The program offers three investment strategies for participants to choose from. Each method provides the necessary diversification to help reduce risk while meeting your long-term investment objectives. Keep in mind that diversification does not guarantee a profit or protection against loss. The three investment strategies are asset allocation age-based, asset allocation risk-based and choose your own investment mix.

Investment Portfolios are subject to market risk, including loss of principal. For the Retirement Fund and Asset Allocation Portfolios you will incur higher costs with these portfolios than if you were to invest directly in the underlying portfolios. However, not all of the underlying portfolios may be available as an investment option in the group annuity contract. An investor investing directly in the underlying portfolios would not receive the asset allocation and rebalancing services provided by Equitable. The Retirement Fund Allocation Portfolios are not guaranteed at any time including the target date. Your account value may be less than your original account value at the target date.
For complete information including risks, charges and expenses, review the ADA Members Retirement Program Prospectus. Read it carefully before you invest or send money.
The ADA Members Retirement Program (contract form #5108 is funded by a group variable annuity contract issued and distributed by Equitable Financial Life Insurance Company (Equitable Financial) (NY, NY). A group variable annuity is a long-term financial product designed for retirement purposes.

There are contract limitations and fees and charges associated with group variable annuities, which include, but are not limited to administrative fees and charges for investment management. Contact a Retirement Program Specialist for costs and complete details.
Equitable Financial Life Insurance Company and its affiliates do not provide tax, accounting or legal advice or services. You should consult your own tax and legal advisors regarding your particular circumstances.
