regular trading on the NYSE closes (typically 4:00 PM Eastern Time). | ||||
| Cap | An element of a type of Crediting Method. The Cap represents the maximum Adjusted Index Return that can be credited under an Indexed Account for an Interest Term. It limits the potential positive Indexed Interest that may be credited during an Interest Term. For any Indexed Account with both a Cap and a Participation Rate, the Adjusted Index Return will be limited by the Cap. | ||||
| Cash Surrender Value | The amount that you will receive if you surrender your Contract (i.e., take a full withdrawal) during the Accumulation Phase. The Cash Surrender Value equals your Contract Value minus any surrender charge and any applicable taxes payable by us and not previously deducted. | ||||
| Contract | Symetra Trek® Plus Contract, which is a single premium deferred index-linked annuity contract between Symetra Life and you, as the Owner. | ||||
| Contract Date | The first Business Day that the Contract is in force and the date from which we measure the Contract anniversaries and Contract Years. | ||||
| Contract Value | The total amount attributable to your Contract during the Accumulation Phase at any given time. Prior to the Allocation Date, your Contract Value is the amount attributable to your Contract held in the Fixed Holding Account. After the Allocation Date, your Contract Value is the sum of your Indexed Account Values and your Fixed Account Value at any given time. Your Contract Value may not necessarily equal your Cash Surrender Value. | ||||
| Contract Year | The 12-month period starting on the Contract Date and each anniversary of your Contract Date while the Contract remains in force. | ||||
| Crediting Method | The Crediting Methods are used to calculate the Indexed Interest for an Indexed Account. The Crediting Methods are also taken into account when calculating Interim Values. | ||||
| Dual Trigger Rate |
An element of a type of Crediting Method. The rate of Indexed Interest that is credited under an Indexed Account at the end of an Interest Term if the Index Return is positive, zero, or negative within the Buffer. If the Index Return exceeds the Dual Trigger Rate percentage, your Adjusted Index Return will equal the lower Dual Trigger Rate percentage. The Dual Trigger Rate limits the potential positive Indexed Interest that may be credited for a given Interest Term. |
||||
| Fixed Account | The investment option under the Contract that provides for guaranteed interest, and is subject to a guaranteed minimum interest rate. The Fixed Account is part of the General Account. | ||||
| Fixed Account Value | The amount of your Contract Value allocated to the Fixed Account at any given time. | ||||
| Fixed Holding Account | The account in which your Purchase Payment is held until the Allocation Date. The Fixed Holding Account provides for guaranteed interest, subject to a guaranteed minimum interest rate. The Fixed Holding Account is part of the General Account. | ||||
| General Account | The account that holds all of Symetra Life's assets, including all assets held in the Fixed Holding Account, the Fixed Account, and Separate Account RINA. The General Account does not include those assets held in Separate Account RITX or other Symetra Life separate accounts. | ||||
| Home Office |
Our address where communications must be sent. |
||||
| Income Phase | The period beginning on the Annuity Date during which we make annuity payments to the Payee(s). | ||||
| Index | The market index used to determine the Index Return for an Indexed Account. Each Index is comprised of or defined by certain securities or by a combination of certain securities and other instruments. | ||||
| Index Return | The net change percentage in the Index Value of an Index from the start of an Interest Term to the end of the Interest Term, before any applicable adjustment for the Cap, Participation Rate, Trigger Rate and Dual Trigger Rate, as applicable, and either the Buffer or Buffer Plus Rate. | ||||
| Index Value | The closing value of the Index on any Business Day. If an Index Value is not published for a Business Day, we will use the closing Index Value from the next Business Day. | ||||
| Indexed Account Charge |
For certain Indexed Accounts, the Indexed Account Charge, is an amount deducted from the Indexed Account Value. The amount of the charge is 1% for one-year interest terms, 2% for two-year interest terms and 6% for six-year Interest Terms. |
||||
| Indexed Account Value |
During an Interest Term, you have an Indexed Account Value for each Indexed Account in which you invest. On the first Business Day of an Interest Term, your Indexed Account Value equals your Base Value. Except when the Return Lock has been exercised during the Interest Term, on each other Business Day (except the last Business Day), your Indexed Account Value equals your Interim Value minus any Indexed Account Charge. On the last Business Day, your Indexed Account Value equals your Base Value multiplied by the sum of 1 plus the Adjusted Index Return minus any Indexed Account Charge. |
||||
| Indexed Accounts |
The investment options under the Contract that provide for credited interest (either positive, negative, or equal to zero) based on the performance of a particular Index and the applicable Crediting Method. Each Indexed Account also includes the Return Lock feature. |
||||
