OVERVIEW OF THE CONTRACT
Purpose
The Contract is designed to provide long-term accumulation of assets through investments in a variety of investment options during the accumulation phase. It can supplement your retirement income by providing a stream of income payments during the payout phase. It also offers death benefits to protect your designated Beneficiaries and favorable tax treatment of insurance proceeds. This Contract may be appropriate if You have a long investment time horizon. It is not intended for people who may need to make early or frequent withdrawals or intend to engage in frequent trading in the Portfolios.
Phases of the Contract
Your Deferred Annuity has two phases: 1) an accumulation or “pay-in” phase; and 2) an income or “pay-out” phase.
1)
Accumulation (Pay-in) Phase
To help You accumulate assets, You can invest your purchase payments in:
●
Portfolios (mutual funds), each of which has its own investment strategies, investment advisers, expense ratios, and returns; and
●
a Fixed Interest Account option, which offers a guaranteed interest rate during a selected period.
Additional information about each Portfolio including its fund type, advisers and any subadvisers as well as current expenses and certain performance information is included in Appendix A.
2)
Income (Pay-out) Phase
You can elect to annuitize your Contract and turn your Account Value into a stream of income payments (sometimes called annuity payments) from MetLife, at which time the accumulation phase of the Contract ends. These payments may continue for a fixed period of years, for your entire life, or for the longer of a fixed period or your life. The payments may also be fixed or variable. Variable payments will vary based on the performance of the investment options You select.
Please note that if You annuitize, your investments will be converted to income payments and You may no longer be able to choose to withdraw money at will from your Contract. All benefits (including the death benefit) terminate upon annuitization.
Contract Features
Contract classes. The Contract has a single contract class with an Early Withdrawal Charge applicable to each amount allocated to the Fixed Interest Account less than 8 years before the date of the withdrawal.
Accessing your money. Until You annuitize, You have full access to your money. You can choose to withdraw your Contract Value at any time (although if You withdraw early, You may have to pay a Withdrawal Charge and/or income taxes, including a tax penalty if You are younger than age 59 1∕2).
Tax treatment. You can transfer money between investment options without tax implications. You are taxed only when: (1) You make a withdrawal; (2) You receive an income payment from the Contract; or (3) upon payment of a death benefit.
3
Death benefit. Your Contract includes a basic death benefit that will pay your designated Beneficiaries a benefit at the time of your death.
Automated investment strategies. At no additional charge, there is one automated investment strategy available to You to help You manage your money based on your risk tolerance and savings goals. If You terminate your participation in the automated investment strategy which has allocations to specific Divisions, You will remain invested in the same Divisions until You request allocations to different Divisions.
Systematic withdrawals. The Systematic Withdrawal feature available under certain Contracts allows the Contract Owner to have a portion of the Account Value withdrawn automatically at regularly scheduled intervals prior to annuitization.
Loans. We may administer loan programs made available through Plans or group arrangements for certain Deferred Annuities. Loans will incur a $75 loan initiation fee and a $50 annual maintenance fee per loan outstanding (these fees may be waived or reduced for certain Plans).

Principal Risks of
Investing in the Contract
Is this a Short-Term
Investment?
No. This Contract is not a short-term investment and is not
appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash.
●Amounts withdrawn from the Contract may result in surrender
charges, tax and tax penalties.

What Are the Risks
Associated with the
Investment Options?
●An investment in the Contract is subject to the risk of poor
investment performance and can vary depending on the
performance of the investment options available under the
Contract (e.g., Portfolios).
●Each investment option (including any Fixed Interest Account
investment option) will have its own unique risks.
●You should review these investment options before making an
investment decision.

Contract charges, we may terminate your Contract.
Principal Risks of
Investing in the Contract
What Are the Risks
Related to the
Insurance Company?
An investment in the Contract is subject to the risks related to the
Company. Any obligations (including under the Fixed Interest
Account), guarantees, or benefits, including any death benefit, are
subject to the claims-paying ability of the Company, and our long
term ability to make such payments, and are not guaranteed by any
other party. MetLife is regulated as an insurance company under
state law, which generally includes limits on the amount and type of
investments in its general account. However, there is no guarantee
that we will be able to meet our claims paying obligations; there are
risks to purchasing any insurance product. More information about
the Company, including its financial strength ratings, is available

RESTRICTIONS
LOCATION IN
PROSPECTUS
Are There Restrictions
on the Investment
Options?
