403(b) CHECKUP Final Report: North St. Paul ISD #622 Report data as of September 30, 2013

Report presented: November 18, 2013

Educators Benefit Consultants: Educators Benefit Consultants (EBC) provides Third Party Administration (TPA) for 403(b) and 457 plans

for over 265 school districts in Minnesota and Wisconsin. EBC currently submits contribution data and

funds to over 40 vendors. EBC has completed information sharing agreements with all vendors doing

business in those school districts.

The North St. Paul School District (the District) contracted with EBC to execute the EBC 403(b) Checkup

service in an effort to provide the District and their employees with 403(b) service, cost and

performance comparisons with a focus on transparency and disclosure. Unlike the new disclosure

requirements of the Department of Labor (DOL) for Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA)

plans, the disclosure under the Checkup service for non-ERISA school districts is voluntary and not

currently required in regulations or law.

Context and Methods:

The 403(b) Checkup used a Request for Information (RFI) process. The main information gathering tool

in the Checkup RFI was a derivation of the Model Disclosure Form devised by a joint task force of the

National Tax Sheltered Accounts Association (NTSAA) and the American Society of Pension Professionals

and Actuaries (ASPPA). The Checkup Disclosure Form was sent to the thirteen North St. Paul School

District approved vendors. Twelve of thirteen vendors responded. EBC sought clarification of select

missing information from six vendors and three responded with some or all of requested clarifications.

The 403(b) Checkup Final Report provided to the District is an aggregation and compilation of the

answers provided by the approved 403(b) vendors. The Checkup tool is set up to closely define the

precise information requested from vendors in the RFI in a way that allows comparison. It is not EBC’s

role in this process to improve, diminish, or substitute the information provided by the vendors.

The information is presented in a series of dashboard summaries, highlights and a final report. All

vendors are presented with an equal opportunity to present accurate information in the dashboard

charts and to put their best forward in the company highlights section.

The final report does not rank vendors and products. The final report does provide transparency and

disclosure of 403(b) benefits and costs in an apples-to-apples comparative format. Backup information is

included in electronic format and a flash drive.

North St. Paul ISD #622 is a non-ERISA governmental entity and is not a fiduciary of the 403(b) plan

offered in the District. North St. Paul ISD #622 provides this Checkup information to assist employees in

1

making best choices in their retirement planning and investing across a career spectrum. The focus of

the District Checkup Report is education, transparency, and disclosure, presented in a manner that

facilitates comparison.

With transparency and disclosure, employees of the District have comparative information to make

good retirement plan choices for themselves across a career spectrum. In agreeing to provide this

service through EBC, the District recognizes that school district employees want and need good

information to make the best choices for themselves in their retirement planning.

North St. Paul ISD #622 and EBC Goals:

• Increase participation in 403(b) plans by eligible participants

• Create apples to apples comparison of District’s approved 403(b) products

• Review type of 403(b) product, expenses, service, and performance for purposes of diversity of

offerings and better understanding of what is offered in approved 403(b) products

• Create a platform of information to help employees gain greater understanding of retirement

products and choices in the North St. Paul School District

• Collaborate with Union leadership in providing information to membership

• Determine best way to distribute 403(b) Checkup information

• Consider an educational video on Checkup findings with on demand access to help employees

gain understanding and to increase participation

• Provide electronic version of Checkup report and RFI backup information from approved

vendors to District for electronic sharing

• Discuss merits of hosting live session for new employees

Challenges:

• Naming conventions by different companies for their 403(b) product expenses make it difficult

to make apples to apples comparisons

• Certain product expense structures work against easy comparisons with other products

structured in different manner. For example there are expenses charged at the asset level, from

the participants account, charged as a percentage and charged as a flat dollar amount, etc.

• Checkup process required going back to vendors for clarification, correction, to ask for

additional information or to complete the form in a particular manner that allowed comparison

• One vendor, Vangard, did not respond although in initial RFI outreach, they said they would

respond

• Very few eligible participants will likely study long 403(b) reports from all the vendors

• Information overload may not be any more helpful than not enough information

• Dashboard summaries/comparative charts are necessary to deal with information overload but

may not highlight all that a company believes is valuable about their company, product or

advisors. We do include opportunity for more open ended responses in company highlights

questions.

Findings:

North St. Paul ISD # 622 School District:

• North St. Paul ISD #622 currently has 799 employees contributing to 403(b), both regular and

Roth. The District has another 42 employees contributing to a Deferred Compensation Plan (2%

of total). Combined, this is 42% of eligible employees (2000). As of 2012, in the latest

information available, the national average for 403(b) participation is 30%, for 401(k) it is 70%.

The District is above the national average for 403(b) participation. Additional education and

encouragement may motivate some of the remaining 58% who are not participating. Of the 58%

who are not participating, many probably should.

• North St. Paul ISD #622 offers 403(b) products from 13 approved vendors. Participation by

vendor is as follow: (Please note for this data, that ROTH contributions are split out from Pre-

tax.)

• North St. Paul ISD #622 offers 403(b) products that include choices for conservative, moderate,

and aggressive investors including fixed interest accounts and a wide range of domestic and

foreign stock, bond, specialty, index and lifecycle funds

North St. Paul ISD #622 403(b) Participants

• Participants have access to a variety of products suitable for use across a career spectrum

• Participants have a choice between different expense structures and service options in the

District 403(b) offerings

• Participants have a continuum of choice from do-it- yourself investing to full services of a

financial representative

• The information provided in the Checkup report can be used by employees to ask questions of

financial advisors or do independent research and better understand their retirement plan

choices, costs, service and performance. Participants can better judge if the cost, service, and

performance provide a good value proposition.

Further Action

• North St. Paul may wish to establish a formal process for an approved vendor to bring in a

new 403(b) product offering or end a product offering due to continually changing financial

environment

• The District Plan document allows for contributions to a Roth 403(b). A Roth can be a helpful

addition to investment portfolio of younger employees and/or people who have

substantial/adequate amounts in tax deferred accounts. The utilization of Roth is small in

the District. This may be an opportunity for more education.

• The District plan offers considerable choice of vendors and products. Employees can select a

similar mutual fund or insurance product from a number of companies. Recognizing that

under MN law, 403(b) vendors are bargainable, the District currently requires five or more

403(b) participants for a vendor to be added to the approved vendor list in the District. The

District may wish to establish a formal process to take a vendor off the approved list and

communicate any changes in approved vendor list to EBC as TPA to update District Plan

5

Document. Is the current number of vendor/product choices extended to participants an

enhancement or is the number of choices a deterrent to action? Currently, there is a

specified number of participants (5) in an approved product that triggers the District to close

that product to new participants. Going forward, is that the right number of participants to

be added as an approved vendor?

