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.