Yes. We do not charge a fee for transfers of Account Value among
Divisions or between the Divisions and the Fixed Interest Account.
Some benefits impose restrictions and limitations on your choice of
Portfolios. The restrictions and requirements could result in You
missing out on some or all positive investment performance by
certain Portfolios. This means your opportunity for investment gains
may be limited. We may change these restrictions in the future. We
reserve the right to add, remove or substitute Portfolios.
The Company also has policies and procedures that attempt to
detect and deter frequent transfers in situations where we
determine there is a potential for arbitrage trading, and in those
instances, there are additional limits that apply to transfers.

How Are Investment
Professionals
Compensated?
Your investment professional may receive compensation for selling
this Contract to You, both in the form of commissions and because
MetLife may share the revenue it earns on this Contract with the

the Portfolios
Should I Exchange My
Contract?
Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to
offer You a new contract in place of the one You own. You should only
exchange your Contract if You determine, after comparing the
features, fees, and risks of both contracts, that it is better for You to
purchase the new contract rather than continue to own your existing
Contract.

BUYING THE CONTRACT
Purchase Payments
There is no minimum purchase payment requirement. We can reject any purchase payment for any reason.
Unless limited by tax law, You may continue to make purchase payments while You receive Systematic Withdrawal Program payments unless your purchase payments are made through automatic payroll deduction, salary reduction or salary deduction.
Subject to your plan's rules, You may make purchase payments to your Deferred Annuity whenever You choose, up to the date You begin receiving payments from a Pay-Out Option.
In the case of TSA Deferred Annuity money being transferred from a fixed account of another insurance company where You did not have access to your money because the company was being rehabilitated or liquidated, we may add additional money to the amount transferred to us to reflect the earlier lack of access.
We will not issue the Deferred Annuity to You if You are age 80 or older or younger than age 18. We will not accept your purchase payments after your Contract maturity Date.
Allocation of Purchase Payments
You decide how your money is allocated among the Fixed Interest Account and the Divisions. You can change your allocations for future purchase payments. We will make allocation changes when we receive your request for a change. You may also specify an effective date for the change as long as it is within 30 days after we receive the request. Allocation of all purchase payments must be in whole dollar amounts or in full percentages. For example, You may not allocate 33  1∕3% of your purchase payment to any Division.
If You choose to make an allocation to the asset allocation Divisions with your initial purchase payment, 100% of your allocation to the investment choices must be to only one of the asset allocation Divisions. After the initial
9
purchase payment has been made, You may allocate subsequent purchase payments or make transfers from any asset allocation Division to any investment choice or to one or more of the asset allocation Divisions. We reserve the right to make certain changes to the Divisions.
Limits on Purchase Payments
Your ability to make purchase payments may be limited by:
●
Federal tax laws;
●
Our right to limit the total of your purchase payments to $500,000 or $1,000,000, depending on the tax market in which the Contract is sold. We may change the maximum by telling You in writing at least 90 days in advance;
●
Regulatory requirements;
●
Retirement, for certain Deferred Annuities. You may no longer make purchase payments if You retire;
●
Leaving your job; and
●
Receiving systematic termination payments (as described later).
The Value of Your Investment
We use the term “experience factor” to describe the investment performance for Division. We calculate Accumulation Unit Values once a day on every day the Exchange is open for trading. We call the time between two consecutive Accumulation Unit Value calculations the “Valuation Period.” We have the right to change the basis for the Valuation Period, on 30 days’ notice, as long as it is consistent with law. All purchase payments and transfers are valued as of the end of the Valuation Period during which the transaction occurred. The experience factor changes from Valuation Period to Valuation Period to reflect the upward or downward performance of the assets in the underlying Portfolios. The experience factor is calculated as of the end of each Valuation Period using the net asset value per share of the underlying Portfolio. The net asset value includes the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distribution paid by the Portfolio during the current Valuation Period, and subtracts any per share charges for taxes and reserve for taxes. We then divide that amount by the net asset value per share as of the end of the last Valuation Period to obtain a factor that reflects investment performance. We then subtract a charge for each day in the Valuation Period which is the daily equivalent of the Separate Account charge.
