Special Terms
In this initial summary prospectus, the following terms have the indicated meanings:
Access Period-Under i4LIFE® Advantage, a defined period of time during which we make Regular Income Payments to you while you still have access to your Account Value. This means that you may make withdrawals, surrender the Contract, and have a Death Benefit.
Account Value-Under i4LIFE®Advantage, the initial Account Value is the Contract Value on the Valuation Date that i4LIFE®Advantage is effective (or initial Purchase Payment if i4LIFE®Advantage is purchased at contract issue), less any applicable premium taxes. During the Access Period, the Account Value on a Valuation Date equals the total value of all of the Contractowner's Accumulation Units plus the Contractowner's value in the fixed account, reduced by Regular Income Payments and withdrawals.
Account Value Death Benefit-Under i4LIFE® Advantage, a Death Benefit that provides an amount equal to the Contract Value on the Valuation Date the Death Benefit is approved by us for payment.
Advisory Fee Withdrawal-Withdrawals from your Contract Value to pay the advisory fees associated with your Fee-Based Financial Plan.
Annuitant-The person upon whose life the annuity benefit payments are based, and upon whose death a Death Benefit may be paid.
Beneficiary-The person you choose to receive any Death Benefit paid if you die before the Annuity Commencement Date.
Contract-The variable annuity contract you have entered into with Lincoln Life.
Contractowner (you, your, owner)-The person who can exercise the rights within the Contract (decides on investment allocations, transfers, payout option, designates the Beneficiary, etc.). Usually, but not always, the Contractowner is the Annuitant.
Contract Value (may be referred to as Account Value in marketing materials)-At any given time before the Annuity Commencement Date, the total value of all Accumulation Units of a Contract, plus the value of the fixed side of the contract, if any.
Contract Value Death Benefit-Provides a Death Benefit equal to the Contract Value on the Valuation Date the Death Benefit is approved by us for payment.
Contract Year-Each 12-month period starting with the effective date of the Contract and starting with each contract anniversary after that.
Death Benefit-Before the Annuity Commencement Date, the amount payable to your designated Beneficiary if the Contractowner dies. As an alternative, the Contractowner may receive a Death Benefit on the death of the Annuitant prior to the Annuity Commencement Date.
Fee-Based Financial Plan-A wrap account, managed account or other investment program whereby an investment firm/
professional offers asset allocation and/or investment advice for a fee. Such programs can be offered by your financial professional, banks and registered investment advisors, trust companies and other firms. Under this arrangement, the Contractowner pays the investment firm/professional directly for services.
Good Order-The actual receipt at our Home Office of the requested transaction in writing or by other means we accept, along with all information and supporting legal documentation necessary to complete the transaction. The forms we provide will identify the necessary documentation. We may, in our sole discretion, determine whether any particular transaction request is in Good Order, and we reserve the right to change or waive any Good Order requirements at any time.
Investment Requirements-Restrictions in how you may allocate your Subaccount investments if you elect the Earnings Optimizer Death Benefit.
Large Account Credit-The additional amount credited to the Contract if the applicable threshold of value in your Subaccounts is met.
Lifetime Income Period-Under i4LIFE® Advantage, the period of time following the Access Period during which we make Regular Income Payments to you for the rest of your life (and Secondary Life, if applicable). During the Lifetime Income Period, you will no longer have access to your Account Value or receive a Death Benefit.
Purchase Payments-Amounts paid into the Contract other than Large Account Credits.
Secondary Life-Under i4LIFE® Advantage, the person designated by the Contractowner upon whose life the annuity payments will also be contingent.
Selling Group Individuals-A Contractowner who meets one of the following criteria at the time of the contract purchase and who purchases the Contract without the assistance of a financial professional under contract with us:
Employees and financial professionals of any member of the selling group (broker-dealers who have selling agreements with us for this product) and their spouses and minor children.
Officers, directors, trustees or bona-fide full-time employees and their spouses and minor children of Lincoln Financial Group or any of the investment advisers of the funds currently being offered, or their affiliated or managed companies.
