Portfolio Strategies
	Performance												Performance
This variable annuity account seeks to generate favorable total returns primarily through the rental income and appreciation of a diversified portfolio of directly held, private real estate and real estate-related investments while offering investors guaranteed, daily liquidity. The Account will also invest in non-real estate-related publicly traded securities and short-term, higher quality liquid investments that are easily converted to cash to enable the Account to meet participant redemption requests, purchase or improve properties or cover other expense needs. The Account intends to have between 75% and 85% of its net assets invested directly in real estate or real estate-related assets with the goal of producing favorable long-term returns. The Account’s principal strategy is to purchase direct ownership interests in income-producing properties, primarily office, industrial, retail and multi-family residential properties. The Account may also make foreign real estate investments. Under the Account’s investment guidelines, investments in direct foreign real estate, together with foreign real estate-related securities and foreign non-real estate-related liquid investments, may not comprise more than 25% of the Account’s net assets. The Account will invest the remaining portion of its assets (targeted between 15% and 25% of net assets) in publicly traded, liquid investments.
