What is a Variable Annuity?

Variable annuities are long-term, tax-deferred investments designed for retirement, involve investment risks and may lose value. Earnings are taxable as ordinary income when distributed. Individuals may be subject to a 10% additional tax for withdrawals before age 59½ unless an exception to the tax is met.

*Tax deferral offers no additional value if an annuity is used to fund a qualified plan, such as a 401(k) or IRA, and may be found at a lower cost in other investment products. It also may not be available if the annuity is owned by a legal entity such as a corporation or certain types of trusts.

†Select up to a maximum of 99 investments and adjust options or allocations up to 25 times each contract year without transfer fees. To prevent abusive trading practices, Jackson restricts the frequency of transfers among Variable Investment Options, including trading out of and back into the same subaccount within a 15-day period.

‡An add-on benefit is available for an extra charge in addition to the ongoing fees and expenses of the variable annuity. Once elected, the benefit may not be canceled or changed; please see prospectus for specific benefit availability. The long-term advantage of the add-on benefit will vary with the terms of the benefit option, the investment performance of the Variable Investment Options selected, and the length of time the annuity is owned. As a result, in some circumstances the cost of an option may exceed the actual benefit paid under that option.

Tax-efficient investing

Tax deferral* can provide you with tax control while also potentially allowing your assets to grow more quickly than in a taxable account — pay taxes when you withdraw your money, not while you earn it.