Subaccount-Each portion of the VAA that reflects investments in Accumulation and Annuity Units of a class of a particular fund available under the contracts. There is a separate Subaccount which corresponds to each class of a fund.

Overview of the Contract
Purpose of the Contract
The Lincoln Investor Advantage® RIA Class variable annuity contract is designed to accumulate Contract Value and to provide income over a certain period of time or for life, subject to certain conditions. The Contract can supplement your retirement income by providing a stream of income payments during the payout phase. The benefits offered under the Contract may be a variable or fixed amount, if available, or a combination of both. The Contract also offers a Death Benefit payable to your designated Beneficiaries upon the death of the Contractowner or Annuitant.
This Contract may be appropriate if you have a long-term investment horizon. It is not intended for people who may need to make early or frequent withdrawals or intend to engage in frequent trading in the Subaccounts.
Phases of the Contract
Your Contract has two phases: (1) an accumulation (savings) phase, prior to the Annuity Commencement Date; and (2) a payout (income) phase, after the Annuity Commencement Date.
Accumulation (Savings) Phase. To help you accumulate assets during the accumulation phase, you can invest your payments and earnings in:
The variable options available under the Contract, each of which has an underlying mutual fund with its own investment objective, strategies, and risks; investment adviser(s); expense ratio; and performance history; and
A fixed account option, if available, which guarantees principal and a minimum interest rate.
A list of funds in which you currently can invest is provided in Appendix A: Funds Available Under the Contract.
Annuity (Income) Phase. You can elect to annuitize your Contract and turn your Contract Value into a stream of income payments (sometimes called Annuity Payouts), at which time the accumulation phase of the Contract ends. These payments may continue for a fixed period of years, for your entire life, or for the longer of a fixed period or your life. The payments may also be fixed or variable. Variable payments will vary based on the performance of the funds that you choose.
If you annuitize, your investments will be converted to income payments and you may no longer be able to choose to make withdrawals from your Contract. All benefits (including guaranteed minimum Death Benefits) terminate upon annuitization.
However, the i4LIFE® Advantage rider offered under your Contract allows you to make withdrawals and be eligible for a Death Benefit.
Primary Features and Options of the Contract
Accessing your money. During the Accumulation Phase you can surrender the Contract or withdraw part of the Contract Value. If you withdraw early, you may incur a tax penalty if you are younger than 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 when: (1) you take a withdrawal or surrender; (2) you receive an income payment from the Contract; or (3) upon payment of a Death Benefit.
Death Benefits. Your Contract includes a Death Benefit that will be paid upon the death of either the Contractowner or the Annuitant.
Optional Riders. For an additional fee, you can purchase the Earnings Optimizer Death Benefit, the Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit, or i4LIFE® Advantage, a minimum Annuity Payout rider.
Additional Services. The additional services listed below are available under the Contract for no additional charge (unless otherwise indicated).
Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) allows you to transfer amounts from the DCA fixed account, if available, or certain Subaccounts into other Subaccounts on a monthly basis or in accordance with other terms we make available.
Portfolio rebalancing is an option that restores to a pre-determined level the percentage of Contract Value allocated to each Subaccount.
Automatic Withdrawal Service (AWS) provides for an automatic periodic withdrawal of your Contract Value. Withdrawals under AWS may be subject to taxes and tax penalties.
Fees Associated with Fee-Based Financial Plans. You may provide authorization to have your advisory fees paid to your financial professional's investment firm from your Contract Value. Advisory Fee Withdrawals may not impact benefits and values under a Death Benefit or i4LIFE® Advantage or be treated as a distribution for federal tax purposes under certain conditions. Advisory Fee Withdrawals may not be available in all states, and certain firms may not allow withdrawals to pay advisory fees from your Contract Value. Please check with your financial professional.