• Discuss challenges of current District severance calculation pertaining to match offset and

develop recommendations going forward

• Craft a Video Checkup Report power point to provide on demand access to employees

• Consider offering a short presentation of Checkup to new employees (possibly at an already

scheduled new employee orientation)

• Consider short presentation of Checkup report for select District staff and/or bargaining

group leadership

• Make the Checkup report available online to employees

• Develop communication about Checkup report

• Change District match communication about 403(b) to reflect “tax sheltered account” rather

than “tax sheltered annuity.”

• Update District website on 403(b), using parts of the Checkup report/charts.

Audit News: IRS is currently focusing on five major areas of compliance, including written plan document

requirements, universal availability of plan participation, excessive deferral and early distributions.

Universal availability of plan participation is a traditional concept for 403(b), but the IRS has added a key

component, known as “effective opportunity” to participate, from the final 403(b) regulations, in

1.403(b)-5(b)(2). (September 17, 2013 by Wolters Kluwer Law & Business)

IRS Field Examiners are looking at low participation rates, reportedly in the 18-20% range in reported

audits; then asking the employer to provide information on the employer’ education plan for eligible

employees. (New Interest in IRS Audits: Is Meaningful Opportunity Being Provided by Ellie Lowder,

TGPC, Consultant, May/June 2013 issue of NTSAA Market Beat)

According to Lowder the elements of an Education Program for Employees include:

1. Online tools

2. Periodic employee workshops including information about the primary pension plan, social

security benefits and the need to fill the gap with voluntary saving in 403(b) and 457 plans.

3. Face-to-face meetings with financial advisors

4. Involvement of key administrators

403(b) retirement plan

A 403(b) is a retirement plan offered by non-profit organizations, such as schools, universities and some charitable organizations. It is similar to

but not the same as a 401(k) plan offered by corporations. There are several advantages to 403(b) plans: contributions are made on a pre-tax

basis and thus lower taxable income, larger contributions can be made to the account as compared to certain other retirement accounts such as

IRA’s, earnings can grow tax-deferred, and some plans allow loans and hardship provisions. Contributions in a 403(b) retirement plan grow tax-

deferred until withdrawal at which time the money is taxed as ordinary income.

16

Fixed interest account

A fixed income account generally includes a number of contracts issued by an insurance company or bank paying a stated interest rate. Investor

does not bear investment risk in this account and is paid a guaranteed interest rate. Period of guarantee varies.

A fixed annuity is a specific type of life insurance contract which provides future payments to the annuitant typically at retirement. A fixed

annuity guarantees a stream of fixed payments over the life of the annuity. The insurer, not the insured takes the investment risk and pays the

annuitant a fixed rate of return. That rate of return will vary over the life of the contract but the contract will generally include minimum rate

guarantee.

Variable annuity

A variable annuity is a specific type of life insurance contract. Variable annuities include one or more insurance features which are not present in

other investment alternatives. These include a death benefit, interest and expense guarantees and annuity options. Variable annuities offer the

policyholder a choice of investment subaccounts which include stocks and bonds. Investment risk in a variable annuity is borne by the policy

holder. Annuities can provide future payments to the annuitant typically at retirement. Annuity payouts from a variable annuity are based on

the value of the portfolio, the annuity option chosen and the age of the annuitant.

Custodial Mutual Fund

An account provided through a retirement account custodian wherein investments are limited to regulated investment companies such as

mutual funds. Investment risk is borne by the account holder. Mutual funds pool and invest the money of many people and are managed by

professional investment advisors.

o Open Architecture Custodial Mutual Fund

Investors have access to wide universe of funds, not to a specific limited list of funds.

o Custodial Mutual Fund Direct

Investors work directly with the mutual fund company, using online and phone resources of the mutual fund company .

ING

Completed By: Laurie Lombardo



please explain.

Yes, Like other companies in the industry, ILIAC currently is a party to a number of lawsuits and

arbitrations arising from the normal conduct of business, some of which relate to deferred

compensation, defined contribution or public/private pension plans, and others involving

individuals who are not participants in such plans, as well as arbitrations and lawsuits involving

brokers and/or registered representatives, and employment matters. Moreover, certain claims

are asserted as class actions, purporting to represent a group of similarly situated individuals. In

one ongoing matter, a certified class of current and former customers challenges ILIAC’s receipt

of certain compensation from mutual funds. ILIAC denies the allegations and is vigorously

defending the litigation.

While it is not possible to forecast the outcome of any such lawsuits, we do not believe they will

have an adverse impact on ILIAC’s ability to provide services in connection with this contract.

Additional information is available upon request.

the annuity that can’t be outlived and a guarantee that annual insurance charges will not increase. The charge is reflected and paid as a

percentage of your account value. The M & E charge may differ during the accumulation phase when person makes deposits or leaves account

to grow and during the annuitization phase when a person annuitizes the contract with a payout option.

Fund Operating Expense

A fund operating expense is an annual calculation which determines how much it costs to operate a mutual fund. A fund operating expense is

paid out of the fund assets to the fund’s investment advisor for managing the fund’s investment portfolio. The fund fee is greater or lesser

depending on the type of underlying assets in the mutual fund and the investment objective of the fund. The charge is assessed as a percentage

of assets invested. They are paid in the form of an indirect charge against the investor’s account. Net total return reported to the investor is the

return after these fees have been deducted.

Administrative Fee

The administrative fee in this context is the cost of advisor services. It is reflected and paid as a percentage of investors account value. The

percentage charged is based on the amount of a person’s assets held with the advisor with the percentage declining as assets reach certain

defined levels.

Front End Charge

The front end charge is reflected and paid as a percentage of deposits (purchase payments) in to the account. There may be breakpoints which

reduce the front end charge based on the total value of assets in the account.

Surrender Charge

A surrender charge is a charge the investor incurs when selling or cancelling certain types of investments or annuity polices. The length of time a

surrender charge is in place generally varies between one and fifteen years. A surrender charge may also be called a backend charge or a

contingent deferred sales charge

Custodial Charge, Contract Fee

This charge is named differently in different 403(b) products. It generally pays for record-keeping, account maintenance and/or administrative

costs. The cost is reflected and paid as a flat dollar amount and often ranges from $30 to $50 annually to the account holder. It may be

eliminated when account value reaches a certain limit.

53

The Guaranteed Interest Option (GIO) is available in addition to a wide variety of investment options offered

through the EQUI-VEST® variable deferred annuity. It provides a guaranteed fixed rate of interest and a

guarantee to preserve your principal.

