Guarantees provided by annuities are subject to the financial strength of the issuing insurance company. Annuities are not FDIC or NCUA/NCUSIF insured; are not obligations or deposits of, and are not guaranteed or underwritten by any bank, savings and loan or credit union or its affiliates; are unrelated to and not a condition of the provision or term of any banking service or activity.

Fixed index annuities are not stock market investments and do not directly participate in any equity, bond, other security, or commodities investments. Indices do not include dividends paid on the underlying stocks and therefore do not reflect the total return of the underlying stocks. Neither an index nor any fixed index annuity is comparable to a direct investment in the equity, bond, other security, or commodities markets.

MORGAN STANLEY GLOBAL EQUITY ALLOCATOR INDEX (THE “INDEX” OR “MSGE INDEX”) IS THE PROPERTY OF MORGAN STANLEY & CO. LLC.

ANY PRODUCT THAT IS LINKED TO THE PERFORMANCE OF THE INDEX IS NOT SPONSORED, ENDORSED, SOLD OR PROMOTED BY MORGAN STANLEY & CO. LLC, OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES (COLLECTIVELY, “MORGAN STANLEY”). NEITHER MORGAN STANLEY NOR ANY OTHER PARTY (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY CALCULATION AGENTS OR DATA PROVIDERS) MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE ADVISABILITY OF PURCHASING ANY PRODUCT LINKED TO THIS INDEX. IN NO EVENT SHALL MORGAN STANLEY HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, EVEN IF NOTIFIED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE INDEX IS THE EXCLUSIVE PROPERTY OF MORGAN STANLEY. MORGAN STANLEY AND THE INDEX ARE SERVICE MARKS OF MORGAN STANLEY AND HAVE BEEN LICENSED FOR USE FOR CERTAIN PURPOSES BY SECURITY BENEFIT LIFE INSURANCE (“LICENSEE”). NEITHER MORGAN STANLEY NOR ANY OTHER PARTY HAS OR WILL HAVE ANY OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY TO OWNERS OF THIS PRODUCT IN CONNECTION WITH THE ADMINISTRATION OR MARKETING OF THIS PRODUCT, AND NEITHER MORGAN STANLEY NOR ANY OTHER PARTY GUARANTEES THE ACCURACY AND/OR THE COMPLETENESS OF THE INDEX OR ANY DATA INCLUDED THEREIN.

No purchaser, seller or holder of this product, or any other person or entity, should use or refer to any Morgan Stanley trade name, trademark, or service mark to sponsor, endorse, market, or promote this product, without first contacting Morgan Stanley to determine whether Morgan Stanley’s permission is required. Under no circumstances may any person or entity claim any affiliation with Morgan Stanley without the prior written permission of Morgan Stanley.

The Index includes a variable index deduction mechanism that scales upward based on positive performance of the Index. Such index deduction is applied when calculating the level of the Index and will thus reduce the return of the Index and any product linked to the Index. The Index applies a bespoke volatility control mechanism to identify changing market conditions using intraday data and stabilize the overall level of risk of the Index. The volatility control calculation applied by Morgan Stanley as part of the Index’s methodology may decrease the Index’s performance and thus the return of any product linked to the Index. In addition, because the volatility control calculation is expected to reduce the overall volatility of the Index, it will also reduce the cost of hedging certain products linked to the Index.

Morgan Stanley may transact derivative transactions linked to the Index. Potential purchasers of products linked to this Index should refer to the full offering document for important information concerning such products, including the related risk factors and determine their own appraisal of the risks and suitability of such products.
