Important Performance Information Regarding Your

Delaware Medallion I & II (AFLIAC)

 

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less that their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Current month end performance information may be obtained by calling: 800-533-2124.

 

All returns shown represent the percentage change in unit value for the period indicated, after deduction of the mortality and expense risk charge and administrative charge and cost of insurance (M&E 1.25%, Administration 0.15%) and, for adjusted returns, a portion of the $30 contract fee (may be lower in some jurisdictions) and the maximum contingent deferred per payment sales charge (CDSC), which declines from 7% to 0% over 7 years as follows: year 1-7%, year 2-7%, year 3-7%, year 4-6%, year 5-5%, year 6-4%, year 7-3%, year 8-0%.

 

Although the CDSC is reflected in these figures, it is applied only if a surrender is made while assets are in the surrender charge period. Performance figures do not reflect the cost of optional riders. If the cost for the optional rider was reflected, performance figures would be lower. All performance figures are annualized unless otherwise noted. Inception date represents the inclusion of the underlying fund as an investment option within the portfolio of the variable annuity.

 

An investment in the Money Market Portfolio is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, NCUA, or any other government agency. Although the portfolio seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per unit, it is possible to lose money by investing in the portfolio. The yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the portfolio than the current return quotation. Yields will fluctuate.

 

Variable annuities are long term vehicles designed for retirement purposes. Withdrawals or surrenders may be subject to surrender charges. Amounts withdrawn may be subject to ordinary income tax, and if taken prior to 59½, a 10% IRS penalty may also apply. Withdrawals have the effect of reducing the death benefit, any living benefits and cash surrender value. Variable annuities are sold by prospectus. Please refer to the appropriate prospectus for more complete information, including fees, limitations, age restrictions and risk factors that may apply. You should read the prospectus carefully before purchasing a contract.

 

RISK DISCLOSURE


Investments in variable products involve risk. International and emerging markets investing may involve political or currency risks that do not apply to domestic investments. Investments in high yield bonds involve greater credit risks than investments in higher rated securities. Investments in small companies present greater risk of loss than investments in larger, well-established companies. Some portfolios offer more risk than others. Please read both the contract and underlying prospectus for specific details regarding the product’s risk profile.

Important Performance Information Regarding Your

Delaware Medallion I & II (FAFLIC)

 

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less that their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Current month end performance information may be obtained by calling: 800-533-2124.

 

All returns shown represent the percentage change in unit value for the period indicated, after deduction of the mortality and expense risk charge and administrative charge and cost of insurance (M&E 1.25%, Administration 0.15%) and, for adjusted returns, a portion of the $30 contract fee (may be lower in some jurisdictions) and the maximum contingent deferred per payment sales charge (CDSC), which declines from 7% to 0% over 7 years as follows: year 1-7%, year 2-7%, year 3-7%, year 4-6%, year 5-5%, year 6-4%, year 7-3%, year 8-0%.

 

Although the CDSC is reflected in these figures, it is applied only if a surrender is made while assets are in the surrender charge period. Performance figures do not reflect the cost of optional riders. If the cost for the optional rider was reflected, performance figures would be lower. All performance figures are annualized unless otherwise noted. Inception date represents the inclusion of the underlying fund as an investment option within the portfolio of the variable annuity.

Important Performance Information Regarding Your

Delaware Medallion III (AFLIAC)

 

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less that their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Current month end performance information may be obtained by calling: 800-533-2124.

 

All returns shown represent the percentage change in unit value for the period indicated, after deduction of the mortality and expense risk charge and administrative charge and cost of insurance (M&E 1.25%, Administration 0.15%) and, for adjusted returns, a portion of the $30 contract fee (may be lower in some jurisdictions) and the maximum contingent deferred per payment sales charge (CDSC), which declines from 7% to 0% over 7 years as follows: year 1-7%, year 2-6%, year 3-5%, year 4-4%, year 5-3%, year 6-2%, year 7-1%, year 8-0%.

 

Although the CDSC is reflected in these figures, it is applied only if a surrender is made while assets are in the surrender charge period. Performance figures do not reflect the cost of optional riders. If the cost for the optional rider was reflected, performance figures would be lower. All performance figures are annualized unless otherwise noted. Inception date represents the inclusion of the underlying fund as an investment option within the portfolio of the variable annuity.

 

An investment in the Money Market Portfolio is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, NCUA, or any other government agency. Although the portfolio seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per unit, it is possible to lose money by investing in the portfolio. The yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the portfolio than the current return quotation. Yields will fluctuate.