Introduction

Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (collectively “MetLife” or the “Company”) is a leading provider of insurance, annuities, and employee benefits programs with operations throughout the United States. The Company offers life insurance and annuities to individuals, as well as group insurance and retirement & savings products and services to corporations and other institutions. This report is designed to help You, a plan fiduciary, to better understand the fees and expenses incurred by You, Your plan and the participants in Your retirement plan. Please refer to Your contract and prospectus for information about the features of Your Contract. This fee disclosure Report is not intended to replace, substitute, or interpret the terms or information contained in those documents. The Contract and prospectus will control in the event of a conflict with this Report. MetLife acts as a non-discretionary service provider directed by the Plan in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. As a non-discretionary service provider under the group annuity Contract, MetLife does not provide or expect to provide services as a fiduciary to the plan for purposes of the Department of Labor’s 408(b)(2) fee disclosure regulation. The options described in this disclosure are available to the extent they are offered under the Plan.

Regulatory Requirements

In response to the need for improved clarity about the fees and expenses the United States Department of Labor (“DOL”) has introduced the requirement for certain service providers that receive more than $1,000 to make explicit disclosures to certain retirement plans that they service. The DOL requires that the disclosure contain five essential elements:

�� Who the covered service provider is

�� A description of the services provided

�� The fee or expense charged by the provider

�� Payor and manner of payment

�� A declaration of the fiduciary status of the provider

What This Report Contains

This report is designed to help You to better understand the costs to You and Your employees of Your retirement plan. In order to achieve this goal we have summarized the most relevant cost components in a straightforward presentation, provided an explanation of the services provided for those costs and the supporting details to explain how costs were derived.

The Net Total Annual Operating Expenses shown in the table reflect Contractual arrangements currently in effect under which the investment managers of certain Portfolios have agreed to waive fees and/or pay expenses of the Portfolios until at least April 30, 2013. In the table, “0.00%” in the Contractual Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement column indicates that there is a contractual arrangement in effect for that Portfolio, but the expenses of the Portfolio are below the level that would trigger the waiver or reimbursement. The Net Total Annual Operating Expenses shown do not reflect voluntary waiver or expense reimbursement arrangements or arrangements that terminate prior to April 30, 2013. The Portfolios provided the information on their expenses, and we have not independently verified the information. Certain Portfolios that have “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses” are “fund of funds.” Each “fund of funds’ invests substantially all of its assets in other portfolios. Because the Portfolio invests in other underlying portfolios, the Portfolio will bear its pro rata portion of the operating expenses of the underlying portfolios in which it invests, including the management fee. See the Portfolio prospectus for more information.

Therefore, each of these Underlying Funds in this Contract will bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying funds in which it invests in addition to its own management fees and expenses. This will reduce the investment return of each of the fund of funds Underlying Funds in this Contract. The expense levels will vary over time, depending on the mix of underlying funds in which the fund of funds Underlying Fund in this Contract invests. You may be able to realize lower aggregate expenses by investing directly in the underlying funds instead of investing in the fund of funds Underlying Funds in this Contract, if such underlying funds are available under the Contract. However, only some of the underlying funds are available under the Contract. Payments We May Receive An investment manager (other than our affiliate MetLife Advisers, LLC) or sub-investment manager of a Portfolio, or its affiliates, may make payments to us and/or certain of our affiliates. These payments may be used for a variety of purposes, including payment of expenses for certain administrative, marketing, and support services with respect to the Contracts and, in the Company’s role as an intermediary, with respect to the Portfolios. The Company and its affiliates may profit from these payments. These payments may be derived, in whole or in part, from the advisory fee deducted from Portfolio assets. Contract owners, through their indirect investment in the Portfolios, bear the costs of these advisory fees (see the Portfolios’ prospectuses for more information). The amount of the payments we receive is based on a percentage of assets of the Portfolios attributable to the Contracts and certain other variable insurance products that we and our affiliates issue. These percentages differ and some investment managers or sub-


71

9

investment managers (or their affiliates) may pay us more than others. These percentages currently range up to 0.50%. Additionally, an investment manager or sub-investment manager of a Portfolio or its affiliates may provide us with wholesaling services that assist in the distribution of the Contracts and may pay us and/or certain of our affiliates amounts to participate in sales meetings. These amounts may be significant and may provide the investment manager or sub-investment manager (or their affiliate) with increased access to persons involved in the distribution of the Contracts. We and/or certain of our affiliated insurance companies have a joint ownership interest in our affiliated investment manager MetLife Advisers, LLC, which is formed as a “limited liability company.” Our ownership interest in MetLife Advisers, LLC entitles us to profit distributions if the investment manager makes a profit with respect to the investment management fees it receives from the Portfolios. We will benefit accordingly from assets allocated to the Portfolios to the extent they result in profits to the investment manager. Certain Portfolios have adopted a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. A Portfolio’s 12b-1 Plan, if any, is described in more detail in each Portfolio’s prospectus. Any payments we receive pursuant to those 12b-1 Plans are paid to us or our distributor. Payments under a Portfolio’s 12b-1 Plan decrease the Portfolio’s investment return. We select the Underlying Funds offered through the Contract based on a number of criteria, including asset class coverage, the strength of the adviser’s or subadviser’s reputation and tenure, brand recognition, performance, and the capability and qualification of each investment firm. Another factor We consider during the selection process is whether the Underlying Fund’s adviser or subadviser is one of Our affiliates or whether the Underlying Fund, its adviser, its subadviser(s), or an affiliate will make payments to Us or Our affiliates. In this regard, the profit distributions We receive from our affiliated investment advisers are a component of the total revenue that we consider in configuring the features and investment choices available in the variable insurance products that We and Our affiliated insurance companies issue. As disclosed above, since We and Our affiliated insurance companies may benefit more from the allocation of assets to portfolios advised by Our affiliates than those that are not, We may be more inclined to offer portfolios advised by Our affiliates in the variable insurance products We issue. We review the Underlying Funds periodically and may remove an Underlying Fund or limit its availability to new Purchase Payments and/or transfers of Contract Value if We determine that the Underlying Fund no longer meets one or more of the selection criteria, and/or if the Underlying Fund has not attracted significant allocations from Contract Owners. In some cases, we have included Underlying Funds based on recommendations made by broker-dealer firms. These broker-dealer firms may receive payments from the Underlying Funds they recommend and may benefit accordingly from the allocation of Contract Value to such Underlying Funds. When the Company develops a Variable Annuity product in cooperation with a fund family or distributor (e.g., “private label” product) the Company will generally include Underlying Funds based on recommendation made by the fund family or distributor, whose selection criteria may differ from the Company’s selection criteria. We do not provide investment advice and do not recommend or endorse any particular Underlying Fund. You bear the risk of any decline in the Contract Value resulting from the performance of the Underlying Funds You have chosen. Limitations on Allocations and Transfers: Limits on making allocations or transfers may be imposed by the plan or the Contract. Some of the Investment Divisions may not be approved in Your state. Product limits or restrictions are described in the Contract. In addition, we impose restrictions intended to prevent frequest transfers, as described below. The employer may have other restriction on making changes to Your allocations. If Your employer has additional limits, they will be described in a separate document that will be provided to You by Your employer. The following is a discussion of our market timing policies and procedures.

