This material is authorized for use only when preceded or accompanied by the current contract prospectus and underlying fund prospectuses. Before investing, investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the variable annuity and its underlying investment options. This and other important information are contained in the current contract prospectus and underlying fund prospectuses. Please read the prospectuses carefully before investing or sending money.

As with any investment in securities, variable annuities are subject to investment risks, including the possible loss of principal. Investor units will fluctuate with the performance of the underlying investments, and there may be a gain or loss upon redemption. All forms of securities may decline in value due to factors affecting securities markets generally, such as real or perceived adverse economic, political, or regulatory conditions, inflation, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment. Adverse market conditions may be prolonged and may not have the same impact on all types of securities. The values of securities may fall due to factors affecting a particular issuer, industry or the securities market as a whole.

The standardized performance information reflects past performance from the inclusion date of the underlying sub-account into the applicable separate account. All non-standardized performance information reflects hypothetical past performance that may include timeframes before the underlying sub-account was available within the applicable contract. The performance of a sub-account within a contract may differ from the performance of a sub-account within the applicable separate account because the contract has not been in existence for the life of the separate account. Please refer to the contract disclosure table for the establishment date of the separate account and offering dates of the contract.

Fixed income prices respond to changing economic environments, including interest rate changes, credit risk, and call features that could negatively affect the price and/or result in reinvestment in lower yielding securities.

Investments in foreign securities are subject to potential adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values, less publicly available information, and the possible imposition of foreign withholding taxes on income payable on the securities. They may be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. markets.

When interest rates increase, fixed-income securities generally will decline in value. Long-term fixed-income securities normally have more price volatility than short-term fixed-income securities. Some equity securities may also be sensitive to interest rate changes.

Rising interest rates tend to extend the duration of mortgage-related securities, making them more sensitive to changes in interest rates and exhibit additional volatility. When interest rates decline, borrowers may pay off their mortgages sooner than expected, which can reduce the returns.

Obligations issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government vary in the level of support they receive from the U.S. Government, and the maximum potential liability of the issuers may greatly exceed their current resources. It is possible that these issuers will not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future.

The price of equity or equity-related securities will fluctuate and can decline and reduce the value of a portfolio investing in these securities.

The manager's investment techniques could fail to achieve the Fund's investment objective or negatively affect the Fund's investment performance.

*Risk Measures: Alpha is a measure of the difference between a portfolio’s actual returns and its expected performance, given its level of risk measured by beta. Beta is a measure of a portfolio’s sensitivity to market movements. R-squared reflects the percentage of a portfolio’s movements that can be explained by movements in its benchmark. Sharpe Ratio is a risk-adjusted measure calculated by using standard deviation and excess return to determine rewards per unit of risk. Standard Deviation is a statistical measure of the volatility of the portfolio’s return.

The Morningstar Rating^TM for funds, or "star rating", is calculated for sub-accounts whose underlying investments have at least a three-year history. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The Morningstar Rating does not include any adjustment for sales loads. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods. The three-, five-, and 10-year Morningstar Rating metrics are representative of short, medium, and long-term performance characteristics respectively. JNL/WMC Balanced was rated against the following number of U.S. domiciled Moderate Allocation funds over the following time periods: 480 funds in the last three years, 449 funds in the last five years, and 377 funds in the last ten years. With respect to these Moderate Allocation funds, JNL/WMC Balanced received a Morningstar Rating of 4 stars, 4 stars and 4 stars for the three-, five- and ten-year periods, respectively. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The three-, five-, and 10-year Morningstar Rating metrics are representative of short, medium, and long-term performance characteristics respectively.

Some of Morningstar's proprietary calculations, including the Morningstar Rating^TM, are not customarily calculated based on adjusted historical returns. However, for new share classes/channels, Morningstar may calculate an extended performance Morningstar Rating. The extended performance is calculated by adjusting the historical total returns of the oldest share class of a fund to reflect the fee structure of the younger share class/channel, attaching this data to the younger share class' performance record, and then compounding the adjusted plus actual monthly returns into the extended performance Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return for the three-, five-, and 10- year time periods. The Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Returns are used to determine the extended performance Morningstar Rating. The extended performance Morningstar Rating for this fund does not affect the retail fund data published by Morningstar, as the bell curve distribution on which the ratings are based includes only funds with actual returns. The Overall Morningstar Rating for multi-share funds is based on actual performance only or extended performance only. Once the share class turns three years old, the Overall Morningstar Rating will be based on actual ratings only. The Overall Morningstar Rating for multi-share variable annuities is based on a weighted average of any ratings that are available. While the inclusion of pre-inception data, in the form of extended performance, can provide valuable insight into the probable long-term behavior of newer share classes of a fund, investors should be aware that an adjusted historical return can only provide an approximation of that behavior. For example, the fee structures of a retail share class will vary from that of an institutional share class, as retail shares tend to have higher operating expenses and sales charges. These adjusted historical returns are not actual returns. The underlying investments in the share classes used to calculate the pre-performance string will likely vary from the underlying investments held in the fund after inception. Calculation methodologies utilized by Morningstar may differ from those applied by other entities, including the fund itself.

Morningstar Rating is for the A share class only; other classes may have different performance characteristics.