Accumulation Units are credited to You when You make purchase payments or transfers into a Division. When You withdraw or transfer money from a Division, Accumulation Units are liquidated. We determine the number of Accumulation Units by dividing the amount of your purchase payment, transfer or withdrawal by the Accumulation Unit Value on the date of the transaction.
This is how we calculate the Accumulation Unit Value for each Division:
Step 1: First, we determine the change in investment performance (including any investment-related charge) for the underlying Portfolio from the previous trading day to the current trading day;
Step 2: Next, we subtract the daily equivalent of our insurance-related charge (general administrative expenses and mortality and expense risk charges) for each day since the last Accumulation Unit Value was calculated; and
Step 3: Finally, we multiply the previous Accumulation Unit Value by this result.
10
Examples
Calculating the Number of Accumulation Units
Assume You make a purchase payment of $500 into one Division and that Division’s Accumulation Unit Value is currently $10.00. You would be credited with 50 Accumulation Units. 
$500
=
50 Accumulation Units
$10
 
 
Calculating the Accumulation Unit Value
Assume yesterday’s Accumulation Unit Value was $10.00 and the number we calculate for today’s investment experience (minus charges) for an underlying Portfolio is 1.05 (Step 1 and Step 2 described above). Today’s Accumulation Unit Value is $10.50 ($10.00 × 1.05 = $10.50). The value of your $500 investment is then $525 (50 × $10.50 = $525) (Step 3 described above).
However, assume that today’s investment experience (minus charges) is 0.95 instead of 1.05. Today’s Accumulation Unit Value is $9.50 ($10.00 × 0.95 = $9.50). The value of your $500 investment is then $475 (50 × $9.50 = $475).
MAKING WITHDRAWALS: ACCESSING THE MONEY IN YOUR CONTRACT
Access To Your Money
You may withdraw either all or part of your Account Value from the Deferred Annuity. Other than those made through the Systematic Withdrawal Program, withdrawals must be at least $500 (or the Account Value, if less). To process your request, we need the following information:
●
The percentage or dollar amount of the withdrawal; and
●
The Divisions (or Fixed Interest Account) from which You want the money to be withdrawn.
Your withdrawal may be subject to income taxes, tax penalties and Early Withdrawal Charges on amounts withdrawn from the Fixed Interest Account.
Generally, if You request, we will make payments directly to other investments on a tax-free basis. You may only do so if all applicable tax and state regulatory requirements are met and we receive all information necessary for us to make the payment. We may require You to use our original forms.
We may withhold payment of a withdrawal if any portion of those proceeds would be derived from your check that has not yet cleared (i.e., that could still be dishonored by your banking institution). We may use telephone, fax, internet or other means of communication to verify that payment from your check has been or will be collected. We will not delay payment longer than necessary for us to verify that payment has been or will be collected. You may avoid the possibility of delay in the disbursement of proceeds coming from a check that has not yet cleared by providing us with a certified check.
You may submit a written withdrawal request, which must be received at our Administrative Office on or before the date the pay-out phase begins, that indicates that the withdrawal should be processed as of the date the pay-out phase begins, in which case the request will be deemed to have been received on, and the withdrawal amount will be priced according to, the Accumulation Unit Value calculated as of the date the pay-out phase begins.
11
Account Reduction Loans
We may administer loan programs made available through plans or group arrangements for certain Deferred Annuities. If the loan is in default and has been reported to the IRS as income but not yet offset, loan repayments will be posted as after-tax contributions. Loan amounts will be taken from amounts that are vested according to your plan or group arrangement on a pro-rata basis from the source(s) of money the plan or group arrangement permits to be borrowed (e.g., money contributed to the plan or group arrangement through salary reduction, elective deferrals, direct transfers, direct rollovers and employer contributions), then on a pro-rata basis from each Division and the Fixed Interest Account in which You then have a balance consisting of these sources of money. Loan repayment amounts will be posted back to the original money sources used to make the loan, if the loan is in good standing at the time of repayment. Loan repayments will be allocated to the Divisions and the Fixed Interest Account in the same percentages as your current investment election for contributions. Loan repayment periods, repayment methods, interest rate, any restrictions on transfers or withdrawals from the Deferred Annuity, default procedures, tax reporting and permitted minimum and maximum loan amounts will be disclosed in the loan agreement documents. There may be initiation and maintenance fees associated with these loans.
