Investment Options 

Now that you’ve made a decision to purchase a variable annuity or variable life insurance policy, your next question will be, “What investment options do I have to choose from?” With the products of Ameritas Life Insurance Corp., you can choose from a broad selection of quality investment options from some of the most respected fund management companies in the industry.

Morningstar Monitoring
To help make sure we provide the highest-quality variable investment options, we work with Morningstar Associates, LLC to monitor our entire lineup of investment options. Morningstar’s oversight of our investment options is ongoing. Quarterly, they provide thorough quantitative analysis regarding each investment option’s performance, expenses, and more. If this analysis indicates any problematic or even potentially problematic investment options, Morningstar provides thorough analysis of the investment options’ investment strategies, management and more. As a result of this thorough two-stage analysis, Morningstar may recommend changes to the investment option lineup. Morningstar may also be engaged to select new investment options or managers.

Investment Option Information
To help you select your investment options, we provide a valuable asset allocation program and a variety of important information about each of our available investment options. Please note, not all investment options are available with all products. Your financial representative can help you determine which investment options are available with the product you select. Also, share classes of the investment options listed may vary by product. Please see the product prospectus or application for details about the investment options available with your product.

Rev. 11/9/2009





Variable products are issued by Ameritas Life Insurance Corp. and underwritten by its affiliate Ameritas Investment Corp. They include risk of loss, including principal.

This material must be preceded or accompanied by current policy and investment option prospectuses which provide more complete information about investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses, and other important information about the policy issuer and underlying investment options and also identify which investment options are available with your policy. Those prospectuses are available on this website or by calling 800-745-1112. Read the prospectuses carefully before investing or sending money.

Investment options with “Ameritas” in their name are part of the Calvert Variable Series, Inc. (“CVS”) Ameritas Portfolios, advised by Calvert Asset Management Company (CAMCO). For investment options advised by CAMCO other than the Ameritas Money Market, CVS Income Portfolios and the fixed-income portion of CVS Social Balanced Portfolio, the day-to-day management of the investment options is the responsibility of the corresponding subadvisor whose name is listed with that investment option in the applicable prospectus.
