Highlights – Phoenix Guaranteed Income Edge®
Helps address key retirement risks
Optional 4% or 5% income stream that will continue for life even if managed account is reduced to zero 2
If triggered, income payments from Income Edge would be predictable and unaffected by negative market performance since they are 4% or 5% of the RIB in effect when managed account is exhausted 2
Annual step ups can increase the amount of possible income payments from Income Edge 3

Footnotes
1 At all times, the value of the managed account must be invested in accordance with one of the models within the Strategic Allocation Program that PHL Variable has approved for use with the Income Edge. See Income Edge Rate Schedule for details. If J.P. Turner changes the models in a way that PHL Variable does not accept, or your managed account assets are invested in a way that does not conform to the model limitations, the Income Edge will be at risk of terminating. Assets are not sheltered by a separate account from the custodian’s creditors.
2 The Income Edge is an optional contingent insurance benefit. At the time the benefit is purchased, the customer’s account value of the managed account (Account Value) establishes the Retirement Income Base (RIB). At age 65 or older, customer may take withdrawals from managed account equal to 4% or 5% (based on customer’s choice when Income Edge purchased) of RIB annually. Withdrawals before age 65 or greater than 4% or 5% of RIB each year will reduce the RIB in the same proportion that the Account Value reduced, and this could potentially cause Income Edge to terminate. Guaranteed income payments from Income Edge will be triggered if, during the customer’s lifetime, the Account Value is reduced to $0 as a result of withdrawals allowed under the Income Edge and/or poor market performance. If the trigger does not occur, PHL Variable is not responsible for any payments under the Income Edge. There is a separate fee for the Income Edge that is deducted from the managed account. The fee is a percentage of the RIB and varies by model and 4% versus 5%. A younger purchaser (i.e., one who is under age 65) will pay more in fees over the lifetime of the product for the same potential benefits received by an older purchaser. Income Edge payments are subject to the claims paying ability of PHL Variable.
3 If the Account Value is greater than the RIB on a certificate anniversary, the RIB will be increased to match the Account Value, unless this option is declined. A higher RIB allows for higher annual withdrawals from the managed account, a higher income stream if triggered under the Income Edge, and a higher fee for the Income Edge.
4 This graph is for illustration only and is not meant to represent any actual investment: The customer’s initial account value of managed account (Account Value) establishes the RIB. Assume Account Value increases year-to-year, customer does not decline an optional increase, and does not take withdrawals from Account Value that are “excess withdrawals” for the Income Edge; as a result, the RIB is increased on the certificate anniversary date. If Account Value subsequently declines due to negative performance, the RIB previously increased is not affected by the negative performance. Withdrawals from managed account reduce Account Value.
