  • Special Service Fees: The Company may deduct a charge for special services, such as overnight delivery, up to $25 per service provided.
  • Administrative Charges: A daily administrative charge is deducted from the Subaccounts at an annual rate of 0.15% of the daily net asset value.

RISKS
Location in
Prospectus
Is There a Risk of Loss From Poor Performance?
Yes. An investor can lose money by investing in the Policy. The value of Your Policy may decrease due to poor investment performance of the underlying investment options You select. You bear the entire investment risk for all amounts allocated to the variable investment options, and it is possible to lose the amount You invest.
The Annuity Policy
Investment Choices
Is This a Short-Term Investment?
No. This Policy is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. Variable annuities are designed for long-term retirement or investment goals. If You need to access Your money in the short term, this product may not be suitable for You.
If You have money in an Investment Option that matures at the end of a specified period (such as a Fixed Account Guaranteed Period Option), at the end of the period, Your Policy Value will be reallocated according to Your instructions. If You do not provide instructions, the value will automatically be transferred into a new guaranteed period option of the same length (or the next shorter period if the same period is no longer offered) at the current interest rate for that period.
Expenses
Investment Choices - The Fixed Account
What are the Risks Associated with Investment Options?
An investment in the Policy is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the Investment Options You select. Each Investment Option, including Portfolio Companies (variable options) and any Fixed Option, has its own unique risks. You should carefully review the available Investment Options and their prospectuses before making an investment decision.
  • Variable Options: The value of Your Policy will fluctuate based on the performance of the underlying investment options You choose. You may lose some or all of Your investment.
  • Fixed Options: While the fixed account offers a guaranteed minimum interest rate, withdrawing funds before the end of a guaranteed period may result in a negative Policy adjustment (Excess Interest Adjustment), which could reduce Your return.
The Annuity Policy
Investment Choices
What are the Risks Related to the Insurance Company?
An investment in the Policy is subject to risks related to the Insurance Company. Any obligations, guarantees, or benefits under the Policy, including those associated with any Fixed Options, are subject to the claims-paying ability of Transamerica Life Insurance Company. This means that if the Insurance Company is unable to meet its financial obligations, You may not receive the guaranteed payments or benefits promised under the Policy.
The financial strength of the Insurance Company is evaluated by independent rating agencies such as A.M. Best, Moody's, and Standard & Poor's. These ratings reflect the company's ability to meet its insurance and annuity obligations but do not reflect the investment performance of the Variable Subaccounts.
More information about Transamerica Life Insurance Company, including our financial strength ratings, is available by visiting transamerica.com or by calling toll-free (800) 525-6205.