Frequent requests from contract owners or participants/annuitants to make transfers/reallocations may dilute the value of a Portfolio’s shares if the frequent transfers/reallocations involve an attempt to take advantage of pricing inefficiencies created by a lag between a change in the value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the reflection of that change in the Portfolio’s share price (“arbitrage trading”). Regardless of the existence of pricing inefficiencies, frequent transfers/reallocations may also increase brokerage and administrative costs of the underlying Portfolios and may disrupt portfolio management strategy, requiring a Portfolio to maintain a high cash position and possibly resulting in lost investment opportunities and forced liquidations (“disruptive trading”). Accordingly, arbitrage trading and disruptive trading activities (referred to collectively as “market timing”) may adversely affect the long-term performance of the Portfolios, which may in turn adversely affect contract owners and other persons who may have an interest in the Contracts (e.g., participants/annuitants). We have policies and procedures that attempt to detect and deter frequent transfers/reallocations in situations where we determine there is a potential for arbitrage trading. Currently, we believe that such situations may be presented in the international, small-cap, and high-yield investment Portfolios (i.e., the American Funds Global Small Capitalization, Baillie Gifford International Stock, Clarion Global Real Estate, Harris Oakmark International, Invesco Small Cap Growth, Loomis Sayles Small Cap Core, Loomis Sayles Small Cap Growth, Lord Abbett Bond Debenture, Met/Templeton Growth, MFS» Research International, MSCI EAFE» Index, Neuberger Berman Genesis, Oppenheimer Global Equity, Russell 2000» Index, T. Rowe Price Small Cap Growth and Western Asset Management Strategic Bond Opportunities Portfolios —the “Monitored Portfolios and we monitor transfer/reallocation activity in those Monitored Portfolios. In addition, as described below, we intend to treat all American Funds Insurance Series» Portfolios (“American Funds portfolios”) as Monitored Portfolios. We employ various means to monitor transfer/reallocation activity, such as examining the frequency and size of transfers/reallocations into and out of the Monitored Portfolios within given periods of time. For example, we currently monitor transfer/reallocation activity to determine if, for each category of international, small-cap, and high-yield portfolios, in a 12 month period there were (1) six or more transfers/reallocations involving the given category; (2) cumulative gross transfers/reallocations involving the given category that exceed the current Account Balance; and (3) two or more “round-trips” involving any Monitored Portfolio in the given category. A round-trip generally is defined as a transfer/reallocation in followed by a transfer/reallocation out within the next seven calendar days or a transfer/reallocation out followed by a transfer/reallocation in within the next seven calendar days, in either case subject to certain other criteria. We do not believe that other Portfolios present a significant opportunity to engage in arbitrage trading and therefore do not monitor transfer/reallocation activity in those Portfolios. We may change the Monitored Portfolios at any time without notice in our sole discretion. In addition to monitoring transfer/reallocation activity in certain Portfolios, we rely on the underlying Portfolios to bring any potential disruptive transfer/reallocation activity they identify to our attention for investigation on a case-by-case basis. We will also investigate other harmful transfer/reallocation activity that we identify from time to time. We may revise these policies and procedures in our sole discretion at any time without prior notice. As a condition to making their portfolios available in our products, American Funds» requires us to treat all American Funds portfolios as Monitored Portfolios under our current market timing and excessive trading policies and procedures. Further, American Funds» requires us to impose additional specified monitoring criteria for all American Funds portfolios available under the Contract, regardless of the potential for arbitrage trading. We are required to monitor transfer/reallocation activity in American Funds portfolios to determine if there were two or more transfers/reallocations in followed by transfers/reallocations out, in each case of a certain dollar amount or greater, in any 30-day period. A first violation of the American Funds» monitoring policy will result in a written notice of violation; each additional violation will result in the imposition of a six-month restriction during which period we will require all transfer/reallocation requests to or from an American Funds portfolio to be submitted with an original signature. Further, as Monitored Portfolios, all American Funds portfolios also will be subject


73

11

to our current market timing and excessive trading policies, procedures and restrictions (described below), and transfer/reallocation restrictions may be imposed upon a violation of either monitoring policy. Our policies and procedures may result in transfer/reallocation restrictions being applied to deter market timing. Currently, when we detect transfer/reallocation activity in the Monitored Portfolios that exceeds our current transfer/ reallocation limits, or other transfer/reallocation activity that we believe may be harmful to other persons who have an interest in the Contracts, we require all future requests to or from any Monitored Portfolios or other identified Portfolios under that Contract to be submitted with an original signature. Transfers made under a dollar cost averaging program, a rebalancing program or, if applicable, any asset allocation program described in this Prospectus are not treated as transfers when we evaluate trading patterns for market timing. Your third party administrator has its own standards with regard to monitoring activity in the Monitored Portfolios and how subsequent transfer/reallocation activity will be restricted once those standards are triggered. These standards and subsequent trading restrictions may be more or less restrictive than ours, and presently include restrictions on non-Monitored Portfolios. The differences in monitoring standards and restrictions are due to systems limitation and may change from time to time as those systems are upgraded. The detection and deterrence of harmful transfer/reallocation activity involves judgments that are inherently subjective, such as the decision to monitor only those Portfolios that we believe are susceptible to arbitrage trading or the determination of the transfer/reallocation limits. Our ability to detect and/or restrict such transfer/reallocation activity may be limited by operational and technological systems, as well as our ability to predict strategies employed by contract owners or participants/annuitants to avoid such detection. Our ability to restrict such transfer/ reallocation activity also may be limited by provisions of the Contract. Accordingly, there is no assurance that we will prevent all transfer/reallocation activity that may adversely affect contract owners or participants/annuitants and other persons with interests in the Contracts. We do not accommodate market timing in any Portfolios and there are no arrangements in place to permit any contract owner or participant/annuitant to engage in market timing; we apply our policies and procedures without exception, waiver, or special arrangement. The Portfolios may have adopted their own policies and procedures with respect to market timing procedures in their respective shares, and we reserve the right to enforce these policies and procedures. For example, Portfolios may assess a redemption fee (which we reserve the right to collect) on shares held for a relatively short period. The prospectuses for the Portfolios describe any such policies and procedures, which may be more or less restrictive than the policies and procedures we have adopted. Although we may not have the contractual authority or the operational capacity to apply the market timing policies and procedures of the Portfolios, we have entered into a written agreement, as required by SEC regulation, with each Portfolio or its principal underwriter that obligates us to provide to the Portfolio promptly upon request certain information about the trading activity of individual contract owners, and to execute instructions from the Portfolio to restrict or prohibit further purchases or transfers/ reallocations by specific contract owners who violate the frequent trading policies established by the Portfolio. In addition, contract owners or participants/annuitants and other persons with interests in the Contracts should be aware that the purchase and redemption orders received by the Portfolios generally are “omnibus” orders from intermediaries, such as retirement plans or separate accounts funding variable insurance contracts. The omnibus orders reflect the aggregation and netting of multiple orders from individual owners of variable insurance contracts and/or individual retirement plan participants. The omnibus nature of these orders may limit the Portfolios in their ability to apply their market timing policies and procedures. In addition, the other insurance companies and/or retirement plans may have different policies and procedures or may not have any such policies and procedures because of contractual


