Distribution of the Policies
Exchanges If You already own an insurance Policy, some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer You a new Policy in place of the one You own. You should only exchange a Policy You already own if You determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both policies, that it is better for You to purchase the new Policy rather than continue to own Your existing Policy. Exchanges and/or Reinstatements
Overview of the policy
Purpose
The Transamerica Advisory Annuity is a variable annuity Policy. You can use the Policy to accumulate assets for retirement or other long-term financial planning purposes. The amount of money You are able to accumulate in Your Policy depends upon the performance of Your Investment Options. The Policy also offers a death benefit to protect Your designated beneficiaries.
This Policy may not be appropriate for people who do not have a long investment time horizon and is not appropriate for people who intend to engage in market timing or other frequent (disruptive) trading.
Who the Policy is Appropriate For
The Policy is designed for investors who intend to accumulate assets for retirement or other long-term financial planning best suited for those with a long investment horizon. Although You have the ability to make partial withdrawals and/or surrender the Policy at any time during the accumulation phase, the Policy should not be viewed as a highly liquid investment. In that regard, withdrawals taken in the near term can result in Your being assessed a surrender charge, which can be a significant amount. In addition, if You participate in certain optional benefits, withdrawals can markedly reduce the benefit's value. Finally, failure to hold the Policy for the long-term would mean that You lose the opportunity for the performance of Your chosen investment options to grow on a tax-deferred basis. Thus, the Policy's features are appropriate for an investor who does not have significant liquidity needs with respect to money dedicated to the Policy, has a long investment horizon, and has purchased the Policy for retirement purposes or other long-term financial planning purposes.
Phases of the Policy
The Policy has two phases: (1) an accumulation (or savings) phase and (2) and annuity (or income) phase."
Accumulation Phase: To help You accumulate assets during the accumulation phase, You can invest Your Premium payments and Policy Value in:
Underlying fund portfolios available under the Policy, each of which has its own investment strategies and risks; investment adviser(s); expense ratio; and performance history; and
A list of Portfolio Companies in which You can invest is provided in an Appendix to this Prospectus. SeeAppendix - Portfolio Companies Available Under the Policy.
Annuity Phase. You can elect to Annuitize Your Policy and turn Your Policy Value into a stream of income payments called annuity payments. When You Annuitize Your Policy, the accumulation phase ends, and You will no longer be able to withdraw money from Your Policy. Any guaranteed benefits You elected will terminate without value.
4
Table of Contents
You can choose from among several Annuity Payment Options, including those guaranteeing payments for life and/or for a fixed time period. If You choose income for a specified period, life income with 10 years certain, life income with guaranteed return of Policy proceeds, or income of a specified amount, and the person receiving annuity payments dies prior to the end of the guaranteed period, then the remaining guaranteed annuity payments will be continued to a new payee, or their present value may be paid in a single sum.
Primary Features and Options of the Policy
Type of Policy. Transamerica Advisory Annuity Policy is a flexible premium deferred variable annuity Policy. It is a "deferred" annuity because You defer taking annuity payments during the accumulation phase. It is a "flexible premium" annuity because You are generally not required to make any premium payments in addition to the initial minimum premium payment. The Policy is "variable" because its value can go up or down based on the performance of the Investment Options You choose.
The Policy is available as a non-qualified or qualified Policy. The tax treatment of Your Policy may impact the benefits, as well as fees and charges under Your Policy.
Accessing Your Money. Before You Annuitize, You can withdraw money from Your Policy at any time. If You take a withdrawal, You may be subject to a negative Excess Interest Adjustment and/or income taxes, including a tax penalty if You are younger than age 59½.
Tax Treatment. You can transfer money between investment options without tax implications, and earnings (if any) on Your investments are generally tax-deferred. You are taxed only upon: (1) making a withdrawal; (2) receiving a payment from us; or (3) payment of a death benefit.
Death Benefits. The Policy includes, at no additional cost, a default death benefit that will pay Your designated beneficiaries at least the Policy Value. You can purchase a guaranteed minimum death benefit for an additional fee, which may increase the amount of money payable to Your designated beneficiaries upon Your death.
Additional Services. At no additional charge, You may select the following additional services:
Dollar-Cost Averaging. This service allows You to automatically transfer amounts between certain investment options on a monthly basis.
Asset Rebalancing. This service automatically reallocates Your Policy Value among Your Investment Options on a periodic basis to maintain Your standing allocation instructions.
Systematic Payout Options. This service allows You to receive regular automatic withdrawals from Your Policy either on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual and annual basis..
Telephone and Electronic Transactions. This service allows You to make certain transactions by telephone or other electronic means with the appropriate authorization from You.

Withdrawals will reduce Your Policy Value and can reduce or even terminate certain benefits. You may withdraw all or a portion of Your Policy Value, less any applicable fees, and taxes. Additional restrictions may apply to qualified policies. Withdrawing the entire Cash Value of Your Policy (i.e., surrendering Your Policy) will terminate Your Policy and all benefits without value.
There are limitations on Your ability to take withdrawals during the accumulation phase. These limitations are as follows:
Minimum withdrawal amount $500
Taxes There may be tax implications when You take out money.
Negative impact on benefits and guarantees of Your Policy A withdrawal may have a negative impact on certain optional benefits that You may elect. It may significantly reduce the value or even terminate the benefit.