Systematic Withdrawal Program
If we agree and if approved in your state, You may choose to automatically withdraw a specific dollar amount or a percentage of your Account Value each Contract Year. This amount is then paid in equal portions throughout the Contract Year, according to the time frame You select, e.g., monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. Once the Systematic Withdrawal Program is initiated, the payments will automatically renew each Contract Year. Income taxes, tax penalties and Early Withdrawal Charges may apply to your withdrawals. Program payment amounts are subject to our required minimums and administrative restrictions. If You elect to receive payments through this program, You must have no loan outstanding from the Fixed Interest Account and You must either be 59 1∕2 years old or have left your job. Tax law generally prohibits withdrawals from TSA Deferred Annuities before You reach 59 1∕2. Your Account Value will be reduced by the amount of your Systematic Withdrawal Program payments and applicable Withdrawal Charges (unless You elect to have any applicable Withdrawal Charges deducted from Your Systematic Withdrawal Program payments). To determine if Early Withdrawal Charges apply, see “Early Withdrawal Charges” below. Payments under this program are not the same as income payments You would receive from a Deferred Annuity Pay-Out Option or under an Income Annuity. The Systematic Withdrawal Program is not available in conjunction with the Equity Generator.
If You elect to withdraw a dollar amount, we will pay You the same dollar amount each Contract Year. If You elect to withdraw a percentage of your Account Value, each Contract Year, we recalculate the amount You will receive based on your new Account Value.
If You do not provide us with your desired allocation, or there are insufficient amounts in the Divisions or the Fixed Interest Account that You selected, the payments will be taken out pro rata from the Fixed Interest Account and any Divisions in which You have an Account Value.
Calculating Your Payment Based on a Percentage Election for the First Contract Year You Elect the Systematic Withdrawal Program: If You choose to receive a percentage of your Account Value, we will determine the amount payable on the date these payments begin. When You first elect the program, we will pay this amount over the remainder of the Contract Year. For example, if You select to receive payments on a monthly basis with the percentage of your Account Value You request equaling $12,000, and there are six months left in the Contract Year, we will pay You $2,000 a month.
12
Calculating Your Payment for Subsequent Contract Years of the Systematic Withdrawal Program: For each subsequent year that your Systematic Withdrawal Program remains in effect, we will deduct from your Deferred Annuity and pay You over the Contract Year either the amount that You chose or an amount equal to the percentage of your Account Value You chose. For example, if You select to receive payments on a monthly basis, ask for a percentage and that percentage of your Account Value equals $12,000 at the start of a Contract Year, we will pay You $1,000 a month.
Selecting a Payment Date: You select a payment date (other than the 29th, 30th or 31st of the month) which becomes the date we make the withdrawal. We must receive your request in Good Order at least 10 days prior to the selected payment date. (If You would like to receive your Systematic Withdrawal Program payment on or about the first of the month, You should generally request payment by the 20th day of the previous month.) If we do not receive your request in time, we will make the payment the following month on the date You selected. If You do not select a payment date, we will automatically begin systematic withdrawals within 30 days after we receive your request. Changes in the dollar amount, percentage or timing of the payments can be made at any time. If You make any of these changes, we will treat your request as though You were starting a new Systematic Withdrawal Program. You may request to stop your Systematic Withdrawal Program at any time. We must receive any request in Good Order at our Administrative Office at least 30 days in advance.
Although we need your written authorization to begin this program, You may cancel this program at any time by telephone or by writing to us at our Administrative Office. We may also terminate your participation in the program, depending on your administrative platform, upon notification of your death.
Although Early Withdrawal Charges do not apply to Systematic Withdrawal Program payments from your Separate Account Value, Early Withdrawal Charges may apply to Systematic Withdrawal Program payments from your Fixed Interest Account Value unless an exception to this charge applies. For purposes of determining how much of the annual payment amount is exempt from this charge under the free withdrawal provision (discussed later), all payments from a Systematic Withdrawal Program in a Contract Year are characterized as a single lump sum withdrawal as of your first payment date in that Contract Year. When You first elect the program, we will calculate the percentage of your Account Value your Systematic Withdrawal Program payment represents based on your Account Value on the first Systematic Withdrawal Program payment date. For all subsequent Contract Years, we will calculate the percentage of your Account Value your Systematic Withdrawal Program payment represents based on your Account Value on the first Systematic Withdrawal Program payment date of that Contract Year. We will determine separately the Early Withdrawal Charge and any relevant factors (such as applicable exceptions) for each Systematic Withdrawal Program payment as of the date it is withdrawn from your Deferred Annuity.
