Disclosures:
1. Bonds are subject to market and interest rate risk if sold prior to maturity. Bond values will decline as
interest rates rise and bonds are subject to availability and change in price.

2. The payment of dividend is not guaranteed. Companies may reduce or eliminate the payment of dividends
at any given time.

3. Fixed annuities are long-term investment vehicles for retirement purposes. Gains from tax-deferred
investments are taxable as ordinary income upon withdrawal. Guarantees are based on the claims paying
ability of the issuing company. Withdrawals made prior to age 59 1/2 are subject to a 10% IRS penalty tax
and surrender charges may apply.

Notes: Source is Wall Street Journals GOP Tax Plan Calculator. The two bills need to be reconciled into one, but using a
simplified version of the Penn Warton Budget Model, which analyzes the impact of the biggest factors in the House bill, you
can calculate an estimate your tax liability for 2018 through 2027. The calculator does not take into account earnings from
capital gains or dividends. Calculations are illustrative and should not be used to tax fillings purposes. Please consult your tax
consultant for specific tax advice.
