Total return is calculated assuming a purchase of a share on the first day and a sale on the last day of each period reported and includes reinvestment of
distributions and does not reflect the effect of insurance contract charges. Total return does not reflect expenses associated with the separate account such
as administrative fees, account charges and surrender charges which, if reflected, would reduce the total return for all periods shown. Performance figures
may reflect voluntary fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In the absence of voluntary fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, the total return
would be lower. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Total returns may reflect adjustments to conform to generally accepted accounting
principles. Total returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.