74

12

limitations. For these reasons, we cannot guarantee that the Portfolios (and thus contract owners or participants/annuitants) will not be harmed by transfer/reallocation activity relating to the other insurance companies and/or retirement plans that may invest in the Portfolios. If a Portfolio believes that an omnibus order reflects one or more transfer/reallocation requests from contract owners engaged in disruptive trading activity, the Portfolio may reject the entire omnibus order. In accordance with applicable law, we reserve the right to modify or terminate the transfer/reallocation privilege at any time. We also reserve the right to defer or restrict the transfer/reallocation privilege at any time that we are unable to purchase or redeem shares of any of the Portfolios, including any refusal or restriction on purchases or redemptions of their shares as a result of their own policies and procedures on market timing and disruptive trading activities (even if an entire omnibus order is rejected due to the market timing or disruptive trading activity of a single contract owner or participant/annuitant). You should read the Portfolio prospectuses for more details.

Voting Rights Based on our current view of applicable law, You have voting interests under Your Deferred Annuity or Income Annuity concerning Metropolitan Fund, Met Investors Fund, Calvert Fund or American Funds» proposals that are subject to a shareholder vote. Therefore, You are entitled to give us instructions for the number of shares which are deemed attributable to Your Deferred Annuity or Income Annuity. We will vote the shares of each of the underlying Portfolios held by the Separate Account based on instructions we receive from those having a voting interest in the corresponding Investment Divisions. However, if the law or the interpretation of the law changes, we may decide to exercise the right to vote the Portfolio’s shares based on our own judgment. You are entitled to give instructions regarding the votes attributable to your Deferred Annuity or Income Annuity in your sole discretion. Under the Keogh Deferred Annuity, participants may instruct You to give us instructions regarding shares deemed attributable to their contributions to the Deferred Annuity. Under the Keogh Deferred Annuity, we will provide You with the number of copies of voting instruction soliciting materials that You request so that You may furnish such materials to participants who may give You voting instructions. Neither the Separate Account nor MetLife has any duty to inquire as to the instructions received or Your authority to give instructions; thus, as far as the Separate Account, and any others having voting interests in respect of the Separate Account are concerned, such instructions are valid and effective. There are certain circumstances under which we may disregard voting instructions. However, in this event, a summary of our action and the reasons for such action will appear in the next semiannual report. If we do not receive Your voting instructions, we will vote Your interest in the same proportion as represented by the votes we receive from other investors. The effect of this proportional voting is that a small number of contract owners or participants/annuitants may control the outcome of a vote. Shares of the Metropolitan Fund, Met Investors Fund, Calvert Fund or American Funds» that are owned by our general account or by any of our unregistered separate accounts will be voted in the same proportion as the aggregate of:

• The shares for which voting instructions are received, and • The shares that are voted in proportion to such voting instructions.

However, if the law or the interpretation of the law changes, we may decide to exercise the right to vote the Portfolio’s shares based on our judgment

Collateral Loans If Your plan makes collateral loans available, MetLife will charge an adjustable interest rate on any outstanding loan balance in connection with a collateral loan. MetLife will declare the adjustable loan interest rate that will apply to all collateral loans taken during a calendar quarter on the first day of each


75

13

calendar quarter (January 1, April 1, July1, and October 1). The adjustable rate will be based on the Moody’s Corporate Bond Index Average as determined two months prior to the effective date of the declared loan interest rate. The interest rate applicable to the loan is subject to adjustment annually and will be set prior to the anniversary date of the loan. At any time, an outstanding loan balance will be the amount of the loan plus any interest not repaid minus any repayments of principal and interest that have been made. Interest paid on the loan is not tax deductible. Fixed Interest Account balance: The Fixed Interest Account balance will not be reduced by the amount of a collateral loan. Instead, an amount equal to the outstanding loan balance will earn 2% less than the rate charged on the collateral loan, with MetLife retaining this 2%. Limitations on Withdrawals and Transfers: While a collateral loan is outstanding, withdrawals and transfers from the certificate are restricted because an amount equal to 125% of the outstanding balance must remain in the Fixed Interest Account as collateral for the loan. Default: Loans are in arrears and delinquent when any payment is missed. The loan must continue to be repaid even in the event of default until the entire outstanding loan balance, plus all accrued interest thereon, is repaid in full or until, You experience a qualifying event subject to the terms of Your Plan, allowing the Plan to withdraw the outstanding loan amounts against my account balance, whichever comes first. If Code §403(b)(11) withdrawal restrictions prevent MetLife from withdrawing some or all of the outstanding defaulted loan balance, MetLife will continue to charge interest on such amount at the applicable loan rate in accordance with pre-default procedures until the outstanding balance can be withdrawn.

Fixed Interest Rate Option: The Contract has a fixed interest rate option called the “Fixed Interest Account.” The Fixed Interest Account offers an interest rate that is guaranteed by MetLife. Interest rates are set at least annually. The guaranteed minimum interest rate depends on the date Your Contract is issued but will not be less than 1%. Fixed Interest Account option guarantees are subject to the financial strength and claims paying ability of MetLife. Section 2: Charges and Deductions The following tables describe the fees and expenses You will pay when You buy, hold or withdraw amounts from Your Contract. The first table describes charges You will pay at the time You purchase the Contract, make withdrawals from Your Contract, or make transfers between the Investment Divisions of Your Contract, or reallocations between the Investment Divisions when You have annuitized Your Contract. The tables do not show premium taxes (ranging from 0.5% to 3.5% and which are applicable only in certain jurisdictions) and other taxes which may apply.

