AT A GLANCE Immediate and Deferred Annuities Fixed, Variable and Equity Indexed Funds Qualified and Non-Qualified Regulatory Compliance FUTUREfirst Fixed and Variable Annuity E X P E R I E N C E . R E S U LT S . Flexible Options for a Diverse Market The U.S. population is aging, but the number of traditional pension programs is
declining. Confidence in Social Security is low. As record numbers of people choose to
retire earlier, its easy to see that the annuity market is poised for tremendous growth. Buyers are looking for diverse options. Conservative investors want guaranteed interest
rates and retirement income. Investors who actively manage their portfolios want a
variety of funds they can trade often. Buyers also want more options for annuities:
guaranteed death benefits, spouse continuation of benefits, no fee products, long-term
care and living benefits features. To compete with banks and mutual funds, companies must respond to these changing
consumer desires and still remain compliant with regulations. FUTUREfirst provides the