6
If you elect to pay a third-party advisory fee out of your Contract Value, this deduction may reduce the Death Benefit(s) and other guaranteed benefits, and may be subject to federal and state income taxes and a 10% federal penalty tax. See the prospectus (The Contracts - Death Benefits and Advisory Fee Withdrawals and Federal Tax Matters - Payment of Investment Advisory Fees).

Buying the Contract
This Contract is issued as part of a Fee-Based Financial Plan. A Fee-Based Financial Plan generally refers to a wrap account, managed account or other investment program whereby an investment firm/professional offers asset allocation and/or investment advice for a fee. Such programs can be offered by broker-dealers, banks and registered investment advisers, trust companies and other firms. Under this arrangement, the Contractowner pays the investment firm/professional directly for services. You may be able to pay this fee by taking Advisory Fee Withdrawals from your Contract Value.
If you wish to purchase a Contract, you must apply for it through a financial professional authorized by us. The completed application is sent to us and we decide whether to accept or reject it. If the application is accepted, a Contract is prepared and executed by our legally authorized officers. The Contract (and a statement confirming your investments) is then sent to you either directly or through your financial professional. The purchase of multiple contracts with identical Contractowners, Annuitants and Beneficiaries will be allowed only upon Home Office approval.
When a completed application and all other information necessary for processing a purchase order is received in Good Order at our Home Office at The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company, 1301 South Harrison Street, Fort Wayne, Indiana, 46802, an initial Purchase Payment will be priced no later than two business days after we receive the order. If you submit your application and/or initial Purchase Payment to your financial professional, we will not begin processing your purchase order until we receive the application and initial Purchase Payment from your financial professional's broker-dealer. While attempting to finish an incomplete application, we may hold the initial Purchase Payment for no more than five business days unless we receive your consent to our retaining the payment until the application is completed. If the incomplete application cannot be completed within those five days and we have not received your consent, you will be informed of the reasons, and the Purchase Payment will be returned immediately. Once the application is complete, we will allocate your initial Purchase Payment within two business days.
Purchase Payments - Investing in the Contract
You may make Purchase Payments to the Contract at any time, prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, subject to certain conditions. You are not required to make any additional Purchase Payments after the initial Purchase Payment. If we receive an additional Purchase Payment before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (typically 4:00 PM New York time, or EST), we will credit your Purchase Payment that day. If we receive your additional Purchase Payment after the close of the New York Stock Exchange, your payment will be applied on the next business day.
The minimum initial Purchase Payment is $10,000. The minimum for Selling Group Individuals is $1,500. The minimum annual amount for additional Purchase Payments is $300. The minimum initial Purchase Payment for nonqualified contracts where i4LIFE®Advantage is elected, and where the Contractowner, joint owner and/or Annuitant are ages 86 to 90 (subject to additional terms and limitations, and Home Office approval) is $50,000.
Please check with your financial professional about making additional Purchase Payments since the requirements of your state may vary. The minimum payment to the Contract at any one time must be at least $100 ($25 if transmitted electronically). If a Purchase Payment is submitted that does not meet the minimum amount, we will contact you to ask whether additional money will be sent, or whether we should return the Purchase Payment to you.
Purchase Payments totaling $5 million or more are subject to Home Office approval if you have elected the Account Value Death Benefit. Purchase Payments totaling $2 million or more are subject to Home Office approval if you have elected the Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit. See the discussion below if you have elected the Earnings Optimizer Death Benefit. These amounts take into consideration the total Purchase Payments for all versions of Lincoln Investor Advantage® contracts for the same Contractowner, joint owner, and/or Annuitant. If you stop making Purchase Payments, the Contract will remain in force, however, we may terminate the Contract as allowed by your state's non-forfeiture law for individual deferred annuities. Purchase Payments may be made or, if stopped, resumed at any time until the Annuity Commencement Date, the surrender of the Contract, or the death of the Contractowner, whichever comes first.