¹ An early withdrawal charge of up to 7% may apply if You withdraw purchase payments within 7 years of when they were credited to Your Contract. The charge on purchase payments is calculated according to the following schedule:

During Purchase Payment Year Percentage 1 7% 2 6% 3 5% 4 4% 5 3% 6 2% 7 1%

Thereafter 0% There are times when the Early Withdrawal Charge does not apply to amounts that are withdrawn from a Contract. For example, each Contract Year You may take the greater of 10% (20% under certain Contracts) of Your Account Balance or Your purchase payments made over 7 years ago free of Early Withdrawal Charges. ² Either or both fees may be waived for certain groups. The loan maintenance fee is paid on a quarterly basis at the end of each quarter on a pro-rata basis from the Investment Divisions and the Fixed Interest Account in which You then have a balance. The second table describes the fees and expenses that You will bear periodically during the time You hold the Contract, but does not include fees and expenses for the Portfolios.

This fee may be waived under certain circumstances. 4 Pursuant to the terms of the Contract, our total Separate Account charge will not exceed 1.25% of Your average balance in the investment divisions. For purposes of presentation here, we estimated the allocation between general administrative expenses and the mortality and expense risk charge for the Contracts or the amount of underlying Portfolio shares we have designated in the Investment Divisions to generate Your income payments for the contracts. We are waiving 0.08% of the Separate Account Charge for the investment division investing in the BlackRock Large Cap Core Portfolio of the Met Investors Fund. We are waiving the amount, if any, of the Separate Account charge equal to the underlying portfolio expenses that are in excess of 0.88% for the Investment Division investing in the MFS ® Research International Portfolio—Class A of the Met Investors Fund. When No Early Withdrawal Charge Applies In some cases, we will not charge You the Early Withdrawal Charge when You make a withdrawal. We may, however, ask You to prove that You meet one of the conditions listed below. You do not pay an Early Withdrawal Charge:


77

15

• On transfers You make within your Contract among Investment Divisions and transfers to or from the Fixed Interest Account.

• On withdrawals of purchase payments You made over seven years ago.

• If You choose payments over one or more lifetimes or for a period of at least five years (without

the right to accelerate the payments). • If You die during the pay-in phase. Your beneficiary will receive the full death benefit without

deduction. • If You withdraw up to 10% (20% for the unallocated Keogh and certain TSA Contracts) of Your

Account Balance each Contract Year. This 10% (or 20%) total withdrawal may be taken in an unlimited number of partial withdrawals during that Contract Year. Each time You make a withdrawal, we calculate what percentage Your withdrawal represents at that time. Only when the total of these percentages exceeds 10% (or 20%) will You have to pay Early Withdrawal Charges. If You have a Keogh Contract, generally You are allowed to take the “free withdrawal” on top of any other withdrawals which are otherwise exempt from the Early Withdrawal Charge. This is not true if Your other withdrawals are in connection with a systematic termination or purchase payments made over 7 years ago.

We are obligated to pay all money we owe under the Contracts – such as death benefits and income payments – even if that amount exceeds the assets in the Separate Account. Any such amount that exceeds the assets in the Separate Account is paid from our general account. Benefit amounts paid from the general account are subject to the financial strength and claims paying ability of the company and our long term ability to make such payments and are not guaranteed by any other party. We issue other annuity contracts and life insurance policies where we pay all money we owe under those contracts and policies from our general account. MetLife is regulated as an insurance company under state law, which includes, generally, limits on the amount and type of investments in its general account. However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to meet our claims paying obligations; there are risks to purchasing any insurance products. Changes to Your Contract or Income Annuity We have the right to make certain changes to Your Contract or Income Annuity, but only as permitted by law. If the law requires, we will also get Your approval and the approval of any appropriate regulatory authorities. Examples of the changes we may make include:

• To operate the Separate Account in any form permitted by law. • To take any action necessary to comply with or obtain and continue any exemptions under the

law (including favorable treatment under the Federal income tax laws) including limiting the number, frequency or types of transfers/reallocations transactions permitted.

• To transfer any assets in an Investment Division to another Investment Division, or to one or

more separate accounts, or to our general account, or to add, combine or remove Investment Divisions in the Separate Account.

• To substitute for the Portfolio shares in any Investment Division, the shares of another class of

the Metropolitan Fund, Met Investors Fund or the shares of another investment company or any other investment permitted by law.

• To change the way we assess charges, but without increasing the aggregate amount charged to the


78

16

Separate Account and any currently available Portfolio in connection with the Deferred Annuities or Income Annuities.

• To make any necessary technical changes in the Contracts or Income Annuities in order to conform with any of the above-described actions.

If any changes result in a material change in the underlying investments of an Investment Division in which You have a balance or an allocation, we will notify You of the change. You may then make a new choice of Investment Divisions. For Contracts issued in Pennsylvania (and Income Annuities where required by law), we will ask Your approval before making any technical changes.

Section 3: Distribution and Principal Underwriting Agreement MetLife Investors Distribution Company (“MLIDC”) is the principal underwriter and distributor of the Contracts.. MLIDC, which is our affiliate, also acts as the principal underwriter and distributor of some of the other Variable Annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies we and our affiliated companies issue. We reimburse MLIDC for expenses MLIDC incurs in distributing the Contracts (e.g., commissions payable to the retail broker-dealers who sell the Contracts, including our affiliated broker-dealers). MLIDC does not retain any fees under the Contracts. MLIDC’s principal executive offices are located at 5 Park Plaza, Suite 1900, Irvine, CA 92614. MLIDC is registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as the securities commissions in the states in which it operates, and is a member of the Financial Regulatory Industry Authority (“FINRA”). FINRA provides background information about broker-dealers and their registered representatives through FINRA BrokerCheck. You may contact FINRA BrokerCheck Hotline at 1-800-289-9999, or log on to www.finra.org. An investor brochure that includes information describing FINRA BrokerCheck is available through the Hotline or on-line. Contracts are sold through MetLife licensed sales representatives who are associated with MetLife Securities, Inc. (“MSI”), our affiliate and a broker-dealer, which is paid compensation for the promotion and sale of the Contracts. The Contracts are also sold through the registered representatives of our other affiliated broker-dealers. MSI and our affiliated broker-dealers are registered with the SEC as broker-dealers under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are also members of FINRA. The Contracts may also be sold through other registered broker-dealers. Contracts also may be sold through the mail or over the Internet. There is no front-end sales load deducted from purchase payments to pay sales commissions. Distribution costs are recovered through the Separate Account charge. MetLife sales representatives who are not in our MetLife Resources division (“non-MetLife Resources MetLife sales representatives”) must meet a minimum level of sales of proprietary products in order to maintain employment with us. Sales representatives in our MetLife Resources division must meet a minimum level of sales production in order to maintain employment with us. Non-MetLife Resources MetLife sales representatives and MetLife Resources sales representatives receive cash payment for the products they sell and service based upon a “gross dealer concession” model. With respect to Contracts, the gross dealer concession ranges from 1.5% to 6% of each purchase payment and, starting in the second Contract Year, 0.18% of the Account Balance each year the Contract is in force for servicing the Contract. Gross dealer concession may also be paid when the Contract is annuitized. The amount of this gross dealer concession payable upon annuitization depends on several factors, including the number of years the Contract has been in force. Compensation to the sales representative is all or part of the gross dealer concession. Compensation to sales representatives in the MetLife Resources division is based upon premiums and purchase payments applied to all products sold