 

Variable annuities are long term vehicles designed for retirement purposes. Withdrawals or surrenders may be subject to surrender charges. Amounts withdrawn may be subject to ordinary income tax, and if taken prior to 59½, a 10% IRS penalty may also apply. Withdrawals have the effect of reducing the death benefit, any living benefits and cash surrender value. Variable annuities are sold by prospectus. Please refer to the appropriate prospectus for more complete information, including fees, limitations, age restrictions and risk factors that may apply. You should read the prospectus carefully before purchasing a contract.

 

RISK DISCLOSURE


Investments in variable products involve risk. International and emerging markets investing may involve political or currency risks that do not apply to domestic investments. Investments in high yield bonds involve greater credit risks than investments in higher rated securities. Investments in small companies present greater risk of loss than investments in larger, well-established companies. Some portfolios offer more risk than others. Please read both the contract and underlying prospectus for specific details regarding the product’s risk profile.

Important Performance Information Regarding Your

Delaware Golden Medallion (AFLIAC)

 

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less that their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Current month end performance information may be obtained by calling: 800-533-2124.

 

All returns shown represent the percentage change in unit value for the period indicated, after deduction of the mortality and expense risk charge and administrative charge and cost of insurance (M&E 1.25%, Administration 0.15%) and, for adjusted returns, a portion of the $35 contract fee (may be lower in some jurisdictions) and the maximum contingent deferred per payment sales charge (CDSC), which declines from 8.5% to 0% over 9 years as follows: year 1-8.5%, year 2-8.5%, year 3-8.5%, year 4-8.5%, year 5-7.5%, year 6-6.5%, year 7-5.5%, year 8-3.5%, year 9-1.5%, year 10-0%.

 

Although the CDSC is reflected in these figures, it is applied only if a surrender is made while assets are in the surrender charge period. Performance figures do not reflect the cost of optional riders. If the cost for the optional rider was reflected, performance figures would be lower. All performance figures are annualized unless otherwise noted. Inception date represents the inclusion of the underlying fund as an investment option within the portfolio of the variable annuity.

 

An investment in the Money Market Portfolio is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, NCUA, or any other government agency. Although the portfolio seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per unit, it is possible to lose money by investing in the portfolio. The yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the portfolio than the current return quotation. Yields will fluctuate.

 

Variable annuities are long term vehicles designed for retirement purposes. Withdrawals or surrenders may be subject to surrender charges. Amounts withdrawn may be subject to ordinary income tax, and if taken prior to 59½, a 10% IRS penalty may also apply. Withdrawals have the effect of reducing the death benefit, any living benefits and cash surrender value. Variable annuities are sold by prospectus. Please refer to the appropriate prospectus for more complete information, including fees, limitations, age restrictions and risk factors that may apply. You should read the prospectus carefully before purchasing a contract.

 

RISK DISCLOSURE


Investments in variable products involve risk. International and emerging markets investing may involve political or currency risks that do not apply to domestic investments. Investments in high yield bonds involve greater credit risks than investments in higher rated securities. Investments in small companies present greater risk of loss than investments in larger, well-established companies. Some portfolios offer more risk than others. Please read both the contract and underlying prospectus for specific details regarding the product’s risk profile.

Important Performance Information Regarding Your

Delaware Golden Medallion (FAFLIC)

 

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less that their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Current month end performance information may be obtained by calling: 800-533-2124.

 

All returns shown represent the percentage change in unit value for the period indicated, after deduction of the mortality and expense risk charge and administrative charge and cost of insurance (M&E 1.40%, Administration 0.15%) and, for adjusted returns, a portion of the $30 contract fee (may be lower in some jurisdictions) and the maximum contingent deferred per payment sales charge (CDSC), which declines from 8.5% to 0% over 9 years as follows: year 1-8.5%, year 2-8.5%, year 3-8.5%, year 4-8.5%, year 5-7.5%, year 6-6.5%, year 7-5.5%, year 8-3.5%, year 9-1.5%, year 10-0%.

 

Although the CDSC is reflected in these figures, it is applied only if a surrender is made while assets are in the surrender charge period. Performance figures do not reflect the cost of optional riders. If the cost for the optional rider was reflected, performance figures would be lower. All performance figures are annualized unless otherwise noted. Inception date represents the inclusion of the underlying fund as an investment option within the portfolio of the variable annuity.