| Indexed Interest | The dollar amount of interest credited under an Indexed Account at the end of an Interest Term. Indexed Interest can be positive, negative or equal to zero. | ||||
| Interest Term |
The investment period over which performance of an Index is measured to determine Indexed Interest, or, for the Fixed Account, the period over which interest is credited at a specified declared rate. For Indexed Accounts, depending on the Crediting Method selected, we offer one-year, two-year, and six-year Interest Terms. Your Contract Value may be allocated among the Fixed Account and/or one or more Indexed Accounts. You may not transfer your Contract Value out of an Indexed Account or the Fixed Account until the end of its Interest Term. |
||||
| Interest Term Year | The initial Interest Term Year is the 12-month period beginning on the Allocation Date and ending on the 7th or 21st calendar day of the month that is closest to the anniversary of your Allocation Date. Subsequent Interest Term Years are consecutive and will also begin and end on the 7th or 21st calendar day of the month that is closest to an anniversary of your Allocation Date. | ||||
| Interim Value | The Interim Value represents the daily value of the underlying hypothetical instruments of your Indexed Account. This value is used in calculating your Indexed Account Value on any Business Day during an Interest Term except for the first and last Business Days of the Interest Term. | ||||
| Owner | The person(s) or legal entity entitled to exercise all rights and privileges under the Contract. Any reference to Owner in this prospectus includes any joint Owner. References to "you" in this prospectus refer to the Owner or a prospective Owner. | ||||
| Participation Rate | An element of a type of Crediting Method. The Participation Rate represents a percentage that can be applied to the Index Return for a given Interest Term. For any Indexed Account with both a Cap and Participation Rate, the Adjusted Index Return will be limited by the Cap. | ||||
| Payee | The person(s) or entity (or entities) designated by you to receive annuity payments during the Income Phase. You are the Payee unless you designate another person or entity as the Payee. | ||||
| Purchase Payment | The single premium paid to us under the Contract, less any applicable taxes due at the time the payment is made. | ||||
| Return Lock | A feature under the Contract for each Indexed Account. If you exercise the Return Lock feature during an Interest Term, your Indexed Account Value will no longer participate in the Index's performance, whether positive or negative, for the remainder of the Interest Term. You do not receive Indexed Interest at the end of an Interest Term if you exercise the Return Lock feature. | ||||
| Return Lock Date | The Business Day on which we process your request to exercise the Return Lock. | ||||
| Separate Account | Any reference to the Separate Account in this prospectus includes both Symetra Separate Account RINA and Symetra Separate Account RITX, unless otherwise noted. If your Contract was issued in a state other than Alaska, Texas or Washington, any assets allocated to the Indexed Accounts are allocated to Symetra Separate Account RINA, which we established under the laws of Iowa. Assets in Separate Account RINA are part of Symetra's General Account and are chargeable with the claims of any of our contract owners as well as our creditors and are subject to the liabilities arising from any of our other business. If your Contract was issued in Alaska, Texas or Washington, any assets allocated to the Indexed Accounts are allocated to Symetra Separate Account RITX, which we established under the laws of Iowa. Assets in Symetra Separate Account RITX are not part of Symetra's General Account and are not subject to our creditors. Neither Symetra Separate Account RINA nor Symetra Separate Account RITX are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. | ||||
| Symetra Life (or the "Company," "we," "us," or "our") |
Symetra Life Insurance Company. |
||||
| Transfer Notice Deadline | For the Fixed Account, two Business Days prior to the end of the Interest Term. For an Indexed Account, two Business Days prior to the end of the Interest Term if the Return Lock feature has not been exercised for that Indexed Account. If the Return Lock feature has been exercised for that Indexed Account, during that Interest Term, two Business Days prior to the end of any Interest Term Year. | ||||
| Trigger Rate |
An element of a type of Crediting Method. If at the end of the Interest Term the Index Return is 0% or greater, the Adjusted Index Return equals the Trigger Rate. If the Index Return exceeds the Trigger Rate percentage, your Adjusted Index Return will equal the lower Trigger Rate percentage. The Trigger Rate limits the potential positive Indexed Interest that may be credited for a given Interest Term. |
||||
|
|
||
| FEES, EXPENSES AND ADJUSTMENTS | ||||||||||||||
| Are there Charges or Adjustments for Early Withdrawals? |
Yes. If you take a withdrawal during the first 6 Contract Years, you may be assessed a surrender charge of up to 9% of the amount withdrawn. For example, if you invest $100,000 in the Contract and make an early withdrawal, you could pay a surrender charge of up to $9,000. This loss will be greater if there is a negative Interim Value calculation, taxes, or tax penalties.