79

17

and serviced by the representative. Compensation to non-MetLife Resources MetLife sales representatives is determined based upon a formula that recognizes premiums and purchase payments applied to proprietary products sold and serviced by the representative as well as certain premiums and purchase payments applied to non-proprietary products sold by the representative. Proprietary products are those issued by us or our affiliates. Because one of the factors determining the percentage of gross dealer concession that applies to a non- MetLife Resources MetLife sales representative’s compensation is sales of proprietary products, these sales representatives have an incentive to favor the sale of proprietary products. Because non-MetLife Resources MetLife sales managers’ compensation is based on the sales made by the representatives they supervise, these sales managers also have an incentive to favor the sales of proprietary products. Non-MetLife Resources MetLife sales representatives and MetLife Resources sales representatives and their managers may be eligible for additional cash compensation, such as bonuses, equity awards (such as stock options), training allowances, supplemental salary, financial arrangements, marketing support, medical and other insurance benefits, and retirement benefits and other benefits based primarily on the amount of proprietary products sold. Because non- MetLife Resources MetLife sales representatives’ and MetLife Resources sales representatives’ and their managers’ additional cash compensation is based primarily on the sale of proprietary products, non-MetLife Resources MetLife sales representatives and MetLife Resources sales representatives and their managers have an incentive to favor the sale of proprietary products. Sales representatives who meet certain productivity, persistency, and length of service standards and/or their managers may be eligible for additional cash compensation. Moreover, managers may be eligible for additional cash compensation based on the sales production of the sales representatives that the manager supervises. Our sales representatives and their managers may be eligible for non-cash compensation incentives, such as conferences, trips, prizes and awards. Other non-cash compensation payments may be made for other services that are not directly related to the sale of products. These payments may include support services in the form of recruitment and training of personnel, production of promotional services and other support services. Other incentives and additional cash compensation provide sales representatives and their managers with an incentive to favor the sale of proprietary products. The business unit responsible for the operation of our distribution system is also paid. MLIDC also pays compensation for the sale of the Contracts by affiliated broker-dealers. The compensation paid to affiliated broker-dealers for sales of the Contracts is generally not expected to exceed, on a present value basis, the aggregate amount of total compensation that is paid with respect to sales made through MetLife representatives. (The total compensation includes payments that we make to our business unit that is responsible for the operation of the distribution systems through which the Contracts are sold.) These firms pay their sales representatives all or a portion of the commissions received for their sales of Contracts; some firms may retain a portion of commissions. The amount that selling firms pass on to their sales representatives is determined in accordance with their internal compensation programs. Those programs may also include other types of cash and non-cash compensation and other benefits. Sales representatives of affiliated broker-dealers and their managers may be eligible for various cash benefits and non-cash compensation (as described above) that we may provide jointly with affiliated broker-dealers. Because of the receipt of this cash and non-cash compensation, sales representatives and their managers of our affiliated broker-dealers have an incentive to favor the sale of proprietary products. MLIDC may also enter into preferred distribution arrangements with certain affiliated broker-dealers such as New England Securities Corporation, Walnut Street Securities, Inc. and Tower Square Securities, Inc. These arrangements are sometimes called “shelf space” arrangements. Under these arrangements, MLIDC may pay separate, additional compensation to the broker-dealer firm for services the selling firms


80

18

provides in connection with the distribution of the Contracts. These services may include providing us with access to the distribution network of the broker-dealer firm, the hiring and training of the broker-dealer firm’s sales personnel, the sponsoring of conferences and seminars by the broker-dealer firm, or general marketing services performed by the broker-dealer firm. The broker-dealer firm may also provide other services or incur other costs in connection with distributing the Contracts. These services may include providing us with access to the distribution network of the selling firm, the hiring and training of the selling firm’s sales personnel, the sponsoring of conferences and seminars by the selling firm, or general marketing services performed by the selling firm. The selling firm may also provide other services or incur other costs in connection with distributing the Contracts. MLIDC also pays compensation for the sale of Contracts by unaffiliated broker-dealers. The compensation paid to unaffiliated broker-dealers for sales of the Contracts is generally not expected to exceed, on a present value basis, the aggregate amount of total compensation that is paid with respect to sales made through MetLife representatives. (The total compensation includes payments that we make to our business unit that is responsible for the operation of the distribution systems through which the Contracts are sold.) Broker-dealers pay their sales representatives all or a portion of the commissions received for their sales of the Contracts. Some firms may retain a portion of commissions. The amount that the broker-dealer passes on to its sales representatives is determined in accordance with its internal compensation programs. Those programs may also include other types of cash and non-cash compensation and other benefits. We and our affiliates may also provide sales support in the form of training, sponsoring conferences, defraying expenses at vendor meetings, providing promotional literature and similar services. An unaffiliated broker-dealer or sales representative of an unaffiliated broker-dealer may receive different compensation for selling one product over another and/or may be inclined to favor one product provider over another product provider due to different compensation rates. Ask Your sales representative further information about what Your sales representative and the broker-dealer for which he or she works may receive in connection with Your purchase of a Contract. We or our affiliates pay American Funds Distributors, Inc., principal underwriter for the American Funds Insurance Series, a percentage of purchase payments allocated to the following Portfolios for the services it provides in marketing the Portfolios’ shares in connection with the Contract and Income Annuity: the American Funds® Bond Portfolio, the American Funds® Growth Portfolio, the American Funds® Global Small Capitalization Portfolio, the American Funds® Growth-Income Portfolio, the American Fund® Moderate Allocation Portfolio, the American Funds® Balanced Allocation Portfolio, and the American Funds® Growth Allocation Portfolio. From time to time, MetLife pays organizations, associations and non-profit organizations fees to sponsor MetLife’s Variable Annuity Contracts. We may also obtain access to an organization’s members to market our Variable Annuity Contracts. These organizations are compensated for their sponsorship of our Variable Annuity Contracts in various ways. Primarily, they receive a flat fee from MetLife. We also compensate these organizations by our funding of their programs, scholarships, events or awards, such as a principal of the year award. We may also lease their office space or pay fees for display space at their events, purchase advertisements in their publications or reimburse or defray their expenses. In some cases, we hire organizations to perform administrative services for us, for which they are paid a fee based upon a percentage of the Account Balances their members hold in the Contract. We also may retain finders and consultants to introduce MetLife to potential clients and for establishing and maintaining relationships between MetLife and various organizations. The finders and consultants are primarily paid flat fees and may be reimbursed for their expenses. We or our affiliates may also pay duly licensed individuals associated with these organizations cash compensation for the sales of the Contracts.