Minimum Distribution
In order for You to comply with certain tax law provisions, You may be required to take money out of your Deferred Annuity. Rather than receiving your required minimum distribution in one annual lump-sum payment, You may request that we pay it to You in installments throughout the calendar year. However, we may require that You maintain a certain Account Value at the time You request these payments. You may not have a Systematic Withdrawal Program in effect if we pay your minimum required distribution in installments. We may terminate your participation in the program depending on your administrative platform upon notification of your death.

IMPORTANT TERMS YOU SHOULD KNOW
Account Value, Account Balance or Contract Value —  When You purchase a Deferred Annuity, an account is set up for You. Your Account Value (also referred to as Account Balance or Contract Value) is the total amount of money in your Deferred Annuity including money in the Divisions of the Separate Account and the Fixed Interest Account.
Accumulation Unit Value — With a Deferred Annuity, money paid-in or transferred into a Division of the Separate Account is credited to You in the form of Accumulation Units. Accumulation Units are established for each Division. We determine the value of these Accumulation Units as of the close of the Exchange each day the Exchange is open for regular trading. The Exchange usually closes at 4 p.m. Eastern Time but may close earlier or later. The values increase or decrease based on the investment performance of the corresponding underlying Portfolios. In addition to the investment performance of the Portfolios, the deduction of the Separate Account charge also affects a Division's Accumulation Unit Value.
Administrative Office — Our Administrative Office varies based on the type of service request or transaction that You are making. The most recent correspondence or quarterly statement sent to You will have the address and telephone number that You can use to contact us for specific transactions and requests. We will notify You if there are changes to this information.
Annuitant – The natural person whose life is the measure for determining the duration and the dollar amount of income payments, sometimes referred to as the measuring life.
Annuity Unit Value — With a variable Pay-Out Option, the money paid-in or reallocated into a Division of the Separate Account is held in the form of Annuity Units. Annuity Units are established for each Division. We determine the value of these Annuity Units as of the close of the Exchange each day the Exchange is open for regular trading. The Exchange usually closes at 4 p.m. Eastern Time but may close earlier or later. The values increase or decrease based on the investment performance of the corresponding underlying Portfolios, the experience factor for the current valuation period, the daily AIR and the Separate Account charge.
Assumed Investment Return (AIR) — Under an Income Annuity or variable Pay-Out Option, the AIR is the assumed percentage rate of return used to determine the amount of the first variable income payment. The AIR is also the benchmark that is used to calculate the investment performance of a given Division to determine all subsequent payments to You.
Beneficiary – The person or persons who receive a benefit, including continuing payments or a lump sum payment, in the event the Contract Owner or the Annuitant, as applicable, dies.
Contract — A Contract is the legal agreement between You and MetLife or between MetLife and the employer, plan trustee or other entity, or the certificate issued to You under a group annuity Contract. The Contract contains relevant provisions of your Deferred Annuity or Income Annuity.
Contract Year — Generally, the Contract Year for a Deferred Annuity is the period ending on the last day of the month in which the anniversary of when we issued the annuity occurs and each following 12-month period. However, depending on underwriting and plan requirements, the first Contract Year may range from the initial three to fifteen months after the Deferred Annuity is issued.
Contract Owner — The person(s) or entity entitled to ownership rights under this Contract.
16
Deferred Annuity — This term is used throughout this Prospectus when we are referring to Financial Freedom Account Contracts for flexible contribution deferred variable annuities.
Divisions — Divisions are subdivisions of the Separate Account. When You allocate a purchase payment, transfer money or make reallocations of your Account Balance to a Division, the Division purchases shares of a Portfolio (with the same name).
Early Withdrawal Charge or Withdrawal Charge  —  The Early Withdrawal Charge is a charge that may apply if You withdraw amounts from the Fixed Interest Account that were allocated to the Fixed Interest Account less than 8 years before the date of the withdrawal. This charge is often referred to as a deferred sales load or back-end sales load.
Exchange — In this Prospectus, the New York Stock Exchange is referred to as the “Exchange.”