If all or a portion of the Contract Value is removed from an Indexed Account or from the Contract prior to the end of an Interest Term, we will apply an Interim Value calculation to the Indexed Account Value which may be negative. Surrenders, partial withdrawals (including repetitive withdrawals), death benefit payments, and annuitization from the Indexed Accounts prior to the end of an Interest Term will be based on the Interim Values of the Indexed Accounts. In extreme situations, you could lose up to 100% of your investment due to the Interim Value calculation. For example, if you allocate $100,000 to an Indexed Account with a 2 year Interest Term, and later withdraw the entire amount before the 2 years have ended, you could lose up to $100,000 of your investment. This loss will be greater if the amount withdrawn is also subject to a surrender charge, taxes, and tax penalties.

Yes. The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay each year, depending on the investment options and optional benefits you choose. Please refer to your Contract data page for information about the specific fees you will pay each year based on the options you have elected.
There is an implicit ongoing fee on Indexed Accounts to the extent that your participation in Index gains is limited by us through the use of the Cap, Participation Rate, Trigger Rate, or Dual Trigger Rate. This means that your returns may be lower than the Index's returns. In return for accepting this limit on Index gains, you will receive some protection from Index losses.This implicit ongoing fee is not reflected in the tables below.

| Is this a Short-Term Investment? |
No. The Contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate if you need ready access to cash. The benefits of tax deferral and living benefit protections also mean the Contract is more beneficial to investors with a long-time horizon. Tax penalties may apply to withdrawals taken before age 59 ½. Withdrawals from the Contract may be subject to a surrender charges, taxes, and tax penalties. Amounts removed from an Indexed Account before the end of the Interest Term may also result in a negative Interim Value calculation and loss of positive performance. If you take a withdrawal prior to the end of an Interest Term, the withdrawal will cause a reduction (perhaps significant reduction) to your Base Value. Reductions to your Base Value will negatively impact your Indexed Account Value for the remainder of the Interest Term and may result in a lower amount of Indexed Interest being credited, if any, at the end of the Interest Term as well as reduce the amount of Death Benefit available to your Beneficiaries.
At the end of each Interest Term or if the Return Lock feature has been exercised, at the end of the current or any subsequent Interest Term Year, you may elect to transfer your Contract Value between the Fixed Account and any Indexed Account(s) and between Indexed Account(s) and begin a new Interest Term. If we do not receive a transfer request from you by the Transfer Notice Deadline, your allocations will remain the same and no transfers will occur. If an Indexed Account in which you are invested is no longer offered and we do not receive a transfer request, any amount in that Indexed Account will be transferred to the Fixed Account.

|
||||||||
| What are the Risks Associated with the Investment Options? |
Investment in the Contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the investment options available under the Contract (e.g., the Indexed Accounts). Each investment option (including the Fixed Account) has its own unique risks. You should review the available investment options before making an investment decision.
All of the Indices we currently offer are price return indices which do not reflect dividends or distributions paid on the components of the Indices. This reduces the Index Return and will cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the securities composing the Index.
The upside potential feature of the applicable Crediting Methods will limit positive Index Returns (e.g., limited upside). This may result in you earning less than the Index Return. For example:
The Cap represents the maximum positive Adjusted Index Return for a given Interest Term and limits the amount of positive Indexed Interest that we may be obligated to credit for any Interest Term. If the Cap is 8%, the Participation Rate is 100% and the Index Return is 15%, we would credit Indexed Interest at the Adjusted Index Return of 8% (the Index Return up to the Cap) at the end of the Interest Term.
The Participation Rate represents a percentage that can be applied to the Index Return for an Interest Term. If the Participation Rate is 100% with no Cap and the Index Return is 5%, we would multiply the Index Return of 5% by 100%. As a result, we would credit Indexed Interest to your Base Value at the Adjusted Index Return of 5% (100% of the Index Return) at the end of the Interest Term.
If the Index Return is 0% or greater, the Adjusted Index Return equals the Trigger Rate. If the Trigger Rate is 5% and the Index Return is 10%, the Adjusted Index Return equals the 5% Trigger Rate.
If the Index Return is positive, zero, or negative within the Buffer, the Adjusted Index Return equals the Dual Trigger Rate. If the Dual Trigger Rate is 4% and the Index Return is 10% (a positive Index Return), the Adjusted Index Return equals the 4% Dual Trigger Rate. Similarly, if the Index Return is -3% (negative within the Buffer), the Adjusted Index Return would equal the Dual Trigger Rate of 4%.
The downside protection feature of the applicable Crediting Methods will limit negative Index Returns (e.g., limited protection in the case of market decline). For example:
The Buffer represents the amount of negative Index Return that you are protected from before you are credited with negative Indexed Interest. If the Buffer is 10% and the Index Return is -15% (negative Index Return that exceeds the Buffer), we would credit Indexed interest at the Adjusted Index Return of -5%.
