This variable annuity account seeks favorable long-term returns primarily through rental income and appreciation of real estate and real estate-related investments owned by the Account. 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 real estate, 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. | Total Return | Average Annual Total Return | ||||||||||||

Real Estate Properties (Net Of Debt) | 53.1 | % | The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the U.S. economy added 533,000 jobs during the first quarter of 2017 as compared to 443,000 jobs during the fourth quarter of 2016. More than 200,000 jobs were added in January and February, but slowed to 98,000 in March. Economists attributed the softening in March to bad weather and accelerated hiring at the start of the year. The unemployment rate ended the first quarter at 4.5%, down from 4.7% at year-end 2016, and the lowest it has been since the pre-recession low of 4.4%. Demand for office space is driven by employment trends in office-using sectors such as finance and professional & business services. In the first quarter, the financial services sector added 45,000 jobs as compared to 40,000 in the fourth quarter of 2016, while professional and business services employment increased by 151,000 as compared to 137,000 previously. CB Richard Ellis Econometric Advisors (“CBRE-EA”) reported that the national office vacancy rate ticked up to 13.0% during first quarter from 12.9% previously. The uptick was largely due to increasing supply. Almost half (28) of the 63 office markets tracked by CBRE-EA experienced declining rates, but vacancy rates increased overall in the first quarter. The national industrial availability rate increased to 8.0% in 1Q17 from 7.9% in the fourth quarter. This marks the first increase after 27 consecutive quarters of declining availability, the longest period on record. CBRE-EA notes that the increase was not unexpected due to increasing supply; over 180 million square feet were delivered in 2016, the most since 2008. Consequently, availability rates increased in 38 of the 64 industrial markets tracked by CBRE-EA. The national apartment vacancy rate increased for the third consecutive quarter on a year-over-year basis and is now 5.0%, up from 4.7% during first quarter 2016. (Year-over-year comparisons are necessary due to seasonal leasing patterns.) CBRE-EA noted that vacancy rates increased in more markets (46) than declined (18), and one market went unchanged. Softer vacancy rates are expected as markets continue to deliver new supply. CBRE-EA expects the apartment market will generally stabilize over the next couple of years, as the pipeline tapers off. Preliminary data from the U.S. Census Bureau indicate that retail sales excluding motor vehicles and parts increased 1.5% from fourth quarter 2016 and 5.4% over first quarter 2016 sales. Rising gasoline prices and the non-store retail segment contributed to growth. CBRE-EA data show that retail market conditions remained steady during the first quarter as the national availability rate held at 10.1%. Continuing job growth should increase wages and boost consumer spending in 2017. Note: Data subject to revision | |||||||||||||
