What is a variable annuity?
Variable annuities are long-term investment vehicles used for retirement savings. A variable annuity is a contractual agreement in which payments are made to an insurance company, which agrees to pay out income at a later date. You allocate your money among a variety of investment divisions and/or a guaranteed Fixed Account** and your money accumulates on a tax-deferred basis***, meaning you do not pay taxes on your earnings until you actually withdraw them from your policy. In addition to surrender changes, withdrawals may be subject to ordinary income tax and a 10% IRS penalty may apply to withdrawals taken before 59 1/2. This penalty tax is increased to 25% in the case of a distribution from a SIMPLE IRA within the first two years of your participation in the SIMPLE IRA plan.

Assets allocated to the investment divisions are subject to market risks and may fluctuate in value, and values upon redemption may be less than the original amount invested. At your request, the money you've accumulated can be used to provide guaranteed income payments to you for the rest of your life. All guarantees, including the death benefit payments are dependent on the claims paying ability of New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation, (NYLIAC) (A Delaware Corporation), and do not apply to the investment performance or the safety of the underlying investment divisions in the variable annuity. There are fees and expenses associated with this contract. Please see the prospectus for more complete details.

*** Tax-qualified plans (like IRAs, TSAs, and SEPs) already provide tax deferral under the Internal Revenue Code, so that tax deferral of an annuity does not provide any additional benefits. Also, variable annuities are subject to additional fees to which other tax-qualified plan funding vehicles may not be subject.