The Buffer Plus Rate is added to any negative Index Return to determine the Adjusted Index Return. If the Buffer Plus Rate is 20% and the Index Return is -15% (negative within the Buffer Plus Rate), we would credit Indexed Interest at the Adjusted Index Return of 5%. The Buffer Plus Rate is also the Adjusted Index Return if the Index Return is zero or positive below the Buffer Plus Rate. When the positive Index Return is higher than the Buffer Plus Rate, any positive Index Return in excess of the Buffer Plus Rate is multiplied by the Participation Rate, and then that result is added to the Buffer Plus Rate (subject to the Cap, if applicable) to determine the Adjusted Index Return.

||||||||
| What are the Risks Related to the Insurance Company? | Investment in the Contract is subject to the risks related to Symetra Life Insurance Company. Any obligations (including obligations related to the Symetra Fixed Account and Indexed Accounts), guarantees, and benefits provided for under the Contract are subject to our financial strength and claims-paying ability.

| For more information, see "Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract" in the statutory prospectus. | ||||||||
| RESTRICTIONS | ||||||||
| Are there Restrictions on the Investment Options? |
Yes. You may allocate amounts under the Contract to one or more of the Indexed Accounts available to you. Certain Indexed Accounts are closed to new investors and only available to Contract Owners who had Indexed Account Value invested in them as of a certain date. Once the applicable Interest Term is over, the Indexed Accounts will close. No new allocations are permitted to these Indexed Accounts.
We reserve the right to add, combine, restrict or remove any Indexed Account available as an investment option under your Contract. We further reserve the right to restrict or remove the Fixed Account as an investment option available under the Contract.
We may also add or remove an Index or Crediting Method during the time that you own the Contract. There is no guarantee that any particular Indexed Account, Index, or Crediting Method will be available during the entire time that you own your Contract. We may replace an Index at any time during an Interest Term.
Transfers may only be made at the end of each Interest Term or, if the Return Lock feature has been exercised, at the end of the current or any subsequent Interest Term Year.
The amount of Contract Value allocated to an Indexed Account at the beginning of an Interest Term must be at least $2,000.
If any transfer or Indexed Account Charge reduces an Indexed Account Value to less than $2,000, the entire amount remaining in that Indexed Account will be automatically transferred to the Fixed Account.
The Contract is a single premium annuity contract. Additional Purchase Payments will not be accepted.
We may change the Caps, Participation Rates, Trigger Rates, and Dual Triggers Rates from one Interest Term to the next, subject to the guaranteed minimum rates for each upside potential feature.
|
|||||||
| For more information, see the sections titled "Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract," "Purchase," "Investment Options," "Additional Information on the Indexed Accounts," and "Transfers" in the statutory prospectus. | ||||||||
| Are there any Restrictions on Contract Benefits? |
Yes. Except as provided otherwise, Contract benefits may be modified or terminated by the Company.
All withdrawals will reduce the death benefit, perhaps significantly, and the reduction may be more than the amount of the withdrawal.
|
|||||||
| See "Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract," "Additional Information on the Indexed Accounts - Return Lock," and "Access to Your Money During the Accumulation Phase" in the statutory prospectus. | ||||||||
| TAXES | ||||||||
| What are the Contract's Tax Implications? |
You should consult a competent tax professional about your individual circumstances to determine the tax implications of an investment in and Purchase Payment received under the Contract. There is no additional tax benefit if you purchased the Contract through a tax-qualified vehicle including but not limited to an individual retirement account (IRA). Access to amounts held in a qualified Contract may be restricted or prohibited. All distributions other than death benefits, including surrenders and withdrawals will be subject to ordinary income tax, and may be subject to tax penalties. |
|||||||
| For more information, see "Taxes" in the statutory prospectus. | ||||||||
| CONFLICTS OF INTEREST | ||||||||
| How are Investment Professionals Compensated? |
Some investment professionals may receive compensation for selling the Contract to investors. Investment professionals who solicited sales of the Contracts receive a portion of the commission payable to the broker-dealer firm, depending on the agreement between the broker-dealer and the investment professional. We pay commissions as a percentage of the Purchase Payment invested in the Contract. These investment professionals may receive different compensation for selling different investment products and may have a financial incentive to offer or recommend the Contract over another investment. |
|||||||
| For more information, see "Distribution" in the statutory prospectus. | ||||||||
| Should I Exchange My Contract? |
An investment professional may have a financial incentive to offer you a new contract in the place of a contract you already own. You should only exchange your contract for a new one if you determine, after comparing the features fees and risks of both contracts, and any fees or penalties to terminate the existing contract, that it is preferable for you to purchase the new contract rather than continue to own the existing contract. |