8
If you elect the Earnings Optimizer Death Benefit, cumulative additional Purchase Payments after the first rider date anniversary and after the 70th birthday of the oldest Contractowner or Annuitant may not exceed $100,000 each rider year. While the rider is in effect, we reserve the right to limit future Purchase Payments after the 76th birthday of the oldest Contractowner or Annuitant. If the oldest Contractowner or Annuitant is age 70 or older at the time a Purchase Payment is made, Purchase Payments totaling $1 million or more are subject to Home Office approval ($2 million prior to May 18, 2020). This amount takes into consideration the total Purchase Payments for all versions of Lincoln Investor Advantage® contracts with the Earnings Optimizer Death Benefit for the same Contractowner and/or Annuitant. If the Contract Value is zero, then no additional Purchase Payments will be accepted.
Making Withdrawals: Accessing the Money in Your Contract
Before the Annuity Commencement Date - During the Accumulation (Savings) Phase
You can access the money in your Contract by making a withdrawal, which will reduce the value of your Contract (including the amount of the Death Benefit and certain living benefits). You may withdraw all or a portion of the Contract Value (minus applicable charges and other adjustments, discussed below). However, withdrawing the entire cash value of your Contract will terminate your Contract.
Before the Annuity Commencement Date, you can completely surrender the Contract or withdraw part of the Contract Value upon your written request on an approved Lincoln distribution request form (available from the Home Office), fax, or other electronic means. Withdrawal requests may also be made by telephone or our website, subject to certain restrictions. All surrenders and withdrawals must be made in accordance with the rules discussed in the prospectus. The amount available upon surrender or withdrawal is the Contract Value less any applicable charges, fees, and taxes at the end of the Valuation Period during which the written request for surrender or withdrawal is received in Good Order at the Home Office.
If we receive a surrender or withdrawal request in Good Order at our Home Office before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m., New York time), we will process the request using the Accumulation Unit value computed on that Valuation Date. If we receive a surrender or withdrawal request in Good Order at our Home Office after New York Stock Exchange regular market close, we will process the request using the Accumulation Unit value computed on the next Valuation Date.
The minimum amount which can be withdrawn is $300. Unless a request for withdrawal specifies otherwise, withdrawals will be made from all Subaccounts within the VAA and from the fixed account in the same proportion that the amount of withdrawal bears to the total Contract Value. Unless prohibited, surrender and withdrawal payments will be mailed within seven days after we receive a valid written request at the Home Office. The payment may be postponed as permitted by applicable law.
There may be charges associated with surrender of a Contract or withdrawal of Contract Value. You may specify whether these charges are deducted from the amount you request to be withdrawn or from the remaining Contract Value. If the charges are deducted from the remaining Contract Value, the amount of the total withdrawal will increase according to the impact of the applicable surrender charge percentage; consequently, the dollar amount of the surrender charge associated with the withdrawal will also increase. In other words, the dollar amount deducted to cover the surrender charge is also subject to a surrender charge.
There are tax consequences for surrenders and withdrawals.
Certain withdrawals may reduce the value of any optional living benefits you elected or even terminate the benefit.
Some optional living benefits provide withdrawal options.
There are limitations associated with taking money out of the Contract, including the following:
Limitations on withdrawal amounts
•The minimum withdrawal amount is $300.
Negative impact on benefits and guarantees of your
Contract
•A withdrawal may have a negative impact on certain
optional benefits that you may elect. It may reduce the
value of or even terminate certain benefits.
Internal Revenue Code or Retirement Plan
•Depending on the circumstances, the Internal Revenue
Code or your retirement plan may restrict your ability
to take withdrawals.
After the Annuity Commencement Date - During the Annuity (Income) Phase
After the Annuity Commencement Date, you will receive payments under the annuity payment option you select, but generally you may not take any other withdrawals or surrender your Contract. Surrender or withdrawal rights after the Annuity Commencement Date, if any, depend on the Annuity Payout option selected.

Additional Information About Fees
Fee Tables
The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you will pay when buying, owning, and surrendering or making withdrawals from the Contract. Please refer to your Contract Specifications page for information about the specific fees you will pay each year based on the options you have elected.

