RISKS

(continued from previous page)

Not a Short-Term Investment

This Contract is not designed for short-term investing and is not appropriate for an Investor who needs ready access to cash. The Contract is typically most useful as part of a personal retirement plan. Early withdrawals may be restricted by the Tax Code or your plan and may expose you to early withdrawal charges or tax penalties.

You might be subject to federal and state income taxes and a 10% penalty.

 

See “PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT” in the full Contract Prospectus.

Risks Associated with Investment Options

 

An 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. Each investment option (including the Guaranteed Accumulation Account and the other Fixed Interest Options) will have its own unique risks, and you should review these investment options before making an investment decision. If all or a portion of your Account Value in the Guaranteed Accumulation Account is withdrawn, you could experience a loss as to the amount invested in that account.

 

See ‘THE INVESTMENT OPTIONS – The Variable Investment Options” APPENDIX A, APPENDIX B and APPENDIX C in the full Contract Prospectus and “APPENDIX: FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT” to this summary prospectus.

Insurance Company Risks

An investment in the Contract is subject to the risks related to VRIAC, including that any obligations, including under the Fixed Interest Options, guarantees or benefits are subject to the financial strength and claims-paying ability of VRIAC. More information about VRIAC, including its financial strength and claims paying ability, is available upon request, by contacting Customer Service at 1-800-584-6001.

 

See “THE CONTRACT – The General Account” in the full Contract Prospectus.

Exchanges

Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new Contract in place of the one you own.