Free Look — You may cancel your Contract within a certain time period. This is known as a “Free Look.” We must receive your request to cancel in writing by the appropriate day in your state, which varies from state to state. The time period may also vary depending on your age and whether You purchased your Contract from us directly, through the mail or with money from another annuity or life insurance policy. Depending on state law, we may refund (i) all of your purchase payments (and any interest credited by the Fixed Interest Account, if applicable) or (ii) your Account Value as of the date your refund request is received at our Administrative Office in Good Order (this means You bear the risk of any decline in the value of your Contract due to the performance of the Divisions during the Free Look period).
Good Order — A request or transaction generally is considered in “Good Order” if it complies with our administrative procedures, and the required information is complete and accurate. A request or transaction may be rejected or delayed if not in Good Order. Good Order generally means the actual receipt by us of the instructions relating to the requested transaction in writing (or, when permitted, by telephone, facsimile (also referred to as “fax”), email or internet) along with all forms, information and supporting legal documentation necessary to effect the transaction. This information and documentation generally includes to the extent applicable to the transaction: your completed application; your Contract number; the transaction amount (in dollars or percentage terms); the names and allocations to and/or from the Divisions affected by the requested transaction; the signatures of all Contract Owners (exactly as indicated on the Contract), if necessary; Social Security Number or Tax I.D.; and any other information or supporting documentation that we may require, including any spousal consents. With respect to purchase payments, Good Order also generally includes receipt by us of sufficient funds to effect the purchase. We may, in our sole discretion, determine whether any particular transaction request is in Good Order, and we reserve the right to change or waive any Good Order requirement at any time. If You have any questions, You should contact us or your sales representative (where applicable) before submitting the form or request.
Income Annuity — An annuity where the pay-out phase begins within 12 months after the date the Contract is issued.
MetLife — MetLife is Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, which is the company that issues the Deferred Annuities and Income Annuities. Throughout this Prospectus, MetLife is also referred to as the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our.”
Pay-out Options/Income Options — These are options that You may elect when You convert your Contract into a regular stream of income after your “pay-in” or “accumulation” phase. The pay-out phase is often referred to as either “annuitizing” your Contract or taking an income annuity.
17
Separate Account — Metropolitan Life Separate Account E (“Separate Account”) is an investment account. All assets contributed to Divisions under the Deferred Annuities and Income Annuities are pooled in the Separate Account and maintained for the benefit of investors in Deferred Annuities and Income Annuities.
Variable Annuity — An annuity with respect to which returns/income payments are based upon the performance of investments such as stocks and bonds held by one or more underlying Portfolios. You assume the investment risk for any amounts allocated to the Divisions in a Variable Annuity.
You — In this Prospectus, depending on the context, “You” may mean either the owner of the Deferred Annuity or Income Annuity, the Annuitant under an Income Annuity or the participant or Annuitant under certain group arrangements. In cases where we are referring to giving instructions or making payments to us for annuities funding certain 403(a), 401(k) and 401(a) plans and Tax Sheltered Annuities (“TSAs”) under which the employer retains certain rights, “You” means the trustee or employer. Under annuities funding certain 403(a), 401(k), 401(a) plans and TSAs where the participant or Annuitant is allowed to choose among investment choices, “You” means the participant or Annuitant who is giving us instructions about the investment choices. In connection with a 403(b) plan termination, as of the date of the Contract or cash distribution under such distribution, "You" means the participant who has received such Contract or cash distribution. The terms “TSA” and “403(b)” are synonymous wherever they appear in this Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.
18
Appendix A Portfolio Companies Available Under The Contract
The following is a list of Portfolios available. More information about the Portfolios is available in the prospectuses for the Portfolios, which may be amended from time to time and can be found online at https://dfinview.com/metlife/PUFT/MET000210. You can also request this information at no cost by calling (833) 642-1008, by sending an email request to [email protected], or through your registered representative. Depending on the optional benefits you choose, you may not be able to invest in certain Portfolio Companies. If your annuity was issued in connection with an employer plan, not all Portfolios are available under all Contracts and you should ask your employer for a list of available Portfolios.
The current expenses and performance information below reflects fees and expenses of the Portfolios, but do not reflect the other fees and expenses that your Contract may charge. Expenses would be higher and performance would be lower if these other charges were included. Each Portfolio Company's past performance is not necessarily an indication of future performance.