Section 4: Potential Compensation Slippage/Breakage Slippage or breakage may occur with respect to ERISA employee pension plans. For example, administrative errors may occur in calculating the value of a plan asset (slippage) or a plan transaction may be incorrectly processed (breakage). The correction of slippage or breakage may result in a gain/loss. The gain/loss is generally the difference between the asset value or transaction that was erroneously processed and the value that would have resulted had the error not occurred. Depending on the nature of the error and the corrective action taken, additional compensation may accrue to MetLife as a result of these occurrences. Please note that many investment instructions may be processed on an "omnibus" or aggregate basis and because of this, whether a shortfall or overage is attributable to a particular plan may not be able to be determined. Float Float income is indirect compensation and part of the total compensation that MetLife receives and will be used to offset its administrative costs. Float compensation can be received on both contributions and distributions from employee benefit plans. For example, with respect to payroll contributions, float income can occur for the time period when contributions are received from the Plan Sponsor or other persons authorized to make contributions to the plan, but not yet invested. In the case of payroll contributions, the float period begins on the date of deposit and ends on the date monies are invested. Assuming the receipt of accurate payroll information, the deposit is typically invested on the same day. However, the amount of float may increase in circumstances where contributions are received without appropriate investment instructions. Float compensation from distributions occurs between the time a distribution is processed and ends when the distribution check is cashed. Whether float income is derived from cash pending investment or earnings on uncashed checks, the funds are held in an omnibus account to facilitate the transactions within employee benefit plans. Float income is generally based on short term rates which are similar to money market rates.

Definitions:

Benchmark

A benchmark is a standard against which a mutual fund can be measured

and compared. Benchmarks include broad market and segment stock and

bond indexes. A benchmark is one indicator of whether the mutual fund is

performing up to expectation. When evaluating the performance of any

investment, it is important to compare against an appropriate benchmark.

In the financial field there are dozens of indexes that analysts use to

assess performance of given investments including the Dow Jones

Industrial Average, S&P 500, Wilshire 500 Russell 2000 and MSCI-EAFE.

For example, The Standard and Poor 500 (S&P 500) Stock Index may be

used as a benchmark against which the performance of a stock mutual

fund is compared.

89

Morningstar Ratings:

A system created by Morningstar Inc., as an independent rating

organization, which ranks mutual funds based on their risk adjusted

performance over various periods. 5 star is best, 1 star is worst.

Morningstar ratings are one standard against which a fund can be

measured and compared

SPECIFIC FUNDS

G For a mutual fund, the expense ratio is the total annual fund or class operating expenses (before waivers or reimbursements) paid by the fund and stated as a percent of the fund’s totalnet assets. Where the investment option is not a mutual fund, the figure displayed in the expense ratio field is intended to reflect similar information. However, it may have beencalculated using methodologies that differ from those used for mutual funds. Mutual fund data has been drawn from the most recent prospectus. For non-mutual fund investment options,the information has been provided by the trustee or plan sponsor. When no ratio is shown for these options it is due to the fact that none was available. Nevertheless, there may be feesand expenses associated with the investment option.

INVESTMENT RISK

à These target date funds are designed for investors expecting to retire around the year indicated in each target date fund. The target date funds are managed to gradually become moreconservative over time. The investment risks of each target date fund changes over time as its asset allocation changes. They are subject to the volatility of the financial markets, includingequity and fixed income investments in the U.S. and abroad and may be subject to risks associated with investing in high yield, small cap and foreign securities. Principal invested is notguaranteed at any time, including at or after their target dates.

* An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve thevalue of your investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in these funds.

â Although bonds generally present less short-term risk and volatility than stocks, the bond market is volatile and bond funds do entail interest rate risk (as interest rates rise, bond pricesusually fall, and vice versa). This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities. Bond funds also entail issuer credit risk, and the risk of default, or the risk that an issuer willbe unable to make income or principal payments. Additionally, bond funds and short-term investments entail greater inflation risk, or the risk that the return of an investment will not keepup with increases in the prices of goods and services, than stocks. The fund may invest in lower-quality debt securities that generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk ofdefault or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer.

†† Foreign investments, especially those in emerging markets, involve greater risk and may offer greater potential returns than U.S. investments. This risk includes political and economicuncertainties of foreign countries, as well as the risk of currency fluctuation.

' Investments in mid-sized companies may involve greater risks than those of larger, more well-known companies, but may be less volatile than investments in smaller companies.

© Investments in smaller companies may involve greater risks than those of larger, more well-known companies.

ä Because of their narrow focus, sector funds may be more volatile than funds that diversify across many sectors.

Before investing in any mutual fund, consider the investment objectives, risks, chargesand expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectuscontaining this information. Read it carefully.

Asset allocation portfolios are "fund of funds" portfolios. Because of this two-tier structure, each asset allocation portfolio bears its own investment management fee and expenses as well as

its pro rata share of the management fee and expenses of the underlying portfolios. The Contract Owner may be able to realize lower aggregate expenses by investing directly in the underlying portfolios instead of investing in an asset allocation portfolio. In that case, you would not receive the asset allocation services provided by an investment adviser.� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �� ! ! ! � � � � � � � � � � � � " � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �� # � � � � � $ � % $ � � � & � � � � � ' � � � � � " � � � � � � � � � � � ( � � � � � $ � % � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � $ � ! � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � $ � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � ( � � � � � $ � % $ � � � & � � � � � ' � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � & � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �� & � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � & � � � � & � � � � � � � & � � � � � � � � � � � � � �

While diversification through an asset allocation strategy is a useful technique that can help to manage overall portfolio risk and volatility, there is no certainty or assurance that a diversified portfolio will enhance overall return or outperform one that is not diversified. An investment made according to one of these asset allocation models neither guarantees a profit nor prevents

the possibility of loss.

While diversification through an asset allocation strategy is a useful technique that can help to manage overall portfolio risk and volatility, there is no certainty or assurance that a diversified portfolio will enhance overall return or outperform one that is not diversified. An investment made according to one of these asset allocation models neither guarantees a profit nor prevents the possibility of loss.

Asset allocation portfolios are "fund of funds" portfolios. Because of this two-tier structure, each asset allocation portfolio bears its own investment management fee and expenses as well as its pro rata share of the management fee and expenses of the underlying portfolios. The Contract Owner may be able to realize lower aggregate expenses by investing directly in the underlying portfolios instead of investing in an asset allocation portfolio. In that case, you would not receive the asset allocation services provided by an investment adviser.^ M Y S R K ` S M K X S Q V L Q ` N M T S ^ R | L K } U N Q N M K S S I b
