Variable annuities issued by Pacific Life & Annuity Company are distributed by Pacific Select Distributors, Inc. (member FINRA & SIPC), a subsidiary of Pacific Life & Annuity Company, and are available through licensed third party broker/dealers.
You should carefully consider the underlying fund investment objectives, risks, charges, limitations and expenses of a variable annuity. This and other information about Pacific Life & Annuity are in prospectuses available from your registered representative or by calling customer service. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.
Pacific Life & Annuity:
Variable annuities are long-term investments designed for retirement. The value of the variable investment options will fluctuate and, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Withdrawals and other distributions of taxable amounts, including death benefit payouts, will be subject to ordinary income tax. If withdrawals and other distributions are taken prior to age 59½, a 10% federal tax penalty may apply. A withdrawal charge may also apply. Withdrawals will reduce the value of the death benefit and any optional benefits.
Guarantees are subject to Pacific Life & Annuity Company's claims-paying ability and do not protect the value of the variable investment options.
Pacific Life & Annuity Company's individual variable annuities are available for sale in the state of New York only. This material may be used in New York only.
IRAs and qualified plans — such as 401(k)s and 403(b)s — are already tax-deferred. Therefore, an annuity should only be used to fund an IRA or qualified plan to benefit from the annuity's features other than tax deferral. These include lifetime income, death benefit options and the ability to transfer among investment options without sales or withdrawal charges.
As investment adviser, Pacific Life Fund Advisors LLC (PLFA) has limited discretion to periodically make changes in the Portfolio Optimization investment options and to reallocate your contract values in accordance with the model you have selected because the model may be updated from time to time. Asset allocation does not guarantee future results. Asset allocation matches risk to a portfolio. It does not guarantee future results, assure a profit or protect against loss.
Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) can be a convenient way to continuously invest, regardless of changing prices. However, it does not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets. Investors should consider their financial ability to continue to invest, even when prices are low. The stated minimum interest rate is credited on a declining balance as money is transferred out of the DCA Plus Fixed Option. Pacific Life & Annuity Company assumes the investment risk on the Fixed Options and payment is guaranteed by Pacific Life & Annuity Company, subject to its claims-paying ability.
The following considerations apply to the portfolios underlying the variable investment options within Pacific Life & Annuity's variable annuities:
The Money Market Portfolio is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency, and it is possible to lose money investing in the portfolio.
High-yield bonds have greater credit risk than higher quality bonds. Small-cap, mid-cap and emerging-growth company stocks may be riskier and more volatile than larger, more established company stocks. International investing is subject to currency fluctuations and political changes. Real estate investments involve risks such as refinancing, economic impact on industry, changes in property values, dependency on management skills and risks similar to small company investing. Sector portfolios and concentrated portfolios with fewer securities may be subject to greater price volatility. Floating rate loans involve greater risk of default on interest and principal payments or price changes due to changes in credit quality of the issuer. The value can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments.
Although some portfolios may have names or investment objectives that resemble retail mutual funds managed by the same money manager, these portfolios will not have the same underlying holdings or performance as the retail mutual funds. Investment results may be higher or lower.
Indices are unmanaged and cannot be invested in directly.
Credit enhancements are treated as additional earnings when distributed for tax purposes and will be subject to market risk when invested in the variable investment options. In certain scenarios, Pacific Life & Annuity Company will recapture the credit enhancement; see the prospectus for more information. Contracts with credit enhancements may have higher fees and expenses and longer surrender periods than contracts that do not provide credit enhancements. Any Pacific Value credit enhancement will not apply to the Flexible Lifetime Income, Lifetime Income Access Plus or GPA5 guarantees, unless a step-up occurs.
Check with your registered representative regarding age restrictions. Only one Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (GMWB) rider can be elected on a Pacific Life & Annuity Company variable annuity. GMWB withdrawals are not annuity payouts. Annuity payouts generally receive a more favorable tax treatment than other withdrawals.
GPA5 withdrawals during the 10-year term reduce the protected amount in direct proportion to the percentage that the contract value was reduced. A step-up cannot be elected if the new 10-year term will extend beyond the date the contract is converted to a payout stream (annuity date). GPA5 additions to the contract will be treated as earnings for income tax purposes.
GIA Plus is named "Guaranteed Income Annuity" in the contract rider. Although the step-ups cease and the guaranteed income base (amount invested grown at 5% annually) calculation ends after the annuitant reaches age 80, annual charges will apply as long as GIA Plus is in effect. It's possible that your income payouts could be higher without GIA Plus. If this occurs, you will receive the higher amount. You will have incurred the annual fee and receive no additional benefit.
Earnings Enhancement Guarantee is named "Earnings Enhancement Guarantee" in the contract rider.
Flexible Lifetime Income (Single Life) is named "5% Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit" in the contract rider. While Flexible Lifetime Income doesn't guarantee you a 5% return or growth rate, you can continue to take withdrawals regardless of your annuity's actual value — even if it is $0. The Flexible Lifetime Income 6% credit increases the protected amount that can be withdrawn in later years, but it is not added to your contract value. Flexible Lifetime Income credits will be treated as earnings for income tax purposes. A reset may change the protected amount and withdrawal amounts after a reset may be higher or lower.
Lifetime Income Access Plus is named "Enhanced Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit" in the contract rider. Lifetime Income Access Plus credits will be treated as earnings for income tax purposes. A reset may change the protected amount and withdrawal amounts after a reset may be higher or lower.