If such charges were reflected, the ongoing fees and expenses would be higher.
The first table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay at the time that you buy the Contract, surrender or make withdrawals from the Contract, or transfer Contract Value between investment options, and/or the fixed account (if available). State premium taxes may also be deducted.

Appendix B - Investment Requirements
If you elect the Earnings Optimizer Death Benefit, you will be subject to Investment Requirements. These Investment Requirements will apply for the entire time your Contract is in force. This means you will be limited in your choice of Subaccount investments and in how much you can invest in certain Subaccounts. This also means you will not be able to allocate Contract Value to all of the Subaccounts that are available to Contractowners who have not elected this Death Benefit. We impose Investment Requirements to reduce the risk of investment losses that may require us to use our own assets to make a Death Benefit payout.
We have divided the Subaccounts of your Contract into groups and have specified the maximum percentages of Contract Value that must be in each group at the time you purchase the rider. Some investment options are not available to you if you purchase this rider. The Investment Requirements may not be consistent with an aggressive investment strategy. You should consult with your financial professional to determine if the Investment Requirements are consistent with your investment objectives.
You can select the percentages of Contract Value (or Account Value if i4LIFE® Advantage is in effect) to allocate to individual Subaccounts within each group, but the total investment for all Subaccounts within the group must comply with the specified maximum percentages for that group.
In accordance with these Investment Requirements, you agree to be automatically enrolled in the portfolio rebalancing option under your Contract and thereby authorize us to automatically rebalance your Contract Value on a periodic basis. On each quarterly anniversary of the effective date of the rider, we will rebalance your Contract Value in accordance with your allocation instructions in effect at the time of the rebalancing. Any reallocation of Contract Value among the Subaccounts made by you prior to a rebalancing date will become your allocation instructions for rebalancing purposes. Confirmation of the rebalancing will appear on your quarterly statement. If we rebalance Contract Value from the Subaccounts and your allocation instructions do not comply with the Investment Requirements, portfolio rebalancing will be paused, and any subsequent transfer requests will be considered not in Good Order until updated allocation instructions are received. These investments will become your allocation instructions until you tell us otherwise.
We may change the list of Subaccounts in a group, change the number of groups, change the minimum or maximum percentages of Contract Value allowed in a group, change the investment options that are or are not available to you, or change the rebalancing frequency at any time in our sole discretion. You will be notified at least 30 days prior to the date of any change. We may make such modifications at any time when we believe these modifications are necessary to protect our ability to provide the guarantees under these riders. Our decision to make modifications will be based on several factors, including the general market conditions and the style and investment objectives of the Subaccount investments.
At the time you receive notice of a change to the Investment Requirements, you may:
1.
submit your own reallocation instructions for the Contract Value, before the effective date specified in the notice, so that the Investment Requirements are satisfied; or
2.
take no action and be subject to the quarterly rebalancing as described above. If this results in a change to your allocation instructions, then these will be your new allocation instructions until you tell us otherwise.
B-1
At this time, the Subaccount groups are as follows:
Group 1 - Unlimited Subaccounts
Group 2 - Unavailable Subaccounts
These funds are not available if you have elected the Earnings Optimizer
Death Benefit
You may allocate 100% of your Contract Value or Account Value among any
Subaccount not listed Group 2 - Unavailable Subaccounts

As an alternative, to satisfy these Investment Requirements, 100% of the Contract Value may be allocated to one of the following asset allocation models: Dimensional/Vanguard Global Growth Allocation Model or Dimensional/Vanguard Moderate Allocation Model. These models are made available to you by your broker-dealer. You may only choose one asset allocation model at a time, though you may change to a different asset allocation model available in your Contract that meets the Investment Requirements or reallocate Contract Value according to the Investment Requirements listed above. If you terminate an asset allocation model, you must follow the Investment Requirements applicable to your rider. We may exclude an asset allocation model from being available for investment at any time, in our sole discretion. You will be notified prior to the date of such a change.