The Morningstar Ownership Zone^TM provides detail about a portfolio’s equity investment style by showing the range of stock sizes and styles. A portfolio’s Ownership Zone^TM is derived by plotting each stock in the fund’s portfolio within the proprietary Morningstar Style Box^TM . The shaded area represents the center 75% of the fund’s assets, and it provides an intuitive visual representation of the area of the market in which the fund invests. A "centroid" plot in the middle of the Ownership Zone represents the weighted average of all the fund’s holdings. A fund that is concentrated will have a small ownership zone relative to the area of the style box, and broadly diversified fund will have an ownership zone that stretches across many sizes and style. Over a period of time, the shape and location of a fund’s ownership zone may vary.

The Morningstar Style Box^TM reveals a fund’s investment strategy. For equity funds the vertical axis shows the market capitalization of the long stocks owned and the horizontal axis shows investment style (value, blend, or growth). For fixed-income funds, the vertical axis shows the credit quality of the long bonds owned and the horizontal axis shows interest rate sensitivity as measured by a bond’s effective duration.

Morningstar seeks credit rating information from fund companies on a periodic basis (e.g., quarterly). In compiling credit rating information Morningstar accepts credit ratings reported by fund companies that have been issued by all Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (NRSROs). For a list of all NRSROs, please visit http://www.sec.gov/divisions/marketreg/ratingagency.htm. Additionally, Morningstar accepts foreign credit ratings from widely recognized or registered rating agencies. If two rating organizations/agencies have rated a security, fund companies are to report the lower rating; if three or more organizations/agencies have rated a security, fund companies are to report the median rating, and in cases where there are more than two organization/agency ratings and a median rating does not exist, fund companies are to use the lower of the two middle ratings. PLEASE NOTE: Morningstar, Inc. is not itself an NRSRO nor does it issue a credit rating on the fund. An NRSRO or rating agency ratings can change from time-to-time.

For credit quality, Morningstar combines the credit rating information provided by the fund companies with an average default rate calculation to come up with a weighted-average credit quality. The weighted-average credit quality is currently a letter that roughly corresponds to the scale used by a leading NRSRO. Bond funds are assigned a style box placement of “low”, “medium”, or “high” based on their average credit quality. Funds with a low credit quality are those whose weighted-average credit quality is determined to be less than “BBB-”; medium are those less than “AA-”, but greater or equal to “BBB-”; and high are those with a weighted-average credit quality of “AA-” or higher. When classifying a bond portfolio, Morningstar first maps the NRSRO credit ratings of the underlying holdings to their respective default rates (as determined by Morningstar’s analysis of actual historical default rates). Morningstar then averages these default rates to determine the average default rate for the entire bond fund. Finally, Morningstar maps this average default rate to its corresponding credit rating along a convex curve.

For interest-rate sensitivity, Morningstar calculates the average effective duration for portfolio holdings or sources from a third-party data provider from which Morningstar licenses data. Morningstar classifies a fixed-income fund’s interest-rate sensitivity based on the effective duration of the fund relative to the effective duration of the Morningstar Core Bond Index (MCBI). The classification of Limited will be assigned to those funds whose average effective duration is between 25% to 75% of MCBI’s average effective duration; funds whose average effective duration is between 75% to 125% of the MCBI will be classified as Moderate; and those that are at 125% or greater of the average effective duration of the MCBI will be classified as Extensive. In addition, for non-US taxable and non-US domiciled fixed income funds static duration breakpoints are used: (i) Limited: less than or equal to 3.5 years; (ii) Moderate: greater than 3.5 and less than equal to 6 years; (iii) Extensive: greater than 6 years.

Asset Allocation: The weighting of the portfolio in various asset classes, including “Other” is shown in the table. “Other” includes security types that are not neatly classified in the other asset classes, such as convertible bonds and preferred stocks. In the table, allocation to the classes is shown for long positions, short positions, and net (long positions net of short) positions. These statistics summarize what the managers are buying and how they are positioning the portfolio. When short positions are captured in these portfolio statistics, investors get a more robust description of the funds’ exposure and risk.

Most managed product portfolios hold fairly conventional securities, such as long positions in stocks and bonds. Other portfolios use other investment strategies or securities, such as short positions or derivatives, to reduce transaction costs, enhance returns, or reduce risk. Some of these securities and strategies behave like conventional securities, while others have unique return and risk characteristics.

Most portfolios take long positions in securities. Long positions involve buying the security outright and then selling it later, with the hope that the security price rises over time. In contrast, short positions are taken to benefit from anticipated price declines. In this type of transaction, the investor borrows the security from another investor, sells it and receives cash, and then is obligated to buy it back at some point in the future. If the price falls after the short sale, the investor will have sold high and can now buy low to close the short position and lock in a profit. However, if the price of the security increases after the short sale, the investor will experience losses by buying it at a higher price than the sale price.

The strategy of selling securities short is prevalent in specialized portfolios, such as long-short, market-neutral, bear-market, and hedge funds. Most conventional portfolios do not typically short securities, although they may reserve the right to do so under special circumstances. Funds may also short derivatives, and this is sometimes more efficient than shorting individual securities. Short positions produce negative exposure to the security that is being shorted. This means that when the security rises in value, the short position will fall in value and vice versa. Morningstar's portfolio statistics will capture this negative exposure. For example, if a fund has many short stock positions, the percent of assets in stocks in the asset allocation breakdown may be negative. Funds must provide their broker with cash collateral for the short position, so funds that short often have a large cash position, sometimes even exceeding 100% cash.

Note that all other portfolio statistics presented in this report are based on the long holdings of the fund only.
