Stocks are represented by the S&P 500 Index; bonds by 20-Year U.S. Government Bonds; cash by 30-day U.S. Treasury Bills; and inflation by the Consumer Price Index. Stocks are often subject to significant price fluctuations and therefore an investor may have a gain or loss in principal when shares are sold. Government bonds and Treasury Bills are subject to interest rate risk but are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government if held to maturity. The data assumes reinvestment of income and does not account for transaction costs. Federal income tax is calculated using the historical marginal and capital gains tax rates for a single taxpayer earning $100,000. No state income taxes are included.

Bonds Income Benefits Predictable income Opportunity for fixed rate of return Potential income protection Potential tax advantages Potential Disadvantages Low current yields Income sensitive to interest rate changes, as well as credit, default and other risks Income may not keep up with inflation and taxes
Dividend-Paying Stocks Income Benefits Dividend income Growth potential Qualified dividends may be taxed at a lower rate Potential Disadvantages Income and principal sensitive to market risk Dividend income may be reduced or eliminated in tough economic times
Mutual Funds Income Benefits • Broad diversification • Professional management • Potentially better cash flow • Opportunity for more income and growth potential Potential Disadvantages • Same risks as those of the underlying assets • Unlike individual bonds, bond funds don’t have a fixed yield or a contractual obligation to repay principal
Variable Annuitieswith an optional income benefit Income Benefits Tax deferral Income flexibility Guaranteed lifetime income through annuitization or optional benefits Some optional benefits guarantee rising income for a certain number of years Potential Disadvantages Income may be guaranteed, but principal continues to fluctuate with the market Potentially higher fees and charges Withdrawal charges Possible loss of investment control and access upon annuitization
Systematic Withdrawals Income Benefits • Make withdrawals based on strategy, not emotion • Generate income that has the potential to outpace inflation • Provide a level of income that can help maintain your retirement lifestyle Potential Disadvantages • Fluctuating income • You may need to take less income to help ensure your assets are not depleted

You can obtain a prospectus for the variable annuity you may be considering from the seminar speaker or by calling 1-800-445-7862. The prospectus contains the objectives, risks, fees, charges, expenses and other information regarding the contract and underlying funds, which should be considered carefully before investing. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing. Variable annuities are designed for long-term retirement investing. Withdrawals of taxable amounts are subject to ordinary income tax and, if taken prior to age 59½, a 10% federal tax penalty may apply. Early withdrawals may be subject to withdrawal charges. Partial withdrawals may also reduce benefits available under the contract as well as the amount available upon a full surrender. An investment in a variable annuity involves investment risk, including the possible loss of principal. The contract, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the total amount invested. Guarantees that help protect against market downturns are optional, subject to conditions, limitations and an additional fee. All contract and optional benefit guarantees are backed by the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurer. This material was prepared to support the marketing of the SunAmerica Variable Annuities.
