8 Explanation of risks Below are the different levels of risk explained, to help you when you select your funds. Lower risk Lower to medium risk Medium Risk Medium to higher risk Higher Risk Low risk to investment is the priority, ahead of potential growth. Growth is likely to be modest but, as the investment is not generally guaranteed, it is possible that you could get back less than you invested. A balance of investments offering some investment security alongside the possibility of long-term investment growth or income. The value of your capital could go up or down. Long-term growth and/or income are the priority, based on a wider spread of investments. The value of your investment could go up or down. A narrower spread of investments in such areas as UK shares and international shares. The value of the funds can go up and down and potentially by greater amounts than the funds in the medium category. There is the greatest potential for high long-term growth or income, but the highest risk of capital loss. The value of your investment could go up or down, and may do so more frequently and by greater amounts than funds in lower rated risk categories. Questions and Answers What are the annual management charges on the unit-linked funds? The Annual Management Charge on the majority of Equitable Life funds is currently 0.5%. The new annual management charges that will come into effect on are set out in the table above. Where can I find more information about the unit-linked funds? We have produced Fact Sheets and a Guide to how we manage our unit-linked funds.

9 Who manages the unit-linked funds? Our unit linked funds are managed by Aberdeen Asset Management. Where can I find more information on fund prices? You can view fund prices here and generate graphs of fund price performance over various timescales for all our unit-linked funds. How can I compare the performance of my investments against other unit-linked funds? We place our funds into s which are defined and maintained by the Association of British Insurers (ABI) of which we are a member. The s are designed so that it is easier for you to make comparisons between the funds, when deciding which fund is the most suitable for you. The table shows how your fund compares with similar funds in the same ABI. More information on the different s can be found on the ABI website Quartile rankings are produced by listing all of the funds in the relevant ABI from best to worst. The best 25% are ranked quartile 1, the next 25% are ranked quartile 2, the next 25% are quartile 3 and the bottom 25% are ranked quartile 4. Looking at the quartile rankings will give you an indication of how a fund has performed within its over the various time periods. The quartile performance rankings are provided by Financial Express Analytics. Past performance is no guarantee as to what may happen in the future. What action can I take if I am not satisfied with fund performance? You may decide to switch to alternative funds. Currently there is no charge to switch between funds but we reserve the right to introduce one in the future. How often should I review my investments? It is important that you regularly review your unit-linked investments to make sure that they fit your needs and that you are comfortable with the level of risk. Switching to a fund which better meets your needs is easy and currently there is no charge. We provide more information on how to switch in the guide here. Where can I go for advice? We are unable to provide financial advice, so you should contact an Independent Financial Adviser if you need advice on whether funds continue to be suitable for you. A Financial Adviser will inform you of the fee that they charge for this service. There is a website you can use to find Independent Financial Advisers in your area at:
